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."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. 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."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

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

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

my orange cat gently nipping my ankle, but there's water going everywhere

thinkin about that time my cat bit me with a mouthful of water

someone stole the cat.

no one has seen him for 6 days at this point :/

why do people have to be so fucking weird man.....

if you're gonna speak up about your data being accessed without your permission (github training ai on your chats) you should probably reflect a bit harder and think about where else this may have happened lol

thanks to AI our slow and humiliating national suicide will be punctuated by visual media that is so good even a dog could jack off to it

trying to sit down and play games modded is so weirdly frustrating
unless you’re playing a decade old game with hyper established mod communities, enjoy random periodic crashes that you can’t do anything about since it’s either a hardware issue or mod order issue

cannot wait until i get a proper pc

oh to be a cat living in a hardware store with no responsibilities

31/ anyone else feeling the same way? am i crazy for thinking it was just so much nonsense?

30/ season 2 could've been the actual ending and i feel plenty of people would've been satisfied with just that. but the more and more i watched both parts it just felt like a soulless cash grab

29/ but instead it felt like they were constantly writing themselves into corners and then trying to get out of it but then creating new issues on top of new issues.

28/ but it still deserved to be more closely adapted. so many of the changes were just outright nonsense, why was it necessary to kill the baby chick? when an anime diverts from the manga it usually wraps around in a way that makes those changes make sense

27/ to be fair the second half of the manga isn’t perfect either, the pacing gets messy and some arcs move too fast, understanding that the final fight scene took soooooo long to finish and release was rough as a fan at the time

26/ instead the anime uses the word mixed, which i feel is a little too on the nose for what they're trying to represent, it lacks that normal animal tinge that most things gravitate towards

25/ even small wording choices show this shift, the manga often uses the word “hybrid” for characters like melon, which could be a mistranslation, but fits overall much better into the theming of the show

24/ when the anime sidelines that dynamic, the ending starts to feel kind of hollow, especially with how they refused to adapt the beast complex chapters showing their marriage and life after the manga ended

23/ legoshi and haru’s relationship is what drives basically everything. the final arc of the manga is literally about their relationship becoming more complicated as they grow individually from each other

22/ focusing on melon ends up taking attention away from what was basically constantly being thrown in our face the whole season, the promise of legoshi and haru's relationship being seen as legitimate

21/ the show spends a lot of time trying to soften melon’s ending and give him a more peaceful resolution, which is just fucking stupid in my book

20/ the biggest issue though is how the anime handles the ending. so there will be spoilers after this

19/ the writing around her isn’t perfect but the idea matters. in the anime she’s basically reduced to a quick marvel slop easter egg that barely affects anything, why even bring it up at all if she's just gonna be on a poster

18/ kyuu basically forces legoshi to confront the fear he still has about his relationship with haru and about himself as a predator. i know the haha funny stand reference thing was dumb but i still felt like it was necessary

17/ another weird change is how kyuu is handled. in the manga she’s introduced kinda poorly and abruptly, but she still plays an important role in legoshi’s development

16/ but even that moment feels incomplete. dom is confirmed to be gay in the manga and it would’ve taken one line or two to acknowledge that in the anime, but again they skipped it

15/ there’s a longer scene where legoshi catches up with dom from the drama club, which i actually liked. a lot of cherryton students disappear in the manga’s second half

14/ to be fair the anime does improve a few small things. some side characters get extra scenes which helps them feel a bit more present. characters like juno and bill basically get no resolutions in the manga

13/ without that context melon feels like a weaker antagonist in the anime. the manga version works because his background ties directly into the identity themes of the story. his monologues about parents fall incredibly flat when we have little to no context on how his parents mistreated him

12/ at the same time they cut important manga material. melon’s backstory is a big example. his relationship with his mother was controversia, but a necessary inclusion that netflix should not have censored

11/ one really strange change is adding a completely new character that doesn’t exist in the manga. i don't want to spoil since it's still new, but they use this character to shift parts of the ending which just makes the story feel more disconnected

10/ because there’s still so much story left, the pacing immediately starts feeling rushed. scenes get shortened, entire parts of arcs disappear, and some changes feel unnecessary
