I've been following the video game industry for 15+ years, so I like to imagine I know which way is up on controllers.
I'm an on-again, off-again amateur writer along with my video and stream production on Youtube and Twitch respectively. Since I don't know how to tell jokes, my commentary revolves around the what, how and why games get reactions out of us, be they positive or not. Oh, I also quack like an infernal duck when stressed.
The long game is for me to eventually have a career in the industry as a writer in some way, shape or form - Creative, critical, etc. Eventually, the offers I get of '''for exposure''' '''jobs''' writing for free will make way into something permanent.
