Really enjoyed listening to this GDC talk today! It’s funny how I keep finding talks you’ve done that I’d just completely missed for decades! 😀
This stuff of getting right into the psychology of identity, and how we think of ourselves, how we can be aware of ourselves within multiple consciousnesses at once, and donning a mask, is really some of the most interesting stuff about games.
And most of it is all happening subconsciously, both while playing, and while existing and changing as people even.

Great food for thought! Cheers.
