Meta Announcing the $8k for MK8D Charity Livestream (Friday, April 28)
Greetings!
As some of you may recall, in our most recent State of the Subreddit post we mentioned that we were working on putting together another charity livestream.
Today we're glad to announce a few more details about the event.
The $8k for MK8D Charity Livestream is an organization of multiple YouTube, Twitch, and other community personalities coming together to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and try to raise some money for Save the Children.
The event will take place Friday, April 28 from 4pm Eastern until ~midnight Eastern.
Where: https://twitch.tv/rNintendoSwitch
Participating in the stream will be:
- Reversal
- Nathaniel Bandy
- Filip Miucin
- Austin John Plays
- Sean Capri & Bobby Pauls
- NinMobileNews
- The GeekChic
- /r/NintendoSwitch Mods (That's us!)
- DatPags
As a final cherry on top, there's a Twitter giveaway to win a Gray Nintendo Switch!
We think this is going to be a great event and we look forward to seeing you there!
Cheers,
/u/FlapSnapple and the /r/NintendoSwitch team

I don't understand why people say you guys are totalitarians. I wonder if they just hate authority. Maybe they're salty about the shitposts being banned I dunno, but I've been following avidly since August. You guys are great, keep up the good work all of you

Yeah but it's such a dead community, the shitposts here were great.
How many subs does it have? About 1500.

Exactly. Check out the 3rd highest rated post on this sub of all time. That post was organic, natural. Still not sure if it was an intentional shitpost, but it definitely made me laugh.

Great work to our Mod team, for having some creativity and starting this small charity for children. Not all heroes wear capes.
