Oh gotcha I understand now.2.9.2022 is February 9th
Sept 2 is a Friday. They don’t do directs on Fridays
I like that attitude!This means nothing but it's September 1st anyway.
Last year's September direct fell on a Friday for certain regions due to timezones, no? America got it on Thursday afternoon, and this would coincide with the 9/1 and 9/2 date.2.9.2022 is February 9th

CorrectLast year's September direct fell on a Friday for certain regions due to timezones, no? America got it on Thursday afternoon, and this would coincide with the 9/1 and 9/2 date.
Not saying that's what's gonna happen, but it does line up.
What will you do if it isn’t September 1st?This means nothing but it's September 1st anyway.
Maybe the real four days was the friends we made along the wayWhen you really think about it aren't directs always four days away?
What will I do? Nothing. I am not the guy who's mental health gets worse when new games are not announced (I seriously read this here).What will you do if it isn’t September 1st?
Go To SleepI'm European and it says "in 4 days" for me as well, which would be Friday as it's currently Monday already for me (3am)
That’s good, I hope it’s earlier than later.What will I do? Nothing. I am not the guy who's mental health gets worse when new games are not announced (I seriously read this here).
Nah it's most likely they edit the metadata on that url Google picks up on the smallest updates. I don't personally think there's a direct next week also.that's definitely Google mistaking February 9 in the US for September 2 in another region
I mean (haven't been up to date on this thread) I'm assuming we're all thinking there's going to be a Direct this month
Next week is PAX and Splatoon
The week after is Tokyo Game Show
Meaning the only free weeks are this coming one and the week of the 21st (unless it's a Mini)
If it's on Thursday, and not this week, it's gonna be the 22ndNah it's most likely they edit the metadata on that url Google picks up on the smallest updates. I don't personally think there's a direct next week also.
PAX and Splatoon 3 are in the week of the 6-8 so can't be thenTokyo Game Show starts september 15, so the Direct could still be on September 6 - 8, this "in 4 days" is just the Google software interpreting February 9 as September 2.
oh wow, I never thought about PAX and the event they're holding. yeah, that week is way too busyPAX and Splatoon 3 are in the week of the 6-8 so can't be then
I'd doubt even that because companies have to make their TGS announcements right before the main eventoh wow, I never thought about PAX and the event they're holding. yeah, that week is way too busy
I still think they'll slip it in right before TGS
Not sure if this is referring to the post I made the other day, or if you mean someone else’s, but I thought I should give some insight. Yes, I became burnt out from tons of speculation. It may seem pathetic that it impacted my mental health.What will I do? Nothing. I am not the guy who's mental health gets worse when new games are not announced (I seriously read this here).
Googled Pax and it’s the 2nd - 5th. Whatever event they have it shouldn’t effect either a September 1st event or a Splatoon week event.oh wow, I never thought about PAX and the event they're holding. yeah, that week is way too busy
I still think they'll slip it in right before TGS
This might actually be something. They're all on August 30th. Look at this account:Four of those 'Unknown Software' maintenance tweets so far..
Damn, that's tough. I was not reffering to your post by any means, not remember it much but the guy basically said that Nintendo was owing us Direct is June and it's unacceptable that they did not have one and so on, basically the real life version of that copypasta. I am very serious of topic of mental health and would never ever made fun of it, if you felt like I touched you in this topic then am deeply sorry.Not sure if this is referring to the post I made the other day, or if you mean someone else’s, but I thought I should give some insight.

I didn’t say this in the post, but I suffer from intense mental health issues on a day-to-day basis that make life very difficult. This may be TMI but since this is all anonymous I don’t see a reason why I shouldn’t give a bit of the story.
Being here with you all has become a release where I can escape the constant mental hell that I suffer through on a day-to-day basis. Daydreaming with you all about Nintendo Directs has become a place of mental refuge where I could feel connected to others and be as nerdy as I want to be without fear of judgment.
It might not make sense to you. Reading this over I know it sounds dumb. But my life has been on a downward spiral and I am in a constantly deep depression since May. I’ve lost my job, my dog, and my girlfriend; most of which I’ve referenced in previous posts. I thought this was a place where I could be honest and share my feelings and truths.
When I became over-reliant, I started to pour my energy into other things. I was proud of this change and felt myself overcoming this obsession with speculation. I shared that here.
Whether you’re referring to my post (which is so far back I don’t know how to link it), or someone else’s, be wary that you don’t know everyone’s struggle or story. What may seem like nothing to you could be very important to someone else.
It’s totally okay. I really appreciate the apology.Damn, that's tough.

I think for a lot of people (especially Lukas) the puzzle is the fun partThis thread is helping to prove a hypothesis I touched upon a couple of weeks ago when I shared the September Direct plans. Knowing the plans doesn't seem to prevent individuals from actively trying to find clues about timing. Knowledge of a presentation taking place isn't enough. There's still a lure to know the date of the presentation early... which even when given simply leads to folks waking up each morning and awaiting a tweet to be made to confirm the day. If said tweet comes later in the day than expected... panic and desperation set in.
In summary: knowing such specifics in advance doesn't offer any relief.
you played us all Nate. I knew the September Direct was fake!!This thread is helping to prove a hypothesis I touched upon a couple of weeks ago when I shared the September Direct plans.

No, if it doesn't happen this week we go rage on Twitter and send Miyamoto angry emailsyou played us all Nate. I knew the September Direct was fake!!
But yeah like Raccoon says, for me as well the speculation and stuff like this is a fun passtime to do for me. I'm not obsessed with the date, if it doesn't happen this week then it doesn't, on to the next one!
So many hints in this post, it’s overwhelming.This thread is helping to prove a hypothesis I touched upon a couple of weeks ago when I shared the September Direct plans.

September 2 isn't in 4 days though.that's definitely Google mistaking February 9 in the US for September 2 in another region
This is exactly the case, yeah.I think for a lot of people (especially Lukas) the puzzle is the fun part
Sentence starts with "This", "This" starts with T, "Thursday" starts with T, SEPTEMBER 1ST DIRECT CONFIRMED!So many hints in this post, it’s overwhelming.
it's monday in most of the worldSeptember 2 isn't in 4 days though.
At least this kills time so we can indulge ourselves into shenanigans and shake off some of the boredom we all have.
Yeah (i have no idea what you mean)it being after splatoon 3 would be beneficial
it's my fuel broI think for a lot of people (especially Lukas) the puzzle is the fun part
Does Google tend to tell you when something is happening in a time zone other than the one in which you access the page?it's monday in most of the world
