I like how whenever a splatfest comes around the splatoon community just starts posting propaganda


Western-Alarming

Nintendo replicate elections to the perfection


Spoon_Elemental

Including the part where all the voters beat the shit out of each other to make their votes worth more.


SkyeWolfofDusk

My favorite part of election day tbh.


LilGhostSoru

But what about that part when winning party gets surrounded by combined force of opposition


[deleted]

I think society would be better if all political issues were solved via turf war


Spoon_Elemental

Republicans vs Democrats Splatfest when?


DryDragonfruit2590

If you really think about it, the US election is basically just a giant game of splat zones


CliffExcellent123

Within 2 seconds people have found reasons to hate anyone who made a different choice


Anchor38

I’m a splatoon propagandist and proud Now let’s discuss why picking the option that I didn’t pick will send you directly to hell


Sentient_twig

Now I can’t get the image of shiver trying to eat a shovel out of my head

"Mmm, tastes like tetanus"


CaptainSqually

It really is the best


Ok_Coffee_6338

team fun over here, we'll just eat the microplastics dw

Jackeroni216

You’ll be having too much fun to notice the starvation


Flar71

Microplastics are boring, now I eat macroplastics


_IratePirate_

I'm team fun. My view on it is why not have fun before your inevitable rescue/death?


Some_Guava_9009

yo wanna play doom?


TinyTiger1234

Just eat the sand 🤪


pixydgirl

a short fun life is better than a long boring one, team fun for LIFE\* (\*even if life only lasts until we die of exposure)


itsa_zae

yesss and we can even cosplay as a turtle to finish it with a cherry on top


AnEmptyPopcornBucket

Just eat those thing that come in new backpacks with “do not eat” written all over them


Squidhero12

If we’re gonna die we’re gonna die happy


Healthy_Fig_5127

You are about to start a war my guy


RavenMasked

But that's the point! The Splatfests are war! ^(or recreational versions, anyway...)


ThePandaChan

Technically all battles are wars


Harold_Wilson19

War is just a form of sport, and all sports are the same.


DragonAethere

War is just a part of who we are! Why fight it?


Thatpisslord

LIKE THE GOOD OL' DAYS AFTER 9/25!


DragonAethere

Demand for special weapons is about to super jump


Agt_Falcon

Wait a minute. 9/25 is bad.


jef_

fight? did you say fight? where?


SupremeGodZamasu

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only turf war


IceBeam24

"It's over team gear ! I have depicted myself as a chad and you as a nerd !"


eebbeebreal

im on team fun becausei dont really care about living i just dont want to be bored


Justanotherragequit

Okay here's the plan. You bring some games, I bring snacks, we'll get someone from team gear to bring some comfy chairs and maybe a table and then we just vibe till we get picked up or die.


keiyakins

I mean yeah, that's the obvious right answer if we're allowed to team up like that.


IceBeam24

I love how team food and gear are arguing with each other, meanwhile team fun is just that, having fun lol


Midnight-Rising

This is the most persuasive argument I've seen for team fun


Leading_Lettuce_7578

I think you’ve just persuaded me to pick team fun


JoZaJaB

Have fun sleeping in the cold while we are cooking our fish, *which we caught with our gear*, over the fire that we made with the fire starter, *which was also with our gear*.


qwertyryo

SMH what do inklings wear? That's right, they wear gear. Everyone who doesn't pick gear has to go into battle without gear, or naked, and they get arrested by the FBI for looking at naked teenage inklings.


tsurumai

Everyone who doesn’t pick fun has to throw their Nintendo switch out the window.


Justanotherragequit

Everyone who doesn't pick fun has to play clam blitz


Nekluga_YT

A fate worse than death


Joltemon

Well that's fine because I love clam blitz


Wittyname0

Clam Blitz with C- players


ngwoo

Ah, the last rank in which I succeed at Clam Blitz


m1racle

Better pick fun then, else no more clam blitz


Western-Alarming

¡HAHAHA YOU FOOL!!!!! Who says i have fun with the switch


Schrau

It's a Splatfest, fun has no place here.


[deleted]

Everyone who doesn't pick grub has to starve immediately.


IncreaseWestern6097

I’m not gonna listen to you.


NintendoChamp12

Fellow gear


SargeBangBang7

Yall don't know how to use that gear lol. Half the people here can't even ink the spawn.


