"It's happening in schools." There's a lot of seedy monetization methods in gaming, but game design students starting to think more and more about the ethics of them. @criticalplay of @resonym and @tiltfactor explains. "Save the Whales" out now bit.ly/3Egb4k5

In our 2019 study of political discourse, 78% of Americans said the use of 'heated or aggressive language' against certain groups made violence against those groups more likely. pewrsr.ch/2x0WXi3

On Art We don't have to measure all effects. Art can be art. BUT when we sit down with a goal - when designers want to say, "We can address these challenges with the art of games" we need to measure the microsolutions #gamezfestival

I think Buffalo is an amazing achievement by @tiltfactor. It is extremely easy to set up and use. But as you struggle to play it, it shifts your thinking. I’ve used it in my #gbl class with masters and doc students in education. More people should play this game!

Using Board Games to Help Fight and Understand Bias | KQED

Buffalo is the sort of game you'd pull out at dinner parties when the conversation lulls. But the game's creators says it's good for something else — subliminally reducing prejudice.

The card game Buffalo by @tiltfactor is such a fun and productive way to challenge stereotypes with young people. With the new school year, let's cultivate a culture of empathy. #GBL #empathy #middleschool #highschool
