I had a good time with family, met my adorable nephew for the first time, relaxed on the beach, meal prepped, and got even closer to finishing <em>Persona 5<\/em>\u00a0(the end is so so close!).<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of this time, I thought some more about my gaming habits\u2014how they&#8217;ve developed and changed over time. I then gave some thought to the fellow women I know who game and to what extent we share in this activity. This topic might not be the most popular among those who play video games, perhaps some feel it&#8217;s been beaten to death, but I&#8217;d like to briefly offer some of my experiences.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a bit of the odd one out in my immediate family. I always had an interest in computers, fancy gadgets, and video games growing up. This interest and relative skill does come in handy when your mom can&#8217;t figure out how her tablet works, so I&#8217;m not judged too harshly. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never really sat down with my mom to talk about video games, but I have inferred a few things over time. I think that, in general, she views the act of playing video games regularly as a waste of time because of certain individuals she witnessed, or knows of, who are obsessed with playing and\/or let video games get in the way of adult responsibilities. Despite this, I know that as a teenager my mother loved to play <em>Pac-Man<\/em>. She loved it so much that she bought something like this plug and play <em>Ms. Pac-Man<\/em>\u00a0a few years ago:<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"5110\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/gamingteacher.blog\/2017\/07\/10\/reflection-women-gaming-in-my-family\/51paliclwml\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/51paliclwml.jpg?fit=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"51pALIcLwML\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/51paliclwml.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/51paliclwml.jpg?fit=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"  wp-image-5110 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gamingteacher.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/51paliclwml.jpg?resize=414%2C414&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"51pALIcLwML.jpg\" width=\"414\" height=\"414\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s also fond of playing\u00a0<em>Wheel of Fortune<\/em> on her tablet. So she&#8217;s not entirely opposed to video games, but I can&#8217;t help but wonder if she views modern gaming as being totally saturated in violence, which would certainly be a deterrent for her. That, and she never had any of the major gaming consoles in her life.<\/p>\n<p>The first time that I played a video game with my mother was when I got the Wii. We played <em>Wii Sports<\/em> of course. And just this year, we played <em>1 2 Switch<\/em>. She was particularly fond of the &#8220;Quick Draw&#8221; mini-game. I have never seen the woman so intense with a video game before! We had a lot of fun playing <em>1 2 Switch<\/em> and &#8220;Guesspionage&#8221; from <em>The Jackbox Party Pack 3<\/em>, and I can see her wanting to play again in the future.<\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s my sister, who is six years younger than me. She will play video games on occasion but does not own a console or have a PC capable of playing much. She has played on a Game Boy, GameCube, DS, Wii, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and on PC. Some of the games we played together included various versions of <em>Just Dance<\/em>, <em>Mario Kart<\/em>, and <em>The Forest<\/em>, among other titles. I have yet to introduce her to the Switch, but I think she would enjoy it for a time. It&#8217;s not that my sister doesn&#8217;t like video games, they just aren&#8217;t a priority for her.<\/p>\n<p>My mom and sister aren&#8217;t avid gamers by any means, but it does make me happy when I can share something with them, even if it&#8217;s momentary. They might not always &#8220;get&#8221; my hobby, but I have seen them experience moments of joy when playing video games. I can&#8217;t help but smile thinking of my mom&#8217;s laugh when she beat me at &#8220;Quick Draw.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In writing this, I wanted to share my sliver of experience with gaming and the immediate women in my family, and I wanted to document it in some way. I don&#8217;t really have a statement to make about women and gaming, at this time, beyond sharing what I&#8217;ve seen and known.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming off a week of vacation, I found myself reflecting on the week, including what I accomplished and whatnot.
