Gamer Sexism
Gender stereotyping and sexism, particularly in gaming, are two common problems throughout the gaming community.

As a tabletop gamer, I'm grateful for his contributions to my chosen hobby/career, and I recognize that without his efforts my favorite pastime would look very different than it does today.

4 Top Tips for Beginner Indie Game Devs
1. Narrow your scope. It can be very easy to get excited about making a game you think everyone will love and want to make this incredible, complex game. Unless you are creating a game with a group of people it can be very daunting to create a very complex game.