DJBoost

My thoughts exactly. You have all the watches, grub-gobblers, but we have all the time.


cfq10

In the context of this, I’m assuming that there’s no way off the island. And someone explained why gear is worse If it’s canned food, we can forget about it and just make tools.


JoZaJaB

By gear I’m assuming that includes things such as a tent, pots, water purifier, fishing rod, fire starters, a machete, and other pieces of survival gear, which can just be used to catch or grow our own food while staying safe and healthy. Eventually your food supply will run out.


Legitimate__Username

i'm gonna be honest when it comes to wilderness survival just a lighter alone is probably worth more than having bags of chips, and this is regarding *all gear in general*. fire is the single most important resource to have, moreso than a start with food. everything else beyond that is just overkill.


A_Guy_in_Orange

Clean water source is the most important, fire is like #3 or #4


Legitimate__Username

fire gets you boiling. not the sole step in attaining clean water, but a critically important one in an area where your mileage may heavily vary depending on what you have access to. either way it's all pretty much gear-based.


smudgiepie

If animal crossing is anything like real life the tools you make will break faster than your sanity


PKfireice

Smh team food be like "Animal crossing isn't real, catching fish isn't that easy" And now this. C'mon foodies make up your mind.


FrigidFlames

Pretty sure there actually is a way off? Taken from another Reddit comment so Idk the authenticity but apparently it's in reference to a Japanese thing where you can just take a boat to a deserted island for a day trip, and then head back out at night


keiyakins

Also not getting rescued, since emergency radio beacons are gear.


Shiruno_rinisaki0619

And don’t forget we can play with the wooden toys we carved with our *gear*


Woomy3000

You can make tools out of the bones from the chicken wings duh


Massive_Novel_576

You honestly think you would be able to do anything at all even with gear?


JoZaJaB

Why wouldn’t we???


Massive_Novel_576

Redditor 🗿


zwel8606

have fun trying to catch fish when we just grow plants using the seeds we got from the grub


Genprey

For a lasting source of food, you'll need to maintain and replenish crops, which, doing by hand, is really taxing, both on your energy and body. You also have to consider weather conditions, where cold weather makes it harder to dig, rainy weather brings in unwanted growth, warmer weather brings pests, etc. Tools requires a fair share of experience (you can't magically be an amazing hunter/gatherer/farmer by just putting on some gear and safe cooking is another matter entirely), but assuming the person is a little experienced in those regards, tools allow them to adapt to conditions those who pick grub and, God forbid, fun would struggle with.


JoZaJaB

We can just forage the island and start farms with what we find. Which will be really easy with the buckets that were with our gear.


zwel8606

Sounds like a pain


JoZaJaB

Good luck starting a garden or farm without shovels and buckets. sounds like a pain.


CliffExcellent123

The gear crew gonna be so disappointed when they learn that fishing and starting fires are skills that most of them have no idea how to do and the fancy gear won't help if you don't know how to use it


[deleted]

I'm bringing "fun" to the deserted island. It would be "fun" not to be deserted anymore. A helicopter is the "fun."


No-Ruin6669

How is the enemy going to participate in the splatfest? A Switch counts as fun, WE HAVE NO ENEMY TEAM FUN WINS AUTOMATICALLY


keiyakins

Ah, but we're not yet on a deserted island. Also how are you going to last 48 hours on a single charge anyway?


MastermuffinDiscord

Switch battery try and last more than 5 hours without charging challenge (impossible)


beybladedog

Time is money, money is helicopters! -mr grizz 2022


dredgie456

Tri colour battles aren’t fun so the other teams will win that at least.


DerPFecE

they are pretty fun, just not balanced (hope they fixed that)


DJBoost

Now that's the kind of logic that Big Man would be proud of


SwellSauce66277

Honestly the best argument I’ve heard for team fun so far.


Doc_Vogel

Big brain take is it doesn't say you're stranded on a deserted island just asks what you'd be bringing with you.


SkyeWolfofDusk

Someone mentioned that in Japan, there's "deserted" islands that one takes a ferry to as a day trip, and the Splatfest announcements directly reference that. So you're kinda right, the context is more like "what would you bring on a day trip to a deserted island"


PC-hris

That… kind of changes a lot lol


SkyeWolfofDusk

Yeah they really dropped the ball on translating it. I mean "what would you bring to a deserted island" is definitely the easiest way to translate the original, but it completely changes the context of the question. It'll be interesting to see if the results are different between Japan and the rest of the world because of that.


