Internet Explorer's Demise

In 3 months' time, the web browser that we like to dislike will go end of support. It's a shame that Internet Explorer has fallen from dominance. It used to be the dominant web browser. But then came cybersecurity issues, forcing Internet users to search for alternatives. And Microsoft Edge was often said to be the successor to Internet Explorer, but it inherited most of Internet Explorer's flaws to the point the only thing Microsoft Edge is good for is downloading other web browsers.

However, we must remember that Internet Explorer paved the way for the rise of more effective browsers, so we must respect Internet Explorer and its successor Microsoft Edge.

Here is a video of Internet Explorer if the browser was an anime character:

Update: As of the 15th of June, 2022, Internet Explorer has been officially discontinued, and will now redirect to Microsoft Edge on several Windows 10 versions. On a related note, check out this comic about Internet Explorer's discontinuation.

Stomp The Jerk 2

Characters stomping Sephiroth on his back, from left to right, starting with the top row:

Row 1: Kazuya Mishima (Tekken), Jin Kazama (Tekken), Akira Yuki (Virtua Fighter).

Row 2: Ryo Sakazaki (The King of Fighters), Yuko (Valis), Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis).

It's time to give Sephiroth a humiliation conga he will never forget as punishment for all his villainy, just like how Gary Oak was given a humiliation conga for bullying Ash Ketchum, and justice will be delivered my way.

If there is anything Sephiroth will regret, it would be running afoul of the Mishima Clan and the curse they have been synonymous with throughout the history of the Tekken franchise. Sephiroth will be as good as dead just like Kazuya's father Heihachi Mishima because while Kazuya perished at the hands of Heihachi before, G Corporation resurrected Kazuya, and he came back stronger than before. This proved crucial in Kazuya's final showdown with Heihachi in Tekken 7, where Kazuya finally defeated (and killed) Heihachi.

If there is anybody who will get Kazuya dead and ultimately end the curse of the Mishima Clan, it will be Kazuya's son Jin Kazama. This hero is determined to eliminate the biggest, baddest villains, even if it means starting a global war. Therefore, no villain, not even a serial killer like Sephiroth, is safe from Jin Kazama and his Iron Fist of Justice.

If there is any reason for Sega to be angry with Square Enix, it's because Square Enix's allegiance to Sony contributed to Sega's exit from hardware production. For all we know, Jenova could have been colluding with a malevolent purple polygonal head who seeks to destroy the entire PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale roster and become the sole mascot of PlayStation as payback for being rejected by Ken Kutaragi. That's why Virtua Fighter's Akira Yuki is stomping Sephiroth. Talk about payback for Sega being kicked out of hardware production by Sony, and Square Enix was largely to blame for Sega's exit.

Remember when SNK and Square Enix had a copyright dispute? Well, SNK can vent their anger on Square Enix by having Ryo Sakazaki, the leader of the Art of Fighting Team from The King of Fighters series, stomp on Sephiroth.

As for Yuko and Wynn, these two obscure characters get to vent their anger on Sephiroth, just like how they vented their anger on Gary Oak in the previous stomping comic, and all in the name of justice.

If you want to know why the shirtless Sephiroth is being stomped in this comic is because this is a reference to Sephiroth being in that alternate costume when he got slashed to death by Cloud's Omnislash at the end of Final Fantasy VII.

Stomp The Jerk

Characters stomping Gary Oak on his back, from left to right, starting with the top row:

Row 1: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Sakura Kinomoto (Star Dress) (Cardcaptor Sakura), Suchie-Pai (Suchie-Pai).

Row 2: Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis), Volcana (Ultra Vortek), Yuko (Valis).

I do not care if Gary Oak was the son of Pallet Town's mayor, or the fact that this bully was named after Super Mario Bros creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Nintendo is mistreating their customers and classifying some of them as cybercriminals. In retaliation, I decided to draw obscure characters' shoes stomping Gary Oak's back as payback for Nintendo's crackdowns on so-called acts of counterfeiting and intellectual property piracy, and for all the tormenting the arrogant bully did to millions of Pokemon fans worldwide through his bullying of Ash Ketchum. All the characters that are stomping the arrogant bully are more respectable characters because they either fight for justice or just simply dislike Gary Oak because he tormented millions of Pokemon fans worldwide, including myself. In fact, the characters that are stomping the bully are either obscure or semi-obscure characters that deserve more respect from us, especially Ultra Vortek's Volcana. Give some love for Atari characters, especially the obscure ones.

If Nintendo does not deliver any justice for Ash Ketchum, the #BoycottNintendo movement will grow even bigger, and Nintendo is definitely not ready for the biggest boycotts that are yet to come.

300

We did it, readers. Neo Retro Union made it to 300 comics, and its author would like to thank the readers for crossing another milestone despite difficult times.

Yes, the movie "300" is a great movie, despite several historical inaccuracies. It brought a glorious chapter in Greek History to life, and raised awareness about said part of Greek History. That's why this comic pays a minor homage to the famous "This Is Sparta!" quote from the "300" movie.

End of the Free World

Let's face it. The nightmare scenario that was foretold by the prophecies of the Holy Bible is already happening before our very eyes. The Russo-Ukrainian War was just the very beginning, and this happened amid a pandemic. Therefore, it is safe to say that the Four Horsemen of the Book of Revelation have gone into maximum overdrive. For all we know, we could witness the real end of democracy within our lifetime. Yet, we must remain assured that all of this and the dreadful Great Tribulation will lead to the Day of the Lord and the return of Jesus. In other words, the End Times have already begun. We just don't even know it.

Nintendo Switch 5th Anniversary Special Letter

Can you believe that the Nintendo Switch has been around for five years? Some people expected it to fail like the Wii U or the Virtual Boy or the Game Boy Micro, or even expect it to become Nintendo's equivalent of the Sega Dreamcast. But look where the Nintendo Switch is currently right now sales wise. It has successfully overtaken the NES, the SNES, the N64, and even the Wii as the best-selling Nintendo home console of all time.

Unfortunately, because of Nintendo's arrogance, they have made their customers angry. The copyright takedowns being due to their zero tolerance against intellectual property piracy policy seems understandable as copyright infringement has been weaponized by organized crime. However, the closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops have made the people who want to boycott Nintendo strengthen their resolve to press on with their boycott of Nintendo's products. Even worse is that Nintendo has not fixed the Joy-Con Drift issue, which is making the customer dissatisfaction problem worse.

With all that said, if we all want to boycott Nintendo, maybe consider finding alternatives like Linux or the Steam Deck. If we vote with our wallets, we can force Nintendo to humble themselves and teach them the error of their ways.
