In Episode 12 of the Safe Space Podcast, Rosie talks to Nigel Twumasi from Mayamada about his latest campaign: Do I Look Like a Gamer, and the importance of representation and diversity in games. We discuss the stigmatisation around the word "gamer" and the general associations with the word, and touch on how attitudes are changing around gaming and mental health. Of course, we have to talk games, and I won't lie... a small (large) portion of the podcast may have focused around God of War and we have zero regrets. It's TOO GOOD.
