Haven't seen this posted here, so I wanted to archive it somewhere. Youtuber "Falloutin3"
interviews slowbeef about Retsupurae for its 15th anniversary, originally posted on 2/22/23. In the description, he says he contacted Diabetus for it, but got no response.
I recommend checking out the entire interview, it's a thorough timeline of Retsupurae interlaced with classic moments, but here's a list of stuff mentioned:
>BillyMC is married
>BillyMC asked slowbeef to private videos of him
>NAVGTR asked slowbeef to help them with a panel for PAX
>According to slowbeef, NAVGTR was a weird company that threw things at the wall to see what sticks, they came off disorganized (regarding the PAX panel), and slowbeef wasn't sure what to make of it
>TotalBiscuit posted about their PewDiePie video, but he and PewDiePie were under the same network, "Maker Studios"
>Maker asked TotalBiscuit to dial it back, so he reached out to slowbeef about the PewDiePie video privately
>slowbeef and PewDiePie talked years later, goes on to say, "I like the version of the story where we were like, kinda friendly afterwards, so I just kinda stick to that one."
>a guy wanted to kickstart a game inspired by Monster Girl Quest, and used his kids in the promotional video. slowbeef joked about Child Protective Services in his reaction, which the guy said was uncalled for
We're nearing their 16th anniversary on 2/28/23, happy viewing all!
