Perplexed by Cybersecurity


Given that Cy-Bugs are computer viruses in the Disney movie Wreck-It Ralph, it would make sense for a firing squad to show up for Sergeant Calhoun's wedding with Fix-It Felix Jr. to open fire on any intruder, given the terrible fate of Dr. Brad Scott, which Mayor Gene was unaware of.

Also, given that cyber-security threats are now greater than when Wreck-It Ralph came out, Ralph Breaks The Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 may just have a possibility of dealing with a far bigger cyber-security threat than the Cy-Bugs. So much for being a grumpy mayor who dislikes video game villains, only to turn a blind eye towards not only the Out Of Order sign, but also cyber-security threats such as the Cy-Bugs, Gene.

Shared Anniversary


Author's Note: This was supposed to be my tribute to the 30th Anniversary of the Famicom and SG-1000, but multiple delays mean it will have to be my tribute to the 35th Anniversary of the Famicom and SG-1000 instead.

Was it a coincidence that Sega launched the SG-1000 on the same day Nintendo launched the Famicom? Because these two video game consoles both came out in Japan on the 15th of July, 1983, like Konata just said in the last panel.

These two consoles, however took different paths. The Famicom ended up being more successful than the SG-1000, resulting in the SG-1000 being discontinued when the Master System came out in Japan, while the Famicom continued being in production until 2003, 2 years after Sega went third-party after they discontinued production of the Dreamcast.

Anyway, like Konata said in the second panel of this comic, Happy 35th Anniversary, Famicom and SG-1000.

Cause and Consequence


You are not alone, Mayor Gene. Many video game players, especially myself, dislike video game villains just like you do. However, it would be terrible to be put out of order, especially if mistreating video game villains made then leave in the first place, resulting in the game being put out of order.

To make matters worse, when your game is out of order, and no solution can be found, you either become homeless and at the mercy of permanent death, or you get sucked into a black hole and perish with the unplugged game. Both are terrible fates you would not want to have at all.
