Zako (雑魚) Standard
What's a zakostandard?
雑魚 - Japanese term for rough fish (fish considered undesirable in fishing contexts). In recent years, it's come to also mean weak or common enemies in video games, or just in general.
"Zakostandard" was the internal filename for the Marching Andante from Splatoon 3, but when it was leaked my friends and I assumed it was the Swarming Languendo. I love that little beast and the mouthfeel of the filename, so that's the name I decided to use for the webbed site.
Hey! I'm Con; you might know me from other places as clannfearrunt, 紺, winged-eggers... or maybe even shieldbird or "congitune"? Or maybe you don't.
I've wanted my own place to put my various Things for a while now, so here we are! I'm planning to have a more traditional blog section, but a big part of the site is going to be making my art and projects a nice home. This'll definitely be forever a work in progress! I'm also trying to make as many of the pages as I can in both English and Japanese. You can click on the button at the top of a page to switch languages, if it's available.
My main revolving interests are Kirby, Splatoon, and Elder Scrolls. I have other interests, but nothing has taken hold of years of my creative energy as hose three have! Other than media I love bugs, and I enjoy an activity that could be loosely described as "gardening". Hoping to figure out a nice way to document all of these here!