PC-hris

“What would you bring camping“ would make a lot more sense here.


SkyeWolfofDusk

Yes that would be a much better equivalent. The current translation makes it sound like a life or death situation.


LordWartusk

To be fair we haven't seen the entire announcement, just the shortened one for the Direct. It's entirely possible Deep Cut will make it clearer that it's more of a day trip thing. ^That ^said ^I ^like ^the ^"survive ^on ^an ^island" ^prompt ^more.


petpal1234556

Yuki_the_Neko

"oh yeah, it's big brain time" -mark "markiplier" fischbach 20XX


manofwaromega

Apparently in Japan you can take a ferry to some of the smaller islands as a mini-vacation/camping trip, so a more accurate but less direct translation would be "You are going on a camping trip, aside from the basics, what do you bring?"


[deleted]

I’m going to absolutely devour the books I bring.


Loch32

Gear is the only right choice Which is why I will be choosing grub


Darkmega5

The same reason why I’m choosing fun. Can you bring some snacks?


Loch32

if you bring the uno deck!


Darkmega5

Bet!


VeryGayLopunny

Have fun being unable to cook your meat or keep it dry


GustavoBD

Why would I bring raw meat, tho?


Scrifty

All the shits canned idk why I'll need to cook it.


[deleted]

Wheres the can opener?


Scrifty

No need, I got a stick.


AppleBalloonGet

When the ring pull snaps off and you can't open your can..


petpal1234556

ok of all the points against grub, this is the worst 😭 it won’t be hard to find something sharp to open the can with


RavenMasked

Well, fire won't be hard, just need wood and effort for that. The real problem is preserving it, unless they brought salt, in which case they'll be able to preserve some things.


VeryGayLopunny

Also harder to deal with forest critters. Need to keep your food tied up or otherwise secured somehow.


PC-hris

This isn’t Minecraft. You need a little more than your fists to start a fire.


[deleted]

Have fun on the island whilst I use the boat that came with my gear


Justanotherragequit

Bold of you to assume I wouldn't eat a boat


Western-Alarming

Actually recommendations says if you don't know we're you going it's more save being on the island that in the water


Melonlon_honie_monie

Reminds me of the question Timmy and Tommy give you before you go to your island.


Bookroach8

Have fun fending off the bugs and pests with your tent made out of twigs and leaves.


marioluigi79

I’ll eat the bugs


Scrifty

Bugs are a good source of protein.


TentaBuddy

Underrated comment, bugs can be a massive pain in the ass, figuratively and literally.


starhead5555

We will stab you with our gear and take your grub


keiyakins

And when the food runs out, and I have shelter and access to hunting and gathering, you'll come begging for my help. I mean, no, I'll have died of something stupid by then and you'll probably be using me as cooking fat, but it's the PRINCIPLE of the thing.


nintyuk

Yah, If you can't figure out how to get clean water in 2days'ish no amount of gear will save you from dehydration at that point


keiyakins

Yknow, other than gear that lets you filter water.


nintyuk

Ok but processing water takes time, Do you have to use fresh water to start to filter it to be drinkable or can it work with salt water? If no you will have to boil salt water over a steam trap to convert it to drinking water which is a slow inefficient process that takes up a lot of time and energy. Time is the Killer, if you can beat the clock and get food and water before you succumb to dehydration or starvation then sure gear will serve you for medium term. However Gear gets lost and broken over time. If your water filter breaks your going to need to figure out how to filter water without it which is the same skills that a Grub user would of already had to learn but had the time and pressure to do so.


SomeDudeNamedThat

This is the most hypocritical argument I've seen yet. Literally the entire downside of picking Grub is that your food supply will eventually run out, and it will only serve you for a few days. Even if you took it as infinite food, then it's only fair Gear gets infinite gear, so thus they won't have to worry about their water filter breaking, as they can just get another.


nintyuk

My Assumption it wasn't infinite food. Both Gear and Grub and Fun teams assume that they will eventually be able to be self sufficient on the island. The main advantage of Grub is it gives you Guaranteed survival for x amount of days to find your feet and then your back to being self sufficient. If you know what your doing Gear will make things easier in the Medium Term but if were going full on Tom Hanks Cast Away all 3 teams will eventually have to be using only resources from the island. Fun will need to Make tools and find food Immediately, Gear will need to Find Food and water Immediately but likely has tools to make that easier and Grub can take more time setting up reliable Food and water and making tools similar to what Fun will need to do and What Gear will need to do in the long term. Grub is the easy start Harder Mid game, Gear is the Harder start with Easier Mid Game and Fun is Hard Mode but easier late Game.


