Revenge of Human Slop

Author's Note: All of these "low quality" artworks are all made by humans. That's why this comic is about the revenge of human slop.

In light of Cara getting hit by unlawful scraping, it's time for Conservatives, Centrists and Progressives to unite against AI slop, and for human slop to exact its revenge against AI slop. So here are some so-called "human slop" images that I came up with to attack AI slop.

For those wondering what Cara is, it's a DeviantArt alternative that aims to take back the glory days of Pre-2010 DeviantArt by giving it all the functionalities of ArtStation and a strong Anti-AI stance.

The Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man was often considered a terrible game that contributed to the 1983 North American Video Game Crash. This disgrace in the eyes of Namco would have been called a "kusoge" in Namco's home country of Japan. However, it's considered human slop because it was coded by human programmers.

Without the Programmable Character Generator chip, the Sharp MZ-700 version of Mappy would have been considered human slop. However, in defense of its programmer GAMEROMAN, its very accurate gameplay was the reason Namco decided to publish it.

The Bronze Dagger from RuneScape has often been considered one of the weakest weapons in the game. Even then, this weak weapon is still superior compared to AI slop because it was designed by humans.

ACME products are mostly duds, and the dart bombs that Wile E Coyote deployed in The Road Runner Show episode "Lickety-Splat" are no exception. Back in 1961, they may have foreshadowed the dark future of exploder drone warfare that we are living in now, but that was in a time long before the existence of AI, meaning ACME's duds are considered "human slop".

Famiclone multicarts, especially those 99999-in-1 games, are full of knockoffs and broken ROM Hacks that were not coded by AI, meaning these bootleg products are obviously human slop.

While the Fair Use symbol would have been considered ugly depending on perspective, it was still created by human artists.

Inspired by a fellow Cara artist, I had this idea to come up with a picture where the brown wedge of human slop attacked the vicious circle of AI slop.

The Anti-AI logo has become a universal symbol of the #NoAI campaign, and it looks dull and drab. Even then, human slop was meant to be dull and drab, and the Anti-AI logo meets this criteria.

TL;DR, if there was anything that Conservatives, Centrists and Progressives can agree on, they would all agree that AI slop should go die in a ditch. So let's all reject AI slop and embrace human slop.

Programmable Character Generator

There was a port of Pac-Man for the Sharp MZ-700. Its graphics were very blocky due to the Sharp MZ-700 not having a graphics processor. However, if an external Programmable Character Generator chip was installed to the PC, the graphics will appear more accurate to the original arcade game. It's a similar case with the MZ-700 port of Mappy. The characters and objects in the game were comprised of letters, numbers and basic shapes due to the MZ-700's lack of a graphics processor. The graphics would end up looking similar to the MSX version of Mappy if an external Programmable Character Generator chip was installed to the PC. In other words, the PCG board works wonders when it comes to making Sharp MZ-700 games appear similar to arcade or MSX games.

Positive Wishes for the Future

The AOL Instant Messenger Running Man finally makes his debut in Neo Retro Union along with the Lemming from Exient's version of Lemmings.

With 2025 drawing to a close, we all wish for 2026 to be an Annus Mirabilis. Unfortunately, this may not be possible. However, this cruel Age will finally end, and the wishes of the AOL Instant Messenger Running Man, the Lemming and Pac-Man will finally come true because there will be no such thing as a Splinternet (A Balkanized version of the World Wide Web), stupidity will no longer exist, which will make Dietrich Bonhoeffer happy since he claimed that stupidity is a far greater threat than malice, and the flavours of the fruits that we eat will be drastically improved as a result of agricultural authorities going back to Nature's Laws of soil enrichment. All of these positive wishes will finally come true when the Demon King is finally kicked off his throne forever and locked up in the Bottomless Pit for 1000 years.

Job Application

Author's Note: I made this comic back in the days when I was still searching for a job and submitting resumes to anyone who has a job vacancy.

Remember those times when we applied for jobs by submitting resumes to any company that has a job vacancy? In this comic, Pac-Man, Hebereke and a Rabbid are submitting their resumes to Peter Pepper, hoping that he will give them jobs as guest playable characters in a new BurgerTime game. However, that is easier said than done because Peter Pepper will need to verify their suitability for the jobs that Pac-Man, Hebereke, the Rabbid, or whoever is submitting a resume to Peter Pepper are applying for.

