From the wild philosophy of “life-as-a-game” to gamer DNA and the curious magic of grinding for gold stars, this episode flips reality inside out and dares you to level up your perspective. If you’ve ever wondered whether we’re all just non-player characters on a cosmic quest, this conversation is your next mission. Play on!
