A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live.

"This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario."

The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?"

NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD."

Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version."

PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

post-uni has left me in this weird limbo of feeling like I can't do anything. and instantly getting overwhelmed when I try.
I want to keep making art but I honestly suck at it and uni has sort of left me with a kinda mixed education. it's just hard to work out next steps.

Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star are funny in that they are almost the exact same subgenre (space western in which the main characters are bounty hunters that fail to ever make any money whatsoever) yet they are in other ways completely the opposite genres from each other (noir vs adventure)

This outdated ad is especially weird as it’s for Klonoa… A game that could have sold to both girls and boys if they’d bothered to try.

In Mario Kart 8/Deluxe, 200cc feels much
faster compared to 150cc than 150cc does
compared to 100cc. This is because it actually
is about 38% faster than it should be based
on the ratio between top speed and class
as established by 50cc, 100cc and 150cc.  
If the formula established by the other
engine classes is followed to calculate
the engine class that 200cc should be
based on its top speed, then the result
indicates that the true engine class the
game claims is 200cc is actually 415cc.

If you have ever felt that 200cc in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe is much faster than it should be, your suspicions are correct. Based on the formula followed by the other engine classes, the speed the game pretends is 200cc is actually 415cc instead.

cryptocurrency in 2025 is insane to me because there are rugpulls every other day, more and more every year. you’d think people wouldn’t keep falling for it at a rate more than a baby falls for peek-a-boo

This joke is agelessly impossibly old, but is the glue that holds every dev team together. It communicates the gallows humour and nihilism that has powered the development of every game you ever loved.
