And I thought of another - Rayla on The Dragon Prince (Netflix) also has two dads. One character is an Asian woman who is deaf and communicates in unsubtitled ASL, who has a mutual crush with a black woman as of the end of the most recent season.

Plenty of different races represented on that show: two of the main…

She-Ra also has an interracial lesbian couple in the cast, and the romantic tension between Adora and Catra is actually headed somewhere...

I think it’s important to point out that when you say “HBO Max confirmed Aqualad to be bi,” they didn’t do it meta-textually. They did it by showing him kissing his boyfriend on screen and having an actual relationship.

Also, technically, the DC Universe streaming service revealed it, since that’s where Young Justice…

I think it’s important to point out that the female version of Shepard was NOT actually on the cover of the game; it was the male version that was on the cover. FemShep was on the reverse side of the paper insert, so after you bought it you could take the insert out and flip it over and THEN she’d be on the cover.

She…

And if we’re talking about Tomb Raider, I’m not even sure how progressive that was. I’ve always gotten the impression that she was eye candy for boys rather than an actual female character.

If it’s as terrible as the DOA movie, I’ll love it.

True that. I was watching The Osbournes on a TV in a waiting room somewhere. They had subtitles on and one of Ozzy’s utterances was literally subtitled as:
“Sharon!!! [unintelligible mumbling]”

Well technically it doesn’t exist yet

Microsoft already has some big exclusives (if being available for Xbox and PC can be considered “exclusive”? They exclude Switch and PS5 owners, anyway), and there may be some more big ones. They’ve been buying up a lot of game studios, including both Bethesda and Obsidian, which means the next Fallout or Elder…

That’s a really good point, Microsoft has been doing this with their games for a while already. All the MS first-party games have been cross-compatible with PC and Xbox for at least a couple of years.
I can play State of Decay 2 on my Xbox, then go to my PC and launch the same game and load the same save from the…

I think it would SEEM like a really big deal if the only way you can check the temperature on what console users are feeling about it is to read reddit threads. I can tell you that on the Avengers subreddit, you’d think the PS5 upgrade process was literally killing people with the hysterical frustration people are…

“The place where you play the games and you don’t have to worry about anything else, especially if you have GamePass” is explicitly exactly what their current strategy is.  Their stated goal is to transition from being a “console manufacturer” to a game studio that also makes a couple console options for people who…

Men don’t think they’re emotional because the only emotion they’re allowed to display is anger, and their anger can be justified.
But jeez, look at the things that make some men angry, and how much of their lives they devote to expressing their anger in rants and screeds...

Well games are a medium, so they can be made as art but they can also be made purely functional. Just like paint can be a masterpiece work of art or it can just be something you put on a wall to make it beige.
Whether any given game *is* art or not, artistry is involved in its creation.  

You’re not wrong, but it also makes sense for them to read female, doesn’t it? Since they are apparently mammals, or similar enough, and they need to give birth to their young and, given visual evidence, to nurse them as well... they’re gonna need hips and breasts.

And yet, that’s surely not the actual reason. The…

Please see a doctor if the results of your long-lasting choice last for more than four hours.

A friend of mine screwed this up so badly, they lost everyone. EVERYONE.
Even Shepherd.

I think if you own an Xbox, GamePass is a fantastic deal. Is it a good enough deal to get people to switch from a non-Microsoft platform? I doubt it.

For me, it was a no-brainer. I was already an Xbox guy (I’ve owned Playstations, but the friends I do the most gaming with have always been on Xbox, so it’s always been…

Apparently it’s a 40% damage boost compared to Iron Man shooting it directly, but also it’s fun and awesome.  Anyway, they’ll still get chances to attack it directly, because that thing ain’t dead yet. 

Well that’s quite a dismissive summary of Ashley Burch’s body of work.
