Swimming Pool Matriarch Visual Gag Variations 7

Author's Note: Can you believe that it has been several months since the last time I posted a Matriarch of the Swimming Pool Visual Gag Variations comic? Maybe time constraints do have a very serious effect on comic production after all...

I'm very sure Sofia the First from Disney's Sofia the First is secretly a Blaster Master fangirl because the vehicle driven by Jason in the Sunsoft NES game Blaster Master was named Sophia the Third.

Remember Sakura Kinomoto's Water Jester costume from Episode 3 of Cardcaptor Sakura? This battle costume is iconic because it appeared in both the anime and the manga. Given that the main part of Sakura's Water Jester costume had to be a water-resistant dress, it's possible that the core part of the battle costume is a swimsuit.

The default female Mii and Guest F are twin sisters because their faces are totally identical. The only difference is that the default female Mii wears a red shirt while Guest F wears a pink shirt.

Given that Mario likes Italian food, this mushroom eater would definitely love lasagna, meaning Garfield is not alone.

Starting from the London 2012 edition of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, female characters get to wear gymnastics leotards that double as swimming costumes. Rosalina is playable in the gymnastics events of the Rio 2016 edition of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. However, Rosalina does not appear in the swimming events, meaning the leotard that she wears in the gymnastics events did not go for a swim at all.

Swimming in a leotard sounds like an absurd idea since leotards are not designed to go swimming. However, all of that changed when Destira designed leotards that can double as swimsuits. Therefore, Sakura Kinomoto's Water Jester leotard possibly being a swimsuit, as well as the leotards worn by the female characters doubling as swimsuits in the swimming events of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series, makes sense now.

The End of DarkScape

Author's Note: This comic was made in response to the announcement made by Jagex on 29 February 2016 regarding the closure of DarkScape on 28 March 2016. DarkScape is no longer available as of 28 March 2016.

The Rabbid is screaming "DAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!" over the closure of the DarkScape servers because he enjoyed going on killing sprees in DarkScape, and now this open world Player Vs Player mode is shutting down due to lack of interest, which made him very upset.

The last panel in this comic is based on the chorus of "It's the End of the World as We Know It". It talks about the end of DarkScape, and it mentioned Deadman Mode, which was possibly the reason why DarkScape lost popularity.

Open World Massacre

Author's Note: This comic was originally conceived to commemorate the launch of DarkScape and Deadman Mode. DarkScape is no longer active as of 28 March 2016.

Have you ever wished for an open world Player Vs Player experience where everyone is at war with everyone else? Well, RuneScape used to have two versions of that kind of Player Vs Player experience. The modern version received DarkScape, which sadly, ceased operations on 28 March 2016 due to lack of popularity, while Old School RuneScape received the more popular Deadman Mode, which had several tournaments since its inception, with Deadman: Armageddon being the most recent one.

While DarkScape and Deadman Mode have their differences, they both have guards that attack players that have skulls above their heads.

Maybe the real reason DarkScape died was because it lost popularity to Deadman Mode, which allows you to get a bank key to carry out bank raids by killing opponents in order to steal more loot from other players, including loot from defeated opponents.

If Awesome Possum was in Deadman Mode, he would have been a major target for player killers because he is one of the most disliked characters in video game history. That's why he is shown getting struck by a Rune Javelin in this comic.

The Rabbid wielding two Steel Longswords is yelling "DAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!" because he is about to start a killing spree.

8-Bit Phenomenon

Can we all agree that the Famicom and the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) are huge phenomena that still continue to capture our hearts even after four decades?

More Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Colours

Another comic about Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con colours? Looks like I really am increasing hype for the Nintendo Switch 2...

A Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) edition of the Nintendo Switch 2 sounds like a great idea, so why not have a pair of Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons that come in the two shades of purple found on the North American SNES controller with the A, B, X and Y buttons being coloured red, yellow, blue and green respectively as a homage to the Super Famicom and PAL region SNES controllers?

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons that come in any country's national colours would be nothing new because there was a limited edition blue and yellow Game Boy Pocket that was only available in Sweden, so why not have a pair of orange Joy-Cons with the stripes of the Dutch flag in the middle for the Netherlands and a Spanish flag pair of Joy-Cons for Spain?

