Tales From the TTRPG Dust Pan

Season 2 Episode 1: Session zero / Video game manipulations


Listen Later

Hello from the rolling kia studio.

This episode I reintroduce the pod to potential (hello!) new listeners, then I go on a 20-minute manic rant about how video games are messing with our brain chemistry.

This is probably not the best way to start season 2 as I'm not usually so bombastic... However, it was on my mind...

I hope you enjoy the Pod, and I hope you all get to roll some dice this week!

I reference this video a few times. Geeky Pastimes makes the points in a much finer way than I do. (Probably why they have 44k subs huh?) I use some of their info in my rant I would like to give credit where it is due.

I read this before I spouted off:

Understanding Video Games and Dopamine Release

And this:

Designing Addiction: The Twisted Psychology Of Game Design

Lastly, I watched this as well.. though it was really just part of the rabbit hole. I did find the loss aversion portion interesting. (Starts at 6:29)
