Pixel People Panel #3 - Queer Representation in Game Characters
In today's panel episode, my guests and I explore how queerness is represented in games, both positively and negatively, discussing topics like bi and ace erasure along with closeting and the effect it has on a person, as well as a hopeful look toward the future. This year's Pride has been marked by both celebration and sorrow, and as the month winds up, it's never been clearer that now is a time for the entire queer community to protect, support, and validate each other, and lift each other's voices. Please note that challenges during this mu...

Raul Tejada | Fallout New Vegas | Ageism
When the bombs fell in 2077, Raul Tejada was living with his family on a ranch in rural Mexico. His journey from Mexico through Arizona and west to the Mojave was filled with loss, much of which he blames himself for, and he carries these losses, his self-blame, and his own internalized ageism wherever he travels—until he meets the Courier, who ultimately decides Raul's fate.
