Levels of being canonically gay:

Character is undeniably gay in the text (Captain Jack Harkness, Oberyn Martell, Klaus Hargreeves, Colin Hughes, Clare Devlin, Max from Black Sails)

Character is explicitly gay but some people will miss it (Will Byers, Keeley Jones until season 3)

Character does gay things and feels no need to process their sexuality about it (anyone Russell T. Davies has ever written, Tony Stonem, Cassie Ainsworth, book Daenerys, Rhaenyra?)

The character doesn’t know if they’re gay, I don’t know if they’re gay, but we’re both wondering about it (Karma Ashcroft from Faking It. This category was created solely for her)

Character is gay by Word of God (Albus Dumbledore, maybe Matt Boyd from AFTG)

Character is gay only in off-handed jokes (Eleanor from The Good Place, Clara Oswald, Stiles Stilinski, Lily Aldrin)

Character reads as queer to queer audiences, whether or not author intended it that way or accidentally borrowed queer-coded tropes (Black Sails’s Jack Rackham, Michel for the original run of Gilmore Girls, Jamie Tartt, Jaime Lannister, Dean Winchester, Susie Myerson (LISTEN, I’M ON SEASON 2 SO JUST ROLL WITH IT)

Why Does He Describe Men That Way (Jon Snow talking about how pretty Satin is while literally in the middle of battle)

Character is gay only through intentional queer-baiting (i don’t have the balls to fill this one in, but you’re definitely thinking of one)

*Note: these levels aren’t perfect. Some characters fit into multiple categories, depending on your interpretation or what point in the story arc something happened. Stiles Stilinski could belong in at least 3 of these categories.

There’s also the people who are imperfectly queer. Willow Rosenberg calls herself a lesbian, but had meaningful romantic relationships with men and possibly would have been bisexual in a show written more recently.

Sega Genesis Game Pads and the Mode Button

I had a Sega Mega Drive (aka Genesis) as a kid, and also a 6-button game pad. Actually still have, but I haven't used them in forever.

The 6-button controller has shoulder-button labeled "MODE" and I only learned what it's for recently. When you hold it down while starting the console, it will disable the extra buttons and act like an old 3-button controller. Ok, that's pretty boring. The interesting part is why I didn't need to know that.

3-Button Controller

Basically, the 6-button pad Just Works because the 3-button pad already had one button too many. The controller uses a connector with 9 pins. One pin each for power and ground leaves you with 7, but it has 8 inputs: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, A, B, C, START.

To solve this, the controller contains a multiplexer. By setting the voltage on one of the pins, the console can select which inputs it wants the controller to report.

When voltage on the select pin is LOW, the controller indicates that it is present (so you can distinguish "no controller connected" from "no buttons pressed") and reports the state of the inputs UP, DOWN, A, START.

When voltage on the select pin is HIGH, the controller reports UP, DOWN (again), LEFT, RIGHT, B, C.

This makes it backwards-compatible with Sega's earlier console Master System, with B and C corresponding to buttons 1 and 2 on the MS controller, and A and START doing nothing.

The way a 3-button game normally interacts with the controller is that for each frame, the game briefly sets the select pin LOW, records the inputs, then sets it back to HIGH and records the rest. These are then the inputs for that frame. This is also called a pulse.

6-Button Controller

Instead of a multiplexer, the 6-button controller has a microcontroller that counts the number of pulses received. For the first two pulses, it behaves like a 3-button controller. Also, the counter resets after not receiving a pulse for 1.5 ms. That way, a 3-button game running at 60 fps that reads the controller once per frame will only see the behavior that it expects. Unfortunately, a small number of 3-button games don't behave this way (Ms Pacman for example), so that's why the MODE button is needed.

A 6-button-aware game interacts with the controller by rapidly pulsing it three times every frame. When the select pin is set LOW for the third time, a 6-button controller will indicate that it is in fact a 6-button controller. If a game isn't 6-button-aware and somehow gets the controller in this state, this looks as if you're pressing UP and DOWN simultaneously, so that's where the problems start.

When the pin is set to HIGH again, the controller reports the X, Y, Z and MODE inputs. So you can also use the MODE button as a normal game button. Only a handful of games do this though, and some of them only for cheat codes. (I actually happen to own one of them: Vectorman)

I just thought this is very hacky and also really cool! I wonder if I could manage to read out my old controllers with an Arduino or something!

Madonna and Dennis Rodman’s controversial cover for the June/July 1994 issue of Vibe magazine never hit the newsstands. The magazine's founder, Quincy Jones, blocked the publication. Madonna had arranged the photo shoot to meet Rodman. After the photo shoot, she conducted a 2-hour interview and they hooked up for the first time that day.

Quincy Jones:

On an early issue we had a real problem with a cover that had featured the Beastie Boys, whose most recent album had been delayed, and then didn't perform up to expectations commercially. We were only beginning to find out then how vital covers are to magazines' success. The next one, which Jon Van Meter had already shot, featured Madonna and Dennis Rodman. I said, "Over my dead body, because it makes it look as though we're pandering, that we're not sure Vibe can be a black magazine and make it." We'd misfired on the Beasties, so I was adamant, though technically Van Meter did not report to me and I had backed off on editorial matters after my initial involvement. It wasn't about Madonna or Dennis: it was about our not having been around long enough to establish a personality as an urban magazine. Van Meter was furious: he was gone after that....

When I called Madonna as a friend to explain that it wasn't at all personal, she took it personal and got an attitude about it. She said, "Quincy, you and I could change the world together if we wanted to. See you around, pal." Unfortunately, I don't think we've spoken since. Her publicist Liz Rosenberg then called Liz Smith, and before you knew it there was an item in Liz's column reporting that "Quincy killed the cover because it showed a mixed couple." Right. Me, of all people—pleeze!

We are excited to announce that Aaron Christopher Drown will be a guest at Ret-Con 2023! An author and

award winning graphic artist, check out the Guest Q&A below to learn more.

If someone was interested in your work, what would you recommend they check out first?

-

My new short story collection, The Gods Must Clearly Smile, would be a good place to start. It

runs the gamut of genres and I think makes for a decent primer on my work.

What is your most popular or best-reviewed work?

-

At the moment, The Gods Must Clearly Smile.

What are you working on right now, and will it be out by Ret-Con (the last weekend of February

2023)?

-

I’m working on the follow-up to my first novel, titled The Book of the Hated One. And no, it won’t

be ready by Ret-Con. In fact, I’m pretty sure my publisher thinks it will never, ever be done.

Who or what are your influences or inspirations?

-

My father loaned me a copy of the first novel I ever read, Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey, which

enthralled me. After that, Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy. But the book that set me on my path was

“The Sleeping Dragon,” by Joel Rosenberg. Ray Bradbury is a key influence, as is Fredric

Brown. And the work of Joseph Campbell is a constant source of inspiration.

What are you reading, watching, listening to, playing, or otherwise enjoying that you'd

recommend to Ret-Con attendees or your own fans?

-

Just finished The Night Circus by Erin Morgensten, and before that Project Hail Mary by Andy

Weir, The Once and Future King by T.H. White, and Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power by Jon

Meacham. I’ve just started This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger. On the flatscreen I’m

enjoying Severance, and despite the argle-bargle I’m thoroughly appreciating The Rings of

Power. On the music front, I’ve just discovered the band Wet Leg and can’t get enough of them.

Is there anything you'd like to share with our social media followers that isn't included above?

-

I’d never deny anyone the freedom to arrange their bookshelves by color, but if you do then you leave me no choice but to offer regular sidelong suspicious glances.
