Celebrate Pride Month with Games!

It’s Pride Month this June, and we highlight another year of inclusiveness positively impacting the games industry.

We also recently interviewed Jeff Petriello on our podcast, a game producer at the New York Times who gave us insight into what makes building games at unprecedented levels.

Five game insights we think will pique your interest!

Speaking of our previous guest, Jeff Petriello also made a twist to the normal tarot. Introducing Pasta Tarot—a reimagination of modern tarot through the delicious world of pasta and Italian-American tradition.

Looking for LGBTQIA+ games to play for this month? Then here are six games to choose from! From the farming and exploration sim of Coral Island and Stardew Valley to the social simulations of Monster Prom and Dream Daddy, the thing you’re looking for might be among these games!

Planning to make Pride Month more visible within the office? Here are 25 ideas you can pitch or implement to celebrate within your co-working space! Personally, we think the dress code idea and the trivia games are more accessible for everyone and there’d be less stuff to clean up within the office as well.

Pride Month gaming can leave you very hungry, but that doesn’t mean you should let your health and nutrition fall behind. Not to worry, as this rainbow chicken salad is an ideal snack or very light meal that can be made fast and eaten fast so you can get back to gaming ASAP!

Games are now a very strong medium to promote inclusivity and progressiveness in the modern world. In the past, they were just pastimes or tech experiments. Still, with how society and technology have evolved, games are now both an escape from reality and a way to convey a powerful and positive message.

And to that, we share the words of Meghan Trainor, American singer and songwriter:

“I have a deep love for video games because they help me escape reality and go into a completely different world.”

That’s it for this week’s newsletter! We’re going full steam ahead with our uploads to our YouTube channel, so if reading our blogs and listening to our podcasts aren’t enough for you, then take tide to unwind and watch our videos at your leisure.
