@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz totally!

i triple-main for the most part (new squiffer, luna, and splat brella), but i play so many different weapons overall

it's not spreading yourself thin to get to know the strengths and weaknesses of anything that catches your interest--and sometimes you can figure out neat strategies for different modes

plus it's fun to experiment

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz my aim is really unpredictable too, but if you get the drop on someone, it can play ridiculously offensively

i get >20 splats on quite a few matches with it!

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i really like the luna!

i also find it pairs with ninja squid extremely well since it's a 0HKO weapon when your aim is good

re: harassment/abuse 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz but what i was getting at is that the people who are in the mobs i see usually aren't the victims friends

i mean, their friends *do* feel pressure… but not to join the mob–they often feel pressure to withdraw

this has other problems, because that evaporates the support network of the person being attacked, meaning those friends have basically become enablers

re: harassment/abuse 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh, i definitely agree

it's also really frustrating because, even if everyone realizes this is happening, it's *extremely* hard to hold a mob accountable since focus can't be easily distributed among a group without dehumanizing it

these are *individual people* doing nasty things; not some faceless abstract entity like a mob

re: harassment/abuse 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz that...sounds like a lovely dynamic

the mobs i usually see are large crowds, convinced by someone with a grudge that someone they don't like is Bad™

any individual thing that someone can dig up to paint you as nasty is enough to steer a crowd using sensationalism

re: harassment/abuse 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i've always thought the people who fear this the most are people who have friends that were affected by it and have no other support network

when something almost hits you, and you realize if it were you, you would be doomed? that's kinda spooky

i wonder who the first country leader with a fursona will be

i mean, it'll probably happen eventually, right?

insects 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz yeesh, that's pretty gnarly

i knew they were pretty hard to get rid of and a really Bad Thing, but that sounds just crazy :ms_confused:

re: insects, grisly, cursed (and not in the fun way) 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oof, i guess that's one way to start off spooktober

not at all the kind of spooked i was hoping for though 😶​

insects 

that's from here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockroac

i don't think i've ever seen a cockroach irl, and was curious if they bite or if they're just a litmus test of something else

@wobblewuffess oof

@Nurbs eck

that's annoying, and reship services cost and arm and a leg sometimes :T

@sugar you're really cute here!

i like rumwik's art a lot!

October means pokemon dressing up as pokemon (by @rumwik on twitter)

on the other hand, it's also now officially pichu day in japan (10/2)

drawing something for that is what kicked off my streak last year
