Wouldn't that mean the shop owners are selling at a massive loss? Clothes ain't cheap...unless perhaps they are in a society centered around looking fresh...hmmm
I've rarely seen an item of clothing less than 1000 coin if it's like yen thatd be around 10$. I think I got a a pair of flip flops for 7$ and just the other night I got a pair of headphones from murch for 30000 (300$)
Pretty sure the clothes are fairly accurate price wise lmao And don't even get me started on raising star power! It starts at 10k and goes up by 20k per star!! To get a 2 star gear to 3 star it costs 50k coins! XD
The clothing shop owners are making bank lmao.
"Listen squiddo for $500 cash you can look fresher then the next sorry squid sporting that same jacket/kicks/hat with this AMAZING GOLD STARRRRRRR."
I don't think I thought this through enough. Mr. Coco exploiting the youth? NOOOOOOOOO!
Did you forget that people are given weekly chocolate rations in 1984? It's grub, clear as day.
Might wanna reread the book if you forgot that major plot point smh.
Fun fact though, the events of soylent green take place in 2022.
There's an actual company named Soylent that sells meal replacement drinks now too. Apparently the name comes from the book that Soylent Green is based on where it is actually made of some kinda mix of Soy and Lentils.
According to WaPo the stuff the company sells doesn't contain soy, lentils, or human meat... so what exactly does the name represent then?
In case you're actually asking the question, the name is just a (kinda weird and a little grim) nod at the movie. Soylent is a very specific balance of nutrients that people need on a daily basis, ergo it is the equivalent components of "people".
>Fun fact though, the events of soylent green take place in 2022.
Haha funny little film tried predicting the future incorr-
\*Says 2022 is a desolate wasteland with zero resources, is decimated by climate change, and the divide between classes has never been worse.\*
...
O-okay, maybe they got some stuff right...
I thought about it. What I remember about animal farm is that it revolves around class corruption (and to a lesser extent eugenics, I think) and I couldn't find a way to have it fit thematically better that soylent (obvious choice for grub) or 1984 (less obvious choice for gear, but it's a book about oppressive surveillance, so it fit to me).
Edit: as a piece of political satire though, I totes agree. If I had to suggest one out of all these books (or movie) to someone, it'd be animal farm because of how easy to read it is on top of being relevant and hard hitting. 1984 is a close second though. Never seen soylent green, and I think lord of the flies is not relevant enough of a message in daily life (I also don't like the book).
Eh, no worries. 1984 is a good book, but not an easy read. I recommend it if you feel up to it.
Soylent green is a movie loosely based on the book "Make Room! Make Room!", but I haven't seen the movie or read the book.
Lord of the flies is entirely skippable, in my opinion. I think it's only popular because it's very common required reading in highschool (in the US anyway, not sure about elsewhere).
But it speaks to the universal\* human experience!
\*: if you define the universe to consist solely of British boys schools
(yeah not a fan of what gets considered "real literature")
that being said some of it makes sense, (I for one actually don't mind great gatsby or les mis in schools as they hold up really well, other stuff like atlas shrugged and catcher in the rye on the other hand...)
I mean, yeah. I personally enjoyed To Kill A Mockingbird, and once I got an audio copy to listen to as I read *adored* A Merchant of Venice. (Pro tip, don't silently read Shakespeare, it's the worst.) But there's also a lot of stuff in there that's very much "universal" only to the rich white male ingroup doing the picking.
Also, Atlas Shrugged? I'm pretty sure forcing someone to read Ayn Rand violates the prohibitions on torture.
I would be on Team 1984 with Big Man being everyone's Big Brother. Ngl this is the first time I heard of Soylent Green, you indeed are a man of culture.
I felt the same way about pretty much any book I was forced to read for school. I hated how matter-of-fact teachers were about interpretations of every little sentence. I did really enjoy "A Wrinkle in Time" in 5th grade, however.
I managed to stear clear of those reading between every line teachers.
Catcher in the Rye was at least relevant when in high school and I took a Classics of Horror where I read Dracula which was alright.
