Just to let everyone know I'm still around, here's what's been going on lately. Choose a topic of interest and read on for more details...
Art & PollsI haven't felt like drawing much lately. I have a million things started, and I do have an idea in mind for my
latest poll, but it's rather ambitious and is going to take some time. I've begun working on it, though, but I'm slow and also work during the week. Just be patient, please.
Also! I was contacted recently about designing a Splatoon OC for someone. I offered to do it as a cheap commission (still deciding on prices). This may be something I do for others in the future. If you think you'd be interested, please leave a comment and let me know. I'm not starting on this
yet, but I may do it eventually. Just FYI.
Videos & SplatoonYes I still play Splatoon most nights (unless the stages suck ass and no one else is on). If you want to join me, you can add my NNID. Just don't be a bitch if there's a squid party.
I've made some new videos on my channel as well. If you play with me, you might end up in a future video.
Click here to visit the channel, but beware that many of the videos contain NSFW commentary. Everything is organized into playlists, and there are some videos without commentary as well, so feel free to browse.
In this video, I discuss Splatoon 2 and Salmon Run with my friend "wet cheese" (
rupoor), and we are later joined by the great Miss Hilga (
CherishedRose). If you're interested, check it out and please leave your thoughts on Sploon and Salmon Run! I'm curious to know what you think.
And while we're on the subject of Sploon and Miss Hilga, she and I will be having another Humboldt Squid Showdown in the near future. It's a
horribly salty friendly competition between two Humboldts, and you are welcome to be a live spectator! You may even end up in a video! If you're interested, please contact me.
Click here for the previous Humboldt Squid Showdown videos. Some contain commentary and others contain only music.
Also, I need to show this off because I'm hella hyped and it's so cool. LOOK.
I actually ordered the hat and got two slots filled in, so I decided to open the last one and take what I could get. And this is what it gave me. Amazing, right? It came in handy, too, because some dumb bitch-boy in our game kept trying to kill people and teabag them. He tried so hard to catch me but Miss G just flew away. Bye, ho~
And speaking of bitch-boys...
DramaSo this won't mean much to most of you. It's just petty shit, but I'm feeling vindicated, and if you eat up drama like I eat up chocolate, well you'll find this bit of gossip quite delicious.
Some little asswipe (we'll call him "shrimp dick") had been pissing me off on Facebook. He seemed normal at first. We were both part of a Splatoon group, and he expressed interest in my channel and videos. Despite telling me he would subscribe, he either didn't do this or he subscribed for a short while (less than a day) and then unsubscribed. So, either way he's a liar. I don't care if he watches my shit or not. I doubt it'd interest him, but red flag #1 was his lying. That was the first clue that he wasn't trustworthy. I thought nothing of it, though.
Next thing he does is ask me to join some Discord conversation. I told him no thanks, because I couldn't get Discord calls to work so I decided to not bother with the program. I only use Skype, and he began insulting me for that. "EWWW you use Skype? So old!" Bitch, whatever. This is when I found out the little tool was
my age. Which is pretty pathetic. I would have sworn he was a teenager or some guy in his early twenties. He sure acted like it, anyway. So I told him off, because on top of this he kept calling me "baby" every time we spoke. Like, excuse you? The fuck are you calling me "baby" for? We're not a thing. Fuck outta here with that shit. That was his whole deal, I guess. Flirty talk with people he barely knew, as well as bragging about his rank in Splatoon and the clan/squad he leads. And do you know what the asshole's response to me is, when I tell him how I don't appreciate his disrespectful behavior?
^THAT. That fucking emoji was his response to me telling him he was being rude. You've probably got a pretty clear picture of his personality by now.
I didn't talk to him much afterward. Unfortunately, a few of my friends are part of his squad and they all kiss his ass, which is exactly what he wants. He always posted about how he wanted to become famous for his squad and Splatoon skills. I don't have a problem with people enjoying a game and being competitive, but he was an arrogant dick about it all the time. And because I'm not someone who bows down and kisses the feet of people simply because they're popular, we never got along. He kept giving me bad vibes and I just couldn't like him. I expressed this to my friends, but as expected they brushed it off.
Eventually he removed me from his contact list when I posted a status about the Splatoon 2 testfire. I never tagged him. It wasn't a callout of any kind. It wasn't directed at him or
anyone in particular. I was simply expressing my opinion about how much I dislike experienced players bullying newbies. To be honest, I didn't think this guy even read any of my posts. He never interacted with them, but the moment I post this and say some shit about tryhards splatting noobs to make their little dicks feel bigger, OH BOY THIS GUY WAS ON THAT THREAD LIKE WHITE ON RICE. He took so much offense to it, and now you probably understand why I dubbed him "shrimp dick."
But he removed me and I had nothing more to do with him. Good riddance to bad trash. However, today a friend of mine contacts me out of the blue and warns me to block him. Apparently she had told little shrimpy that she wanted to leave his squad because she wasn't very active. To this he said nothing, but a short time later she began receiving hateful comments on her Youtube channel from random accounts (and by her description, the accounts had been made fairly recently). Rather suspicious, I'd say. She also admitted to me that he had been sending her creepy, lewd messages back when they were still friends.
And all I could say was: WHAT DID I FUCKIN' TELL Y'ALL? Little creepy shrimp dick is a fucking slimy asshole, just like I said! I knew all those bad feelings I had had about him were well-placed. So let this be a lesson to you squiddos: listen to your intuition. If something is telling you that a situation or a person is bad news, get the fuck out as quick as you can. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble.
Well, that's it for now. If you read all that, thank you very much for your time. I'll post more art again soon, I promise. Message me, leave a comment, and let's talk some Sploon.
