We talked about Easy Level Life, navigating gaming as a black femme, black lives matter, and the lack of representation and more with Yvvy along with guest co-host JP Fairfield Trigger warnings for this episode: violence, police violence, murder, use of the N word, racial violence. We have tees, and other items in the #INeedDiverseGames spreadshirt shop. We’re splitting the profits 50/50 with @Chachibobinks. There’s a blog to compliment the show!

In general, do you think games as a medium can be effective as an advocacy tool? Have you actually seen it work? @Tenji95 Yvvy wanted to use gaming in order to create representation, thus increasing empathy. Seeing as Police Brutality is one of the topics addressed here; what other topics do they see games taking on to address? What are the benefits of using gaming as a platform to increase empathy? Its' shortcomings? I'm currently learning JavaScript ( I have minimal HTML/CSS thanks to CodeAcademy) JavaScript has been hard to learn due to the multiple classes I already handle, both online and offline. Is there an alternative, or do I just power through?My primary operating system is Chrome OS. Is there an app that can run/emulate PC games; because I'd really like to support this endeavor! (Seeing as I can't donate) @Thain1982: What drove the choice to show police violence targeting uninvolved bystanders to brutality already underway? A lot of parents actively avoid games with child death or peril. Who do you hope plays Easy Level Life? (followup) Is a player's act of conscious avoidance actually a part of what you are hoping to communicate?