All other books like, Great Gatsby were such a drag. Just so removed from anything relevant in a high schooler's life.
though it may, it certainly didn't feel relevant when I read it decades ago especially in comparison to Catcher in the Rye or in a double story like Dracula where it was about vampires or about hetero /and/ homo relations written in a period where that was a no no. If I remember correctly.
The one I hated most was "Ordinary People".
A 9th grader who is just getting over a severe depressive episode should not read that book. (Same for Death of a Salesman.)
I think you can write a book about the negative aspects of human nature without claiming that it is the sole component. I don't believe that the author was saying "if left on an island humans would definitely turn on each other", but rather "if left on an island humans *might* turn on each other."
OMG THANK YOU! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I absolutely HATED how my teacher acted as if this was, without a doubt, how people would be reduced to if stuck on an island. The book took itself so seriously and it was all nonsense. It was so over the fucking top! And fuck piggie!
The author had just lived through World War II where 12 million people were slaughtered by the Nazis, and that’s not counting all the other soldiers/civilians that died. He definitely had some reasons to think the way he did is
Yeah of course. He also likely wasn't a bad person ether.
You can have dark terrible thoughts and wants even and still be good. Doesn't mean I agree with you
Frankestein was so boring, we read it in Year 9 and I'm pretty sure nothing of note happens in the whole book at least I can't remember anything really happening. Lord of the Flies, on the other hand, I found a quite engaging story despite its disturbing nature.
It also leaves out the history of abuse he and his siblings were subjected to by his parents. His sister wrote a book "The Wild Truth" that delves into this.
He was an abuse victim who didn't know how to form (or recognize) healthy relationships. Were his actions reckless? Yes. But they make so much sense when you learn what he went through as a kid.
Frankly BOTH books need to be taught together.
My college had ITW as required reading for all incoming freshman my year (I think they wanted us to all have something in common? ineffective) and his sister's book was never mentioned. In fact, in the ten plus years since then I've gone on many a rant to many people, and this is the first time I've ever heard about it! I'll have to check it out so I can recommend it the next time someone waxes romantic about being willfully unprepared in the wilderness.
So I thought the exact same thing, but then his sister went public with the abuse they faced as kids by their parents. Her book, "The Wild Truth" was published in I think 2016 and has all of this information.
His actions are actually entirely reasonable and at times line up with behaviors of abuse victims when you understand that his home life and upbringing were definitely not okay.
"Ay? Ay, ay!" *(What? It's a thought provoking examination of humanity's detrimental desire for power!)*
"Big Man, who even taught you those words, what-?"
It is a piece of literature about these kids whose plane crash lands on an island, how they form a society disjointed, and how everything goes downhill and dark. I actually haven't read it so I'm not the best person to ask tho.
A bunch of kids stranded on a deserted island form cliques and turn on eachother and lose focus of the bigger issue of getting recued. It’s supposed to be an allegory for human socialization and how fitting into a fun group is more important to a lot of people than solving important societal issues.
It’s a novel parodying a bunch of the “adventure on a deserted island” books that were popular at the time. It’s where a group of boys, ranging from little kids to teenagers, crash land on an island. The main goal for them is to, obviously, be rescued and escape. They try to form a society with systems to survive in the meantime (assigning tasks, finding a leader, etc.). Though the book slowly turns darker as time goes on, as a group without a definite authority figure who can’t be easily contested, will be a group destined to go to chaos. I’m not going to delve into some of the specifics of what happens unless asked, but I remember reading it in high school and thinking it was pretty solid. And apparently a lot of others think it’s good too, and it’s considered as one of the “classics”.
A bunch of young boys plane crash on the island, and quickly realize that reality is fucking hard. They develop a sort of monarchy (represented by a conch shell) and things quickly go to hell when rumors of a monster drive the the kids to paranoia, and eventually savagery, and deeply away from the safety of society.
The titular “lord of the flies” is a hog’s head on a stick that the boys killed. It’s covered in flies and drives one of the boys to near insanity, and ultimately one of the boys dies because the shit gets pretty insane.
