I finally own the Splatoon 2 & 3 art books! Long ago I saw them at Kinokuniya and didn’t buy them, and kind of regretted it. This last holiday, I saw them in the store again and was about to buy them but Mariko said that she could order them for about half the price from Japan. Sure enough, they were only 2,000 yen each, vs $45 US. It just took a few weeks to arrive, but I am very happy! The art is so cool. I love the Splatoon aesthetic so much!

My new favorite weapon in Splatoon 3 is the Tri-Stringer and Inkline Tri-Stringer. I find it so fun to play a backline support weapon! And with the Toxic Mist sub-weapon, it’s really satisfying to shut down the enemy’s forward progress. I hope my team appreciates it. The kill count may not be very high, but it’s a decent inker and effective way crowd control weapon to help get the win. Plus I think it looks pretty cool.

My Splatoon splatfest t-shirt arrived! This splatfest’s theme is “Legend of Zelda” to celebrate the release of “Tears of the Kingdom”. I chose Team Wisdom (Zelda), and now have the official shirt. I am matching my squidling now!

I think it’s cool that the real shirt and in-game shirts are exactly the same, including the Squidforce brand logo. It’s awesome!