Appetizing Appetizers

A roast turkey drumstick can be both an appetizer as well as part of the main course. Also, mixed fruit juice made from a combination of green apple juice and green grape juice exists. This mixed fruit juice goes well with appetizers such as potato wedges.

Differently Coloured Diamonds

Did you know that diamonds come in different colors? In fact, RuneScape, MapleStory, Minecraft and the Microsoft Puzzle Collection's Jewel Chase had to use diamonds that are of a different color so that people can identify which game the diamond came from.

The Canard Fighters of 2000 and Beyond

Currently, there are three types of canard fighter jets in active service with any country's air force. All of them are of European origin, and all of them are in the Daisenryaku series of video games. They are the British-German-Italian-Spanish Eurofighter Typhoon, the French Rafale and the Swedish Gripen.

The Eurofighter Typhoon was the third British fighter jet developed in conjunction with other countries. The other two being the SEPECAT Jaguar (UK/France) and the Panavia Tornado (UK/Germany/Italy). It saw no combat service until the Libyan Civil War of 2011.

The Dassault Rafale was originally conceived to complement the Mirage 2000, which is why these two fighter jets are a common sight during Bastille Day. Like the Eurofighter Typhoon, the Rafale did not see combat until the Libyan Civil War of 2011.

The Saab JAS 39 Gripen was originally conceived to be the Saab 37 Viggen's successor. Like the Viggen, the Gripen is a delta wing fighter jet with canards. Unlike the Eurofighter or the Rafale, the Gripen has yet to see any combat whatsoever because none of the Gripen's operators are currently involved in any hostilities for now.

The Disappointing Lack of Justice

The lack of harmony between the upper class and the lower class in Japanese animation and comics has been a serious issue. We have seen this in Dragon Ball Z, where Vegeta the Prince of the Saiyans has often looked down on the lowly Son Goku. This recurring problem also surfaced in Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. To make matters worse, when it's the lower class getting bullied by the upper class, nobody stands up for the victims of such bullying. This could explain why the late Takeshi Shudo wanted Pokemon to have a depressing series finale, where the entire Pokemon series turned out to be the dying dream of a mentally ill Ash Ketchum. Do you know why? Because Japanese society rarely believes in the good name of justice. That is why bullying has been one of the biggest problems in Japanese animation (Sailor Moon author Naoko Takeuchi was a bullying victim).

This disappointing lack of justice could be the reason some people have all but given up on Japanese animation and comics. Such people have decided to give up because they believe in the good name of justice, and they were left disappointed. Disillusionment is nothing new, but the lack of justice in Japanese animation and comics has made such disillusionment even more justifiable.

Same Sprite, Different Colour Pattern

Palette swapping has been a mainstay in video game design since Pac-Man. It has been a tried and tested method that has successfully bypassed hardware limitations during the 8- and 16-bit era of video game design, and it is true to this day.

Did you know that the Arianne Skirt and the Split Skirt use the same item sprite as the Armine Skirt? While these Magician skirts have different color pattern designs to distinguish one from the other, all of them are merely different versions of the same item sprite (The Arianne Skirt has two different pattern designs). Coming up with different variations of just about anything using different colors and pattern designs to bypass game design limitations is a recurring theme in the production of MMORPGs such as MapleStory and RuneScape. This made deadlines easier to meet as far as video game design is concerned.

Resurrected To A Disappointing Truth

If you want to ever get upset over evildoers not getting any comeuppance when they were still alive because they died of natural causes, remember that they will be resurrected during the Great White Throne Judgment. They will be disappointed upon finding out that they are not burning in the Lake of Fire, and that the Devilish One has deceived them all along about being tortured in Hellfire for their misdeeds. All of them will be subjected to a humiliating re-education program during the Great White Throne Judgment. Those that fail after that 100-year long re-education program will definitely get an automatic ticket to the Lake of Fire, and nobody wants an automatic ticket to the Lake of Fire...

Disgraced Disney

It's official. The 2025 live-action remake of Snow White is dead on arrival. The people who worked on the original 1937 Snow White film are already rolling in their graves over this abomination.

