    Ep. 71 - The number of gaymes they just announced is… UNBEATABLE

    I took a week off from recording and during that time, there were so many queer game announcements that it’s gonna take me an hour to get through them all! We’ve got Final Fantasy, Diablo, Overwatch, Horizon, Hollow Knight, Oblivion, Fallout, and… Thomas the Tank Engine…?! In the second half, Cleo joins me for our long overdue discussion of the off-the-wall rhythm game UNBEATABLE. Was the game actually beatable after all? Cleo gives us all the details (including a dose of spoilers in the last 10 minutes)!   00:00:00 - Intro 00:10:51 - News 01:02:41 - UNBEATABLE 01:28:34 - SPOILERS for UNBEATABLE   The news segment was recorded on Feb 16 2026.

    FEB 2

    Ep. 70 - Tomodachi Life has become “Homodachi Life”

    Nintendo fulfilled its promise to include same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life, but they didn’t stop there! Just how queer is the new Nintendo wacky life-sim? We’ve got all the big gay details! Lloyd joins me for this episode in which we also discuss the first steps into our Celeste journeys, plus the news, and finally a discussion about generative AI in video games. Headlines include game developers reportedly *maybe* skipping the Game Developer Conference, a bold industry response to the Ubisoft layoffs/restructuring, and Scott Pilgrim EX has a release date. Please note that our connection was a bit weaker than usual so there is a bit of a delay between some of mine and Lloyd’s discussion. Sorry about that, True Avatars!   00:00:00 - Intro 00:04:06 - What We’ve Been Playing 00:38:18 - News (incl.

    Ep. 69 - Fable is Strange in 1348

    Hosting solo again and covering a big week of queer game reveals: Life is Strange: Reunion, 1348 Ex Voto, and possibly even Fable. There was a bunch of Mario news (including trans reps in the new movie), Warframe is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 very soon, the PS6 might be delayed, Ubisoft is laying off even more people, and so much more!   00:00:00 - Intro and What We’ve Been Playing 00:03:17 - What I’ve Been Playing 00:10:41 - News   Mild spoilers for the ending of Life is Strange: Double Exposure   This episode was recorded on January 25 2026.   Follow True Avatars: Official website: https://trueavatarspodcast.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TrueAvatars Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/trueavatars.bsky.social Twitter: https://x.com/TrueAvatars Threads: https://www.threads.com/@trueavatars/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@true.avatars Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trueavatars/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569951551559   Sources: https://youtu.be/b2eHeCKYHJc?t=1806 https://www.youtube.com/live/hXn6bvU1Kh4 https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/fables-evil-landlords-wont-grow-devil-horns-as-reboot-ditches-classic-character-morphing-due-to-a-lack-of-belief-in-objective-arseholery https://1348exvoto.com/ https://x.com/1348ExVoto/status/2014714742108024903?s=20 https://www.gematsu.com/2026/01/1348-ex-voto-launches-march-12-for-ps5-and-pc-xbox-series-version-canceled https://www.ign.com/articles/ubisoft-cancels-6-projects-including-prince-of-persia-sands-of-time-remake-closes-2-studios-and-confirms-further-layoffs-in-major-company-restructure https://www.linkedin.com/company/ubisoft-stockholm/ https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/1qk6qd6/rumor_sandstoneinsights_analysis_sony_expects_the/?share_id=jwMnzRpiBdD8gCbT0PdXG&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1 https://www.digitalextremes.com/news/january-warframe-devstream-highlights https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/free-update-for-mario-kart-world-lets-you-race-as-a-team-in-knockout-tour/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVB3hZoOF0A https://youtu.be/yP5RGz_CRFM https://x.com/USJ_Official/status/2014203076266348758

    Ep. 68 - The Lesbian Plot Twist

    Ekamy and I dive into the strange queer game phenomenon: the Lesbian Plot Twist™. Isn’t it a little odd that so many gaymes prefer a mid-game “she’s actually a lesbian” surprise? Spoilers abound (see below). We also discuss the news (including updates on the Life is Strange 5 and Sims 4 leaks, some queer games are being delisted, layoffs, and anniversaries), what we’ve been playing, and Queer Game of the Week!   00:00:00 - Intro 00:12:06 - What We’ve Been Playing 00:16:40 - News 00:47:37 - The Lesbian Plot Twist 01:23:58 - Queer Game of the Week: Of the Devil   SPOILER WARNING: Gone Home, Unpacking, This Bed We Made, The Last of Us Part I - Left Behind DLC, Life is Strange 1, Lock & Key, A Normal Lost Phone, Another Lost Phone, Tacoma   This episode was recorded on January 18 2026.   Follow True Avatars: Official website: https://trueavatarspodcast.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TrueAvatars Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/trueavatars.bsky.social Twitter: https://x.com/TrueAvatars Threads: https://www.threads.com/@trueavatars/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@true.avatars Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trueavatars/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569951551559   Guests: Ekamy: https://www.twitch.tv/ekamy   Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2eHeCKYHJc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rsi1cN3O48 https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/the-values-that-shape-the-sims https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/the-sims-studio-says-its-values-are-unchanged-including-inclusivity-as-eas-saudi-takeover-progresses/ https://x.com/accidentalq/status/1998069196224385420 https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/meta-has-closed-several-studios-including-splosion-man-studio-twisted-pixel-and-asgard-wraths-sanzaru-games/ https://aftermath.site/meta-layoffs-camouflaj-batman-arkham-shadow/ https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/ubisoft-hits-the-division-and-avatar-studio-massive-entertainment-with-layoffs/ https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-shuttering-freshly-unionised-halifax-studio-71-jobs-affected https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendos-share-price-has-dropped-33-in-the-last-five-months-in-japan/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4le852wgeo https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sega-announces-sonic-35th-anniversary-plans-to-celebrate-sonics-legacy/

