I’m currently playing “Cassette Beasts”. Pretty fun game that takes the pokemon formula, and turns it on its head.

I will not play long and involved 300 hour games. It’s too much. I want bite sized games.

The internet said this game is 25 hours long. Except thats bullshit. There are 130 monsters. I’ve caught 16. I’ve been playing for 17 hours. I don’t know if this game has “gym leaders”. But if they do, I haven’t seen them yet.

I have no bad words about the game, other than the fact that it takes 10 minutes (I timed it) to go from not yet opening the game, to get to a title screen. It also crashes pretty regularly. Meaning you gotta wait 10 minutes AGAIN.

But the point is, I’ve barely scratched the surface of this game, and I’m approaching the time period where most people have beaten games.

Am I just bad at games?

      Is that the song that plays in the cafe? Thats the only one I’ve heard with lyrics. I’m getting sick of that song, just because sooooooo much of the game is go out, fight, come back to the cafe. Repeat.

      So you hear 30 seconds of that song over and over and over. It has the same effect on me that radio songs before the 2000s did. You just never want to hear it again.

      Then you’re just sitting on the toilet like “I’m certain…I’m certain…”. Then you get mad that now you’re singing the song.

        That song is interesting.

        I didn’t like it too much either when playing the game because of how repetitive it got.

        But then I finished the game, and months later I found myself missing it. It’s kinda a sad song that doesn’t really hit until it’s been over for a bit. Now I listen to it every now and then.

          I liked the cafe song the first time I heard it. I was also high and very relaxed. By the 10th time hearing it in an hour it had lost it’s charm.

          I swear I’ve heard the song you linked, except without the lyrics.

              Because my creatures are mostly dead after 2-3 battles in the wild. So you go out, have a few battles, and then cafe to rest. I’m over here at level 23, and still getting killed by level 9 creatures over a few battles.
