Favorite Games
So I'm infamously bad at ranking things, but some of my all-time favourites include Final Fantasy 9, The Last of Us Part 2, Stardew Valley, Nier Automata, Butterfly Soup, and a laundry list of others I frequently struggle to pick from.
Bonus favourite: Knack 2 is actually quite good. Solid 7/10.
Industry Focus
I'm a bit of an all-rounder when it comes to video games I loves to play and write about. Everything from Final Fantasy to Farming Sim lands firmly in my remit.
I also loves to dip my toes into queer media, animation, and ever comics from time to time. If something has cute characters and plenty of sappy emotions, chances are I'll be all over it.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Like many critics of video games, I'm not very good at them. But I did kill lots of insects in Earth Defense Force despite having a fear of spiders though. I'm also 12th in the world for a couple of Snow Patrol songs in Guitar Hero 5.
