Psychology in Media

in General Chat
Hey all.
I've been thinking about a topic that I find super fascinating for a really long time now and I feel like this might be a perfect place to discuss it (plus I don't really have anyone to discuss this with irl). It is the topic of psychology behind different media like video games, movies, songs, books etc. and how they affect our brain.
I wanted to create this thread as a way for anyone to talk about and discuss all of this. For example, media that means something to you, stories that make you emotional, recommendations, moments in games that you love or just generally stuff you like, pretty much anything.
To start off I would like to mention my favourite youtube channel that started this interest for me, its called Daryl Talks Games and I'd love to know if anyone has heard of it? If not then I really recommend it, he talks about psychology mostly in video games but sometimes also in other media such as movies, shows, anime etc.
Also I really want to see how many other people find this as interesting as I do. Idk I just think this might be fun.

I just looked up that Youtube channel and it looks very interesting actually. I think this channel is something I might check out from time to time. It's great to have someone who is really into psychology in media as it is a very cool topic to discuss.
