Sierra Myst, Dona Tarte, and Amethyst Millennia start off DRAGCade with a... recap episode? In the beginning, we look 10 years into the past, before DRAGCade was even a nascent dream, and examine the things that inevitably led up to this cultural touchstone that you listen to today; Pokemon, and it's novelty in the world of the now; Overwatch, and it's continued efforts to stay relevant; Friday the 13th is dead, long live Dead By Daylight. Games of the year, including, Pokemon, Control, and the Resident Evil 2 remaster. We talk about the Switch, and how it's accessibility has changed gaming for those who are on the move more often and have less time to sit down with consoles or pc games. We talk breath of the wild and the varying satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the 'ya-ha-ha' moments. We talk about Indie Games and the development of them over the past decade. We talk about queer representation in larger-scale multiplayer games. We talk about Drag Race and Drag Race UK and the upswing of drag in popular media. We touch briefly on carving out space in the niche of drag artists on the twitch platform.
