Guy (Asian, he/him) who knows too much about Cassette Beasts. I might use this to actually share useful info, but honestly I keep forgetting I'm on Bluesky.

Might just be a me thing, but I dislike games/publishers that greet you with their EULA first thing on launch. 1) I already bought the product, so if I suddenly say no it's already too late. 2) What is with this obsession on controlling user-generated content. 3) An EULA for single player? Really?

Cramming week 4 of #cassettebeasts Inktober. Lavaroness, a Fire-type Fountess upset over not getting an invitation to the gala due to "health and safety reasons". Not necessarily my favorite beast, but a lava Fountess was too good an idea to pass up

A bit late now but here's week 3 of #cassettebeasts Inktober. I originally participated in it because this prompt was a good excuse to make a new banner for the YouTube channel, so here it is in a more conventional aspect ratio

Pixel art of how I appear in-game in Cassette Beasts (left), along with a floating axolotl (right) that has become the mascot for the channel. Some artistic liberties have been taken.

Currently now playing the waiting game. If nothing still happens despite everything, I think it's time to cross the point of no return. I do not wish for the worst case scenario to happen, but if it comes to it, so be it. I can't let it end like this, not when I still have one last card to play.

I'm starting to notice a pattern that quite a lot of people (especially ones who have very strong opinions on Machine Curse) leave behind comments that would have been addressed by just watching the video. Ergo, you didn't watch the video. So why should I take you seriously again?

I forgot I was supposed to be doing Bluesky stuff New video coming...probably tomorrow or this weekend. Not a huge fan of having to do continuous editing but it's either this or the finale releases after March CB Inktober week 2 maybe after that's finally done Also why is that thing a thing now

Listen here. If you're a member of the Cassette Beasts community, you all need to behave on the internet. I swear, this community has had a bad habit of not treating me with respect. Sometimes makes me wish I never got into making content in the first place if I just get thrown this BS as "thanks"

Imagine chilling at a park, when all of a sudden you've been told you might be banned effective tomorrow because some guy from your street broke the law and planned the crime in the park and somehow the "solution" to the problem is restrict access to the park This is commentary on recent events

Considering delaying my next video for a bit (which was supposed to go on the second channel). It was mainly a spite-fueled video essay rant but now it's been a couple of days and I'm like what the hell am I even trying to say here Nice clapback past me but what happened to the thesis statement

Returning back to work on the next video while I have some free time available. I wanted to make a general game design observation about monster tamers with "classic" turn-based combat, and I managed to find several good examples, so why, again, are we still using that one franchise as a reference

A screenshot of nine different monster-taming games with "classic" turn-based combat: Anode Heart (top left), Monster Alchemy (top center), Sculplings (top right), Dokimon Quest (middle left), Cassette Beasts (middle center), LumenTale: Memories of Trey (right center), Aethermancer (bottom left), Coromon (bottom center), Monster Crown: Sin Eater (bottom right)

Ah yes, let's make a short video analyzing the new CB2k2 stuff. Shouldn't take too long, right? 4 pages became 6 pages became 8. The more I work on this the more I'm starting to lose my mind. Ego death, William Blake, the shadow archetype, alchemy, Mordread? WHAT. DO. ANGELS. FEAR.

There was always this risk ever since Discord took over as the replacement for online forums. Anyway, if you haven't yet, now's the time for boycotting because nothing scares companies more than reactionay financial losses. Sacrifice some convenience to make a statement.

I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you? They're lying. Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.

If you want another reason to hate large language models, this warning made me want to just not read the whole wiki page, And it's not like I can just check other sites since search engines were borked by AI and anything written since 2025 has a good chance of being AI slop anyway