    Ep. 67 - Life is Strange 5 just LEAKED …and Chloe is back?!

    I said I wasn’t gonna record a new episode this week, and then the Life is Strange: Reunion leak was just far too juicy to ignore. So I took the opportunity to also cover some older news stories I missed during December. This week is a little shorter because it’s just me and it’s only the headlines. Other news includes Netflix buying Warner Bros and significantly undervaluing its games division, Fortnite is collaborating with She Who Must Not Be Named to offer Harry Potter cosmetics, more video game adaptations are coming to the big and small screens, and Sims 4 might have a new expansion coming soon. PLUS, if you somehow missed it, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – remember that indie darling? – got DISQUALIFIED from winning one of its many Game of the Year awards (and that same awards show snubbed most of its queer nominees).   00:00:00 - Intro 00:05:42 - News   SPOILERS for the ending of Life is Strange and mild spoilers for ending of Life is Strange: Double Exposure   This episode was recorded on January 10 2026.   Follow True Avatars: Official website: https://trueavatarspodcast.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TrueAvatars Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/trueavatars.bsky.social Twitter: https://x.com/TrueAvatars Threads: https://www.threads.com/@trueavatars/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@true.avatars Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trueavatars/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569951551559   Sources: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/a-rating-has-leaked-an-unannounced-life-is-strange-sequel-with-strong-language-and-drug-use/ https://www.gematsu.com/2017/09/esrb-rates-grand-theft-auto-liberty-city-stories-vice-city-stories-max-payne-2-midnight-club-3-ps4 https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/s/FiwgBXORSD https://x.com/NateTheHate2/status/2009691766191165501 https://larian.com/news/divinity-original-sin-2-is-now-available-on-switch-2-ps5-and-xbox-series-x-s_147 https://productionlist.com/filming-may-frederick-e-o-toye-direct-upcoming-series-fallout-season-3-santa-clarita-ca-united-states/ https://www.inverse.com/gaming/fallout-season-2-jonathan-nolan-interview-phil-spencer-xbox https://screenrant.com/fallout-season-2-filming-wrap-ella-purnell-bts-photo/ https://variety.com/2025/film/news/sonic-spinoff-movie-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-live-action-film-2028-release-dates-1236596459/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/helldivers-movie-justin-lin-sony-1236438370/ https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/01/toby-fox-shares-development-update-on-deltarune-chapter-5 https://twistedvoxel.com/stardew-valley-shadow-drops-on-switch-2-with-free-upgrade/ https://x.com/concernedape/status/2006079498849247743 https://x.com/ConcernedApe/status/2006086790311272546 https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/12/fortnite-dragged-for-collaboration-with-jk-rowling-after-canceling-pride-celebration/ https://kotaku.com/netflix-warner-bros-games-batman-harry-potter-deal-2000651695 https://www.indiegameawards.gg/ https://insider-gaming.com/indie-game-awards-disqualifies-clair-obscur-expedition-33-gen-ai/ https://www.reddit.com/r/expedition33/comments/1prr5f6/sandfall_clarifications_about_their_use_of_genai/ (post was removed a day after I double checked it, but the paywalled source from the reddit user is the next URL) https://english.elpais.com/culture/2025-07-19/the-low-cost-creative-revolution-how-technology-is-making-art-accessible-to-everyone.html https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/battlefield-head-infinity-ward-co-founder-and-respawn-ceo-vince-zampella-has-died/ https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/01/08/xbox-developer-direct-2026/ https://simstime.net/2026/01/04/confirmado-the-sims-4-legado-realeza-e-a-proxima-expansao/

    Ep. 66 - What’s in store for queer gaming in 2026?

