Next, for @intothespine.bsky.social, I wrote a short piece about how gay men are treated as an optional factor in video games to this day. How they rarely, if ever, get to be a fleshed out main character with a history of being gay.
Optional Gay Men
Gay men shouldn’t just be an option to select in video games.

The Elegance of Idle

I love these roundups because they often highlight not just media I might’ve overlooked but just how skewed most games and media news is. @intothespine.bsky.social’s contributors always uncover gems! Also, I wrote about Silent Hill: Homecoming for this. 😁

No idea how @diegoarguello.bsky.social wrangles together around 100 writers every year for this but he’s a superhero for doing it. In here with some thoughts on Ball x Pit and the weirdness of a game’s best feature being letting you not play it.
