If you smell toast, you might be having a stroke... a stroke of luck that is. It’s toast time.

YAAAY!

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

Grats, Mooseman.

This is a level of "WE ARE SO BACK" that is almost never seen.

A good way to leave an impression upon dying is to paint the white snow as strawberries in the summertime.

"Q34: Do you have additional notes for Square Enix?" [paraphrased] I've heard an inclining interest in Square Enix to incorporate generative AI into key parts of development and QA. I, and a large portion of your consumer base, are emphatically against this idea, most notably in regards to generating visual and musical assets. A lot of Final Fantasy's fans are artists, and I myself have a degree in graphic design. The amount of turmoil that generative AI has brought onto creatives, both in freelance and corporate positions, can't be understated. It is a legally dubious technology that leeches off of the talent of people who make a living out of their passion. Implementing this technology into your structure would not only be a moral betrayal to your fans and consumers, but a cowardly betrayal of your company's foundational values: inspiring fantasy through worlds, characters, music, and art formed from the minds and hands of human beings. I'm not interested in seeing, hearing, or playing anything an unfeeling LLM thinks what their idea of an average person would like; I'm interested in what humans want to make.

Doing my part (this is the text I wrote in Q34)

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

I counted 240, probably two-thirds of which I've beaten.

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'
