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.)

ADHD and autism spectrum is funny in a way that isn't funny. Like hello, welcome to society, your brain is hardwired to function the most efficiently within certain parameters you'll almost never end up in. You're either so good at switching subjects that other people don't enjoy talking with you, or you're so good at sticking to the same subject that other people don't enjoy talking with you. Fuck you and good luck.

Why Bruce Wayne Is Autistic

i am 100% convinced this man is autistic. fight me. this post is specifically about battinson, but the other versions of batman also seem autistic to me (i am autistic myself so i should know). btw this is just my interpretation of what we saw of him in the movie, so sorry if any of this is wrong maybe i am just bad at analyzing stuff-

disclaimer: ignorant and ableist comments will be deleted

warnings : none

he is very soft spoken

monotone voice

eye contact seems difficult for him (either very intense or not at all)

"inappropriate" staring

his face doesn't show much emotion (but his eyes are so expressive)

seems socially awkward (same tbh lmao)

doesn't laugh at jokes (or doesn't understand them?)

doesn't reply to others sometimes (it could be that he's nonverbal occasionally or just needs more time to think of an answer)

needs to be reminded to take a shower or eat

sensitive to light (wears sunglasses indoors)

high pain tolerance

strong sense of justice

black and white thinking (thinking his dad was either a bad OR good person, viewing gordon as a good cop)

notices small details/patterns that others don't

special interest could be being batman and protecting gotham or building tools/upgrading the batmobile

hyper-empathy but can't really express it (example: for the mayor's son or selina)

prefers working alone

rejects social norms (doesn't really try to sound polite, immediately starts speaking to alfred when he woke up)

other people treat him like he's some fragile being or a child (many autistic people get treated like that, sadly). alfred did this but i know he only meant well (which makes sense since he practically raised him). falcone did it too but in a condescending way

also this doesn't have to do anything with battinson but look at this comic panel (from "batman the imposter") :

When you really think about it, crochet and knitting are just organized methods of tangling yarn

QUEENS

I feel like we don’t talk about Bob’s hyperfixation on Cake enough lol. Literally so relatable

What age are you now, Orla? Fifteen. Yeah. You might want to think about wising up.

had to show you guys. he looks so unbelievably bad. for context he always gets shit crusted in his fur because he doesn’t maintain it so my mom decided to give him a haircut and wanted to even it out
