🔒 EXCLUSIVE: Id/MyPublicProfile - Full Archive

I've been a gamer for about 45 years (started with pre-Atari consoles, basically pong machines with a few different cartridges per console) and built PCs for more than 30. I am working in the gaming industry, but wore lots of different hats in my life. Whatever I do and post here, is my own doing and does not reflect the opinions of my employer(s).

Occasionally I like to write reviews. I'm aiming for an analytical, 100% honest review style that understands the desires and constraints of both developers and gamers, but doesn't shy away from pointing out questionable practices. You're absolutely free to not trust my reviews due to my involvement with the games industry, but I think if you read them, it's pretty clear that I'm writing them as a consumer. I also try to keep an eye on accessibility features.

If you're interested in my reviews and want to see them highlighted for you on the respective product pages, please feel free to send me a friend request. I have also written a few reviews that I can't post in the review section for technical reasons, so I'll link them here:
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Lust for Darkness

Current rig (since Dec 4th 2022): RTX 4090, Ryzen 7 7700X, 32 GB DDR5-6000 RAM CL30, 4TB NVMe SSD PCIe 4.0, 12TB HDD, Logitech G600 mouse, 43" 4k monitor, Windows 11. No controller or VR equipment. I generally keep my OS and drivers up to date. My first playthrough of any game is usually done without any mods or reshaders and on default difficulty. I focus on the single-player experience and favor a slow, thorough playstyle.

Previous rig (may be relevant for old reviews): GTX 1660 Ti, i5-3570K CPU, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, 500 GB SATA SSD, 12TB HDD, Logitech G600 mouse, 28" 1080p monitor, Windows 7. No controller or VR equipment.