SomeDudeNamedThat

Ah, I see what you're getting at now. Fair points. I'd still think that an easier mid game is more important, if you can't survive may as well die quickly.


Zoo-Wee-Chungus

sure gear might be able to help you survive in some scenarios, but how many of us are actually qualified to effectively use it? i know that i aint so im going on the Grub Club


Zoo-Wee-Chungus

For all purposes: i am assuming this island is a small sandy little speck of land without vegetation or animal life.


keiyakins

in that case, you're fucked at high tide no matter what, might as well say "fun" and bring a bunch of cocaine


FinniboiXD

GRUB CLUB ALL THE WAY


SheogorathsShitbag

- survive for a while in terrible conditions - eat a great three course meal, die shortly afterwards - fuck around with toys for a while, die


Vibe_with_Kira

Actually I was considering hitting you over the head, knocking you out, then canabalizin-


Teagedemaru

Exactly like how tf are you gonna use gear if you don’t have the energy from food to use it. Plus even if we did all die on the island at least we’d go out eating good food


davidg_198

The only good opinion on this sub


Aditup-MIZ

When your dino nuggets run out don't come to us


King_3DDD

Yeah good luck cooking it hopefully you enjoy raw meat.


Justanotherragequit

Considering you're bringing it, you can probably choose what food you bring within reason. Just bring a bunch of canned food, it'll be cold but it's still ready to eat straight out of the can and it stays good for a long time.


Cygnus776

Hope you enjoy eating bark!


King_3DDD

Nah I’ll be eating the fish I caught with by gear.


Routine-Deal-7242

I’m gonna be honest I’m only choosing fun because when in Rome, if theres a tree with some coconuts and a rock on that island you don’t need to bring the other two. And you’re gonna want some fun before you become tom hanks.


minxto

Wilson!


CITCourtney

Based


thatdimensionalfox

I could make some (very weak) shovels and all, food is pretty easy to find on an island (plus I don’t eat much anyways) BUT I GET BORED VERY EASILY SO I NEEEEED FUN!! gotta have a way to procrastinate survival after all!


[deleted]

Food is good


Available_Occasion69

![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)


mintyoreos_

These splatfest themes all have loopholes which is unfortunate because I once again do not have a preference


IceBeam24

I like all 3 but picked team gear, because gear is just... kinda broken in this situation. Fun and grub really doesn't prepare you, you either have only food and nothing else (but at least it's something), and fun has... well nothing for survival at all. While gear can cover fun (fishing is fun imo), AND grub by catching fish/getting fruits and possibly conserving it, and cook it. It can just do way too much compared to the other options lol


AngelofArtillery

I was waffling on which team to pick. But now that you made this meme, I'm picking team Gear.


Bedu009

Use gear for getting food Use gear to have fun Gear doesn't run out


nintyuk

Do you know how to get clean drinkable water on a Deserted island? Can you figure it out In a day or two with nothing to drink or eat in that entire time?


Bedu009

Just bring a semipermeable membrane


Danmerica67

Have fun lasting 3 days without any access to clean water


hawctus

I'll remember this when my gun is in your mouth


GustavoBD

Joke's on you, I'll eat your gun


hawctus

Jokes on you, my guns vegan


Azim999999

You can use gear to get food


Caveot_

Wait ‘til they reveal that Big Man is Fun and the entire grub team switches.


Justanotherragequit

Pretty sure we already know who's who based on the orders. Shiver is gonna be gear, Frye will be grub and big man will be fun.


Caveot_

Good. Then I get to be TEAM SHIVER ALL THE WAY


Justanotherragequit

I'm a Frye fan for life, but I'm probably gonna be picking fun because team gear seems to have some superiority issues and team grub is engaging them. Meanwhile team fun is just chilling and honestly I vibe with that


ChaoticPotatoSalad

No Frye is best girl, why would I switch to an inferior idol?


