the man sitting next to Miyamoto in the first gif is wiggling his tongue in a really gross way

The second gif is my reaction to everyone commenting on the tongue action in the first gif

I didn't realize he was that old! I thought 60 tops. He'll probably be retiring soon :( Actually surprised he hasn't already at that age.

I thank him for further fueling my addiction. Happy cake day!!
(I keep hoping I bump into him one day whenever I'm there. Cuthbert would be cool, too.)

Happy birthday and thanks for the fun!

I saw Miyamoto being interviewed once. He was so much shorter than I imagined.

I do hope he secretly does some diabolical stuff behind closed doors with all his money. He deserves to enjoy his success.

I remember there being a version of the first gif but he's doing the middle finger instead, loll.

Happy Birthday King.

A true genius. The industry wouldn't be the same without his contributions. Long live Miyamoto!

We need a rule here that any thread that starts with someones name is preceded with "(Not Dead)". My heart can't take it.

When I made the thread my intrusive thoughts told me to make the title:

"Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of beloved series' Mario and Zelda, has passed 70 years of age today"

Happy birthday to the dude!

He'll likely be retiring in the next few years, he's well earned it though, truly a visionary in games.

As much as I love Kojima, Ueda, or Miyazaki he is still the GOAT. Happy birthday King!
