Japanese X user says mother submerged his ¥360,000 gaming PC and Switch 2 in a bathtub

A post on X by a Japanese user identified as Yoru (@wuthering_enbu) drew wide attention after he said his mother submerged his gaming PC and Nintendo Switch 2 in a bathtub. According to his account, she concluded that he had no friends at university and blamed his gaming habits, shouting that it was "because you do nothing but play games." He said the gaming PC was worth ¥360,000 and that both devices were left in water for at least 50 minutes. The post reportedly surpassed 5.4 million views and received about 50,000 likes in less than a day. In replies, the user said neither device had any water resistance and that he believed both were already broken, though he had not tried powering them on at the time. Other users advised him not to turn on the PC and to let it dry for about a month. He later said he would follow that advice, while adding that the Switch 2 was likely beyond recovery. He also said his data had already been backed up to an external hard drive in August, and that he "probably" pays around ¥2,000 per month for a Windows cloud service. The user later clarified that having "no friends" referred only to his current university. He said he does have female friends and had friends in secondary school and at a previously completed university. The report noted that the claim remains unverified: the original post included no photos, and there was no third-party confirmation.
