16 bizarre, strange, and utterly tragic Miiverse posts

Public discourse

Abandoned

The post: "My wife left me and took the kids."

One must only look next to the cute drawings of Mario to unearth tragedy.

Not a fan of mom and dad

The post: "this game is fun but i hate my parents"

Nothing says "thanks for buying me a Wii U!" quite like a public announcement of parental hatred.

The obsession is real

The post: "nice water" in 800 variations

Man, this guy really has a thing for H2O.

Metroids don't crawl, bro

The post: "y cant metroid crawl?"

A young child ponders Samus Aran's inability to simply crawl through narrow spaces. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the origin of the phrase.

Girlfriend woes

The post: "hi my name is hunter and my gf just broke up with me"

Hello, Hunter. Welcome to misery.

Wii U finally finds success

The post: "How to Annoy an Xbox/PS4 fanboy: Rub the success of the WiiU IN THEIR FACE!!"

Buddy

The name changer

The post: "I changed my name to Sir Buttkiss because my old name was so embarrassing (my old name was Anthony)"

Jeeze man, give the punchline some breathing room.

Women shouldn't fight

The post: "I don't mean to offend women, but I'm just saying they weren't meant to be warriors or fight men."

Good God, this guy needs some help (and has clearly never heard of UFC ass-kicker Ronda Rousey).

Dad's gone

The post: "miss my dad he died lol... :)"

Not sure if this is a joke, or just a really awkward attempt at expressing sorrow.
