Visual Novels? Sind bei uns an der Tagesordnung. Match-3-Spiele? Öde. „Heartspell“, das ausgerechnet diese beiden Genres kombiniert, hat uns aber hellauf begeistert.

On my way between the train and one of my lovers there are quite a few restaurants. 🥢🍴
Today when I walk by I suddenly spot my friend/ex,Purple Tiger, leaving a restaurant, followed by another friend/ex, Manned Wolf. We were all surprised and hugged and talked for a few minutes. 😊
I think they might have been on a date but they only responded with "dinner" when I asked why they hung out. Time will tell and I wish them well 💖

In der 50. Folge von „Random Encounters“ sprechen Gloria und ich über ein Spiel, das sich beeindruckend feinfühlig und nuanciert mit einem sehr, sehr schweren Thema befasst: Sexueller Missbrauch in der Familie.

Dem Visual-Novel-Aufbausimulations-Hybrid „Wednesdays“ gelingt dabei der Balanceakt zwischen nötigem Ernst und heiteren Tönen, und er bietet Hoffnung für Menschen mit posttraumatischen Belastungsstörungen.

How To Run A Dungeon - Fixing The Lost Mine of Phandelver — Domain of Many Things

Fight me!) The issue here i

Deren Thema haben wir eine ganze Weile vor uns hergeschoben, weil es wahnsinnig komplex, fordernd, und für uns potenziell auch gefährlich ist. Denn der öffentliche Diskurs um sexualisierte Gewalt in den Medien und speziell der Pornografie wird überwiegend aggressiv und unsachlich geführt.

Wir möchten dieser Entwicklung etwas entgegensetzen, haben dafür zahlreiche Interviews geführt, Studien gewälzt, und intensiv über unsere eigenen Moralvorstellungen nachgedacht.

Today we recorded one of our longest #RandomEncounters episodes to date, but the complex topic of sexualised violence in adult games simply required it.

We discussed studies, sexual health, kinks, politics, and quoted the experts who kindly gave us interviews.
