Caper In The Castro Is A Legendary Video Game, Not Because Legions Of Die-hard Fans Continue To Play

You Can Now Play the First LGBTQ Computer Game, For the First Time
‘Caper in the Castro’ was thought to be long lost.

Caper in the Castro is a legendary video game, not because legions of die-hard fans continue to play it, but because it was thought to be lost forever. Now, what is largely considered to be the first LGBTQ-focused video game (it was released in 1989) is on the Internet Archive for anybody to play.

The game is a noir point-and-click that puts the player in the (gum)shoes of a private detective named Tracker McDyke who is, in case you couldn’t guess by the name, a lesbian. McDyke must unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of Tessy LaFemme, a transgender woman, in San Francisco’s Castro district, an historically gay neighbourhood.

OOOOOHhh!

The game was released as charityware – freely, with a strong request to give a donation an AIDS Charity of their choice. I’d like to push towards still following that and donating, if you’re able.

(And you might also want to donate to the Internet Archive, who is hosting it now, while you’re at it – they’re in the middle of a donation drive, and could use your support.)

regarding the attempts to take down mohammed ayesh's campaign by zionists on the false claim that his campaign is fraudulent, i've spoken to him directly over the past few months. we've exchanged voice notes, i've heard the sound of drones in the background in his notes, he's sent me videos from where he'd been taking shelter explaining his situation in real time, he's shown me his process of verifying campaigns and has explained to me how hesitant he felt about making a campaign for to support his younger brother when he feels that there are many more gazans in need of all the support that they can get. he's been nothing but respectful and understanding since i've started talking to him.

if any of you zionist pigs really gave a fuck about supposed scams, i have ample evidence via our text and voice messages with him to prove he's really been working on the ground in gaza to verify countless campaigns. but obviously that's not what you racist pieces of shit are actually trying to do here, as if proudly endorsing a genocide isn't enough for you repulsive cunts, you're actively trying to murder palestinians in any way that you can, be that by propagandizing on behalf of a fascist settler colonial state or literally trying to cut off any source of income palestinians can rely on. go to hell.

a drawing of a movie poster where karin is the protagonist. she is standing on the right of the canvas with her gun, while the kaiser is on the bottom right corner walking away. the title of the movie, "The Kaiser Critique", is on the top left corner.

I was drawing karin when i got the idea of making the painting similar to a movie poster

im pretty proud of this drawing being my first post showcasing my art :)

Ramadan has come But this Ramadan is different from the previous one, as the atmosphere of Ramadan was happy and joyful, but this year Ramadan came mixed with the smell of blood, killing and destruction. Unfortunately, there is no longer any joy or happiness here. There is only sadness and destruction.

Please help us get through these difficult times. Your donation is very valuable to us, even if it is small. We need all the support and assistance in these difficult times. Please donate.

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.
