Happy Pride Month!

I'm going to take this opportunity to compile a list of games with LGBTQ+ themes or characters.
I'm going to try to stick with the lesser-known ones to give them visibility.

1/5🧵

Sorry We're Closed (à la mode games, 2024)

Mediterranea Inferno (Eyeguys, Lorenzo Redaelli, 2023)

The MISSING: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories (White Owls, 2018)

Tell Me Why (DONTNOD Entertainment, 2020)

We're well into October now, which means 10 months of me makin' music for games full time 💖

My dream since FOREVER

And somehow it's happening! My lights are on, I pay for my kid's nursery, it's *real*

But it doesn't happen in a vacuum, it's down to mega support from the best people

Thank you! 🥰

A wild monster truck, in its natural habitat, look how much fun it has on the sand.

Is it some TV show?
It seems like some of the notes and the rhythm match.

sometimes you just look at something and think "now that's video games"

Now that I think about it, the first one looks like a Zaku who has left his life of war behind and now just wants to be at peace.

Videogame Beaches 🏳️‍⚧️ @videogamebeach.bsky.social · 8h

Oh, that's true. Although the only video I found shows that it only has a button to Noot Noot whenever you want. (Which is pretty cool, not gonna lie)

Oh that makes perfect sense, although I'm guessing a lot of kids would be laughing a lot before they changed the name. I already fell for that joke once and there were quite a few laughs.

Videogame Beaches 🏳️‍⚧️ @videogamebeach.bsky.social · 9h

Oh, in my case, the one I played the most was Castle of Illusion and QuackShot. NES and SNES weren't very common around here. I played Ducktales much later, when I was already a teenager, but I really loved it. Possibly was one of the best Disney games of the time

Wow, they're "realistic" ghosts, not in a cute or funny way. It's quite original, and creepy (in a good way).

Videogame Beaches 🏳️‍⚧️ @videogamebeach.bsky.social · 9h

This game is similar to Myst, with clay robots. But it has a lot more text, so it's difficult to progress without a good level of japanese.

I'm aware of the name of Pingu's Sister but I'm also aware of what that means in some spanish speaking countries and I'm not going to fall for it😂

Found that the game came with these two figures. I also wanted a Pingu and his sister. 🥲

I usually go a few years between SOTN playthroughs, and in that time I slowly forget that it's one of the most fun games ever made.

Then I start playing it and immediately remember that it is in fact one of the most fun games ever made.

#crt #retrogaming #castlevania

Death's bumbling minions, Slogra and Gaibon, a sort of Bebop and Rocksteady or Bulk and Skull duo, foolishly step to Alucard, seemingly unaware that he's going to destroy their dumb asses with his sexy vampire prowess.

In Castlevania's elaborate clock room, Alucard crosses paths with the mysterious Maria Renard. She leans against the wall like a cool lady before introducing herself and explaining her quest to locate the missing heir to the Belmont clan, her homeboy Richter.

Alucard naively attempts to parley with a nice young lady, perhaps unaware that she isn't a real lady but rather the mimic tail of a ferocious ambush-hunting beast.

Progressing through the twisted entrails of Castlevania, Alucard is assaulted by a doppelganger from the cosmic void. Uninterested in a psychological battle, Alucard simply beats the doppelganger into submission and banishes it back to the infinite abyss.

My rent is paid, so October starts now for my finances.

Of course, disability pretty much runs out immediately once rent is paid, so I'm going into the month on the ropes.

Plus, it's my birthday month. (The 8th!)

So here's the fundraising.

Resident Evil continues.

I finally died for the first time. Not to any of the fearsome monsters encountered thus far but to a damn boulder.

Then I hit a puzzle that requires an item I completely missed and will have to backtrack to find.

Video games, baby.

#crt #retrogaming #residentevil

Jill Sandwich rushes hurriedly down a dark and spooky forest trail, Beretta M92F at the ready. Malicious birds and malcontent dogs stalk her from the shadows, ready to waste her ammo.

Jill enters a room, shotgun ready, unaware that the largest and hairiest tarantula ever lurks just above her head. This photographer, dear reader, loosed a sort of Hank Hill-esque "buhhhhhh!" in terror.

Jill investigates an underwater control room as a gigantic battle-scarred Great White shark smashes its snout into the glass, eying her for a meal.

Having now slain giant spiders and sharks, Jill Sandwich bravely continues her quest into darkness, emboldened in her ability to whoop ass. Her trusty shotgun (the regular kind, because she callously let Richard die) yearns for more combat.

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

Katie Tightpussy, Editor-In-Chief @katie.bzky.team · 1d

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!

Oh, I had no idea about the ghosts, now I want to see it! I'll take a look at it rn!

I'm really surprised this game wasn't released outside of Japan.
