The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time’s Sheik Is Nothing Without Their Androgyny

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time’s Sheik Is Nothing Without Their Androgyny https://ift.tt/gJ9SmwY As a transgender woman and someone who doesn’t conform to their birth gender, there are a handful of characters throughout video games who I treat with a certain level of reverence.  During my "firmly still in the closet" teen years, I found myself fascinated with Guilty Gear’s Bridget , as they blurred the lines between masculine and feminine long before their queer identity would be cemented into canon. Vivian from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door proved equally impactful thanks to a personal arc that reinforced the woman she wanted to be and always had been. Though neither explicitly stated their queer narrative intentions, my growing mind subconsciously read between the lines, regardless: Both offered quiet forms of queer representation that, decades later, still rings true.

Co-op Roguelike Guntouchables Is Out Today, And Free To Keep For 24 Hours

Co-op Roguelike Guntouchables Is Out Today, And Free To Keep For 24 Hours https://ift.tt/xoO7K6Q

Guntouchables, a co-op roguelike doomsday shooter, has just launched into 1.0 on Steam with a hefty discount. How hefty? Well, it's 100% off! Now, that does come with the catch that you have to pick it up within the first 24 hours of launch, which started at 12 AM PT / 3 AM PT / 8 AM BST / 9 AM CEST, so you'll have to figure out how many hours you've got left yourself. Once you've claimed the game, it's yours for life, but if you miss out after the 24 hours are up, it'll revert to the still-pretty-affordable price of $5.

For those that haven't heard of Guntouchables before, it's a roguelike where the "entire world has fallen and the surface has been overrun by a hostile and aggressively evolving horde of mutants. Well, not entirely." That last part is in reference to a group of preppers, i.e. the characters you play as, who are tasked with defending their doomsday residence from the mutants. You can either play solo, or with up to three of your friends.

The game is mission based, and between missions you and the group you're playing with vote on a random selection of mutations the mutants can develop, making them harder to deal with--on the flipside, you also get some bonuses that also differ depending on your choice. There are also class-specific perks to upgrade throughout your runs, and the ability to mod your guns to suit how you like to play.
