I'm still figuring it out, but I think I might be genderfluid! Although I've been ok with both he and they pronouns for a while, I've updated my pronouns to explicitly include both! (I'll probably feel masc more often than not, but I do want to share for future reference!) <3

Episode 1 VoD will be out later today (Nep2ne will post it) if you don't want to suffer through Twitch VoDs :) It was a really fun and informative conversation, and I hope that it inspires change within the scene! Also, let us know who you'd like to see in the future, we may be able to get them 👀

We are now LIVE with our first episode! 🔴: twitch.tv/nep2ne_

Introducing a new Splatoon podcast: Squid Spotlight! Co-hosted w/ @imxi.bsky.social, we are focused on help grow our scene & skill one topic at a time. Our guest @chronospyli.bsky.social will be guiding you through the X rank mines. 📅: Today! 10/27/26 ⌚: 3pm PST / 6pm EST 🔗: twitch.tv/nep2ne_

I'm selling this modded Switch Lite btw, just hit me with an offer in DM or on Discord I'll make a post later about my situation, but things are looking a bit rough atm.

there's a big misconception going around that if you play comp splatoon, your motivation is solely to improve, when that's simply not true for everyone remember that this is a social space and outlet for people as well, and some would prefer just having fun compared to the work it takes to improve

There is such a disdain for low level players from some of you I swear you would rather people quit out of frustration and a feeling of hopelessness than get better if they get to do so in a way that is fun and relatively painless

is there genuine interest in this beyond "cool idea, won't play it myself tho"? I could probably get an independent team to run it, however I don't wanna waste too much of my time if it's just gonna flop (that is most of my hesitation atm) #compsplatoon thoughts?

sendou.ink update - October 24th 2026 To help you pick your SendouQ map pool win percentages from the last 4 season are now shown in the picker! Either pick your best maps (for wins) or worst maps (for practice) + there is a new developer-oriented docs.sendou.ink + other smaller things #sendouink

who are your top 3 up and coming commentators? #compsplatoon disqualifying past appearances: - 2nd block on an X tiered tournament - selected for riptide - low ink day 2 block 2 (i think you're beyond "up and coming" if TOs feel confident in giving you these positions)

splatoon 3 weapon tier list but it's based on how many matches (estimated in some cases) it's been since you've seen each weapon in soloq

I have seen the #banthewhiprays trend. Here is my response: www.twitch.tv/iplsplatoon/...

#justsaying

uh oh

good start

Who will take the challenge to survive my 4 brackets? #highdivsplatoon

Hey, you. Are you a #compsplatoon player who dabbles in Pokemon Champions? Time to put those skills to the test. Malamar Cup is a little tournament I'm hosting for the "Splatoon Players who also play Pokemon VGC" market. But you don't need to be a Splatoon player to join lol. Links & Info below:

last night I saw a #compsplatoon tournament named one of their brackets "Blue Bracket (GOLD)" are we just renaming brackets because we can now and not for clarity 😭

Update! Voice chat is in beta (by @hfcred.dev). If you used Discord you should more or less know how this works. VC both on match & group level. We also now support YT streams in addition to Twitch. Need to have #sendouink somewhere in the title/description for the stream to be picked up.

Scanner COACH MODE is here. I'd prefer to show this feature off rather than trying to explain it all in the character count so I made a video showcase (around 8min) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfsv... #sendouink

sendou.ink update - October 9th 2026 Headline is the new multi-step tournament form that features a visual bracket builder. We also have new formats with SE/DE groups. SE/DE can also now skip rounds (useful for qualifiers). Also other misc tweaks and fixes, mostly related to Scanner. #sendouink

Die Basket #18 (its back!) $100 for 1st + badge $40 for 2nd + badge Double Elim Zones Only Friday October 23rd 8 est PM (link below) #CompSplatoon

Today's update! @hfcred.dev put work in and overhauled the whole chat. Along a slew of fixes like fixing stacked chats for mobile he added: - mentions - stickers - replies - new message divider - failed message retries + more! In addition: scanner speed & correctness improvements. #sendouink

I really liked this question (10 min yap done in one take), enjoy youtu.be/qEtz5f6HHDc

might do an unlisted ramble about coaching at some point today give me ideas/questions that are coaching-related please and I may answer them if I can make the ramble useful 🙏

Thank you for the great response to the scanner release yesterday! Today's update adds Discord-like "crop/rotate/zoom" when uploading images. Scanner also now reads CB objective and X Rank powers. + fixed a bunch of Scanner related issues (tyvm people who reported!) #sendouink

With this announcement, I am happy to announce that I will be working with the program going forward! I'm so excited to continue working on this project, and I hope you all are anticipating the first official run of the program!

I just made a 5 minute video quickly going over the main uses of the scanner as well, hope this helps! youtu.be/K4aW7kMJjs8

As someone who was fortunate enough to beta test this, it feels like a dream to have something this advanced for Splatoon. Sendou magic cooks as always!
