about
I'm first and foremost always the same messy, barefoot and mettlesome queer kid raised in the Deep South who went on to graduate from Mississippi State and the University of Southern Mississippi. As a professional, I've worked in higher education, video games PR, and covering games in some capacity.Usually, I'm knee-deep in an RPG, but I love horror, survival, and other narrative-driven games. I play painful amounts of FFXIV, though other favorites include Disco Elysium, Norco, Xenosaga, Mass Effect, Silent Hill, and the Team Ico trilogy.
