Give me a game and I will write every "how to" I possibly can or die trying. When I'm not knee-deep in a gam🃏e to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