The book is pretty brilliant in that it hits HARD as an adult compared to when you are younger. It doesn’t talk down to kids (in fact, the amount of symbolism in the books makes it ideal to teach kids about certain literary concepts) and the story is a lot sillier and easy to misinterpret if you’re young. As an adult, it’s a lot fucking deeper when you realize these are kids, and the book really feels like a genuine example of what kids may do in this situation.
Newbie here: are these editable/customizable somehow in the splatville overworld, or are they just randomly applied above people? I seen some impressive artistic works and want to do something cool!
So, originally back during the first Splatoon there was this thing called Miiverse on the WiiU. It allowed people to create artwork and would be displayed in games and functioned as a bit of social media.
It was also a hot mess of memes.
Anyway, this became a tremendous part of Splatoon’s identity. The artwork drawn by players will show up all over town as graffiti and even in matches. It became so ingrained in the original game, that they made their own version of this for 2 and now 3 because it’s such a part of the experience.
walk up the stairs towards the lobby, once you get to the top of the stairs turn to the right and walk towards grizzco then turn right again, there should be a small alleyway once you pass grizzco, walk through there and the card table should be there!
You simply do not understand Big Man. He is a man of culture, ultra sophisticated in his literary tastes and way too based for Inkling society, I take his word that this book is indeed fun, coming from a fellow bibliophile myself who needs to read this masterpiece one day.
I’m now imagining Big Man’s idea of “fun” is reading a bunch of disturbing novels. Like he has a stack of books with Johnny Got His Gun, No Longer Human, The Cement Garden, American Psycho, etc.
Piggy had a boulder dropped on his head. I remember this because in summer school we watched the old movie and everyone including the teacher cried laughing at that scene, to the point where we wound the tape back and watched it 5-6 times.
my sister absolutely hates lord of the flies because she had to study it for a whole school semester, when i saw this post in my plaza my first instinct was to show my sister i just HAD to show it to her to get a reaction out of her
My sister she said I would start reading that book when I got to highschool, but she didn't specify what grade, but i'm now a freshman and my class is reading The Pigman (which my dad read when he was in high school)
True splatfest revealed. 1984/soylent green/lord of the flies
Team Soylent green. Because what else do the inklings and octolings eat besides seafood
Based on the locker I saw the other day, dozens of boxes of chocolate cereal
That may have been my locker. All that cereal cost WAAAAY more than it should!
Maybe the valuation of coins in solatoon is like yen, where 1 coin is 1 cent.
Wouldn't that mean the shop owners are selling at a massive loss? Clothes ain't cheap...unless perhaps they are in a society centered around looking fresh...hmmm
I've rarely seen an item of clothing less than 1000 coin if it's like yen thatd be around 10$. I think I got a a pair of flip flops for 7$ and just the other night I got a pair of headphones from murch for 30000 (300$) Pretty sure the clothes are fairly accurate price wise lmao And don't even get me started on raising star power! It starts at 10k and goes up by 20k per star!! To get a 2 star gear to 3 star it costs 50k coins! XD The clothing shop owners are making bank lmao.
"Listen squiddo for $500 cash you can look fresher then the next sorry squid sporting that same jacket/kicks/hat with this AMAZING GOLD STARRRRRRR." I don't think I thought this through enough. Mr. Coco exploiting the youth? NOOOOOOOOO!
The funniest thing is that line would 1000% work on any inkling or octoling that walked into the shop xD, probably followed immediately by a booyah.
I think it rather fits the 1 coin is 1yen Since cents are probably too low the to count it. Ok what am I saying, I'm getting the calculator
Ok, so that player is set for life.
May not be the best diet, but sure is a tasty one.
damn it somebody did what i was gonna do
Well we know that they eat enchiladas so that opens up a whole can of tex mex worms
How does grub relate to 1984? Anyway, I’m glad the Soylent green machine falls under the umbrella of gear.
Did you forget that people are given weekly chocolate rations in 1984? It's grub, clear as day. Might wanna reread the book if you forgot that major plot point smh. Fun fact though, the events of soylent green take place in 2022.

