Episode 49 - Naked Snakes and Autumn Gaymes

September 1, 2025 • 93 mins

It’s September, which means we’re on the cusp of an avalanche of new releases… but that also means an avalanche of new queer games! There’s basically one every week until the end of November! That’s wild right? I wonder what all those games are! What if there was a podcast that discussed all of these games in one convenient place? Oh wait!

For the first half of the episode, it’s just me, and I also cover a bunch of headlines: Microsoft and The First Descendent are doing some scummy things with AI, PlayStation and Xbox have improved their offerings for once, Stardew Valley is getting yet another content update (does Concerned Ape sleep?), and a classic queer game got shadowdropped on modern platforms.

Oh, and yes, there is more troublesome news on the payment processor/censorship front, because our descent into fascism hasn’t progressed far enough.

In the second half, Bettie returns from episode 26 with her partner to compare and contrast the new Metal Gear Solid Delta remake with the original – and we also talk about exactly how gay everyone is!

Also, there’s news on the future of the podcast! ;)
