A podcast interview with Aenne Schumann, narrative designer of the Arcade Spirits visual novels, about social justice, ADHD, and FMV games. The post Polygamer #126: Aenne Schumann of Arcade Spirits first appeared on Polygamer - A Podcast of Equality & Diversity in Gaming & Video Games.

It's that time of year again on the podcast, when the previews come thick and fast. Chris Hyde has been able to play some of The Quarry, and hopes are high from the rest of the podcast gang that it's a return to the Until Dawn type of game that helped the studio become so successful. Meanwhile Adam Cook has been playing a bit of Two Point Campus, and thinks people will be happy with the sequel so far. Lyle has been exploring the world of smaller games in Floppy Knights and Arcade Spirits, one of which is on Game Pass, so it's time to find out if they're crackers or crappers.

Welcome to Massively Affected, where I, Josh Silverman, bring on a guest and ask them the not-so-simple question: Why Mass Effect? This week I'm joined by Stephanie Bruneau, a talented artist and streamer, and also the voice of Iris in Arcade Spirits. On this week's episode, I talked to Stephanie about her experience diving into the Mass Effect series, and what it was like being an "early" fan to the series. We talked about filling in the gaps in the story through fan fiction, and her own experiences writing a slow burn romance for everyone's favorite Turian, Garrus Vakarian—and this was BEFORE Mass Effect 2 made him a canonical love interest! Through personal legacies and our growing histories, we explored much of the galaxy this week and the characters that form the backbone of it. If you enjoyed my conversation with Stephanie Bruneau, make sure to give her a follow on Twitter, check out her art on Instagram, and follow her on Twitch. Make sure you come back next week as I'll be chatting with my Bear Punch Media co-founder, Justin Stanley. If this is your first episode, make sure to check out the full backlog of episodes found on But Why Tho. As always, my thanks to Adam Leonhardt for his brilliant work making the Massively Affected logo, Julian Villarreal for his beautifully composed theme song for the show, and Mark B. Donica for helping me out by editing the back two-thirds of this season!

It's Resident Evil Village week! After covering some news items, Tab talks about their time with the Steam game Adios and Far Cry 5, and Joey gushes about Arcade Spirits (again) before getting into the weeds about Resident Evil Village. Our primary discussion is on our experience with grad school anxiety and how video games helped us, in some ways, cope with the stress and mental burden of grad school. As we mention on the show, these are our experiences, and while we certainly know that other grad students encounter similar issues, we recognize that our experiences are just that: our own. We'd also like to echo again that, while video games helped us quite a bit with anxiety, we both also benefitted greatly from therapy and other treatments/approaches. We recommend you explore several avenues if you are struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression. Asking for help can be the hardest part, we know, but it was an important first step for us. Having said that, if you'd like to hit us up with questions about grad school or PhD life (we're both in the English field), hit us up!

We talk about If Found, an Irish queer visual novel that's very good We talk about The Sims Online, and Sierra living in the sims forever I guess now. We talk about other Sim games, that aren't the sims, but sim, such as Arcade Spirits, a very gay game that's a delight. We talk about making an entirely queer neighborhood in the sims, as a collaborative fund raiser We talk about Drag Race UK, a glorified artist showcase We talk about the true beauty of the half-drag, and why you never see any of us from the waist down. We talk about the frustrating dichotomy between the treatment Drag Kings and Drag Queens

In this episode, I spoke to PeachyAenne, streamer and writer/narrative designer on Arcade Spirits and First Bite, about her day job as a veterinary nurse and practice manager.

¿Cómo era eso? El último Inside Xbox no fue la presentación que nos merecíamos... y tampoco la que necesitábamos. Habrá que esperar –a julio, en el caso de Microsoft y su Series X– para el evento digital que nos permita ilusionarnos con la nueva generación.

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean and Paul delve into the weeks gaming news, primarily the fallout of Xbox's lukewarm Gameplay Showcase. What was needed to really make it sing? Are Microsoft destined to make the same mistakes as the last generation? And what does this mean for PlayStation's future marketing for PS5? Will they hold back or pick up the pieces with a showcase of their own? Time will tell, there are excellent points made by Sean and Paul in this conversation so it's well worth a listen. Elsewhere a new Prince of Persia game was revealed! Well, kind of. We dust off our sands of time to decipher what the cancellation of Redemption meant for Ubisoft's subsequent output. Also, what is the Mafia Twitter account teasing? With a delightfully vague tweet tongues were certainly wagging as to what's next for the crime series and we try to figure out what it could all mean. We also discover that Paul forgot he watched the new Last of Us 2 trailer this week when we attempt to ask him about it. We also talk hands-on with Arcade Spirits, Sean *finally* starting Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Rossko jumping back into The Last of Us and The Eternal Castle Remastered, the shiny new version of a game that never existed. Finally, Sean returns with another 'name-that-game-by-the-character-list' Trivia Challenge, Paul tells us about his Game of the Year So Far, Rossko tries to explain the wonders of colonialism in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Yeah, you're going to want to listen to understand that statement....  | Theme Music – Don't Feel (So Low) – Mid-Air Machine. | Indie Corner Jingle written and produced by Sarah Finney | Podcast Edited and Produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Podbean.

I'm not generally a fan of visual novels. I played Arcade Spirits on a first impressions stream about a year ago and kept it installed because something about it made me think I'd want to come back to it, even though it was a visual novel. I recently finished it and was very pleasant surprised by the experience. I give an on the fly ramble review of the game and why despite it not selling me on visual novels as a whole, it's given me cause to look into them more closely in the future.

It's our Post-PAX Episode! We had a blast in Philly, and Gritty sought fit to spare us from his wrath, so we're here to tell you all about it. (Although Philly did do a number on my beloved Sabres last weekend. The universe is balance.) Topics range the gamut from: - My increased appreciation for cooking and mixology. - I'm a filthy, filthy liar - Getting rid of old board games - The trap of Career Envy, and being happy for others - Auditions - PAX Unplugged 2018!!! - Gender Identity and why it's important (Also, I dropped the pretense that I'll ever get these down to 30 minutes, so I'm just going to let the episodes be as long as they need to be.) Thanks for listening! If you like what you hear, you can find me on Twitter @JustChrisWood or on Twitch at the same user name. I'll be visiting family next weekend, but a new episode will come out on Monday on schedule. I also have some interesting ideas lined up for the future, including maybe an interview (!), so stay tuned.
