About
Hi, I’m Psyche!
I’m a gamer and gaming content creator in my 30s from Northern Ireland! I’ve been playing games since I was five, beginning with Duck Hunt and the passion never ended. My favourite games of all time are Quake III, which I played competitively in my teenage years, Neverwinter Nights, the Elder Scrolls series, and Mass Effect. I am currently a full-time content creator and Twitch Ambassador, but prior to that I worked in the games industry, as a project manager, community manager, content writer, and more! Most recently, I worked at Riot Games as a project manager on their EU events, tournaments, and streaming platform. I went full-time with streaming in 2016, and have never looked back!
I live with my fiancé (whom I refer to as T!), and our five cats, Crash (named after CrashOverride from Hackers, Crowley and Aziraphale/Az (named after the characters from Good Omens, and Gytha and Esme (named after the witches from Discworld).
Psyche Plays is my little corner of the web, where I share my gaming adventures, thoughts and opinions, and talk about geek lifestyle. For a long time, I struggled to figure out what a gaming blog should look like. Then I realised: gaming is a lifestyle, just like any other. And so, I relaunched this blog to share what that lifestyle means to me. It also allows me to stay in touch with the wonderful people I’ve been able to meet on my journey through the games industry and content creation and beyond! Here you’ll find personal lifestyle posts focused on gaming, tech, and other geeky interests. I’ll also share reviews and opinion pieces, and talk about my time in the games industry. Of course, streaming on Twitch will feature quite heavily as well, both in sharing my experiences, and also giving tips where I can.
