Episode 20 - Psychroma & Raptor Boyfriend: The Games of Rocket Adrift

This week I’m joined by a returning guest, Lloyd_Lloydster (he/him), who’s here to help me cover a busy week of news stories! Headlines include how tariffs might affect the games industry, lots of Nintendo Switch 2 news, and how “Kingdom Come Deliverance II” has some queer representation! Plus so much more.

In the second half, it’s just me, as I talk about my thoughts and reactions to playing two very cool and very queer video games: “Psychroma” and “Raptor Boyfriend: A High School Romance.”

These games were developed by a small indie team called Rocket Adrift, who consist of trans, black, and neurodivergent game devs!

I’ve had a bunch of requests for more queer game recommendations, and both games are at the top of my list — come listen and find out why!
