The character uses the nickname Pocket. Just to be clear as far as I know Valve has not confirmed the character as being non-binary, but they have only used neutral pronouns for them, both on in-game text and on in-game voice lines. That feels so nice, because being a Valve game this will definitely be a big release, and having a trans character in the game cast is so huge. The game name is Deadlock by the way.

Any game characters you relate to as a trans person?

When playing Hollow Knight, I found myself drawn to the plight of the vessels. As a trans person who grew up in a religious fundamentalist environment, I saw pieces of my experience in these characters >!who were created to be denied any interiority and will of their own, and by extension gender, in service of fending off the apocalyptic calamity that was The Radiance.!<

I also always loved Sheik from Ocarina of Time, for obvious reasons lmao.

I would love to hear from others what kind of characters you related to :)

Does anyone know a chill/safe place to meet people to play Deadlock?

I've always wanted to get into Deadlock but filling with randoms can be exhausting. I've searched for Discords and found Queerlock but tbh the average age there seemed to be 17-22 (which is fine!!!) so I figured I'd put that on the backburner in case anything better was out there. Though I'd take basically anything at this point as long as it had adults regularly playing who aren't morally evil lol. I'd make something myself but obviously that'd be a lot rougher going. Please help if able, I wanna play this game so bad!!

A follow-up question about trans representation in our indie game

About a year ago, we came here, asking for advice about how to respectfully include a trans character in the lore of a game we're making - an open-world walking simulator/adventure sort of like "Everyone's Gone To The Rapture."

In this game, the player explores an island wherein 38 people used to live, and suddenly have disappeared. We have tried to be inclusive, with a fair representation of humanity - which, in our opinion - required a trans individual.

This individual is a post-transition trans man who was married to a woman, and an adoptive father to three children (including his wife's child from her previous marriage.)

When we last asked, we were given the advice of:

- Placing a trans flag somewhere on the individual's office bulletin board

- Placing a prescription for related medication

- Placing a Blåhaj placed somewhere around their home.

As we will be focusing on this individual's "locations" in coming weeks, I wanted to come back and ask your community if there was anything else we should include.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give!

We're Getting Olderer

Hopefully someone appreciates Distractible, lol. Y'all, I'm a 38yo transfemme about to be 39, and... tbh I am kinda sick of gaming dealing with ppl under like 25. I need some friends other than my partner, some ppl closer to my age who can chill tf out, not get tilted or start drama at the drop of a hat, have patience and respect ppl's time...

I've been doing competitive Pokémon Unite for a while, so maybe I'm a bit jaded at this point, lol. I play a wide range of games, so if you can play anything outside your current hyperfixation, we can probably figure something out. Even if we can't, then if you'd like to chill in vc and make some banter, I'm game. I'm an aspiring comedian, I can "yes and" whatever tf if you wanna ramble with me.

Some multiplayer games I play: FFXIV, pkmn unite, Overwatch, Marvelwatch, Kirby Air Riders, any survival-crafty thing, Civ 5/6, Absolum, Remnant2... PuyoTetris2? Have I covered all genres yet? Try me. If it's not Roblox, there's a good chance, lol.

Hii, been looking for friends to play some games with, or just chat, the games I usually play are Rocket League, Fortnite, Overwatch, GTA Enhanced (PC), No Mans Sky and Payday 2 (also own DBD, Castle Crashers and ROR2).

I'm autistic and sometimes a bit shy but I'm funny I think. My main language is portuguese, but I can also speak (or try) english. My spanish sucks tho.

26TM on ps5

Looking for friends to play with - or just connect in general! I've been putting a lot of time into Fallout76 so mainly looking to play that but I'm also open to jumping into something new. I also really like Dead by daylight, Warzone, spiderman, and any zombie related game I've definitely dabbled in.

I'm a bit shy at first but eventually a chatterbox!

Edit: Thanks for all of the support! We’ve now got a large enough group to where I’m comfortable closing recruitment for now (8 with a potential 3 more). See you guys next time I swing by!

(I’m 22 MTF. Saying this so the mods know I’m not cis lol) Does this count as a looking for group post? idk but I’m putting it under that because this ain’t so different from those “I’m X age and looking for friends” posts lol

REQUIREMENTS BELOW

Do people even do clans anymore? I don't know, but it's a good way for me to connect with others and share in a few of my closest interests!

Anyways, I'm Rachel, and the clan's name is Fireteam Gunlance. If you couldn't get it from the name, this is based (partially) on Monster Hunter. The other major game, if you're curious, is Halo since it's the FPS I'm currently into. However, this is a fully multi-game clan. Just because there's some "primary" games doesn't mean there's no room for other games! I know I want to use this to find people to play Marathon with as well, for example. Halo and Monster Hunter are just the primary games.

This clan is LGBTQIA+, disability, etc. friendly as well. I hope to make this a safe haven for those who may be like me: looking for a group to call their own but are having trouble finding places to fit in!

If you want to join, shoot me a DM! Either shoot it to me here or DM me on Root at theQueen_of_Defense (you may need to send a friend request) and we'll have a chat! If you're chill and willing to pitch in, you'll likely get in! I just don't want to overfill the server and cause everyone to get overwhelmed. That can kill a server, y'know? I hope to cap it around 20 members, but we'll play it by ear.

My timezone is EST, and I work from 1400-2230 Mon-Fri so I apologize in advance if it takes me a bit to respond lol

REQUIREMENTS (Basic, but might flesh these out later):

  • 18 or Older
  • Play either Halo or Monster Hunter (platform doesn't matter, but PC recommended) (games in the series don't matter, but Wilds, World, Infinite, or MCC recommended)
  • Don't be a fucking bigot
  • EST RECOMMENDED, BUT NOT REQUIRED
  • If you play Marathon you get bonus points, but also not required

35 mtf UK - looking for friends to play coop games with

Hi ^^ my names Henrietta and I was hoping to find/make a group to play coop games with like vermintide, darktide, space marine, drg, night reign, maybe that new far far west or Diablo likes. I like games like that but playing them solo kinda feels like a grind so I never make it very far, hoping to find people to goof around with and make them even more fun :)

I am a deeply unserious person, kinda shy and awkward especially when it comes to vc but will do my best! I’m also a fan of warhammer, anime and cosplay if you want to chat about them too

Hope we can be friends :)

I beat Castlevania Dracula X (Super Nintendo)

This game is commonly known for 2 things: it's insane price tag, and being the inferior counterpart to Rondo Of Blood

I first played it when I got the Castlevania Advanced Collection on PS4 a few years ago (crazy to think about it) as it's included as a bonus game, I didn't get very far into it

Then I felt the urge to play it again and then unbeknownst to me I'd end up beating the whole game

I actually really enjoyed it, obviously it's not as good as Rondo Of Blood, and it's definitely got it's cheap moments, but it was fun to play and I liked some of the little callbacks in the level design

It is brutal ofc, the series is known for that, but with save states and rewind it makes it easier to appreciate this game as an alternative remix to Rondo Of Blood, also the soundtrack is incredible

Would definitely recommend the Advanced Collection as it not only contains this game but the 3 GBA Metroidvania titles as well, but honestly I'd recommend you grab all the Castlevania collections, they did a great job with them and they're outstanding games for the most part, brutal but uber satisfying 🩷

Hi,

I'm looking for older trans gamers (35+) looking to play a survival, FPS or action RPG together. We could meet once a week at night to play for a few hours. I'm open to several games, but it must be on PC to make it easier. Here are some ideas:

- Ark Survival

- Day Z

- 7 Days to Die

- Elden Ring

- Enshrouded

Reach out if interested
