No no it’s good, this is actually better than them making a proper announcement. Community loves this shit.
Quick summary:
Dev changes name, handle, and pfp on twitter. Posts a cryptic message about keeping your eyes closed tomorrow.
Reverse image search of pfp leads to a recipe released April 2nd
Cryptic message appears to be a reference to an Imagine Dragons thing from April 2nd
“Tomorrow” was interpreted as being related to the big switch 2 reveal, launching April 2nd
The name and handle also appear to be references to things having to do with April 2nd
The community is ablaze right now. Without a hint of irony: there is more genuine belief in the game actually coming out this time than there was before the original delay was announced in 2023, back when we had an official release date
I have a hard time accepting the way social media works. The whole chain of logic you just spelled out makes me want to vomit. I don't want to have my strings pulled, my chain yanked, or my goose got. I want to be talked to like I'm a person, and I know it's just going to keep happening less and less and one day it's going to do my head in.
That's pretty dramatic
Is it such a failing? I hope I haven't upset anybody.