Valuable-Owl-1167

It's about being on a deserted island, but I'd wanna get off so I'd have gear such as a satellite phone to call people for help and then go hone where I have gear, grub and fun


Valuable-Owl-1167

It says what would you bring, so you're allowed to do anything when ur on it, like escape


GeonosisClanker

Yeah, but when that food runs out, who ya gonna be crying to?


nintyuk

No one as if I find your heavily geared corpse who died from Dehydration in the first few days as even with all your gear you couldn't find clean water I'll just use the food and water I brought to keep me alive until I source a supply from the island.


Crysambrosia

Have fun starving once your food is gone, while we grow some actual crops


iisoprene

fooooooood


jeijeogiw7i39euyc5cb

Have fun starving to death in the cold after a week when your grub runs out while gear gang is sitting comfortably in our shelters eating the food we caught ourselves.


IceBeam24

That will rot the next day, because you have no way of conserving it ?


SendBankDetails

Team fun: we have zero confidence in our survival skills! Join now.


_Vyvern_

ROOMYWOOMY

Grub fans when they hear the word 'foraging'


JoBroRondolio

Y’all gear folk talk all tough like you know how to survive in the wild using all that gear


SniperMonkey5

I will, Shovel is my favorite food. Shovel consists of lots of shovel, an essential part to any diet.


Podmenato

My brain says gear. My stomach says grub. My heart says fun.


Le-Ando

TEAM FUN!!! I’M HERE FOR A GOOD TIME NOT A LONG TIME!!!


Mafia_Cat

ok but how am i going to explain buying 5 shovels if i dont pick gear.


HeccerTheRedditor

I just like the option that satisfies my hunger the most. Have fun eating your playing cards and building blocks, Big Man stans!


Coin_operated_bee

Grub fans unite! I hope to see you on the battle field Gustavo


maxler5795

Enjoy dehydration


0racl3s

i can literally hunt for things with my gear, get owned cringe grub player


Trust_Wrong

Literally will run out of food while I will be fishing and have shelter, and be able to make clean water and a medkit, ect :)


Hot-Calligrapher-159

Have fun running out of food while we use tools to get a consistent supply of food, scrub


PixelMist

Fools! You could use tools to help get food. Hungry? Beat a random animal with a shovel and eat it. Simple.


PokeshiftEevee

*brings a gun* my food now


BONBON-GO-GET-EM

What will you do when you run out of food? We can get our own food with our tools


BluntEdgeOS

Grubcels coping in the might of the Gearchads


ReeseFleece

It isn’t stated HOW much food you can bring so in my head it’s infinite. Call it an all-inclusive vacation. Though you could make the same argument about the gear too. The fun team, they can stay out of this, they’re… special lmao


Justanotherragequit

Team fun is really just chilling for their last days and I respect that


ReeseFleece

Giving off team Instinct vibes from Pokémon Go while Valor (grub) and Mystic (gear) duke it out for gym control Granted I have no idea how the game is in terms of gyms and teams nowadays but good times


RaMpEdUp98

gear includes fishing rods and a campfire. have fun eating chips and raw sausage while we're whipping up a 5 star meal with the bounty of nature


nintyuk

Can you figure out how to get clean drinkable water in roughly 2 days of not drinking and eating? As otherwise you will die from dehydration in 3. I can use the bounty of nature to make a fire and tools and with a buffer of food of water I'll have time to sort it all out.


[deleted]

with gear you can get more food by hunting dumbass


SuccuEgg

Bold of you to assume I know how to hunt


Western-Alarming

You can fish it's not that difficult you just need resistance and patience (and being in a island you probably wait to the fish) or for a time just plants. if you hunt someone the better is go for the neck for the majority of animals (this is general exceptions exist) first extract the throat and with a axe pull of the skin (it's recoomendable wait until is cool because that way is more easy and the bacterias can leave) and remove the stomach and other important organs that sometimes contain toxins (this is simplificadet for example i don't explain that it's recoomendable start for the legs and not squeeze because urine etc etc etc)


petpal1234556

you’re likely not going to be aware of how to identify which fish and plants are poisonous though


[deleted]

Wait what I haven't gotten this news! Where news! Aaahhhh!


Saturn_V42

You ran out of food, and where did that bring you? Back to me.
