  • LEVEL 1-7. How Games Teach Us the Importance of Routine
    Sep 15 2021

    When we’re all living in an extended quarantine and coping with high levels of stress, video games can be a welcome reprieve from the real world. But when part of your escape becomes surrounded by toxicity, how do you cope?

    Joshua Lago joins me to talk about finding your place in a community that enjoys talking about games without being swept up in the negativity of it all. We also discuss some of the inherent issues of viewing video games as art, what that means for the community, and how some games find different ways to balance on that spectrum.

    Power Up:

    • Having a healthy pattern and routine can make all the difference during challenging times.

  • LEVEL 1-6. Depression is a Raid Boss
    Sep 8 2021

    Even the most positive forces you know can be dealing with the shadows of depression and self-doubt.

    Ryan Robinson is one of those people who you’d be surprised to learn the depths of where he’s been or what he’s had to deal with. Constantly a source of joy and support for others, it took forming his own party of support to tackle the raid boss of depression when he just couldn’t handle it on his own.

    Power Up:

    • Everyone is capable of overcoming their boss fight. If there comes a point where you’re not capable, make sure there’s someone in your life who can pick up the slack until you are.
