In a quiet Chicago apartment, I reflect on what it truly means to win—when the screen lights up with a jackpot, but tears fall anyway. Drawing from my work as a game psychology consultant, I explore how digital victories like those in 'Furong Feast' become emotional anchors for players seeking meaning beyond luck. This isn’t about gambling; it’s about hope, ritual, and the soul’s quiet hunger for belonging. Join me in uncovering why sometimes, winning feels like losing—and why that matters.