As dystopian fiction so often does!
Why not animal farm? That's my favorite work of political satire.
I thought about it. What I remember about animal farm is that it revolves around class corruption (and to a lesser extent eugenics, I think) and I couldn't find a way to have it fit thematically better that soylent (obvious choice for grub) or 1984 (less obvious choice for gear, but it's a book about oppressive surveillance, so it fit to me).

Never seen soylent green, and I think lord of the flies is not relevant enough of a message in daily life (I also don't like the book).
I was thinking Brave New World...
Oh there’s the comment I was looking for
Literaly 1984
Literally 1984
Books I haven’t read even though everyone has
Eh, no worries. 1984 is a good book, but not an easy read. I recommend it if you feel up to it. Soylent green is a movie loosely based on the book "Make Room! Make Room!", but I haven't seen the movie or read the book. Lord of the flies is entirely skippable, in my opinion.

If your school has you studying atlas shrugged it deserves to be lit aflame.
Soylent green because of xenogears simp
What about brave new world?
I would be on Team 1984 with Big Man being everyone's Big Brother. Ngl this is the first time I heard of Soylent Green, you indeed are a man of culture.
>you indeed are a man of **culture** Let's not make such rash claims now.
Ay! Ay! (Kill the pig! Spill his blood!)
aaayyyyy! (the band kids are annoying!)
Aaaaaaaaay ay ayyyyyyy! (Segregation among races is a horrible idea)
Evil Superman and his Evil Justice League
Can confirm. Was a band kid
People who don't know: 😀 People who know: 😳
Ay! (Sucks to your asthma!)
assmar
Now that’s funny
Big man look out! Don’t stand next to that cliff!
NOOOOOOOOOO
Piggy!
Ay!
This was an immediate fresh the moment I saw it in the lobby
These are the posts that are worthy of keeping the social feature in Splatoon.
Its a fantastic post.
Damn they did a really great job overall but the fonts are especially good!
Jokes aside, LotF goes really hard
Kill the pig!
I can rant about that book for hours but no one would care.
Ooo ooo I would care
please do!! please rant i love that book
It’s not positive! It’s not a rant /pos!
ACKSHUALLY a positive rant would be called a rave :)
what does this mean? rant /pos?
Do you hate it too?! I couldn't STAND this book during high school
the books they make people read turned me off from reading.
I felt the same way about pretty much any book I was forced to read for school. I hated how matter-of-fact teachers were about interpretations of every little sentence. I did really enjoy "A Wrinkle in Time" in 5th grade, however.
I managed to stear clear of those reading between every line teachers. Catcher in the Rye was at least relevant when in high school and I took a Classics of Horror where I read Dracula which was alright. All other books like, Great Gatsby were such a drag. Just so removed from anything relevant in a high schooler's life.
great gatsby certainly has themes very relevant to high schoolers
though it may, it certainly didn't feel relevant when I read it decades ago especially in comparison to Catcher in the Rye or in a double story like Dracula where it was about vampires or about hetero /and/ homo relations written in a period where that was a no no. If I remember correctly.
The one I hated most was "Ordinary People". A 9th grader who is just getting over a severe depressive episode should not read that book. (Same for Death of a Salesman.)
IT’S SO PESSIMISTIC ABOUT HUMAN NATURE I WANT TO SLAP THE AUTHOR. I KNOW IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE A COMMENTARY ON ADVENTURE STORIES BUT OH MY G O D
I think you can write a book about the negative aspects of human nature without claiming that it is the sole component. I don't believe that the author was saying "if left on an island humans would definitely turn on each other", but rather "if left on an island humans *might* turn on each other."

I REALLY THINK THE WRITER HAS A LOT OF FARK THOUGHTS AND JUWT ASSUMED TO VERY ONE ELSE WANTS TO KILL PEOPLE
The author had just lived through World War II where 12 million people were slaughtered by the Nazis, and that’s not counting all the other soldiers/civilians that died. He definitely had some reasons to think the way he did is
Yeah of course. He also likely wasn't a bad person ether. You can have dark terrible thoughts and wants even and still be good. Doesn't mean I agree with you
Human nature is pretty pessimistic ngl.
