My relationship with videogames started when I was 9 years old, when my family gifted me a Nintendo DS, and I fell inmediately in love with them. I will never forget taking turns to play Pokemon Diamond, my fights with my brothers on Super Mario Bros Wii, trying to get 100% on Infamous Second Son or playing Minecraft in an old laptop using the same seed as my brother because we thought we could somehow connect our games that way.
I have always enjoyed creating stories and worlds, and the part that I liked the most was being able to create emotions on my reader/player/spectator. It was when I finished Gris that I first realized that maybe it was that kind of feeling that I wanted to generate in people, and when I played Rime it was nothing but the confirmation. After some months of thinking, I left the first year of an Industrial Engineering degree and switched to Computer Science Engineering, but always with that clear goal in mind: I want to help create experiences that make people have fun and/or feel fear, joy, sadness, curiosity, melancholy... all the spectrum!
Even as a child I enjoyed creating stories, settings and characters. I like to transport myself to worlds unknown and try to imagine how would people live and interact with them, wether it's in a medieval fantasy world, cyberpunk, or science fiction. The best part, however, is showing them to my friends, mainly as the lore of my games (I'm a DM). I love making them love (or hate) cities, people or creatures of my creation.
I really love roleplaying and playing TTRPG. Wether it's as a DM or as a player, I'm always checking the date to see for how long I'll have to wait until the next game. This is really related with my writing hobby, as most of my efforts in that sense are used here so my players can enjoy interesting worlds and stories when I DM. I also put a lot of time and care on my characters as a player, because I want to bring something interesting to the table that can really leave a mark on my fellow players.

This is the most recent hobby of mine (although it's been already a couple of years). I really enjoy almost all aspects of this wargame. Building an army and painting each minifigure has always felt as some kind of meditation (I always say that I don't only get to relax, but also get a mini as a reward!). I also like the wargame aspect, as I enjoy investigating what works and what doesn't, making the maths to build a list or trying to convince my friends to play a game.
However, as is to be expected, my favourite part is creating lore for my own armies, trying to create custom subfactions with their own history, heraldry and culture. Once I'm satisfied with my progress, I'll always trap some unsuspecting friend to infodump them about my latest creation!
