At The Mercy Of Tribulation

Even Mr Krabs and Patrick know that the Great Tribulation will be a very depressing time that is drawing near because they are going to perish during the Day of the Lord just like the sea creatures that died in the trumpet and bowl judgments.

According to the Trumpet magazine, the Western Hemisphere will come under the tyranny of the Abomination of Desolation that is prophesied to burn Jerusalem to the ground while the Eastern Hemisphere will be under the iron grip of rogue dictators that despise democracy. This means South Korea and Taiwan will probably be conquered by autocratic warmongers during the terrible three and a half years of the Great Tribulation. The worst part, however, is when the Abomination of Desolation and the rogue dictators fight against each other before turning their weapons on Christ's Second Coming in a desperate last-ditch attempt to thwart God's Plan to take back the Earth, because if Christ does not cut short the Great Tribulation, no flesh will be saved alive. In other words, this Earth is not God's World until Christ returns.

Angry Sakura, Happy Sakura

Blame Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle for making Masahiro Sakurai and Nintendo disallow characters who did not originate from video games.

You do know that Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura is ineligible for Nintendo's Super Smash Bros, but I do wish she was eligible. After all, she made a cameo in the Pokemon TV series, and she also had her own edition Game Boy Color.

Then again, due to the events of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle being responsible for Sakura Kinomoto's magical girl escapades, it would be better for Sakura Kinomoto to stay out of the Super Smash Bros series because Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle is far more confusing than Kingdom Hearts. And let's not get started on Fei Wong Reed's Death Seal...

Digital Footprint Erasure

What if the legacies we leave behind on the World Wide Web were not designed to withstand the test of time? That is sadly the case with GeoCities and MySpace, and possibly Facebook and Blogspot.

Back in the glory days of GeoCities, Blogspot, WordPress, MySpace, Facebook and too many others to count, Internet privacy was not a serious issue. But those days are long gone, and netizens are resorting to various means to take back their privacy, even if it means erasing their Internet legacies. After all, cybercrimes are on the rise, and large data breaches pose a severe threat. That could explain why Google came up with the crazy idea of purging inactive Google Accounts.

If there is anything that will survive the end of this cruel Age, It will be the Word of God. At the end of the day, Internet legacies are temporary, but the Word of God is forever.

Great Swedish Fighter Jets that did not fight in a war

Sweden. A great country from Northern Europe known for Ikea, Volvo, Scania, Minecraft, and tasty meatballs. It was also a Great Power in military terms. From Vikings and Caroleans to army personnel armed with Carl Gustaf m/45 submachine guns, Sweden made its mark on military history, and is one of the countries featured in Daisenryaku. But the days of Swedish military might may have been long gone, although aircraft manufacturer Saab continues to manufacture Gripen jet fighters for various customers.

Speaking of fighter jets made by Saab, the Lansen, Draken and Viggen did not see any combat action throughout their operational service in the Swedish Air Force, or in the Draken's case, any air force that operates them, namely Denmark, Finland and Austria. Maybe it's because Soviet Russia's Ministry of Defence had almost no interest in conquering Europe, which is actually a good thing given what is happening in Ukraine right now...

Despite having seen no action in a war zone, the Lansen's infamous safety record may have made this Swedish jet fighter a worthy opponent to the F-104 Starfighter in terms of having a bad safety record of plane crashes that were due to accidents. In fact, air accidents account for the loss of a third of all Lansens built in its production history. But we shouldn't talk about the dubious safety record of the Starfighter and the Lansen.

The Draken had more operators than the Lansen or Viggen, and there was a proposal to sell export versions of the aircraft to the Republic of Singapore Air Force. But it was unsuccessful, though. However, the Draken did see operational service in the air forces of Denmark, Finland and Austria, with the Austrian Drakens being retired in 2005.

The Viggen was known for the blocked export attempt to India. The reason the United States blocked the proposed export of the Viggen to India was because India could secretly share Western military secrets with Soviet Russia. This resulted in the Indian Air Force purchasing the SEPECAT Jaguar instead.

Because of Soviet Russia's lack of interest in conquering Europe during the Cold War, as well as Swedish military equipment rarely getting exported, many of Sweden's military hardware did not get to fire a shot in anger. But in military-themed video games such as War Thunder, the Lansens, Drakens and Viggens that did not get to fight in a real war do get to open fire on enemies. Guess staying neutral isn't all that great after all...

Good Advice from the Lake Panzer 3

In a world that had been a battleground between God and the Devilish One for nearly 6000 years, neutrality is not an option. In fact, neutrality will perish during the Great Tribulation, which will last 42 months before the end of this cruel Age of man's misrule over the Earth.

For Switzerland, renouncing neutrality will be a very difficult decision. But when the Great Tribulation begins, there will be no room for neutrality. This means Switzerland will not be neutral when the Great Tribulation begins. In other words, when this cruel Age ends, there will be no more neutrality because God will rule the Earth with a rod of iron while the Devilish One is locked up in the Bottomless Pit for 1000 years.

Good Advice from the Lake Panzer 2

Even the Lake Panzer knows that communists hate Walt Disney for the purge he carried out.

When Walt Disney fired half of his workforce for being leftists in 1947, we would like to think communists would have taken the polite hint about Walt's purge. The humiliation that the leftists had to suffer was so unforgivable that they hate Walt Disney for what he did to them.