Here is a list of the people who are rolling in their graves right now:

Walt Disney

David Hand

Otis Harlan

Eddie Collins

Lucille La Verne

Scotty Mattraw

George Magrill

Moroni Olsen

Roy Atwell

Pinto Colvig

Billy Gilbert

Stuart Buchanan

Harry Stockwell

James MacDonald

Marion Darlington

Purv Pullen

Adriana Caselotti

With all that said, Disney is going to lose a lot of income, and it's all the fault of Rachel Zegler and Bob Iger. At least Nickelodeon came up with a SpongeBob SquarePants episode called "Snow Yellow". It's a vastly superior parody, so go and watch this SpongeBob SquarePants episode instead.

Charles Schulz's Real Self

Many Peanuts readers are familiar with Charlie Brown having a lot of misfortune. However, in 2015, it was revealed that Charlie Brown and Peanuts author Charles M Schulz were one and the same. This was officially confirmed by Charles Schulz's son Craig Schulz, who revealed that Charlie Brown was Charles Schulz's real self, while Snoopy was what the Peanuts author wanted to be.

Perhaps one day Pokemon fans will find out Ash Ketchum and his namesake Satoshi Tajiri were one and the same all along. This could change everything we know about the Pokemon series, and it may not be in a positive way...

Mr Game and Watch meets Paper Mario, Prince Fluff and Parappa the Rapper

Behold! The quickest comic ever made by Brawl in the Family gets remastered in colour!

Showing Yourself

Speak of the Yellow Devil, and Dr Wily's one-eyed blob monster will show up right in front of you.

The Yellow Devil does not speak in the Mega Man games. However, he did speak in a now-deleted GoAnimate Behavior Card Day YouTube video, where he spoke about how he and Dr Wily are in serious trouble after receiving bad behavior cards.

The Best Representation of the Russian SFSR

Adding the Russian tricolor stripes to the flag of the Soviet Union would have been the best representation of Russia during the Soviet era. Change my mind.

Green Gemstone Venn Diagram

While an emerald is harder than a jade, which explains why cutting jade in RuneScape has a chance of getting a crushed gem, what these two green gemstones have in common is that both emeralds and jades get turned into bolt tips for crossbow bolts in RuneScape.

Rome's Dark Secret

Fun Fact: When the Greek name of Rome's founder Romulus gets translated to Hebrew, the numerical value of the Hebrew letters that spell Romiith add up to the Devilish Number of the Beast.

The story of Rome's founding by Romulus and Remus did not have a happy ending because Romulus and Remus got into an argument that escalated into a bootleg Latin version of the Cain and Abel story that Bible readers are familiar with. Not only did Romulus end up killing his own brother, he did not have any regret or remorse doing so. It's even worse when you find out that the numerical value of the Hebrew letters that spell Romiith, which is the Hebrew translation of the Greek name of Romulus, add up to the Number of the Beast. In other words, the Italian Capital City really has a very dark secret that may go beyond the story of the city's founder killing his brother in a bootleg Latin version of the biblical story of Cain and Abel...

Mithril Warhammers United

Characters wielding Old School RuneScape Mithril Warhammers featured from left to right starting with the top row:

Row 1: Amy Rose (Sonic), Lip (Panel de Pon), Yoshi (Super Mario), Red Yoshi (Super Mario), Blue Yoshi (Super Mario), Yellow Yoshi (Super Mario).

Row 2: Hat Kid (A Hat in Time), Suchie-Pai (Suchie-Pai), Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Klonoa (Klonoa), Toon Link (The Legend of Zelda), Ryo Sakazaki (The King of Fighters XV Attire) (The King of Fighters).

Row 3: Garfield (Garfield), Edd (Ed Edd N Eddy), Gilius Thunderhead (Golden Axe), Tyris Flare (Golden Axe), Ax Battler (Golden Axe), Simon Belmont (As he appeared in Captain N: The Game Master) (Castlevania).

Row 4: RED Soldier (Team Fortress 2), BLU Soldier (Team Fortress 2), Dirk the Daring (Dragon's Lair), Spelunker (Spelunker), Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis), Lemming (Lemmings).

Yet another comic where characters wielding Old School RuneScape weapons are rising up in united arms against the injustices plaguing the Earth? Looks like justice know no boundaries...

