That's the latrine. The backpage is porn.
There's another one that's longer that talks about a family member. That is the fake.
He is known for doing this stuff, as per the FOIA section of the wiki. He also leaked Luigi's CV: https://substack.com/home/post/p-152869227 Journalists have the right to protect sources.
This is who posted it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Klippenstein
I'd say you can trust the source here.
Yea, the umlaut is what caught me off guard!! X)
...in a video game.
In Linux, putting a "." before a file/folder name hides it. ;)
“To Nintendo, I'll keep this short, because I do respect the legacy of what you’ve built. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary research, basic plumbing know-how, and a lot of patience. The notebook, if recovered, has some scattered notes and plans that outline the gist of it. My toolkit is pretty locked down because I’ve spent years perfecting my craft in fixing leaks and navigating pipes, so there's likely not much info there. I do apologize for any disruption or shock caused by my actions, but it had to be done. Frankly, these corporate overlords simply had it coming.
A reminder: Nintendo has long been a giant in the gaming industry, but for decades, the reality is that they’ve leveraged their power against not only creators but their own loyal fans. The restrictive policies, the aggressive legal tactics, the artificial scarcity—all these tactics are designed to extract immense profits while stifling innovation and community-driven creativity. It has grown and grown, but as the freedom for creators? No, the reality is, this company has simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to exploit their position because fans and consumers have allowed them to get away with it.
Obviously, the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly, I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have highlighted Nintendo’s tactics—shutting down fan projects, ceasing the production of beloved games without explanation—decades ago, and yet the problems persist. This is no longer an issue of awareness; it is a question of unchecked power. Evidently, I am the first to challenge it with such brutal honesty.”
Hidden Donuts, why are you hiding?
Don't give them the clicks.
