Continuing this month's spooky theme, the discussion this week centers around queer characters in apocalypse settings and why they seem to be so much more prevalent in these types of games than in others. Some games hit the mark, some miss it but with good intentions, and others make concessions to get queer characters into games at all. Which are the best ways to increase queer representation of quality in gaming? The Last of Us Pt. II Articles are linked below.

Though it gets a bad rap, mobile gaming is able to reach a much wider audience than console or PC gaming and can provide experiences unique to the platform. We break down some of our favorites mobile games and how we think they impart educational, impactful lessons that only they can.