Warships Named After Canberra

Fun Fact: USS Canberra was named in honor of HMAS Canberra, a cruiser that was sunk by the Japanese during the Battle of Guadalcanal. Also, HMAS Canberra (L02) participated in the commissioning of USS Canberra (LCS-30).

Bottomless Pit Prison Sentence

In The Legend of Zelda TV series episode "The Moblins Are Revolting", Ganon's soldiers staged a mutiny by imprisoning Ganon in the Bottomless Pit. Ganon's prison sentence in the Bottomless Pit lasted several minutes of screentime and Ganon already found it unbearable.

Speaking of prison sentences in the Bottomless Pit, did you know that the Devilish One will be locked up in the Bottomless Pit for 1000 years? If being locked up in the Bottomless Pit for several minutes is unbearable, then a 1000-year prison sentence in the Bottomless Pit will be extreme torture. Even then, that will be nothing compared to the Devilish One getting tortured in the Lake of Hellfire before getting banished to Outer Darkness forever. That will be the ultimate torment awaiting the Devilish One and his demons at the end of this Age...

Metal Bar Venn Diagram

Author's Note: Only RuneScape metals that exist in the real world are featured in this Venn Diagram comic.

Metals that are used for manufacturing weapons and armor: Iron, Steel.

Metals that are used for manufacturing sports medals: Gold, Silver.

Metals that are used for manufacturing weapons, armor and sports medals: Bronze.

While bronze is inferior to gold and silver as well as weaker than iron and steel, bronze has been widely used for the manufacturing of weapons, armor and sports medals, making it one of the most important metals in the history of metalworking.

Broken Glass Sword

Glass swords are so fragile that wooden swords and bronze daggers are probably laughing at their impracticality.

Remember that time when Uncle Grandpa and his friends tried to open a package? They tried all sorts of items and methods unsuccessfully, with the usage of glass swords being one of them. The glass swords got shattered in the process, proving that the fragility of glass swords make them impractical.

Mothballed Big Guns

If you think HMS Agincourt and HMS Erin getting decommissioned after less than ten years was disappointing, then you have obviously not heard about the short careers of the Alaska-class battlecruisers, the North Carolina-class battleships and the (1939) South Dakota-class battleships. In fact, none of these three ship classes will see any further action after Japan signed the surrender papers that officially ended World War 2, and the North Carolina-class battleships had shorter service lengths than HMS Agincourt. Talk about a short career...

The Face of Under One Roof

Sad news, folks. Moses Lim, the man who was the face of Under One Roof, passed away at the age of 75 yesterday. His health was not in good shape since 2018, but it was in 2023 when he revealed that he had a slow pulse rate that he decided not to return to the spotlight.

Farewell, Moses Lim. You were the face of Under One Roof and Singaporean sitcom in general.

When Gold and Silver Becomes Worthless...

You know things are extremely bad when even the most insidious rogue states are not safe from the coming judgment that God is going to unleash on the Earth...

Imagine a day when gold and silver gets thrown on the streets due to these precious metals becoming worthless. One must wonder why they became worthless in the first place. Is it because of hyperinflation? Or is it because gold and silver will not protect anybody from the coming judgment that Ezekiel 7:19 spoke about? If gold and silver do become worthless as a result of its inability to protect anybody from judgment, is it because the next World War is the coming judgment? If that is true, then people will have to start cashing in their gold and silver before World War 3 destroys billions worldwide...

Done with Lobster Consumption

If the dietary guidelines of Deuteronomy 14 were any indication, maybe it's time we stop eating lobsters and other seafood that do not have fins and scales. Maybe God does not want us to eat anything that he considers unclean because he knows shellfish such as lobsters are bottom feeders that eat rotten fish, and nobody in the right mind would eat rotten fish...

CD-i Tetris

While the Philips CD-i version of Tetris is not as fondly remembered as the Game Boy version or even the NES version due to being one of the worst versions of Tetris in existence, the scenery and music were the redeeming qualities that gave this game a special place in the hearts of video game historians and the Philips CD-i fanbase.

Reef Crashers

If there is anything to blame for the sinking of KD Pendekar and HMNZS Manawanui as a result of colliding with coral reefs, blame navigational errors...

Execution by Obliteration

Author's Note: All copyrights for the images in this comic go to their respective owners.

