In this very special episode of the Compassionate Gaming Podcast, I am joined by 17 year old variety streamer Julius @juliyesg as we discuss his choice to walk the path of compassion as a streamer rather than engage with the toxicity that pervades video gaming in his demographic. It is so heartening to see this level of awareness, kindness and intentionality in somebody so young, and I think Julius is setting a wonderful example for others to follow 🩷👾 Along the way we discuss the profound effect that the genre of video games we engage with can have on us, as well as Julius’ fascinating insights from his experience playing Fighting games to a competitive level.

In this very special episode of the Compassionate Gaming Podcast, I am joined by Kristy from @cozycutieclub as we discuss what it means to lead a “cozy lifestyle”, and how it can guide us towards a softer, more easeful, fun and enjoyable life. Along the way we discuss fascinating topics like gaming shame and the power of cozy games to provide us with an antidote to the productivity obsessed “hustle culture” of today. Kristy’s intentions for cozycutieclub are so pure and beautiful, and it is no wonder such a wonderful, kind and supportive community is building around her. I hope you find listening to her as insightful and inspiring as I did whilst recording 🩷👾

In this very special episode of the Compassionate Gaming Podcast, I am joined by Izzy @xxizzygamergirlxx, as we discuss what it means to be a kind, compassionate and happy gamer, as well as the things that help us to get there. Along the way we discuss Izzy’s experience being a Call of Duty streamer, with all of its challenges as well as the many beautiful things it has brought to her life. It was so inspiring to listen to Izzy and her incredible commitment to kindness and love even in the face of behaviour that is far from these things. She is an inspiration and role model for us all and I am so grateful for the opportunity to have had this conversation with her and bring it to you all. Thank you for coming on the Podcast Izzy 🩷👾

In this very special episode of the Compassionate Gaming Podcast, I am joined by Game Developer, Matt Allen, as we discuss his soon to be released game about his lived experience with chronic fatigue called, ‘It’s not you, it’s M.E’. Having had the privilege of playing Matt’s game ahead of its release, I feel it to be an incredibly valuable resource to spread awareness about the impact this condition can have on people’s lives so that we can learn to understand and support those around us better. I hope that you find listening to Matt, his story and the details of this wonderful project as inspiring as I did whilst recording this episode 🩷👾 Thank you for coming on the Podcast Matt, your strength of character is beyond admirable!

You can play, ‘It’s not you, it’s M.E’ from the 12th of March at FACT in Liverpool where it will feature in the Art Plays Games exhibition until April 27th. If you are unable to get to the exhibition to play the game for whatever reason but would like to experience it for yourself, Matt has very kindly said he will share the game with you to play online so you can play it wherever you are in the world. You can find Matt on Instagram here: www.instagram.com/mattallenart

In this episode we discuss where anger comes from, and how it can arise when we play games. We then discuss how to manage these emotions, and maintain our peace of mind as we game and in every other area of life too.
