I think this is the best solution for these situations. I have a pair of aeroshokz and they do seem to work pretty well.

I think a crucial component is where I say watching TV passively etc. I use headphones when I am focusing on playing games only.

I love Splatoon but like others here have said, I’m a casual player. Work and life is too busy for me to dive too heavy into it. Just love it’s vibe and gameplay ideas though.

Yeah. I feel like the internet had already decided that they hated it before it came out, that didn’t help things.

My friends and I were actively trying to complete it. But once we got to the second area, the game just refused to allow us to continue. The games would drop one of us every 10-15 mins and it got to the point that it felt like the game was actively trying to make us stop. We decided to give up.

I don’t like the game. I think it’s unfinished. But I do think it could be fixed and it is definitely not worth the vitriol it received.