Remember the times when Dragon Ball Z's Goku obliterated baddies with his Kamehameha? Well, he would have obliterated Bubsy, Awesome Possum and Tingle with a Kamehameha just to appease the people who hate these guys.

Ignored by the MultiVersus War

Sad news, folks. The online servers for MultiVersus are shutting down on the 30th of May, 2025. While Lola Bunny and Aquaman will be the final additions before MultiVersus says "That's All, Folks!" for the last time, this will mean a large number of characters from the Warner Bros Vault will never see action in MultiVersus at all. This comic features a few of the Cartoon Network characters that will never get to fight in MultiVersus.

Cow and Chicken: Does anybody remember Cow and Chicken? I do, because this show was one of the best animated sitcoms in the history of Cartoon Network. Looks like we will never get to see Supercow fight alongside Superman...

Ed, Edd n Eddy: Another great animated sitcom from Cartoon Network. The real reason we wanted to see the Eds fight in MultiVersus is because some people claim that the Eds are powerful enough to destroy every MCU villain that gets in their way, meaning they have the power to deny The Never Ending Story's The Nothing from destroying the entire Warner Bros Multiverse. It's a huge shame that the Eds will never get to participate in MultiVersus because Ed, Edd n Eddy was one of the best animated TV shows produced in Canada.

We Bare Bears: Yet another great animated sitcom from Cartoon Network. What started as a webcomic on Blogspot became a huge sensation after becoming an animated TV show on Cartoon Network. And let's not forget the times when the Bears got into combat situations in said TV show...

TL;DR, if the MultiVersus servers go offline, then The Nothing wins, and it's all David Zaslav's fault.

Anti-Tank Magical Girl

Continuing from that comic about characters who would win against a T-72 tank, I decided to expand on it by coming up with this comic about eight tanks Rit would win against if she were to confront them.

Remember when I said that the first boss of the Mysterious Pyramid levels of the arcade version of Rod Land was a tank? It turns out Rit and Tam won against that boss, which inspired me to come up with the comic about characters who would win against a T-72 tank, and this comic is a sequel focused on eight tanks Rit would win against if she were to confront them.

M47 Patton: This tank never got to fire a single shot in anger under the American Flag, but it saw a lot of action in various conflicts. However, its combat record was below average, with the biggest blemish being the Iran-Iraq War, where Iranian M47 Pattons got destroyed by Iraqi tanks of Russian origin.

Chieftain Tank: Britain's attempt to create a more powerful successor to the highly successful Centurion Tank was actually a disappointment that got rejected by Allied countries, including the Netherlands, Canada and Australia. There was a silver lining in that rejection, however, because Iranian Chieftains were getting massacred by Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War. Even Iraqi tank crews claim that their sabot rounds were going through Chieftain Tanks like a hot knife slicing through butter, and those claims turned out to be true.

Type 62 Tank: This Chinese light tank invaded Vietnam during the Sino-Vietnamese War, only to perform poorly in that conflict due to its weak armor.

Type 63 Tank: Another Chinese light tank that invaded Vietnam during the Sino-Vietnamese War. Like the Type 62, it performed poorly in that conflict as well. During the 1991 Gulf War, Iraqi Type 63 light tanks invaded the Saudi Arabian city of Ras Al Jafiji to little success. The reason behind the Type 63's poor performance in the Sino-Vietnamese War and the 1991 Gulf War? Blame its weak armor.

Type 69 Tank: When the Type 69 Tank first came out, it was initially rejected by the Chinese Ministry of Defence due to its poor performance, and all 100 Type 69 Tanks were sent back to the factory that built them. After improvements were made, the Type 69 tank got better. So much better that China manufactured Type 69 Tanks for Iran and Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War. Talk about playing both sides...

Panzer 68: The Panzer 68 had so many problems that it could well be considered the worst tank to have entered military service. The Swiss Ministry of Defence knew about the Panzer 68's problems and they rectified many of these problems with the upgrade to the 68/88 model.

TR-85: Romania's most successful attempt at an indigenous combat tank project was not without teething problems. The problems were so bad that the communist regime threatened to cease tank production. Even after the modernization program that came after the fall of communism, the TR-85 still looks like a relic of the Cold War. In fact, the Romanian Ministry of Defence is mulling over retiring the TR-85. But with no replacement, the TR-85 will have to remain in service with the Romanian Army despite its obsolescence.