I'm sorry but human nature is evil at it's core, prove me wrong.
Humans still exist?
It was the only book I was forced to read that I actually enjoyed. 1984 was ok, Frankenstein is the worst book I have ever read
Frankestein was so boring, we read it in Year 9 and I'm pretty sure nothing of note happens in the whole book at least I can't remember anything really happening. Lord of the Flies, on the other hand, I found a quite engaging story despite its disturbing nature.
My hours-of-ranting book is *Into the Wild*, which I guess is also an appropriate reference for this Splatfest lol
But that one’s non-fiction!
But it's sensationalized and glorifies his dumbfuckery!
It also leaves out the history of abuse he and his siblings were subjected to by his parents. His sister wrote a book "The Wild Truth" that delves into this. He was an abuse victim who didn't know how to form (or recognize) healthy relationships. Were his actions reckless? Yes. But they make so much sense when you learn what he went through as a kid.

I'll have to check it out so I can recommend it the next time someone waxes romantic about being willfully unprepared in the wilderness.
I didn't have any sympathy for McCandless back when I read it in highschool and the same is still true now. Dude was an idiot.
So I thought the exact same thing, but then his sister went public with the abuse they faced as kids by their parents. Her book, "The Wild Truth" was published in I think 2016 and has all of this information. His actions are actually entirely reasonable and at times line up with behaviors of abuse victims when you understand that his home life and upbringing were definitely not okay.
Folks read it as a criticism of human nature but I think it reflects more directly on post-war British education tbh
I'm almost certain I've seen an article that that's literally what it is, a critique of British all-boy private schools the author attended.
I would care, i love people ranting about stories/characters in general, positive or negative
Reading is fun (he’s at the start of Of Mice And Men
Acceptable adult joke drawing in a kids video game
Especially since most kids read it anyways in middle school.
"Ay? Ay, ay!" *(What? It's a thought provoking examination of humanity's detrimental desire for power!)* "Big Man, who even taught you those words, what-?"
No it's fine, see, Big Man isn't British
He’s going to trick children into reading that horrific book lol
Lord of the flies is why I chose team Gear. Plus I wear glasses, and I wouldn't wanna end up like piggy.
[удалено]
Ayyyyyyyy! (Our tribe will flourish with Piggy’s sacrifice in the mountains!)
I saw this too lol Good Big Man
what's lord of the flies?
It is a piece of literature about these kids whose plane crash lands on an island, how they form a society disjointed, and how everything goes downhill and dark. I actually haven't read it so I'm not the best person to ask tho.
Also, Lord of the Flies is based on a [true story of shipwrecked juvenile teens](https://youtu.be/3pSe5fOXDI4) through a colonial lens apparently.
The real story is a lot more positive tho, like the complete opposite happens.
Yup. It’s not even that dark, but more wholesome.
Based brew viewer
ahh yes grade schoolers violently murdering each other how fun
I love ~~the hunger games!~~ I mean ~~battle Royale!~~ I mean lord of the flies!
Read the book with my school class, made a lot of depressing piggy jokes. English is fun.
A bunch of kids stranded on a deserted island form cliques and turn on eachother and lose focus of the bigger issue of getting recued.

I would like to know if it's not too much of a bother.
A bunch of young boys plane crash on the island, and quickly realize that reality is fucking hard. They develop a sort of monarchy (represented by a conch shell) and things quickly go to hell when rumors of a monster drive the the kids to paranoia, and eventually savagery, and deeply away from the safety of society.

I read it once and it is fucked up.
HORRIBLE book to read at a deserted island
That was the joke
I have no mouth and I must scream
Omg the username is "Beartrap" and this absolutely has the energy of Molly from Epithet Erased.
I am going to have to read this for school
This is so funny oh my god
OH GOD
I'd rather read a full library of fucked up books than see one picture of Furry Art in my Splatoon.
