In the third episode of our exploration into gaming, we go into the psychology and philosophy involved and discuss hidden structures of play with guest Shaday Agosto-Vázquez. From the emotional dynamics in sports to why gaming functions as a life skill, this episode unpacks how games can reveal human behavior, storytelling patterns, systems of control, and the limits of objectivity. Together, we discover why designers frustrate us on purpose, how algorithms act on casino logic, and why adults are oftentimes just kids with better masks.
