Triscuits and Destiny: Sampling Everything Games Can Be
Manage episode 504289936 series 2802252
Dr. Gamology, Doritos, and Marcus explore the psychological motivations behind gaming and how our digital personas reflect our real-world needs and desires.
• Why we play games: socialization, escapism, stress relief, and validation
• The concept of psychological flow and how it explains gaming enjoyment
• How content vaulting and free-to-play models frustrate longtime players
• Gaming as parents and finding ways to share the experience with children
• Changes in content creation styles across generations
• Building community through scheduled gaming nights
• Finding time to play as busy adults with responsibilities
Join our community night in Final Fantasy XIV! We welcome players of all levels - we'll match your level and do content that works for everyone. Sundays in the Dr. Gamology Discord.
