EP23: Questing Queens
Episode 23
Saturday, 12 October, 2024
In episode 23 we talk about games and being gamers. We explore what makes one a gamer, the different types of games we engage in (board, video, TTRPG) and our feelings around the label and the activity.Key Takeaways 1. The label of "gamer," like "artist," can be difficult for us to claim. When we examine why, we see that we sometimes feel too casual about it, believing we don’t invest enough time or effort to deserve the label.2. We find that gaming serves as a social activity. Both video games and board games allow us to bond with friends and family, whether through collaboration or competition.3. We notice that we have personal judgments around gaming being a lesser or wasteful hobby. So we try to remind ourselves that: A. The artistry of games in terms of storytelling, visuals, and mechanics is valid. B. Playing games gives us chances to experience and work through emotions, helping us develop resilience. C. Games put us in unique scenarios that can be cathartic. D. Gaming enables us to build skills and potentially hone our own storytelling.4. In both art and gaming, we find that the process, so the storytelling and the journey, is just as important, if not more so, than the win or level-up moment.Write to use about your favourite games at notarealartistpodcast@gmail.com, feel free to share this podcast with a friend and remind them that they have just lost the game Hosted on Acast.