It's highly likely Pac-Man will be the most suitable candidate for the special guest playable character in a future installment in the BurgerTime series. After all, he would devour the hot dogs, eggs and pickles that have been constantly chasing Peter Pepper in the BurgerTime arcade game.

Swordtember 2025 (Part 2)

Part 2 of Neo Retro Union's Swordtember Special. Click here for Part 1.

If a sword based on Pac-Man existed, it would have been called a Pac-Sword. The hilt would have a cross guard that resembles Pac-Man, and the pommel would have been based on the power pellets that makes ghosts vulnerable to getting eaten up by Pac-Man. This makes the Pac-Sword the Bladed Bane of Ghosts.

The Lionheart is a Two-handed Sword that can be equipped by Warriors that are Level 35 and above with 115 Strength, while the Neocora is a One-handed Sword that can be equipped by Warriors that are Level 60 and above with 180 Strength. Both swords come from MapleStory.

Still Munching Dots After 45 Years

What began 45 years ago with Toru Iwatani noticing a missing pizza slice looking like an open mouth became the crown jewel in Bandai Namco's video game history. Since then, Pac-Man went on to become a symbol of popular culture, making guest appearances in many other games and films. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Happy 45th Anniversary, Pac-Man! Here's to chomping your way to your 50th Anniversary!

Swimming Pool Matriarch Visual Gag Variations 8

Hey, folks. I'm back once more with yet another Matriarch of the Swimming Pool visual gag variations comic.

If there is anyone to blame for Dr Wily becoming a villainous villain, it's all the fault of the insensitive Dr Light. Also, the creepy Robot Masters Skull Man and Shade Man would definitely become BFFs.

If there is one thing Dr Eggman and Dr Eggman Nega fear most, it's being tested positive for diabetes.

If there is one thing Blaze the Cat should never do, it's sitting on Silver the Hedgehog. Especially when you have an Internet video where a cat tried to sit on a hedgehog only to get pricked...

I'm very sure Pokemon was the dying dream of a mentally ill Ash. If that turned out to be true, then this would explain why Ash can never grow old...

The Atari 5200 version of Pac-Man is definitely far superior to the subpar Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man.

A Tale of Two Atari Pac-Man Ports

You may have heard of the infamous Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man, but you have not heard of the Atari 5200 version of Pac-Man. That's because the Atari 5200 had poor sales figures due to low quality controllers. The Atari 5200 version of Pac-Man could have far better sales figures if not for the Atari 5200's poor quality controllers because the Atari 5200 version of Pac-Man is far superior to the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man as the Atari 5200 version is closer to the Arcade version than the Atari 2600 version.

Namco X Gundam

With the release of the Gundam Breaker 4 Pac-Man Collaboration Update, it would make more sense for Bandai Namco characters to become Gundam pilots. There are many Namco characters who would make great Gundam pilots, but Pac-Man, Klonoa and Steve Fox are probably the only Namco characters who are eligible to become Gundam pilots.

Then again, if Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 can have Lars Alexandersson from Tekken as a playable character, I don't see any reason why the Gundam series games do not include Steve Fox from Tekken as a possible Gundam pilot.

Sports Bra Swim Top Colors 2

Another comic about sports bra swim top color designs? Well, here's more of them, including one that looks like the Canadian flag, as well as more video game-related content, including NES Spelunker.

Kick The Ijiwaru 2

Characters kicking Waluigi's rear, from left to right: Pac-Man, Volcana (Ultra Vortek), Doremi Harukaze (Ojamajo Doremi), Akira Yuki (Virtua Fighter).

Another comic where people kick Waluigi's rear? And on top of that, starring a character from the nearly forgotten Ultra Vortek?

If you are unfamiliar with Ultra Vortek, that forgotten Mortal Kombat-like game where Volcana comes from was exclusive for the Atari Jaguar, which was a failed console that was hopelessly doomed by bad management and false advertising.

All the characters kicking Waluigi's rear in this comic are far more respectable than Waluigi, and should get our respect from us, especially Ultra Vortek's Volcana.
