"At their core, games are more than mere entertainment; they serve as reflections of our essence, metaphors for existence itself. From childhood, we learn to play, compete, and collaborate within the realm of games. As we mature, we realize that life itself is a game, and every obstacle we face becomes a challenge we strive to conquer. Games impart essential skills: strategy, patience, adaptability, and sometimes, the invaluable lesson of knowing how to lose." - Adriano Batista, FY Editor-in-Chief
