Spectrum Kirby

Author's Note: My apologies for not uploading any tributes to the ZX Spectrum's 40th Anniversary and the Kirby franchise's 30th Anniversary. To make up for this, here is a comic where Kirby inhales a ZX Spectrum.

While Kirby's kind comes in several different colors other than pink, there was, however, no such thing as a multi-colored Kirby. That is, until he inhaled a ZX Spectrum keyboard and gains the red, yellow, green and cyan stripes found on the right side of the ZX Spectrum keyboard.

This comic also pays homage to the Brawl in the Family webcomic's gags where Kirby inhales various objects.

Wonder Weapon

On the 13th of April, 2022, Ukraine's Neptune missiles have finally scored its first kill by sinking the Russian Navy's Slava-class cruiser Moscow. For the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Allies, this victory is only the beginning of the turn of the tide. Unfortunately for Ukraine and the Free World, wonder weapons do not matter anymore as time is not on their side because when Germany weaponizes deceitfulness, that's when bad things such as Germany's unforgivable betrayal of Ukraine become a huge nightmare. Yet, the German people are unable to stand up to their country's business leaders and denounce their unethical business practices. This will ultimately lead to the rise of a tyrant worse than the one who masterminded World War 2, and said tyrant can only be terminated along with the warmongering rogue dictators by Jesus Christ himself when he returns. In other words, the only wonder weapon the Allies have is Jesus Christ himself.

#BoycottDisney

It's official. The #BoycottDisney movement has gone on a warpath against all of Disney's unethical business practices. Now all we need to do is to find alternatives that we can buy from. Perhaps support somebody who does not issue copyright takedowns at all and believes that fair use is legal under the First Amendment. If shaming Disney is not enough, then making Disney go under is the only way to save Disney from itself.

So long, Disney, and thanks for all the childhood memories...

Respecting Sakurai's Policies

Masahiro Sakurai stated that Super Smash Bros was designed to be from the very first entry in the series, a celebration of Nintendo's video game history. Non-video game characters are therefore not allowed. But there may be reasons that support Masahiro Sakurai's decision. Reasons related to lore, that is.

You may think Sailor Moon cannot join Smash due to the possibility of a panty shot overdose, but that is not the real reason. The real reason is that Sailor Moon has to face villains so ghastly they're worse than the biggest, baddest villains Nintendo has to offer. What's more, Sailor Moon was revealed to be Princess Serenity, which explains why she does not want to engage in mortal combat against her enemies. Then there's Sakura Kinomoto's magical girl escapades. It turns out that this was because of the dark events of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle chapter 200, where Fei Wong Reed's death seal devoured Princess Sakura, resulting in a series of events leading to Clow Reed having to split into two personalities. There are even claims that Akiho from Cardcaptor Sakura's Clear Card Arc has something to do with Clone Sakura. With all that said, Nintendo decided that Lip the Flower Fairy from Panel de Pon should only be a Mii Swordfighter costume in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and Lip was the closest Nintendo has to a proper magical girl.

At the end of the day, magical girl lore is clearly not compatible with everything Super Smash Bros is all about. Therefore, we should respect Masahiro Sakurai's policies that disallow non-video game characters from taking part in Super Smash Bros. Even Sony's PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale do not allow non-video game characters from taking part in the PlayStation-themed dueling tournament, possibly for the same lore-related reasons. At the end of the day, if licensing issues was not the reason, then it has to be the lore that poses a big problem, because lore plays a huge part in every major franchise, and if the lore is too ghastly, then it is definitely not allowed in dueling tournaments.

An Eulogy for Yesteryear's Internet History

Let's face it. The old Internet is disappearing before our very eyes because our freedom of creativity is being severely restricted. This means putting years of hard work into building up fame and stardom on the Internet from humble beginnings by various means no longer matter if the Big Tech companies do not like you or the content you posted. Of course there are alternatives such as the Internet Archive and Alt-Tech platforms. However, they too are facing huge challenges, from legal issues to the race against time to preserve the past. We are losing the battle to save our way of life and preserve our heritage, but this battle is far from lost because the alternatives are pushing harder to preserve the past for future generations. In other words, the future is going to be like the same dire situation Early Christianity faced all over again.
