I had the absolute joy and privilege to play @ScryptidGames/@natmesnard’s Ball of the Wild on Sarah’s Table with @PixiesAndPins. It’s a warm hug of a game where you play animals performing in drag as other animals and I completely adored it!

New essay up on @CatapultStory about #TheLastOfUs thanks to @ProfessorTMR @natmesnard and @queerworldspod for the conversations behind this piece and to @tajjaisen for the always-awesome editing!
Most apocalypse stories, @allsoils argues, are fixated on trying to restore the world as it was. Can HBO's "The Last of Us" be any different when the source material isn't? Read the essay here: catapult.co/stories/nino-mcq…
