We're kicking off the morning with a #livechat between tech and gaming writer Marijam @marijamdid and artist duo Shiri and Lucian @GIANTBOMB1 on the #politics of #gaming, as part of #20Days here at #TateExchange. Welcome both! To start: is gaming time well spent? Why or why not? 
And with that, we'll wrap up for now. Thanks so much for joining us, if you'd like to continue the conversation around #gaming, join us on Sept 1st for an #Overwatch session and discussion: tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-…

As a journalist who has worked with #gaming and #eSports as a subject (though not exclusively), I want to recommend to other journalists one thing: when talking about the gamer public/majority opinion, e.g. "gamers were upset about x", give examples of threads that support that.
If you're going to tell people that an opinion is widely accepted or something is believed by "a majority of gamers" you must give a timeline of that belief. Show different sources, different voices, different public figures who hold that belief. Show people believing it!
You can't just assume an opinion is de facto accepted, and that acceptance is widely known. If you want to say something like "the majority of the x gamer community feels y" you either SHOW that belief or you admit you're peddling stereotypes, lies, and exaggeration.
As a deaf gamer I see a fair amount of #gamedevelopment questions asking how #gamedev's can support the #deaf and #HardofHearing folk.
I've got a few ideas and of course anyone else with ideas can reply to this or share it.

• Directional Waveform HUD
A toggle feature which could hover over the player. Whichever way the audio is coming from the waveform reacts. Would be no different to hearing directional footsteps. Perhaps a The Division tracking HUD for inspiration?
Example with #Fortnite

• Vignette Cues
Could get mistaken for health depletion, but this could indicate sound in specific games. Perhaps a horror/thriller.
An example in the bottom left, ideally, it would follow the audio around the screen. Although maybe not in front of the player.