Arjun MBT: India's attempt to create "Leopard 2 Tank at home" was a huge disaster. How bad was the Arjun MBT project, you say? The project was mired in so much corruption that the final product ended up having a worse performance than the T-90 Tank. And Krauss-Maffei's involvement in the Arjun MBT project wasn't helping either because the Arjun's MTU engines were not the type of engines you would expect to find in the Leopard 2, but rather, these MTU engines were similar to the ones found in the Leopard 1.

With all that said, if Rit is a magical girl that is capable of anti-tank warfare, then she is eligible to be on the "Top 10 Best Magical Girls" list.

T-72 Destroyers

We have seen images of destroyed T-72 tanks in the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Syrian Civil War, the 1991 Gulf War, and the 2003 Iraq War. But one must wonder if the T-72 can be defeated by anyone with extraordinary powers. Here are some people who I think would win against a T-72.

Rit: In the Mysterious Pyramid levels that are exclusive to the Arcade version, the first boss of that set of levels is a tank, and Rit vanquished that boss. This means Rit would win against a T-72 if given the chance.

Captain Falcon: Anyone who wants to fight against Mute City's resident superhero clearly has a death wish. If a T-72 were to get Falcon Punched, it's as good as dead. Period.

Terry Bogard: The poster boy of the King of Fighters franchise did fight against tanks before. In The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2, you get to fight against a Metal Slug, and Terry Bogard is one of the many characters going up against the Metal Slug, with the possibility of him winning. And let's not forget that time when he went up against General Morden in Metal Slug Attack. If Terry Bogard can win against a Metal Slug, then he can win against a T-72.

With all that said, T-72 tank crews better pray that their opponents are not any of these three characters.

The Final Farewell Message Before RTS Became SBC

Remember the final End of Transmission announcement on 31 January 1980 before Radio Television Singapore became Singapore Broadcasting Corporation? If there was a final farewell message at the end of that End of Transmission, it would have said "Thanks For Watching! Goodbye For Now!" If such a farewell message did exist, TV viewers would have made their final goodbyes to Radio Television Singapore before it became Singapore Broadcasting Corporation on 1 February 1980.

Close-Quarters Combat Flops

When it comes to close-quarters combat, Usagi and Kagome would suck at it. Usagi is a crybaby who does not want to hurt anybody, even after they became monsters due to getting corrupted by evil forces, while Kagome never gets involved in close-quarters combat despite her archery skills. In contrast, Sakura Kinomoto would use her magic wand as a melee weapon, while Link and Pit are capable of engaging their enemies in melee combat in addition to having excellent archery skills. If Usagi or Kagome were to fight someone like, say, Street Fighter's Chun-Li, they would stand no chance if Chun-Li got close enough to kick their face. Therefore, Usagi and Kagome would get rekt very easily when it comes to melee combat.

Sobbing Ice Climbers

Author's Note: Today marks the 40th Anniversary of the NES game Ice Climber. Unfortunately for the Ice Climbers, Nintendo has no intention to come up with a new Ice Climbers game. Not even one for the Nintendo Switch 2. Talk about disappointment...

In the NES game Ice Climber, the player character sob when he/she gets No Bonus in the Bonus Level. This became the Ice Climbers' losing pose in the Super Smash Bros series since Melee. It may be harsh, but Nintendo did try to make the Ice Climbers faithful to the game they originated from.

Nintendo Switch 2 Wishlist

The Nintendo Switch 2 needs to have some real games other than the new Mario Kart that we saw in the first Nintendo Switch 2 Trailer. Here are some games that I think should be on the Nintendo Switch 2.

In recent years, we have seen GameCube games get the HD remaster treatment. Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine, the first two Pikmin games and Metroid Prime are good examples of GameCube games getting the HD remaster treatment. However, I feel that HD remasters for Mario Kart Double Dash and Wario World are long overdue.

Speaking of a HD remaster of Wario World, there should also be a new "Waluigi Mode" that has a playable Waluigi in the game, just like how the Nintendo Switch version of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze had a new "Funky Mode" that features Funky Kong as a playable character.

