The presentation was a part of opening event of first edition of Slavic Game Jam in Warsaw. It covers some sources of inspiration for games that are available to everyone and how everyone can be such source for others. If you don't see the connection between playing on ukulele and creating a game or how Donkey Kong got into one game with Pong, Pac-Man and Space Invaders, you're in a right place. You can get the meaning of the idea of hobby-driven gamedev and the reasons why it's great to be a part of gamedev community.
