Okay, so SteamDB just dropped some info – Cassette Boy is officially launching on January 15th, but it’s based on Japanese time, which is GMT+9. That means if you’re west of Japan, like me, we’re getting it on January 14th! It’s a little later than they originally said back in October – they were aiming for sometime in 2025, but this is pretty close, and I’m just hyped to finally play it.
This launch comes after a lot of excitement from collectors, with some already buying, selling, and trading previous boxes on platforms like StockX and Facebook Marketplace.
And the timing couldn’t be more interesting, with traders nervously eyeing tomorrow’s Fed meeting, which might set the mood for the whole crypto market as we head into the final stretch of the year. 🤯 What’s next, a psychic? 🧙♂️
The market, that fickle mistress, presents a tableau of complexity. Whale sell-offs, ETF inflows, and the ever-simmering decentralization debate collide like guests at a poorly orchestrated soiree.

Gizelle’s role as a central figure on the show is best understood through her complicated relationships with Stacey and Monique. Their interactions showcase both her charm and her frustrating tendencies. Her back-and-forth with Monique was filled with underlying tension – they clearly didn’t like each other, but understood each other’s experiences, which often got under their skin. Early in the series, Monique had a strong case against Gizelle, portraying her as someone who enjoyed creating drama in other people’s relationships just for fun. However, Gizelle was quick to recognize Monique’s difficult situation in a failing marriage and felt compelled to intervene. This is partly why Gizelle’s attempts to hold Monique accountable felt unfair – Gizelle herself understands how damaging gossip can be to a family.
The show was definitely strange. Filmed on a brightly colored, low-budget set that looked a lot like Watch What Happens Live, Reality Hot Seat centered around the NBC broadcast of the Texans-Chiefs game. The commentary was provided by a group of four people: host Justin Sylvester (known from E! News), Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Heather Gay, Survivor’s “Boston Rob” Mariano (who was there to explain the sports aspects), and Chastain. At first, the show felt awkward and unnatural.