If Super Smash Bros Ultimate were to get the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe treatment, it would have featured Decidueye and Ninjara as playable characters as well as having all the DLC features included. This would definitely be by default the Nintendo Switch 2's must-have game.

Amico Wishlist

The Amico console was designed with bringing families together in mind. However, its future does not look bright at the moment. But that will not stop people from coming up with ideas for great games for the Amico. Here are just three games that I think would have been perfect for the Amico if the Amico were to finally see the light of market availability.

1. Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase: This long-awaited sequel to Soldam was a launch title for the Nintendo Switch in Japan. It got ported over to the PlayStation 4 in 2019. Should this game starring the fairies Rit and Tam get ported over to the Amico, it would have been a fantastic must-have Amico game in the Japanese market, and probably one of the few Amico titles to have a magical girl in it.

2. Atari Karts HD Remake: Remember Atari Karts for the Atari Jaguar? While Atari Karts got re-released as part of the Atari 50 games compilation, a HD remake of this mediocre racing game is long overdue. If we were to get a HD remake of Atari Karts, it would fix everything wrong with the original, as well as add new characters to the character roster. Perhaps we could have Bubsy, Ultra Vortek's Volcana and Kasumi Ninja's Angus MacGreggor added to the character roster?

3. A Pizza Maker Game: There are so many pizza maker games out there that I cannot even count them. If the Amico was designed with bringing families together in mind, then a pizza maker game should be one of those family-friendly games featured on the Amico's games list.

Ganondorf Is Too Cruel...

If Ganondorf were to execute Tingle, he would have thrown Tingle into a poison gas chamber similar to the ones found in the Nazi Death Camps.

If you hate Tingle for being a nuisance, killing him would be the right solution. But imprisoning Tingle in a poison gas chamber is not the right way to execute Tingle because it would make you as bad as the Nazis. And if Tears of the Kingdom was any indication, Ganondorf would have been far worse than the Nazis...

Bondi Beach Swimwear

If there was one beach synonymous with summer in Australia, it has to be Bondi Beach. However, Bondi Beach isn't the only beach in Australia. There are many more other beaches in Australia, with the beaches in Gold Coast being the most notable ones.

No visit to any of Australia's beaches is complete without being dressed in swimwear. The strapless one-piece swimsuits from MapleStory's Cash Shop are a great choice, and so is the two-piece swimsuit worn by Arle in PuyoLympics. These swimsuits are also suitable for the Ice Bucket Challenge as well. That's why swimwear, Australian beaches and the Ice Bucket Challenge go hand in hand.

Arcade Letter S Variations

When the 8-Bit Arcade Font was conceived, many variations with different versions of various alphabet letters were conceived. One of the most notable variation differences was the letter S, in which there are two variations of the 8-Bit Arcade letter S in Rally-X. The letter S that distinguishes the Special Flag from the other yellow flags in Rally-X is uncommon in video games that use the 8-Bit Arcade Font. It is, however, the correct way to write the 8-Bit Arcade version of the letter S.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Colours

The outer shell of the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons are available only in dark grey? Boring. We need new colours for the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con outer shells, like a Mario Edition pair or a Wario Edition pair or a pair of gold Joy-Cons.

Four-Pointed Stars

In RuneScape, Saradomin's emblem is a four-pointed star. The four-pointed star is also the emblem of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Alliance. This would mean the Saradominist faction is the RuneScape equivalent of NATO. But this uncanny similarity has yet to be officially confirmed by Jagex, and that's because Saradomin's four-pointed star came from the crown he's wearing while NATO's four-pointed star represents a compass that is keeping the Allies on the right road that is the path of peace.

No Delight in the Death of the Wicked

In Ezekiel 33:11, God states that he does not rejoice in the death of the wicked, but rather, he wishes for them to forsake their evil ways.

As much as I hate wicked evildoers so much that I wish for them to die a horrible death, I must remember that they are only human, and God does not want them to die of any cause of death without turning from their evil ways, even if these evildoers died without receiving any comeuppance whatsoever without turning from their evil ways. Should God resurrect them during the Great White Throne Judgement, they will come to the disappointing revelation that they are not burning in Hellfire, and such an idea had been one of the Devilish One's deceptions all along. These no-gooders, however, will end up in a Lake of Hellfire if they continue to reject God's forgiveness. Talk about meeting with a terrible fate...