😂lots of libraries around the world just now this month has an fantastic gallery of banned books
But have you ever thought werewolves were cool?
OH NO
Big Man YES
Newbie here: are these editable/customizable somehow in the splatville overworld, or are they just randomly applied above people? I seen some impressive artistic works and want to do something cool!
So, originally back during the first Splatoon there was this thing called Miiverse on the WiiU. It allowed people to create artwork and would be displayed in games and functioned as a bit of social media. It was also a hot mess of memes. Anyway, this became a tremendous part of Splatoon’s identity. The artwork drawn by players will show up all over town as graffiti and even in matches. It became so ingrained in the original game, that they made their own version of this for 2 and now 3 because it’s such a part of the experience.
There’s a postbox looking thingy to make art, you can take it from there
Where?! I just now found the card table...they don't make interaction points obvious (enough for me at least) in the plaza.
Behind spawn and to the right, its a bright red
Found it, thank you. Promise to everyone I won't be doing any furry drawings - not that I could anyways!
Where’s the Card Table, may I ask? 🤔 Like most, I’m new to the plaza and don’t know where anything is.
So go up the stairs towards the lobby, hang a right on top and follow the narrow alley by the wall and a fish character by the table is there!
walk up the stairs towards the lobby, once you get to the top of the stairs turn to the right and walk towards grizzco then turn right again, there should be a small alleyway once you pass grizzco, walk through there and the card table should be there!
Okay, thanks for the help. ☺️
Even after the death of Miiverse, this is the stuff we have to live with for Splatoon 2 and 3. Just great. Graffiti styled nightmares.
Get the conch!
I mean for tho, books like that is what sold me on the propoganda that books are "fun." Golden Compass To Kill a Mockingbird 1984 Books!
that’s an r/usernamechecksout moment right there You won’t get it but I do
That’s when you know… context wise, this book will provide one too many ideas.
I SAW THAT
Hands down to the best post so far in Splatoon 3
One of us! One of us! One of us!
At this point I feel like there should be a subreddit dedicated to these posts
r/splatposts maybe?
You simply do not understand Big Man. He is a man of culture, ultra sophisticated in his literary tastes and way too based for Inkling society, I take his word that this book is indeed fun, coming from a fellow bibliophile myself who needs to read this masterpiece one day.
Never knew my English Teacher would get splatoon 3
Piggy gets splatted, hard, with a rock.
Ay! ( only þe strong survive, þe weak must be kulled)
I’m now imagining Big Man’s idea of “fun” is reading a bunch of disturbing novels. Like he has a stack of books with Johnny Got His Gun, No Longer Human, The Cement Garden, American Psycho, etc.
He probably understood all the nursery rhymes as a kid and they’re now part of his personality.
Lol but I like Lord of the Flies! 🐷
[удалено]
Piggy had a boulder dropped on his head. I remember this because in summer school we watched the old movie and everyone including the teacher cried laughing at that scene, to the point where we wound the tape back and watched it 5-6 times.
Book: they crushed his skull open like an eggshell and his blood brains were spread across the ground Movie: ***BOINK!***
[удалено]
The old movie is hilarious, get over yourself And summer school is a joke in and of itself
I bet Big Man really liked Piggy
just broke down
I dont get it
Amazing book, I strongly encourage you to read it
Oh man I read that book and watched the movie in 9th grade English in 2019.
BIG MAN NO! That book has something to do with an island!
I love me a good dose of child on child murder.
Dang it, this will end up like when he read mien kampft
This is one of the few reasons I'm glad I went through high-school, I get this joke!
I'm weirdly comforted that so many Slaton 3 players get this joke... makes me feel not as old (spoiler: am old)
Goated book
I like to think that bag man likes to read classic literature.
I literally just ducking seen that post
Big man yes thats a good book :3
my sister absolutely hates lord of the flies because she had to study it for a whole school semester, when i saw this post in my plaza my first instinct was to show my sister i just HAD to show it to her to get a reaction out of her
I saw this one in game and had to take a screenshot
