Mental health is an important topic most people come across sooner or later. Joined by the wonderful BijouBat we go over specific examples of representation of mental health issues done wrong and right! Minor SPOILER Warning for Stardew Valley, skip ~ 50 sec if you don't want to listen. Other games mentioned are: Celeste, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Night In The Woods, and more. The conversation was recorded in one sitting and is meant to be listened to completely, don't miss part 1! It's a very meaningful topic for both of us and we hope you'll not only enjoy it as much as we did, but also find a lesson and inspiration in our words. Take care ♥

Mental health is an important topic most people come across sooner or later. Joined by the wonderful BijouBat we establish a foundation and share our personal experience on the topic before talking about specific games and their depiction of mental health issues. The conversation was recorded in one sitting and is meant to be listened to completely, you'll LOVE part 2! It's a very meaningful topic for both of us and we hope you'll not only enjoy it as much as we did, but also find a lesson and inspiration in our words. Take care ♥

Why does it even matter who we play? For this episode I was joined by the wonderful EvaUnaLove, who you can find at twitch.tv/evaunalove , to discuss and talk about our experiences on that topic. Intro Sequence until 6:00, if you wish to skip it. Starting with a little smalltalk we will go over a lot of different topics including games like: Pokemon, League of Legends, Overwatch, Tomb Raider, and more. Which characters did inspire us, and which failed to? When did we feel invited into the world of a game? What would we wish for the future? And at the very end: What can we learn from all of that? The intro was heavily inspired by Skyrim, made and published by Bethesda. Soundeffects by "Sword Coast Soundscapes", YouTube. Special thanks to: Lowrain and NalloVint for helping with the script, My friends Evy, Munk, as well as Lowrain and Nallo, for their awesome support everywhere, OpteeMystic, who did the Art for the podcast AND twitchchannel.

Serving as an introduction I'm talking about the motivation and goals of the podcast!