IE SUCKS!

Unfortunately for Kirby, the pink amoeba found out the real reason why Internet users strongly dislike Internet Explorer.

Remember the infamous broken image icon? It has always been a huge nuisance to Internet users, regardless of its appearance.

Joy-Con Confusion

Remember the times when people tried to play 3DS games on their Nintendo DS? How about those times when people inserted a Wii U game disc into their Wiis? Well, Nintendo recently announced the Nintendo Switch 2, and its allure will be similar to its predecessor. However, it has the potential to repeat the mistakes that the 3DS and Wii U made during the early days of these two Nintendo consoles.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes made during the early days of the 3DS and Wii U, Nintendo needs to have greater clarity in regards to the Nintendo Switch 2. For example, the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons will not be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 due to the size comparisons with the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons. While Nintendo salespeople think this will be sufficient in preventing customers from getting confused, I think Nintendo needs to have greater clarity in regards to the comparison between the Nintendo Switch 2 and its predecessor. That way, Nintendo can at least avoid repeating the same mistake they made during the Wii U's early days.

PlayStation Museum Articafts

If an actual PlayStation Museum does exist, it would definitely need items from PlayStation's 30-year history. Here are some PlayStation-related items that I believe would have belonged in a PlayStation Museum if such a place exists.

Crime Crackers and its sequel Crime Crackers 2 are forgotten Japan-only games for the PS1. It's a huge shame because Crime Crackers was the very first PS1 game developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment.

Do you still remember the PS1 and PS2 demo discs that came with various PlayStation magazines? They would definitely be great artifacts for a PlayStation Museum.

If you have played PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, you would have been familiar with Polygon Man. Before he became the final boss of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, he was the original advertiser of Sony's PlayStation. Therefore, PlayStation advertisement posters featuring Polygon Man belong in a PlayStation Museum.

Other artifacts that would be perfect for a PlayStation Museum would include a Gold PlayStation 2, a PocketStation and a Silver PlayStation 2 Slim. While the PocketStation would be an easier find, the Gold PS2 and Silver PS2 Slim are less common and therefore, are harder to find.

While there are lots of PlayStation-related items that will be featured in a PlayStation Museum, these eight items deserve more respect in my opinion. Especially the Crime Crackers games, the PS1 and PS2 demo discs, and the Polygon Man advertisement posters.

Anti-Xbox 360 Weapons

Back in 2007, the infamous Red Ring of Death terrorized anyone who possessed an XBox 360. People started blaming Microsoft for not taking responsibility for all the XBox 360s that got bricked by the Red Ring of Death. Microsoft's response was to redesign the XBox 360 to reduce the number of XBox 360s getting bricked by the Red Ring of Death, and concealed the true cause of the infamous Red Ring of Death as a result.

For this comic, I came up with the idea of using various weapons to destroy any XBox 360 that got bricked by the Red Ring of Death. We have the dynamite and the shotgun from Looney Tunes, both of which are weapons in the Worms series, as well as the Uzi from the Worms series. We also have a Leopard 2 Tank from Daisenryaku and War Thunder, a Steel Warhammer from Old School RuneScape, Rit's Magic Wand from Rod Land and Soldam, and a Sledgehammer from MapleStory. If I had any of these weapons, I would definitely use them to destroy an XBox 360 that got bricked by the Red Ring of Death.

TL;DR, Bill Gates must pay a terrible price for making millions of XBox 360 owners unduly upset.

By the way, the Leopard 2 Tank in this comic is the Leopard 2A4 variant.

Rejecting The Present, Embracing The Past

The Mercedes-Benz Citaro was not a terrible bus. It was, however, not as appealing as the Mercedes-Benz O405. Sayori from Doki Doki Literature Club knows that the future needs to be like the past, but better. That's why some branches of Christianity would prefer that we discard our Present-Tense Culture if we are to preserve the heritage that created our national identity.

The Big Problem With Tiny Shorts

Anyone who wants to wear Pyra's tiny shorts will have to wear a pair of panties that's smaller than the tiny shorts in order to avoid exposing their panties. Also, there are boyshorts panties that are roughly as small as the tiny shorts worn by Pyra.