    Cleo and Lloyd are back, and together we break down all the queer games scheduled for 2026! There’s tons of indies and AAAs, plus a whole bunch of non-queer games we’re excited for too! But we don’t know everything that’s coming out next year; we also make some bold predictions for games (and where the industry might be heading). Let’s find out what queer gaming is going to look like in 2026!   00:00:00 - Intro 00:09:23 - Looking Ahead to 2026   SPOILERS for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis (and the original Tomb Raider)   This episode was recorded on December 18 2025.   Follow True Avatars: Official website: https://trueavatarspodcast.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TrueAvatars Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/trueavatars.bsky.social Twitter: https://x.com/TrueAvatars Threads: https://www.threads.com/@trueavatars/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@true.avatars Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trueavatars/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569951551559   Guests: Cleo: https://www.instagram.com/cleostrophobia/ Lloyd: https://www.twitch.tv/lloyd_lloydster   Queer indies highlighted: Usual June: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2702430/Usual_June/ Interplanetary Love Guide: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3390210/_Interplanetary_love_guide/ Hedgehog’s Dilemma: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3192120/Hedgehogs_Dilemma/ Monster Gal’s Voyage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3743860/Monster_Gals__Voyage/ BrokenLore: Unfollow: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2133830/BrokenLore_UNFOLLOW/ Steel Century Groove: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1858950/Steel_Century_Groove/ Laugh Track: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3765430/Laugh_Track/ Scarlet Hollow Episode 5: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1609230/Scarlet_Hollow/ Key Fairy: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2878580/Key_Fairy/ Dead in Antares: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2511800/Dead_in_Antares/ Coffee Talk Tokyo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3161220/Coffee_Talk_Tokyo/ The Wide Open Sky is Running Out of Catfish: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3172760/The_Wide_Open_Sky_is_Running_out_of_Catfish/ Lap of the Gods: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3138230/Lap_of_the_Gods_A_Visual_Novel/ Building Relationships: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2666920/Building_Relationships/ Frame of mind: a game of thoughts.: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2515480/Frame_of_Mind__A_game_of_thoughts/ Hungry Horrors: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3048840/Hungry_Horrors/ Find this Pixel Anomaly: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3290400/Find_This_Pixel_Anomaly/ Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2945150/Feline_Forensics_and_the_Meowseum_Mystery/ High Times - Dating/Cooking Sim: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2251220/High_Times__DatingCooking_Sim/ Neo Junk City: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2378230/Neo_Junk_City/ Messy Hearts: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3892820/Messy_Hearts/ Paralives: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1118520/Paralives/ Sucks To Be In The Sticks: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3665100/Sucks_To_Be_In_The_Sticks/ Neverway: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2318330/Neverway/ Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix (technically not indie): https://store.steampowered.com/app/3509140/Fear_Effect_2_Retro_Helix/ IKUMA: The Frozen Compass: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1728620/IKUMA__The_Frozen_Compass/ Scott Pilgrim EX: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2640950/Scott_Pilgrim_EX/ Dosa Divas: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2950710/Dosa_Divas/ Cyber Paradise: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2431790/Cyber_Paradise/ WILL: Follow the Light: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3144860/WILL_Follow_The_Light/ Banned Together: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3551960/Banned_Together/ Love in the Time of Spellphage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3825300/Love_in_the_Time_of_Spellphage/ Virtue and a Sledgehammer: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3743260/Virtue_and_a_Sledgehammer/ Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3256150/Moomintroll_Winters_Warmth/   Sources: https://www.ign.com/articles/after-a-relatively-quiet-the-game-awards-microsoft-says-it-has-a-packed-xbox-developer-direct-coming-in-january-2026 https://bsky.app/profile/anniemay.bsky.social/post/3ma6wi5kfvc2g https://bsky.app/profile/unburntwitch.com/post/3ma4ozsue5c22 https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/hardware-sales-and-physical-game-spending-in-the-us-just-had-the-worst-november-in-30-years/ https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/global-games-revenue-in-2025-is-expected-to-grow-7-5-compared-to-last-year-analysis-suggests/ https://bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-12-18/sony-s-naughty-dog-studio-orders-employee-overtime-on-intergalactic?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc2NjA4NTY0MSwiZXhwIjoxNzY2NjkwNDQxLCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUN0hDRFNLR0lGUEUwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJCMUVBQkI5NjQ2QUM0REZFQTJBRkI4MjI1MzgyQTJFQSJ9.jGluGdyZVa1EEBKJKLlY2aRo0tCwewmOk2TBd_9y2Iw

    Ep. 65 - 2025 “Queer” in Review

    2025 is almost over and I’ve invited Zoe, Ekamy, and Lloyd on to discuss our favourite moments from the year, as well as the many scandals. This is also a much more conversational and laid back discussion than most episodes, a kind-of “party” vibe, so join us for a laugh or two!   00:00:00 - Intro 00:12:57 - 2025 Year in Review   This episode was recorded on December 16 2025.   Follow True Avatars: Official website: https://trueavatarspodcast.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TrueAvatars Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/trueavatars.bsky.social Twitter: https://x.com/TrueAvatars Threads: https://www.threads.com/@trueavatars/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@true.avatars Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trueavatars/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569951551559   Guests: Zoe: https://bsky.app/profile/zoeleet.bsky.social Ekamy: https://www.twitch.tv/ekamy Lloyd: https://www.twitch.tv/lloyd_lloydster   Sources: Pixel art video Zoe mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC-8y2R6IxI https://x.com/LenteGameDev/status/1991473653771599957?s=20 The many podcasts we recorded throughout this year! :)
