Remember, kids: Talk to your fellow employees about how much you're paid. No employer has your best interests at heart. They need your labor to continue doing business, and they want to pay as little as they possibly can for it.

This is not really a joke

Splatoon 1 utterly consumed me for months. I was consistently ranked B+ and I was sheer terror with a Luna Blaster.

Splatoon 2 passed me by, as I didn't have a Switch yet, and it seems a little late to jump in now because....

Splatoon 3 drops on the ninth of September. The Luna Blaster mayhem shall resume!

The correct response to "please unsub me from marketing e-mail" is not to delete the account.