Now the leftists are running Disney, and Walt would be unduly upset if he was alive today...

Stab The Jerk 4

If Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, and Game Freak does not punish Professor Oak's grandsons Blue and Gary for all the wrongs they did to Red and Ash, then I will have to punish both of them myself. Especially when Gary did not get any comeuppance by the time Ash's Journey ended.

You may think stabbing arrogant jerks dead for humiliating intellectually disabled protagonists would be too morbid, but giving such people a brutal comeuppance would have been my kind of justice. That's why Blue and Gary are being stabbed to death with Mithril Longswords, Adamant Longswords and Rune Longswords from Old School Runescape.

Then again, a comic by Sam Carr that used to be on DeviantArt before he deactivated his account featuring Ash having regrets over the death of his original nemesis Gary proves that Ash is pathetic. How can he feel sorry for the person who bullied him after said bully was slain in front of him by those who demand justice?

Perhaps the only true winners from Gary's death will be those who want justice for mentally ill illiterates. At the end of the day, the leftists did win after all...

Moral Defeat

We have heard about moral victory, where the loser gets praised for standing up for their values. But almost nobody has heard about moral defeat. A good example of a moral defeat would be the Winter War, where Soviet Russia did win that conflict eventually, but Finland won the moral victory that got the praise from Western countries, including Germany.

Speaking of moral victories and moral defeats, with the official conclusion of Ash Ketchum's journey, any arrogant jerk who has wronged the born loser who became Pokemon World Champion might have just been given a moral defeat that they refuse to acknowledge despite not getting any comeuppance whatsoever the moment Ash comes to his realization that the only way to become a Pokemon Master is to befriend all the Pokemon.

The concept of moral defeat only became more popular when a meme featuring Wario in his losing pose from Mario Party 8 about winning at unknown costs was posted on the Internet. Since then, moral defeats have complemented moral victories.

Now imagine the moral defeats the rogue dictators will have when they conquer the renegade provinces that we call South Korea and Taiwan. While such rogue dictators are terrifying right now, their biggest nemesis will be the Abomination of Desolation that is prophesied to raze Jerusalem to rubble and devour the Earth, because they will have to confront it during the Day of the Lord. However, the Abomination of Desolation and the rogue dictators will team up to fight against the King of Kings. The end result will be the Beast and the False Prophet thrown into the Lake of Hellfire, while the remaining tyrants and their legions get obliterated. As for those who had been slaughtered or taken prisoner by these tyrannical dictators, their moral victory will be greatly rewarded by the King of Kings because the surviving prisoners chose to repent while in prison.

Wisdom from a Lake Panzer

If Pokemon fans knew that Ritchie's Japanese name was Hiroshi, and he was named after Hiroshi Yamauchi, we would have found out why Ritchie did not get any comeuppance for all the wrongs he did to Ash.

But what if it turns out Andross, the main villain of the Star Fox series, was remodeled after Hiroshi Yamauchi? According to Takaya Imamura, he said that Andross was the boss. In addition to finding out Ritchie was named after Hiroshi Yamauchi, if Pokemon fans find out Andross was remodeled after Hiroshi Yamauchi, they will go ballistic and scream for Ritchie's head on a pike.

Then again, with the death of Hiroshi Yamauchi, giving Ritchie a severe comeuppance would be a huge insult to a dead man who was prominent when he was alive. Unfortunately, those who want justice for an intellectually disabled protagonist do not want to listen because we are now living in the times when people with below average intelligence can become leaders without any legitimate qualifications whatsoever. In other words, we are going to be like lions who are being led by donkeys when the next Great War breaks out.

3 Cheers for 500 Comics!

Ladies and gentlemen, we made it to 500 comics. Although there are webcomics that have already achieved that milestone, Neo Retro Union has finally joined that exclusive club. The author would like to thank the readers for motivating him to reach that incredible milestone. By the way, there is a flag with the number 500 on top of the cheesecake in this comic.

Lasagna types that exist

If you like lasagna, maybe you should go to a lasagna party and try out several types of lasagna such as ravioli lasagna, mushroom lasagna, and potato lasagna. All of them exist, and they all taste great.

Swimming Pool Matriarch Visual Gag Variations 4

Once again, it's time for more wisdom from the Matriarch of the Swimming Pool.

Sephiroth's parents did say mean things to Cloud. Jenova does not speak. But when she did, she called Cloud "a puppet". Professor Hojo, the evil genius who happens to be Sephiroth's father, called Cloud "the Failure".

There are no traces of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale in the PS5 built-in freeware Astro's Playroom. This also includes the complete absence of Polygon Man from the game. Instead, the final boss was the PS1 Tech Demo T-Rex, who just happens to have no game of his own before Astro's Playroom. Maybe PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will get a Definitive Remaster one day, and hopefully, the Astro's Playroom stage will be included, with the PS1 Tech Demo T-Rex included as a stage hazard.

In Resident Evil 2, Dr William Birkin seeks to implant the G virus into his daughter Sherry Birkin. For that, the heroes had to kill him. As a result, Dr Birkin perished a mutated monster. But what made him so unlikeable was his obsession with implanting the G virus into his daughter. This means Dr William Birkin is a worse father than Tekken's Heihachi Mishima.

The art style of the SNES launch title F-Zero was reminiscent of superhero comic books. In fact, Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch would fit perfectly in any comic featuring onomatopoeia.
