It has been exactly one year since the first episode of this podcast launched, and this episode is the biggest one we’ve ever recorded!

For the first third of the show, it’s just me, Zoey, your host and producer! I talk about the podcast’s birthday, what I’ve been playing, and the news!

In terms of news, there were a lot of gay happenings in the gayming space: Witcher season 4 has a release date and one of the trailers of all time, Randy Pitchford *really* doesn’t want to fix Borderlands 4 on PC, a queer indie game has been brought back from the dead, Mass Effect’s tv show had a casting leak, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment has a little bonus for you!

For the main segment, Ekamy and Lloyd are back! And we are ranking the biggest queer games based on how gay they are! S tier is “unquestionably gay,” and D tier is “basically a headcanon.” Are we right? Are we wrong? Get those torches and pitchforks ready, True Avatars, because we ranked a whopping 75 gaymes!!

To wrap up this massive episode, Ekamy brings a new Queer Game of the Week!
