This article is breaking the stereotype of the gamer population.

Not only is the gender divide very even, it also mentions that there are just as many people age 50 and older playing games than those under 18!

@graceleaf_ They know success when they see one 🤔
But damn sorry to hear and hope it gets resolved peacefully!

[Ara Jung @arajung94]

Anyone know of autism support groups in the games industry? Looking to connect our autistic young adult interns to those in the field and speak to them during the program!

If not, then any neurodiverse recruiters in the field? We need more efforts to help them get hired 🙏

My mom joked around saying she made her hair extra curly to scare people off, and I laughed. It's no longer funny because of stories of Asian women being shot, and it genuinely scares me that this is a threat that my family needs to live with. What an eye opening experience.

@heyglitch This whole morning I couldnt do ANYTHING... please someone make it go away 😔
