<article class="content">
<p>26 April 2024 was a day of celebration for me, as it was both Lesbian Visibility Day and the <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1321440/view/4179979397366287532">first anniversary of the release of <cite>Cassette Beasts</cite></a>, my all-time favourite video game.</p>
<p>As a lesbian, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbian_Visibility_Week">Lesbian Visibility Day and Lesbian Visibility Week</a> are an important annual event, as there can never be enough lesbians nor love for lesbians. It had been about 8 years ago when I finally realised I was a lesbian, and I am still happy and proud to be a lesbian.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <cite>Cassette Beasts</cite> has become my all-time favourite video game ever since I started playing it in July 2023, to the extent I had created a <a href="/shrines/cassettebeasts/">shrine</a> for the game on my own website. There are no words adequate to describe the depth of my love for <cite>Cassette Beasts</cite>.</p>
<p>As a lesbian fan of <cite>Cassette Beasts</cite>, I am also absolutely delighted by the fact that the initial release date of <cite>Cassette Beasts</cite> coincided with Lesbian Visibility Day on April 26. For bonus points, <cite>Cassette Beasts</cite> features not only LGBTQ+ representation in both the main and supporting cast, but also an actual canon old married lesbian couple in the supporting characters Ianthe and Wilma.</p>
<p>To celebrate both Lesbian Visibility Day and the 1-year anniversary of <cite>Cassette Beasts</cite>' release, I made lesbian pride icons featuring the <cite>Cassette Beasts</cite> logo as well as Ianthe and Wilma both individually and together, and shared them on social media accounts, including <a href="https://lesbiannova.tumblr.com/post/748826429723148288">Tumblr</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/Leilukin/status/1783736715641024828">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://elekk.xyz/@leilukin/112336010189257467">Mastodon</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/leilukin.bsky.social/post/3kqzahri66x2x">Bluesky</a>. I had also shared them in the <a href="https://discord.gg/byttenstudio">official Bytten Studio Discord server</a>.</p>
<div class="tumblr-post" data-href="https://embed.tumblr.com/embed/post/t:7iNKXlbr-xwxyjZTq8C8hQ/748826429723148288/v2" data-did="6dbdfd5b616fdd82f7aabd63e6a1aae35b467d73" ><a href="https://www.tumblr.com/lesbiannova/748826429723148288/happy-lesbian-visibility-day-and-happy-birthday">https://www.tumblr.com/lesbiannova/748826429723148288/happy-lesbian-visibility-day-and-happy-birthday</a></div><script async src="https://assets.tumblr.com/post.js?_v=38df9a6ca7436e6ca1b851b0543b9f51"></script>
<p>My <cite>Cassette Beasts</cite> lesbian pride icons have been well-received, by not only other fans of the game, but also the developer Bytten Studio themselves. On Twitter, Bytten Studio not only retweeted, but also replied to my icons.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/images/posts/lesbian-visibility-day-cassette-beasts-anni/1-year-cassette-beasts-anniversary-twitter-repost.avif" alt="Bytten Studio's Twitter account retweeted Leilukin's lesbian pride Cassette Beasts icons"></p>

<p>On Mastodon, Bytten Studio also boosted my icons.</p>

<p>Furthermore, I had set up my website's header to display the lesbian pride flag and a blurb about Lesbian Visibility Day, and my <a href="/shrines/cassettebeasts/"><shrine>Cassette Beasts</shrine> shrine</a> to display a blurb about the game's release anniversary, both on April 26 annually.</p>

<p>In conclusion, this had been an exciting day for me as a lesbian gaymer.</p>
<p>On a somewhat related note, I love the fact that this week is not only <a href="https://www.lesbianvisibilityweek.com/">Lesbian Visibility Week</a>, but also has two of my all-time favourite games, <cite>Cassette Beasts</cite> and <cite>A Summer’s End — Hong Kong 1986</cite> (which I had also created a <a href="/shrines/asummersend">shrine</a> for), both of which happen to feature lesbian representation, celebrating their release anniversaries.</p>
<p><strong>Happy Lesbian Visibility Day and Happy Birthday to <cite>Cassette Beasts</cite>!</strong></p>
