They’re not just pixels and boss battles — video games are modern-day portals, stress relievers, and sometimes even therapy with a controller.
In this episode of Life’s Side Quests, I’m diving into the surprisingly wholesome, weirdly emotional, and endlessly fascinating world of video games. Whether you're a lifelong gamer or someone who still presses all the buttons at once, there’s something in this digital playground for everyone.
I’ll chat about the benefits of gaming — from escapism and social connection to skill-building and storytelling that rivals the best films — and push back against the outdated idea that games are just for kids or couch potatoes. Spoiler: they’re for all of us.
So pick your player, power up, and let’s explore why video games might just be one of the greatest side quests of all time.
