While emeralds and jades are different from each other, what these green gemstones have in common is that they can be turned into bolt tips. #RuneScape

Original Upload Date: 27/2/2021 Did you know that Ash Ketchum was named after Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri? For all we know, Ash Ketchum and Satoshi Tajiri were one and the same.

Is there anyone who likes to do comics? Here are some comics that need a conclusion. So submit your entries to give these comics a conclusion.

The story of the founding of Rome did not have a happy ending because Romulus killed his brother Remus, making it look a lot like a bootleg Latin version of Cain and Abel...

Is it a coincidence that the American #DennisTheMenace and the British #DennisTheMenace both have the same release date despite being drastically different from each other?

If I had a Mithril Warhammer from Old School RuneScape, I would definitely rise up in arms against the injustices that are making life miserable for millions worldwide. After all, justice knows no boundaries.

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) was present at the commissioning of USS Canberra (LCS-30).

I definitely wouldn't want to be locked up in the Bottomless Pit, even if the prison sentence is a measly five minutes... If being locked up in the Bottomless Pit for several minutes was unbearable, then a 1000-year prison sentence in the Bottomless Pit is torture on a whole different level...

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, armour and sports medals, making it one of the most important metals in the history of metalworking.

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

Can you believe it has been one year since I began my journey on Bluesky? It has been one bumpy ride though, especially when there is totally no room for errors... If you want a pleasant journey on Bluesky, please avoid making the mistakes that I have made. It will help you a lot.

It's a pity that the Alaska-class battlecruisers, the North Carolina-class battleships and the (1939) South Dakota-class battleships will never see action again after the end of World War 2. They could have served in the Korean War if they were not mothballed... #Battleship #USNavy

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

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 next World War?

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 because shellfish such as lobsters are bottom feeders that eat rotten fish, and nobody in the right mind would eat rotten fish...

While the Philips CD-i version of Tetris is not as fondly remembered as the Game Boy version, the scenery and music were the redeeming qualities that gave this version of Tetris a special place in the hearts of video game historians and the Philips CD-i fanbase. #PhilipsCDi #Tetris

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... #EpicFail

If Goku could execute anyone with his Kamehameha, he would have executed Bubsy, Awesome Possum and Tingle. These three characters deserve to die because they are very irritating. #DragonBallZ #Bubsy #AwesomePossum #TheLegendofZelda

It's a pity the MultiVersus servers have to shut down. Not all characters owned by Warner Bros will get to be in MultiVersus before the server shutdown. In my opinion, the biggest omissions are Cow and Chicken, The Ed Boys and the Bears from We Bare Bears.

If Rit is a magical girl capable of engaging in anti-tank warfare, then she is eligible to be on the "Top 10 Best Magical Girls" list.

T-72 Tanks would have very little chance of winning if they went up against Rit, Captain Falcon, or Terry Bogard.

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!"

Original Upload Date: 16/3/2023 Is Jenova from Final Fantasy VII the ugliest female villain in video game history? Because everything about her is very unsettling, including her theme...

Original Upload Date: 31/10/2022 Do you agree that Jenova in her penultimate boss form is uglier than Polygon Man? Because Polygon Man was relegated to the sidelines for 17 years for being too ugly and too scary.

Original Upload Date: 23/8/2023 I'm very sure Jenova would be very upset about Sephiroth's humiliating defeat at the hands of Kazuya and Kirby. Unfortunately for her, she has no place in any of Polygon Man's malevolent plans, even if one of them involves destroying the video game industry.

Jenova is far too ghastly to make any appearances in any webcomic featuring Final Fantasy VII characters, including Wooden Plank Studios. In fact, Jenova's face is so ghastly that it would give Hazbin Hotel's Charlie Morningstar PTSD.

If there was anyone who should be considered the true villain of the Final Fantasy VII Saga, it's not Sephiroth the Bringer of Despair, nor Jenova the Calamity that fell from the sky and tried to destroy Gaia, but Professor Hojo, the evil genius who happens to be Sephiroth's father.

If there's anyone to blame for Sephiroth's villainy, including that One-Winged serial killer bringing Smash despair, it's Jenova. Not to mention that Jenova would have been too ugly to appear in Wooden Plank Studios or make a cameo in Smash as a background character in the Northern Crater stage...

Jenova is so hideous that even the #PS5 is nowhere near as ugly. Even Polygon Man finds Jenova's skull face too grotesque. Not to mention that Jenova would be too ugly for any major webcomic, most notably Wooden Plank Studios. #FinalFantasy7Rebirth

Original Upload Date: 31/1/2022 Copyright lawyers should not be above the law, Square Enix. Also, Jenova is the ugliest female villain in video game history because everything about her is very unsettling, including her theme.

In this BitMusical video, if there is anything that would cause Ganon(dorf) to go ballistic, it would have to be someone misspelling his name. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGxv...

If Usagi and Kagome were forced to fight in melee combat, they would utterly fail hard and die horribly. Usagi is a crybaby who does not want to hurt anybody, while Kagome prefers her archery skills over melee combat. #SailorMoon #Inuyasha #StreetFighter

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.

The three games on my #NintendoSwitch2 wishlist: 1. Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Remastered 2. Wario World Remastered + Waluigi Mode 3. Super Smash Bros Ultimate Deluxe

The three games on my #Amico wishlist: 1. Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase 2. A HD Remake of Atari Karts 3. A Pizza Maker game

If Ganondorf were to execute Tingle, he would have imprisoned Tingle in a poison gas chamber similar to the ones found in the Nazi Death Camps. In other words, Ganondorf is definitely a Nazi.

The strapless one-piece swimsuits from MapleStory's Cash Shop, as well as the two-piece swimsuit worn by Arle in PuyoLympics are among the best swimwear to wear at any Australian beach. These swimsuits are also suitable for the Ice Bucket Challenge as well.

Happy Australia Day to all Australian #Tekken Fans! #Tekken8

Isn't it weird that there are two versions of the 8-Bit Arcade Font letter S?

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. #NintendoSwitch2
