I've loved gaming since my childhood when PlayStation was one of the anchors in my life. During those early days, I spent hours playing RPGs and simulation games like Harvest Moon and Digimon World. I loved the feeling of building up systems and following characters through their journeys, avoiding fast-paced action or sports games like soccer or Tekken.

When the PlayStation 5 came out in late 2020 during the peak of the lockdown, I managed to get one. It quickly became an anchor for my mental sanity. It provided a quiet, immersive space to unwind after a long day of coding or managing teams remotely.

Today, I primarily play single-player story games—the kind with long, quiet stretches where I can explore detailed worlds at my own pace. For me, gaming isn't about chasing high scores or competing online; it's about losing myself in a beautifully crafted narrative and appreciating the game design, art direction, and writing that goes into modern single-player masterpieces.
