Hey, I’m Vanessa. I’m 25, born and raised in Ohio, though I did a little detour — two years near Austin before I came back home. That’s kind of a long story and honestly not one I’m gonna get into here. Just know I’m back, and I’m good.
Here’s the thing nobody who knew me five years ago would believe: I run a gaming blog now. Me. The girl who used to roll her eyes when my ex stayed up til 3am grinding action RPGs. That was his whole personality, not mine. Then we split, I had way too much empty time on my hands, and one random night I picked up the old controller he left behind. Got completely hooked. Funny how that works, right? Turns out grinding bosses in Elden Ring is way cheaper than therapy lol.
So now I’m here, writing this stuff because I actually love it — not because I’m trying to be anybody’s idea of a “gamer girl.” I dig into the games I’m playing, share the dumb deaths, the satisfying clears, the builds I’m obsessed with that week. If you want the deeper stuff — my unfiltered ramblings, behind-the-scenes runs, and the posts I only feel like sharing with people who actually get it — that lives over in my exclusive corner.
I’m flying solo these days and, honestly? Kinda happy about it. I think. Most days, yeah.
Random fact about me: I collect enamel pins. The ugly ones. The weird ones nobody else wants — I’ve got like 40 of them stuck all over my desk lamp. My mom thinks it’s strange. She’s probably right, but I’m keeping them anyway.
Anyway, that’s me. Pull up a chair, grab a controller, stay a while.
