A wonderful and beautiful in-depth view into a world of girl gamers. Full of diverse stories, art styles, identities, and writing. I’ve never seen myself represented in geeky media before and it brought me to tears a couple of times.

I read about 1/3 of this. I like a lot of the comics. My favorite was the first one - “A Certain Kind of Story” by Molly Ostertag. So relatable for the experience of summer camp or anything like that and then returning to normal life! I’m not really a gamer, so this anthology wasn’t really my jam, but I did enjoy jumping into the world for a little bit and learning about people’s experiences.

Loved the idea, execution sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. Some lovely, lovely stories, and others just ended right when I thought they were getting started.

Sekalainen antologia sarjakuvia naispuolisilta gamereilta ja sarjakuvantekijöiltä. Joukossa oli muutamia hienoja ja koskettavia tarinoita, mutta myös kaoottisia ja jäsentämättömiä, joista ei oikein saanut otetta. Kokoelmasta välittyi tarve kuulua joukkoon ja tulla hyväksytyksi, samoin kuin pelien merkitys kasvua tai mielenterveyttä tukevana viihteen lajina. Naispuolisen pelaajan yksinäisyyden kokemus miesvaltaisissa peliympäristöissä tuntui erityisen surulliselta. Toisaalta pelaajien kokemus siitä, että erilaisten hahmojen kokeilu auttoi heitä ymmärtämään omaa queeriyttään tai sukupuolikokemustaan, oli hienoa, samoin löydetty yhteisöllisyys.

2.5/5
The comics in this anthology were all over the place in terms of quality. Some we're well organized and complete, others were barely finished sketches of little interest.
Interesting to get the perspectives of women gamers/artists, but I don't feel like it's a must-read.

3.5. An enjoyable anthology about games of all kinds, and the women who love them. Great original content from queer and trans authors. My favorite was the comic where Pikachu became a villager in Animal Crossing.
