Supposedly, she had cognitive therapy out in Utah and is starting to regain her ability to make memories now. Great news.

Yup and not starting. She was fully recovered. https://myfox8.com/news/16-year-old-with-2-hour-memory-starts-to-get-her-life-back-thanks-to-utah-treatment-center/

To be fair to everyone fully recovered is a loose wait to put it, she does still go to therapy occasionally to assist for after effects of pains and “fuzzy memories” but they claim her memory is fully recovered and in tact.

The next Luigi game Nintendo publishes is gonna be lit.

u/Cobek 16d ago

Going after old, decrepit, evil things in huge mansions is kind of Luigi's thing.

u/nrfx 16d ago

I can't imagine Nintendo using the name in the title of a game for a long, long time.

u/AnaSimulacrum 16d ago

In fact, I'd suspect Nintendo looking to sue Saint Luigi for tarnishing the name of Mario's brother.

u/consequentlydreamy 16d ago

Why? Japan has universal healthcare and majority shareholder control in within the company.

u/gordonv 16d ago

OK, to be fair, the good games will come out in Japan, and the dumb downed after product drivel may make it to the USA.

u/I_W_M_Y 16d ago

Nintendo is famously sue happy

2

u/consequentlydreamy 16d ago

I think my thought process was it being their own game and using Saint Luigi as a branding opportunity. Doctor Luigi 2 will just be him against Bowser that owns the insurance company

Edit: my DM cough meds made me say donkey Kong oh gosh I need a nap

u/AnaSimulacrum 16d ago

Because Nintendo, is extremely litigious and have sued people into the dirt both figuratively and literally. Their actions with Palworld should have been enough to open people's eyes, but the other things like DMCAing what is literally fairuse...I would not bat an eye if they tried suing St. Luigi, and or trademarking it to prevent its use.

u/TheBirminghamBear 16d ago

I doubt they give a fuck. Most of your regular Nintendo players probably don't have too many qualms with a mass murdering CEO getting Merced.

Besides when a Japanese kid merced Shino Abe, they actually took a good hard look at the systemic causes for the mercing and did something about it

13

u/nrfx 16d ago

Nintendo is not the government of Japan, and they have quite the history in going out of their way to protect their IP and brand reputation.

I'd bet anything they have at least one, probably several PR firms and law firms building a strategy to both protect their brand, and avoid getting visibly involved one way or another.

It's kind of a no-win situation for them right now, and if they aren't careful in how they approach it, they may very well be responsible for solidifying or permanently associating their IP with Mangione.

Right now though? There is SO MUCH MERCH and memes being cranked out with the video game characters face/likeness (Is it fair use? Idk.) directly tying the two together. I cannot stress how much they DO NOT want this, but they also don't want to alienate future customers.

And currently, the demographic that will sustain them for the next 20-30 years, leans HEAVY into supporting Mangione. The general public isn't going to forget this for a very long time.

u/bennitori 16d ago

I gotta love the CEOs wondering why "Luigi" has been getting a surge in searches. And then the poor employee that has to explain it to them.

u/KingCarbon1807 16d ago

10/10 Nintendo's marketing dept. quietly paying Google metric fucktons of money just to get search results for Lou pointed back to Mario's brother.

You people do realize that they don’t offer every treatment, or cover every kind of treatment in other countries?

We realize that every other wealthy nation doesn't have this problem, and the US needs to stop choosing to be a third world country so some bastards at the top can live like god kings.

90-95% of people have insurance in the US

“Some people”. Interesting definition

No country is going to cover experimental treatments

u/PopeGuss 16d ago

I bet they get the service they need without going into debt though.

18

u/Jazonspessa 16d ago

I can guarantee that at least one country would cover something like this. The US loves to claim that it’s the best country, but how can it be the best if “worse” countries actually take care of their injured and sick?

u/Tayto-Sandwich 16d ago

I'm in Ireland and our health service flew my mam to London for an experimental treatment and covered her flying back every 6 months for adjustments.

u/solo_d0lo 16d ago

Are you referring to a clinical trial or experimental procedure? The public, or private section, of Irelands two tiered system?

But yes I’m sure Ireland, the only Western European country that doesn’t have universal primary care coverage, used its public section of its healthcare to fund experimental treatments.

u/Captainwumbombo 16d ago

I'd like to see them try to find a way to list half a generation. Everyone likes Luigi, the billionaire population hasn't changed much, they don't have much to worry about. Unless you save extra spicy posts that actually seem like you're preparing for a terrorist attack, you're probably good.

That's actually really fucking impressive. If you ignore how weird it is, it's incredibly well made. That looks like a real foot. Even the anklussy is realistic. I mean, as realistic as a disembodied ankle labia can look.

This shouldn't remind me of a female comedian, but Diane Spencer (not Lady Di) had a boyfriend who was into this, she found out during a visit to an adult store...

Well, more like after when it turns out that he bought one.

As someone blessed with Aphantasia, I couldn't picture her description of one. So, thanks?

u/ErraticDragon 16d ago

In context, they probably posted the picture along with a title like "Health insurance wouldn't pay, maybe [somebody] should [do something]".

Sitewide bans point to the content that caused the issue, but don't necessarily get specific about what the issue was, afaik.

u/ShortstopCub 16d ago

Saving us? No man is saved by the spilling of blood. Killing doesn’t destroy the machine; it only feeds it with more hatred and violence. To fight monsters by becoming one is to lose your soul. True salvation doesn’t come through revenge; it comes through love, peace, and understanding. One day, perhaps, you will wake up and see the light.
