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?

Great Warships that did not fight in a war


Not all warships get to fight in wars. There are some warships that never get to fire in anger at any foe at all. Here are just several warships that I think were great warships that never had a chance to fight in a real war.

USS Nautilus (SSN-571): America's (and the world's) first nuclear-powered submarine was a game changer when it was first launched. Its was made famous through the first underwater voyage under the North Pole. Other than that and an embarrassing collision with aircraft carrier USS Essex, USS Nautilus (SSN-571) had a largely uneventful career. After it was decommissioned, USS Nautilus (SSN-571) was preserved as a museum ship.

Sweden's last class of cruisers, the Tre Kronor-class, did not get to fire a shot at any enemy vessel in anger at all, mainly due to Sweden being neutral in World War 2, as well as Russia choosing not to go to war against Sweden during the Cold War. Even under the Chilean flag, the Tre Kronor-class did not get to fire a shot in anger.

The De Zeven Provinciën-class cruisers from the Netherlands was another class of cruisers that did not get to fight against Russia or any of its clients during the Cold War. Even when in the service of the Peruvian Navy, the De Zeven Provinciën-class cruisers did not get to fire a shot in anger because whatever conflicts Peru was having during the time when they had the De Zeven Provinciën-class cruisers did not take place anywhere near coastal areas.

Britain's Tiger-class cruisers did not even get to fight in the Falklands War at all.

Chile's Almirante-class destroyers, like their Tre Kronor-class cruiser Almirante Latorre, never got to fight in any war at all.

Due to Canada staying out of wars in the years between the Korean War and the Gulf War, many Canadian warships did not get to fire a shot in anger. The Mackenzie-class destroyers were among those Canadian warships because they were not part of the Canadian flotilla involved in the Gulf War.

Italy's Impetuoso-class destroyers never fired in anger because the only communists that Italy had to fight against were not the armies of communist countries but Italian communists who use underhanded or subversive means to overthrow the enemies of communism in Italy.

These are just several great warships that did not get to fight in a war. There are many more great warships that did not get to fight in any conflict at all. Then again, any warship that stays out of war stays out of harm's way altogether, if the naval battles in World of Warships or War Thunder do not count, that is.

Awakened by Revelation


Author's Note: This comic used a popular meme template from the Halo machinima series Red vs Blue about somebody being deceived.

For those wondering what Red vs Blue is, it is a popular machinima series based on Microsoft's Halo series made by Rooster Teeth. In fact, this machinima series was officially endorsed by Microsoft.

What if it turns out that France, the Benelux nations, and the Scandinavian countries turned out to be distant descendants of the lost tribes of northern Israel? This could be the biggest plot twist that those studying Bible prophecy should be aware of, because for all we know, France could be the lost tribe of Reuben, the Netherlands, the lost tribe of Zebulun, and Sweden, the lost tribe of Naphtali. Another major plot twist to watch out for is that the clay part of the iron and clay feet of the statue of Daniel 2 represents the European nations founded by the ten lost tribes of northern Israel. In fact, some of these European countries, including France, Netherlands, and Sweden, are members of the European Union, which was born out of the ratification of the Treaty of Rome, and Rome was the seat of power of a great false church that disapproves of anyone who questions their authority, much like the Roman Empire that persecuted the Christianity of the early Apostles. Also, the European Union, like the Roman Empire, is being run by corrupt bureaucrats that dislike freedom, if the European Union's Digital Services Act being internet censorship made by Germany is any indication. If corrupt bureaucrats working for a shadow government that has always been Germany's true rulers being in league with a great false church results in the resurrected Roman Empire carrying out one last attempt to conquer the world, then France, Netherlands and Sweden have indeed been tricked, backstabbed and bamboozled.

However, God is going to ensure that the nations descended from the lost tribes of northern Israel, as well as the lineage of Judah, will exit the Babylonian system that the European Union tries to uphold. In Revelation 18:4, the biggest instruction is to exit Babylon, whether you are a descendant of Judah, or any of the northern Israelite tribes, or even a Gentile. Escape from the Babylonian system while you still can, because when the Doomsday Clock hits Zero Hour, extremely bad things will happen. But all of these calamities will end with the demise of the Babylonian system that began with the Tower of Babel because Christ will come back to prevent mankind's extinction by demolishing the Babylonian system and locking up the Evil One in the bottomless pit for 1000 Anno Mundi years. Only then will all of humanity, be they descendants of the Israelite tribes or Gentiles, be free from the wickedness that have caused a lot of suffering.
