Video games have been part of my world since I was a wee lad. They’ve been with me through it all, in my darkest moments and in my happiest moments. I was what you would call a hardcore gamer. As I’ve gotten older, I learned how to manage my time more wisely and have more positive/healthy relationships with video games. In my long gaming career, I’ve played all sorts of games. I tried everything except for horror games and you won’t ever see me play that genre. Not as long as I live and breathe. I don’t care how good they are. Life is too short.

My whole life I struggled with many things but my biggest struggle was finding a place where I belong, a sense of purpose. I strongly believed that I was supposed to be a Mechanical Engineer, but I realised I didn’t want to do it, so I didn’t… Soon after that, I made a decision to become a Front-end Developer, and then I learned a lot about digital marketing while trying to market myself. So much so that I even got a job offer as a PPC Specialist. And that turned out to be a soulless grind. Don’t get me wrong, I was good at it but it wasn’t for me.

Around that time I had an existential crisis and had a long chat with myself about what would really make me fulfilled. I had a general idea that it had to do something with gaming. Naturally I gravitated towards a blog. And for the first time in my life I was genuinely feeling better, I would even dare say I was happier. I was doing something that I found interesting and something that was part of my whole life.

Along the way I made tons of content trying to compete against big gaming conglomerates, but nothing that I would proudly call mine. I’m more than grateful for that because it made me realise 2 BIG things. First, I need to be me and do things my way, not like some company with 10 kabillion employees. Secondly, I want to build a positive community where we help each other, encourage each other, share tips, play together, share good games, help out small indie developers and potentially do a lot of game giveaways.

So, what I’m trying to say is that this is who I am and this is where I belong. And I’m hoping that you would join me in making a community that’s known for how helpful, positive and generous it is. I think we can agree that the world has more than enough bad/mean/negative places and it definitely doesn’t need another. I truly believe that we can make the gaming world a better place to be a part of.
