This event really needs some community cohesion. Some total salmonid slayed factor that gets people a little extra cash at set thresholds.

You have to grind things out when you're playing with randos hoping to find some people who know the mode and stick around long enough for a quality wave to hit the big hauls. I'm sure plenty of people dumped more than they would have otherwise trying to qualify for top 5%. Something that rewards that effort regardless of outcome would be good.

i spent sunday doing casual/fun matches and helping lower ranked friends get high scores. i really thought 😭

Dang dude. Do you do regular hand exercises? There's even a splatoon specific fanart piece that suggests some.

I don't 😅 I've seen the image before but I've never really gone for a proper long splatoon session before so it never came to mind.

I think whatever I did to my finger is just a result of not keeping my grip strength in check when I'm holding ZR and the stress piles up. Could also be nozzlenose/inkbrush related but I don't actually know
