Hello and welcome! My name is Yuna, i’m a thirty-something transgender (she/her/they/them) gamer from Scotland. Video games are one of my foremost passions in life and I love to write about them.
I’m currently looking for full time or freelance work in the games media industry. I have worked as a volunteer for Noisy Pixel for a year at this point, but would love the opportunity to do what I love for a living.
I graduated from Robert Gordon University’s Media course back in 2016 and it initially wasn’t my goal to go into game’s media, as I had a larger interest in persuing my creative endeavours at the time. Since then i’ve taken a break from that and have rediscovered my love for writing about games instead.
Ever since I was a child I have always been interested in gaming publications and games media as a whole. I religiously collected gaming magazines for a time, and I believe the work of a games journalist is very important for the industry. I especially enjoy analysing and critiquing games, alongside helping people to discover hidden gems and underappreciated titles that have slipped under the radar.
I mostly find myself interested in the indie and retro scenes. Indie games I believe are some of the most creative and entertaining experiences out there and as someone who loves video game narratives in particular, to me they usually offer up stories that are much more memorable than mainstream titles.
Retro games are something I enjoy not only for nostalgia, but because the way they used to make games, and the sensibilities they had were so unique to those generations. Games history is so often neglected and I think that’s one reason why it holds my interest so much.
But as you may have already noticed, my biggest interest when it comes to games is the stories they tell, both literally and figuratively. Getting the chance to write more about those stories is what i’m hoping to do in the future.
