The Duality of Clarice

In the 2004 mobile game City Connection Rocket, Clarice is seen blushing when wearing a bikini after the player completes a level set in Hawaii. Three years later, in Jaleco Super Tennis, when Clarice wins, she is seen wearing a bikini, but she is happy and not blushing anymore. Perhaps Clarice did not want to be seen wearing a bikini in City Connection Rocket, but all of that changed by the time Jaleco Super Tennis was released for Japanese cellphones three years later.

Windows 11 Backlash

Microsoft has once again made its customers unhappy. Windows 11 is getting bad reviews from its users. Even Windows operating systems that got negative reviews such as Windows 8, Windows Vista and Windows Me were nowhere near as awful as Windows 11 despite the fact that these three operating systems have more haters than Windows 11.

Then again, Windows 11 is gaining haters faster than Windows Me, Windows Vista and Windows 8 because you have to sign in with a Microsoft Account to use Windows 11, and it "forces" you to use Microsoft Edge to browse the Internet. So much for Microsoft trying to create an operating system that they claim is better than Windows 10, but in reality is a step backward from its predecessor.

Fair Use VS European Union

Why does the European Union want to attack Fair Use and free speech on the Internet? Because the European Union is ruled by unelected bureaucrats that hate Fair Use and free speech on the Internet. That's why the European Union is establishing an anti-Anglo-Saxon, anti-democratic, anti-free-enterprise regulatory system built on the basis of the inquisitorial Roman Law, where accused suspects are guilty until proven innocent, in contrast to English Law, where accused suspects are innocent until proven guilty. Looks like those who claim that the European Union will evolve into the Beast Regime that Revelation 13 speaks about may have been right all along...

At World's End

Have you ever wondered what would you do on the day of world's end? Well, that is exactly what this weekend's Splatoon 3 Splatfest is all about.

Blondette, Brunetta and Turquoise would treat the day of world's end like any other day. Red Cap, Amethyst, Sabriel and Magenta would prefer to check off their bucket lists on the day of world's end. For Red Cap, it would be to collect one copy of every Sega Saturn game from all regions (North America, PAL regions, Japan, South Korea) while Amethyst, Sabriel and Magenta would rather get 100% completion rate on Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase. Major Duncan, Captain Rodney and Oberon, however, would do anything to avert world's end by taking down the villains responsible for bringing about this apocalyptic event.

For those wondering what a bucket list is, it is a list of things somebody would like to do or achieve before they die.

The End of Rooster Teeth

This is it. The day Rooster Teeth's website goes offline has finally come, and it's all the fault of David Zaslav's bad management of Warner Bros.

Farewell, Rooster Teeth, and thanks for the great Halo machinima series Red vs Blue!

The Overdue Handover

Today is the last day of Lee Hsien Loong's reign as Singapore's Prime Minister before the historic handover because tomorrow marks the day he hands the reins over to Lawrence Wong. Lee Hsien Loong was already mulling over handing the Prime Minister role to Lawrence Wong before the pandemic, but the pandemic delayed his handover plans. In other words, this is a handover that was long overdue.

United By Epic Handshakes

People doing the Epic Handshake from Predator (1987), from left to right: Spelunker (Spelunker) and Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis), Lucia (Wing of Madoola) and Yuko (Valis), Ptolemy (The Fairyland Story) and Ripple (Magical Chase), Megumin (Konosuba) and Atsuko (Little Witch Academia).

Author's Note: This comic is dedicated to the memory of Carl Weathers, who passed away earlier this year. He will be best remembered for his role as Dillon from the 1987 movie Predator, in which Dillon and Arnold Schwarzenegger's character Dutch invented the Epic Handshake meme years before the World Wide Web went mainstream.

In order to stand up against the coming darkness, we all need to do the Epic Handshake to stand united. This is important because the turmoil of the last days will be way worse than the turmoil from the past 120 years that has come and gone.
