Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny starts out with two characters, a brother and sister. You can play as male or female, but thanks to a magical accident, the other sibling will co-habit their twin's body near the beginning of the story. Both siblings can date bachelor/ettes, but the system only corresponds to "hetero" relationships. I guess, technically, the host body could be considered polyamorous? I haven't played more than a chapter or two into the storyline, however, since the only copy available to me is a library rental. I also enjoy interactive novels, the "choose your own adventure" stories. Usually, you can play as male, female, trans, non-binary, gay, straight, bi, or ace. However, the romantic interests in most of these games seem to be constrained to one or two character archetypes, which I find rather boring. Other than that, I don't know much more about LGBT representation in video games.

Just dried, whole grapes.

I had a blend called "Canadian Ice Wine". Black tea with freeze-dried grapes. Very tasty.

Hey, Buckie.

Hey, Cassie, my lovely queen! I never would've thought tomatoes and sweet potatoes could go together.

A High Five for Glenn Burke, by Phil Bildner. I'm really looking forward to reading this one. It will be released February 11th, 2020. A sixth-grade boy does a class presentation on Glenn Burke, the inventor of the "high five" and Major League baseball's first openly gay player in the 70's. This project leads the tween on the path to discover some things about himself, as well.

A comic book of Ruel? I'd be the second subscriber to that magazine!

Looks very tasty.

@Comicality Ruel's response is pretty much the same as mine. Color me impressed. He looks so cute in uniform, though!

Indeed, it is.

Going well, thanks. I'm using my new deep dish pizza pans to make the classic Chicago deep dish pizza, and a "giant" cinnamon roll for dessert.

Hey, Albert.

Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches for Thistle* It's 38/3.3 here in Michigan, with 70% chance of rain. (It actually IS raining, currently.) There's absolutely no snow left on the ground. Poor Rory wanted to make at least one snowman this winter, but the snow disappeared too quickly.

@Comicality Awww, they look like the couple from "In a Heartbeat".

Hey, Albert. Just finished reading DomLuka's "Under the Mistletoe". Now I'm looking for gay-related Christmas stories on Amazon.

Hey, Albert. How are you and Steve?

Hey, Gary.

Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches for Thistle* I woke up quite a bit earlier than I normally do.

Hey, Mystic.

Hey, Drew. Your nephew sounds like a dedicated student.

@Comicality Instead of an ugly Christmas sweater, how about an ugly Christmas suit?

Yup. He had some chicken and a raw egg with mushrooms for his "brunch". I also got him some grubs from a bait shop. Oh, and a red rubber ball to play with.

I was so stuffed from brunch today, I couldn't be bothered to make dinner. Morgan and I just spent the last hour or so snuggling together on the sofa. No TV, no movies...not even any kissing or . We just made small talk about plans for tomorrow, cuddling in each other's arms. I woke up way too early today, and I have to work tomorrow, sadly. I'm going to bed early, and so, good night, everyone!

Cody Lovaas is incredible! How did I not see this one before?!! I'm also a fan of Lenni Kim! And here's a golden oldie from Declan.
