Video games are here to help . Not only are they a great way to stay entertained, they can also be an excellent group activity, whether you’re playing “locally” on the couch with your immediate family, or online with friends to spend quality time together while social distancing.
If you’ve been thinking about getting into gaming as a new hobby, here are some tips on getting started, as well as some game suggestions.

The many ways video game development impacts the climate crisis - The Verge
In 2019, Rami Ismail, co-founder of the independent studio Vlambeer, established the digital conference gamedev.world . The event started from the perspective that "everyone should have access to knowledge" at a moment when travel restrictions, at least in the US, were at their most stringent (pre-COVID-19). Considering the environmental benefits of a remote event, Ismail says these "rolled" naturally into a broader conversation.
Ismail, arguably one of the games industry's most visible presences at physical conferences across the world, notes the global demands of his job (which often centers on advocacy for regional games industries) while acknowledging how his own behavior has changed over recent years.

A full announcement is expected to be made next week on Thursday, May 14.
