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

Do you know any RTS games made in Japan? I only know like... 5

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm enjoying Bat-fam

Apparently, the Man-Bat from the bew Batman show owns a Sega Genesis.

Just finished Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions on the PS3.

An S-tier concept with a C-tier execution. I really someone revisits this idea again

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:

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I HAVE WRITTEN A NEW ARTICLE!

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.

Yep, it's official. My channel will be featured in an upcoming Street Fighter tournament in Japan.

(no idea which tournament though xD)

For those who have not had the pleasure of playing first person dungeon crawlers I want to show you what dark zones look like when you're actually playing the game

There's something magical about the aesthetic of old PC RPGs

The famous "Bus Station Street Fighter" (Street Fighter de Rodoviária) here in Brazil.
We had many hacked arcades in these places here.

Nada como jogar uma péssima versão pirata de Street Fighter, o game de luta mais famoso da história dos jogos eletrônicos.

Trading messages with a JP dude about my bootleg videos, made me realize there's a bit of context I never properly explained:

Bootleg games like Street Fighter & Donkey Kong Countryon NES or Tekken on the Mega Drive existed because +

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'm soooooo grateful to @st1ka.bsky.social for covering all of this.

This is fabulously good work here!!!
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.

WHAT?!
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.
