PEL Presents PMP#103: Queering Video Games w/ Naomi Clark

The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast

"Queering" doesn't just mean adding LGBTQ+ representation to games; it's disruption of norms through added player freedom.

Mark and guest co-host Tyler engage game designer Naomi Clark on sandbox games, character creation, how games train us, glitches, speed runs, and more, touching on The Sims, The Last of Us, Cyberbpunk, Mass Effect, and her own games like Sissyfight 2000 and the card game Consentacle.
