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.)

there is so much overlap between ADHD and autism (and so many people who fit the criteria for both) that it's likely they will eventually end up being reclassified as related orders, or as members of the same spectrum. this is a good thing that will make it easier for people to get an accurate and helpful diagnosis! in the meantime, I'm so proud of how much solidarity I see between ADHD and autistic folks online. I see ya'll pooling resources and sharing tools & coping strategies, and just generally offering support and acceptance, and I am so proud.

This made me so happy. Never give up and follow your dreams.

Can you take my white ass to target

would it be possible to make a custom keyboard that has keys specifically designated for emojis? like i want to be able to just press on 💀 with a keyboard

Yeah. Logitech even made one! The Logitech Pop.

But generally any keyboard running a QMK or related firmware (so nearly all mechanical keyboards) can do this.

You can also just install WinCompose and set up a key combination to let you type whatever. I use caps lock for mine, like caps lock a " writes out ä. You could tell it to make caps lock+s to write 💀
