So my gf and I traded in our base PS5, which I'd had since launch, and a bunch of games so we could upgrade to the PS5 Pro. However, after we finished the trade-in, the guy was going to order one for us online to be shipped to our house, but they were sold out, and they were-

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

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?"

I had a dream that Sega added Power Rangers to Crossworlds and everyone was freaking out about how cool it was and started mass quitting Fortnite and there was a tweet where someone said "Am I the only one who still likes Fortnite?" and everyone got really mad at them

I'm glad someone finally said it, Free Roam isn't pointless just because there isn't some greater reward or accomplishment to work towards It's fun to zoom around a huge world with no obligations (besides some optional collectathon elements), and if you agree, isn't that valuable in its own right?

In a recent video youtuber Arlo talks about Mario Kart World again. Being extrinsically motivated he says all the activities in free roaming are pointless and therefore there is nothing to do. He concludes that just driving around an open space is not a game. But we have to ask ourselves – why not?
