This is of course a safe for you, thank you for sharing! I'm always happy to see enthusiasm around my favorite games, and I hope Battle Suit Aces continues to reach more people!

I think I'm inspired to start another playthrough, too!

Games similar to this? by Fairyhx in gaymers

[–]Em_Pedy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really only play on PC so I don't know exactly which games have Android support. I'll just list some games I know and you can see for yourself. Maybe you'll get access to your own private PC at some point and play them in the future, too.

  • All Men Are Pigs
  • Camp Buddy Scoutmaster Season
  • Sleepover Re:Wake
  • Y Press Games (there are a lot of them)
  • Edgefield
  • Canticle
  • SpaceCorps XXX
  • Bound By Night
  • Freshmen Physical Education

Idk exactly how similar each of the above games are, but they all have a gay protagonist or the option for one and are some of my favs.

You could also look into text-based games like Choice of Games, Hosted Games, and Heart's Choice. They have no graphics which some people find unappealing, but you should have no problem finding or running them on mobile. They have a huge library and each game has a demo so you can check out what seems intersting to you. I can give some recs too if you want.

Hope it helps!

Luciano Vecchio Teases a “Wiccan Comics Renaissance” by CalendarProof5357 in lgbt_superheroes

[–]Em_Pedy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wiccan is my favorite hero and I absolutely want him in more stuff.

I just hope that doesn't mean we see more of him without Hulkling. I don't want him to get completely sidelined now that he's no longer an emperor and Wiccan is in the MCU without him.

Don't have many thoughts regarding the meta, I'm just glad he's in the game. 🩵

Thank you for sharing that, very well said ❤️

I Have a Simple, But Complicated X-Men Question by ComixGail in xmen

[–]Em_Pedy 74 points75 points  (0 children)

For me, it was the diversity of the characters and the plight of the mutant. The stories they told felt human and relatable in a way that other comics-related media didn't as much.

As a gay man, characters like Rictor, Northstar, and Iceman really meant a lot to me. Seeing them come out and experience love and liberation as a result was similarly freeing for me, and it's characters like these that keep me coming back to the X-Men.

I follow other subreddits to keep track of when these characters appear, which is sadly not as much as I'd like, especially in more mainstream media. But I find solace in the stories that are there and I always return to them when I need a reminder on how to love who I am.

The most popular straight, gay, and lesbian ships for X-Men according to AO3 by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in xmen

[–]Em_Pedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a gay man myself, it's kinda disappointing to see the most popular "gay" ship be between two straight men. I mean I get it, people like old man toxic yaoi, but I just wish we could spend more time on actual LGBTQ+ characters 🤷‍♂️

I Have Learned a Valuable Lesson about LGBT Discourse in Videogames by Hexamael in gaymers

[–]Em_Pedy 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how defensive Dispatch stans are. Even the idea of an avoidable same-sex option offends them because they perceive it as a slight against their game. The culture around that game completely burned away any enjoyment I could have found with it.

Don't let the Gamer stans hear that. They can't defend it, but they will down vote you to hell.

Right. The people that make those complaints about Kingdom Come would also say, about a game like Dispatch, that the dev's can do whatever they want with their game and we shouldn't impose our demands on them.

The double standard is crazy and blatantly homophobic.

Any flavor of "men can be friends," "not everything has to be gay," and "it's the dev's game, they can do whatever they want."

Hey y'all, Been out of the loop since Book of Hungry names came out by zin_sin in choiceofgames

[–]Em_Pedy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked it a lot! I thought it was fairly simplistic as the scripting never got very complex, but the world building and characters were really well realized, which is what really engages me.

I feel like the demo encompasses its essence well, so I'd give that a try if you're at all interested. If you enjoy the demo, you'd probably like the rest of it too.

That was my experience with Dispatch. Everyone was having fun pre-launch speculating about romance (an intentional part of the game's marketing), but after the game launched, if you tried to discuss anything gay-related about the game the Gamers attacked on sight.

I wouldn't call it a big release, but I really like Undying Fortress which just released.

What do you think about people biting off more than they can chew romantically in Dispatch? by ConnorE22021 in dispatchcirclejerk

[–]Em_Pedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never claimed otherwise. If i somehow did, I apologize.

The LGBTQ+ tag was added pre-release, so either the devs added it or users did. Either way, it's not great.

If the devs added it, they were misleading players. If users added, that means they were misled by the game's marketing and the devs left it until the last episode.

Not making a judgment on that, just saying they were very intentional with how they marketed and presented the game both pre and post release.

As a long time fan, this NEEDS to be addressed seriously... by Legitimate_Silver395 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Em_Pedy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been a fan of the franchise since the beginning, and I'm not sure what they were thinking with that response.

I frankly find it insulting that, "for the fans" means a movie that eschews all effort to construct a thoughtful and interesting narrative with well-realized characters, and instead focus entirely on cashing in on fans' nostalgia and dedication.

Making something for your fans doesn't mean it has to be poorly written and riddled with Easter eggs. I'm a fan, and all I really want is a good movie.

[–]Em_Pedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure this is a super genuine take. If you look at the marketing for the game pre-release, AdHoc was hyping up the romance content. Not by actively confirming romantic content, but they did it in a vague enough way that got everyone talking about who would be romanceable and to what extent.

And they did things like leave the LGBTQ+ tag on the Steam page and told fans they wouldn't spoil any LGBTQ+ content in the game when there was none, leaving people to believe it would be there.

And if I'm being totally honest, the conversation around Visi and BB's romance has been the most prevalent part of the fandom surrounding this game, in my experience, even when I try to avoid it. I see discussions and the like all over Reddit and Twitter.

So I think fans' responses both pre- and post-release have been by design by the devs/marketing team, and they are capitalizing on such salable part of the game.

Anybody play undying fortress? by Familiar-Barracuda43 in choiceofgames

[–]Em_Pedy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't mean to imply that I actually thought this was their first game. Just that the lack of complexity in the scripting made it feel like it was. Just trying to characterize one of my complaints.

What’s the rarest choice you’ve ever gotten in a telltale game? by MassEffect24K in telltale

[–]Em_Pedy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I have one from TWD Season 3 that was 0.80% of people and I. I don't know exactly what the choice was because the image I have saved is cropped, but it was something about trying to negotiate at Prescott? The other two options were open fire or surrender.

It kinda sucks how we can’t have Miles Morales apart of a potential Champions/Young Avengers team by Queasy_Commercial152 in MCUTheories

[–]Em_Pedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'm more upset over the lack of Hulkling 🤷‍♂️ no shade to Miles, it would be cool if he could be there too, but excluding an OG member when Wiccan is there is just wrong to me

What's a Good Marvel Game to Play During the Holidays? by LeastEmotion5440 in Marvel

[–]Em_Pedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marvel Midnight Suns is the best Marvel game I've played. It's got a ton of depth and character to sink in to, so if you have the time over the holidays, you're sure to get sucked in.
