1/ Oriental Pearl made a video in 2022 calling out the "language gurus" of YouTube. She and her guest make good points I listed here. She also emphasizes multiple times the exploitative nature of making money from a "position of power" (being a big YouTuber) with false claims.

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters. Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa":

Inventing Antifa
In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

After a year of work I've finally released my adventure game. It's called Maura and Ash, and it's designed for MS-DOS. You can download it or play it in the browser right now!

The ending for Secret of the Four Winds also uses stolen assets: Last Blade - Moriya stage and Last Blade 2 - Graveyard stage. The foreground trees are from Far East of Eden: Kabuki Klash (Hudson, 1995) and the cityscape from a random gif from at least 2017.

This is why you cannot trust YouTubers and publishers in the retrogaming space. This 2025 megadrive game presented as "better than most snes game" has assets traced over existing sprites (Wild Guns and Shinobi III) and AI-generated backgrounds. Garbage game, garbage company, garbage shill youtuber.

The Super Famicom game Itadaki Street 2 has a mini-game of Bingo. Looking at the RNG code, I found a flaw in the draw algorithm. One of these four bingo cards is significantly better and one is significantly worse than the others. Can you guess which ones and why?

Now retrobit's translator is accusing MIJET of having stolen the font engine code from another game (which he conveniently doesn't name). This man is a pathological liar.

Retrobit's translator denies any wrongdoing in a Spanish forum (link below). His response is a whole pile of horseshit if I've ever seen one. Cherry-picking, deflecting, blaming retrobit, bad faith arguments, a lot of focus on the fonts (who cares?) and not the egregious stuff. Just baffling!

a single line = "extremely vindictive of YouTubers" ? they absolutely have a responsibility in generating hype and fomo for expensive products claiming to be what they're not with their "reviews" (& some of them are mods in retro-bit's discord...) The post was written in the order of my research.

For what it's worth, I had no involvement with the Valken or Majuu-Ou releases referenced here. Retro-bit did try to reach out but for a variety of reasons I've been difficult to reach for the last long while.

Everything is terrible, or at least it feels like it. As such, it's more important than ever to take some time for yourself. Remember to do something you enjoy, something that makes you smile, even if no one else understands why it gives you joy. You owe yourself your mental health.
