You Can Now Play the First LGBTQ Computer Game, For the First Time

‘Caper in the Castro’ was thought to be long lost.

Caper in the Castro is a legendary video game, not because legions of die-hard fans continue to play it, but because it was thought to be lost forever. Now, what is largely considered to be the first LGBTQ-focused video game (it was released in 1989) is on the Internet Archive for anybody to play.

The game is a noir point-and-click that puts the player in the (gum)shoes of a private detective named Tracker McDyke who is, in case you couldn’t guess by the name, a lesbian. McDyke must unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of Tessy LaFemme, a transgender woman, in San Francisco’s Castro district, an historically gay neighbourhood.

OOOOOHhh!

The game was released as charityware – freely, with a strong request to give a donation an AIDS Charity of their choice. I’d like to push towards still following that and donating, if you’re able.

(And you might also want to donate to the Internet Archive, who is hosting it now, while you’re at it – they’re in the middle of a donation drive, and could use your support.)

I think part of the problem with making johnlock canon is that (straight) writers think it needs to be this grand, heteronormative romcom story arc when most johnlock shippers literally just see the dynamic they already have as romantic. Especially in podlock's case of sherlock being audhd, OBVIOUSLY a romantic relationship wouldn't necessarily look the same as a quote unquote cishet neurotypical relationship. They would just carry on like they have. They're already living that dynamic. Only difference might be that john pops a kiss on top of sherlock's head as he passes him by, or sherlock just follows john around the house for no reason and sits waayyy too close to him (these things already happen lol), or cherry on top they say love you to each other before leaving the house. It would NOT BE A BIG DEAL. It would hardly change the way they speak to each other, and not at all how they interact with mariana or their professional relationship. Because that is just who john and sherlock already Are to each other. It's lichrally just about one day a writer finally caring enough to give it this ""new"" perspective.

Guess who’s been listening to Sherlock & Co.

John bought Sherlock a copy of Ace Attorney because he thought it would be funny, and it has been the single most frustrating thing in Sherlock’s life since. He’s far too stubborn to stop playing, but the (lovingly) idiotic logic might be the end of him.

This is such a silly and quick comic, but it came to me in a vision. I love ace attorney, and I’ve really enjoyed Sherlock & Co so far but I do not think they would mix At All.

IM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND

[jasperscringepit]

So, Sherlock & Co. Huh?

I’ve become completely immersed, which is surprising bc I normally struggle to listen to podcasts. I’ve been listening whilst drawing over the summer, and I’ve fallen in love. Well-written autistic representation means so much to me, and this podcast does it so so well.

This is my personal interpretation of pod!Sherlock, I hope you like him!!

[keyntac]

ok so im really normal about this interpretation of sherlock i swear

had this idea that he just lets his hair grow really long because to get it cut anywhere is sensory hell. eventually it just gets so long the itchiness gets too much and triggers a meltdown and he cuts it all off and now its super curly because its short again. After this john learns how to cut hair..

the whole podcast honestly just gets a lot of the experience correct. and as much as i like johnlock i do really hc these two as platonically married in this pod, aroace sherlock will just always be my fav shit. i could honestly ramble about my hcs for various sherlock media all day lol

anyway listen to this podcast plzplzplz

Not Pictured: Sherlock and Mariana realizing John wasn’t expecting that response and comforting him (and making fun of him a little <3)

THE trio ever

[4thelneyjones]

My friend said sherlock would like watching fireworks, and john could cover his ear defenders for added soundproofing, and i said absolutely, youre so right.

Anyway happy new year 🎊🥳🎉

Idea credit to me pal @sherlockwatsons

Edit: i forgot johns beard 😭

[player-tag]

what i think got me so hooked on sherlock and co is that john is actually useful. as in, useful for sherlock and not just the audience. 

usually, john is only there as a sort of device for the writers to show the audience what sherlock has deduced, and he doesn't actually usually help that much, and even when he does, its something sherlock could have done himself. 

john, in s&co, is useful. the "no SHIT!!! sherlock!!!", the listening to the golden pince-nez audiobook while sherlock worked out because they were short on time, helping catch baker, explaining pop culture references, catching certain things that sherlock would have taken ages to catch because he simply isnt interested in them (like the football colours and the blue jacket to point out baker), the pointing out the american girls for the noble bachelor, explaining swingers and telling sherlock the thing that probably helped them catch browner, to name a few examples.

in sherlock and co, john isn't a plot device, he's a character.

dialogue from mailbag #5 (abridged)

[to-forgive-is-divine]

Something I really like about Sherlock & Co. which pissed me off about BBC Sherlock is the way the writers approach Sherlock's social skills. In BBC Sherlock, he's constantly being purposely rude to people, berating them for not being smart enough or not understanding how all the clues would fit together in a case. He is not socially unaware enough to not understand the effects of his own words, and he understands that he is considered rude most of the time. Sometimes he's a downright asshole for no reason. It's usually played off for laughs, and I didn't mind it the first watch. But as I rewatched a few times, I begun to notice the issues with it.

With Sherlock & Co, however, Sherlock's social deficit is much more realistic. He knows how to mask, he knows how to pretend to be quote on quote 'normal,' but it's terribly exhausting for him. He sometimes masks when he's trying to get information during a case, and even when talking to John's mother. (And afterwards he comments on how tiring that was.) Although it was adorable how badly he wanted to make a good impression. When he does manage to miss a social cue he can come off as rude, but definitely not on purpose. He does not berate John or Mariana for not being clever enough. He is relatively polite to his clients, or he does the best he can. (Unlike BBC Sherlock who often dismisses cases for being too boring or insulting them outright.)

Anyway, that's my yap session for today.
