Valerie was raised on Nintendo, then fell in love with indies. She lives in Arizona, USA, with her fellow-gamer husband & Amstaff dog. When she’s not holding her Switch or her Steam Deck, she’s probably crafting, reading, or earning video game money as a prep cook (it’s like Fruit Ninja, but she also has to wash dishes). Her current favorite trend in video games is games that look cute but are actually spooky, & games that look spooky but are actually cute.
