Had a really lovely moment at work today; we started a program at a new school (I work for a company that does classroom mentoring to teens with autism) and there was this quiet kid who was hesitant to share when we went around the circle sharing our interests.
Eventually with some encouragement he volunteered that he liked gaming, and when I asked which games he said he liked Splatoon; I told him me too and that I'd bought the first one way back when it came out in 2015; this kid who'd been near silent before suddenly perked up and started talking to me all about Splatoon!
It was a really nice moment that reminded me of how gaming can bring us together.
