In particular there's this presumable Salmon Run track that honestly sounds really creepy09 May 2026 14:40 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlghyrh4uc2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3ml7qiwrd7s2qI never played StarFox but this remake looks pretty cool. Even though it's still based on StarFox 64 I guess they re-imagined it regarding storytelling and cinematics06 May 2026 22:23 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml7qiwrd7s2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mky5hkxovs2qAlso had this perfect cutscene the other day (Alice is Pearl and Marina's daughter)03 May 2026 21:54 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mky5hkxovs2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mky3qs6hgs2qThis is so cute03 May 2026 21:23 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mky3qs6hgs2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mky3pizkss2q03 May 2026 21:22 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mky3pizkss2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mkxp34nsc22qSplatoon lore fan who always confuses Octo Valley and Octo Canyon03 May 2026 17:36 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkxp34nsc22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mkmzsi7m5k2vGot a ticket for the tadc finale in a cinema in my city let's goooo29 Apr 2026 11:49 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkmzsi7m5k2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mklktzxs3c2vThese new Raiders screenshots make me excited because those look like larger areas that could be explorable, and they're actually like, non-abstract, realistic environments, which is what I was hoping to see. Alluding to traces of civilization is also super interesting lore-wise: (1/4)28 Apr 2026 21:49 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mklktzxs3c2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mkfnig7aek2tWas going through old stuff and found all the gift cards I used to buy stuff online before I was 18 Where did I even get all that money back then26 Apr 2026 13:20 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkfnig7aek2thttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mkbo72lr722vI started my attempt at rebuilding the street dance beat from Tomodachi but I may have ended up with a totally different vibe and will make something new out of it lol24 Apr 2026 23:22 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkbo72lr722vhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mkbggjyvzk2vomggg chiitan liked my post24 Apr 2026 21:03 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkbggjyvzk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mkbdoa7duc2v24 Apr 2026 20:14 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkbdoa7duc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mkbdbbezk22vThe game made Pearl and Marina's daughter canonically trans I guess24 Apr 2026 20:06 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkbdbbezk22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mkbcuruquc2v24 Apr 2026 19:59 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkbcuruquc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mk72d45z3s2dI'm surprised I haven't seen anyone do this before23 Apr 2026 22:21 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk72d45z3s2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mk4dmtlp5223omg, Pearl and Marina had a child and she's super cute AND they came up with the name Alice by themselves?????22 Apr 2026 20:30 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk4dmtlp5223https://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mk3kod2fes25I'm broke as fuck so I may start logo design commissions soon. I wonder if anyone would be interested. Not related to Raiders btw, I've been broke for a while lol22 Apr 2026 13:03 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk3kod2fes25https://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mk32d6fxcs2kI love how in the Raiders character creator both "styles" have the same haircut by default now so it's even more ambiguous for people to read lol Which is probably the reason for the "speak" button so you can see which is fem and which is masc by their voice22 Apr 2026 08:10 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk32d6fxcs2khttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mjzu35zjms2xAlso, the key art looks so amazing. Splatoon 3D art always looked kinda strange since the high detail models were obviously different from the in-game models, but now they totally nailed how the in-game models look since Splatoon 3. Especially Frye looks so much more accurate now21 Apr 2026 20:46 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjzu35zjms2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mjztazlezk2xRaiders looks really good. I can't lie I'm a little worried because the trailer only showed us what looked like battle gameplay and no exploration and platforming as I would have hoped, but maybe they still have more to show in a dedicated Direct later21 Apr 2026 20:31 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjztazlezk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mjxjza4ky22xAlso, don't ask how this would work but Acht and me got a baby lmao The name is what they came up with, it's kinda cute20 Apr 2026 22:41 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjxjza4ky22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/ardnin.splatoonlore.ink/post/3mjxeycdly22x20 Apr 2026 21:11 +0000at://did:plc:oit5g5jsccz5e55vpeo7zn3q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjxeycdly22x
