Was thinking of doing a video on RTS games made in Japan.
But the more I look, the more difficult it is to tell the difference between an RTS, a Strategy RPG, a city builder and a Grand Strategy game.
I know it shouldn't be difficult, but boy do a lot of then mix & match genres

I've gone back to Wplace, found a big graffiti that someone started and gave up on.
Decided to claim the spot. I'll be VERY surprised if anyone can guess the character I'm drawing now:

this one's a bit weird; rather than doing my usual "trying to organize my thoughts and building a winding case that builds on itself," I decided to show you what my EARLY article creation process looks like:

some loosely organized thoughts about dialogue sysin games
think of this as me trying to find out what parts of dialogue choices are load bearing game design and what else can be done with dialogue.

These past few days I've been trading DMs with a Japanese dude who organizes Street Fighter tournaments in Osaka.
He took a major interest in my bootleg videos and how JP media was bootlegged/pirated across the world & how it was perceived in Portugal
Super rewarding convos

Hazbin Hotel Season 2 is the only time I've ever seen where every dub has the actor singing in their own language, and then have them all shift to singing in Japanese

After watching Back to The Future 1 in the theaters, I decided to revisit part 2.
And while I enjoyed it... it wasn't as good as I remember. Part 1 still slaps though

I almost fell for an attempt to hack my channel today.
But thankfully, @slopesgameroom.bsky.social made a video talking about this exact scam earlier this year

Just finished this and up until the last one I was discovering stuff and while not everything is to my taste (I'm more Shooters Ready than Beyond Citadel 😅)

I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan.
From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history.

This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

My coworker has the Green Hill Zone theme as his ringtone.
I ask if he likes Sonic.
"No, but my son is a Sonic fanatic"
"How old is he?"
"16"

One of my favorite parts of this video? You can scrub two hours into it and still hear how much joy he has when talking about the games. Truly a labor of love to make a lot of these titles more accessible to new players.

STOP THE PRESSES.
The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one.
Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon.
