Through the wonders of the internets, games don’t have to be a communal experience in an (oftentimes cramped) living room. Why would we want to go back to having to lug around systems, controllers, or--heaven forbid--sharing snacks and couch space with others to play a game? Intimacy. Connection. And even, for us older folks: a little nostalgia. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/intelligameus/message Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Video games often offer a seemingly simple resolution to conflicts: just fight it out! You mad bro? Time to squad up. The gods got you down? Boy, come here and bring my ax.

 The Good Ship IGPC hasn’t quite fully returned from hiatus, but we’ve got some special bonus episodes for you in the meantime! These upcoming Intelligame Podcast extras vary in format, but tell important stories. Hope they get you excited for the return of the IGPC! ----- CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of trauma, abuse, and mental health. Rina Purdy hitchhiked her way to PAX South 2019 to showcase her game, Floating Wonderland. A nomad partially by necessity, she found her way from Vancouver, BC to San Antonio, TX then flew to Spain almost directly after. Bubbly and good-natured, she’s kept working on her game even while dealing with homelessness and more.  During the interview, we talk about her life, her game, and her dream of making a dev studio out of a double-decker bus in London. We also talk about some of the resiliency she’s cultivated over the years, and the ways her struggles help her overcome adversity...including some that comes up directly during the interview. ------ Find more Intelligame content at https://intelligame.us (https://intelligame.us/).
