REMINDER TO SELF: NEVER POST LOCATION OF PRACTICE REHEARSAL. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THE SAXOPHONE COULD DO THAT.

[swaggiestsalmonid420]

I'd like to thank the academy etc etc

[swaggiestsalmonid420]

I know it's still a few days out but I'm gonna be pausing the gear repairs until after the big run for obvious reasons

you can still send in asks if you need guidance doing your own work, or just to hear me yap about mechanics/engineering nerd whatever, but as far as irl stuff goes I need to pump the breaks and focus on not trashing Bubblez and I's apartment

if you want to hear me yap that'd be cool, honestly it'd take my mind off the pre-run jitters...

BIG RUN SURVIVAL GUIDE (FROM YOUR LOCAL SALMONID RIGHTS AND ACCEPTANCE ACTIVIST)

With another Big Run on the horizon, I've decided to update my protocol for what to do for a Big Run. Most of the information is the same as the old one, only with a few changes (and for easier access I guess).

REMEMBER: The most important thing during a Big Run is protecting your life, not protecting the name of a giant corporation and the propaganda they spread.

1. REMAIN CALM

Panicking over the red sky, heavy air, and stink aren't going to help anybody. Panicking will only lead to other people panicking, and because of panic, will lead to a multitude of negative events that won't help anyone. This includes hires at Grizzco, in which if you're not already working there, getting hired now is a terrible time. (will expand on Grizzco later)

Stay calm and proceed with other safety precautions

2. STAY INSIDE

Now is NOT the time to play Turf War. Especially when it comes to maps in rotation that are near the Big Run site. Invading Salmonids are bound to get lost in the sewers and end up in places their not supposed to be, and unfortunately for them, probably don't know how to keep calm in this situation, leading to issues not only for them, but for those around them.

While stray Salmonid warriors are quite rare, it's best to play it safe and stay inside.

3. LOCK WINDOWS AND DOORS

IT IS BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!! While still on the topic before, stray Salmonids are rare, but can still happen. It is better for you if you stay inside and make sure to lock your doors so no unwanted intruders get in. This is especially important for if you live closer to the Big Run site!

I would also recommend closing your toilet and checking your sink, or any place that connects to the sewer system. Smallfries are notorious for getting lost, and are likely to get in through your toilet or sink if they try hard enough.

4. HAVE A WEAPON CLOSE BY TO DEFEND YOURSELF JUST IN CASE

In the circumstances an intruder DOES somehow get in, treat them like any other intruder. Kick them out, and if they are looking for a fight, use a weapon if necessary. This can range from a big stick to an E-Liter. In an emergency where you find yourself facing off against multiple intruders, make sure you have places to reset and fight back the intruders. If it gets too overwhelming, don't risk it and retreat to higher ground or another room, locking the door.

DO NOT ATTACK ANY STRAY SALMONIDS UNLESS THEY ATTACK YOU!! Some might be armed, some might not be armed. If they don't attack you, don't attack them. Some might be living in town with you! You WILL NOT attack your neighbors under any other circumstance.

5. DO NOT HELP OUT AT GRIZZCO IF YOU AREN'T WORKING THERE ALREADY

From what I heard, no, you're not gonna get paid well for getting hired during a Big Run. There is so much going on in the building that many new hires are pushed aside, barely paid anything for helping out. But the main reason you shouldn't get hired during a Big Run is because IT IS TOO DANGEROUS!! REMEMBER!! YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY IS STAYING SAFE!! Putting yourself into danger will have consequences. I've met MANY who got too reckless.

REMEMBER!! BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!!

AS FOR EMPLOYEES ON THE CLOCK...

DON'T PUSH YOURSELVES. DO NOT FALL FOR THE TRICKS JUST TO GET MORE EGGS. YOUR HERE TO DEFEND YOUR TERRITORY, NOT EXPLOIT.

PROTECT PEOPLE, THAT IS YOUR JOB. YOU ARE NOT HERE TO STEAL EGGS. YOU ARE NOT HERE TO EXPLOIT THE SALMONIDS!! YOU ARE TREATING THEM LIKE THEY TREAT YOU OUT OF BIG RUN!! YOU ARE PROTECTING US FROM INTRUDERS.

YOU ARE HERE TO DEFEND THE CITY.

Stay safe out there, and please remember that you put yourselves and others around you before the name of a big corporation. I honor those who do fight in the front lines, but we do all know that Grizzco likes to get greedy with egg harvesting. Please, stay safe and make good choices

Signing off, Novel

to add on to this:

if you're a Salmonid living in Inkfish territory like I am, and can't get out of the area before the weather kicks in, then:

Find someone you trust to look after you, preferably a non-salmonid

You already know how the magnetic fields and primal urges fuck with your head, attempting to "tough it out" is useless and only gets more stuff broken.

Have them set you up in a secure, dark space, preferably no windows so you can't see the red sky, with a meat-heavy meal and something comforting to focus on. treat this like you're about to trip absolute balls

Stay hunkered. let them take care of you. set aside your pride for a bit

you'd rather tear up a couch instead of your loved ones

stay put

My friends have all been begging me to join their competitive team for Anarchy battles, so i caved and said yes.

Issue is, my old splatana stamper is busted, and I cant afford to buy a new one given that Sheldon's prices have been through the roof recently. I have also heard that the company that makes official replacement belts for stampers has been funding Grizzco, so I would rather not spend my gold there.

I heard you were good with repairing weapons, so Im wondering what the price would be for you to replace the old belt with a custom one, whete instead of the inkfish alphabet, the lettering on the belt is the team symbol. I can send ypu a sketch of it with the splatana.

Also, for a little extra, would you be willing to tweak to rotor on it so it charges slightly faster? Nothing to obvious, of course.

Well, it'd take longer since I'd need to cast the custom stamps and fit them to a turf grade belt, which I'd either also have to make or find a third-party parts manufacture

so it wouldn't be a 30 minute in-and-out like most of the repairs I've been taking

but I CAN do it, and I can also do the rotor adjustment

as far as price goes. uhhhh. I still don't like money as a concept but I'd say whatever the cost the materials end up being should be fair, so maybe a maximum of 950 G? though probably lower

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.

It's incredibly sad people have to resort to this, but it's a damn good resource. Use it. Spread awareness. Maybe one day people with physical disabilities won't need DIYs like this. But until then, reblog and share.

[this-is-accessibility]

This is Accessibility!

That's so amazing! It is unfortunate that so many people will need this, but very very cool that it exists

Thank you so much for putting the working one!

I will add it to my original reblog as well.

what would be the most straightforward and simple way of making a weapon no longer turf war grade?

asking for a friend of course

well it'd be to jack up the fire rate if its any sort of shooter, but also the inktank refill speed for them all

yeah there are tank-refill chunks that make it go faster but those are within guidelines, anything faster than a maxed-out tank refill build is going to suck the user's inksack dry immediately and then some

which yeah is fun for the first little while but then it'll feel like you've been turned into saki ika, which isn't too far from the truth if you continue after that point

thats regulated for a reason

ways to disqualify that AREN"T gonna turn you into a hospitalized raisin would be the fire rate or making each fire harder-hitting, like one-hit splats, and that usually can both be achieved by larger tubing and increasing the ink pressure within the weapon if it's a shooter

for a roller you could just remove the padding so all you're hitting them with is ink-covered metal

as for a slosher, not much you can do to change it unless its any sort of explosher variety, and in that case its similar to the shooters mentioned above

but that runs the risk of if you increase the pressure too much it could explode in your hands, and in that case you won't go to the hospital as a raisin, you'll go to the hospital as a splatted pincushion
