"Hey, I work at IGN" is an easy way to disarm 99.99% of arguments online, especially and obviously, when discussing video games.

I praise the food gods every day for having family from Galicia, because pulpo is a real weakness of mine; you'll never find a proper pulpería in the UK (for obvious reasons).

I'll be making every bite count while out here!

I can't recall what episode of the podcast it was, whether it was around the release of Microsoft Flight Sim or one of our many Alternative Game Awards, but I know it felt nice to speak about this place out loud, even just for a bit.

During COVID, I spoke about "revisiting" Santa Cristina beach thanks to MFS 2020, a cathartic experience.

I've not properly been back here since my nan passed away, and while it's hard to translate my feelings fully, this is without a doubt my happy place. Love coming back here.

Can you collab with my small channel, pls, minimme

Fear the mighty abuela murals of Santiago de Compostela, because all Galicians fear their slipper throwing overlords.

A Coruña? Beautiful place.

Half cod, half tuna.

Chorizo has Spanish and Portuguese origins, but it's quite different from Mexican chorizo, sadly I've not had the chance to try it though!

Heading to a pulperia this evening, and I'm loading up on octopus 🙏

Galicia is a beautiful place.

Got a Mercadona and Gadis across the road, living my best life.

Pains me whenever I'm back in the UK because a lot of the options are dead, and unless you're visiting the Spanish shops on Portobello Road, you're fucked.

Eating chorizo and empanada for lunch is a deadly combination to my health, but when I'm back home in Spain, it must be done 🫡

I didn't realise it as a kid visiting Spain, but my nan living across the IRL Spencer Mansion must've had some influence on my life growing up...

It genuinely feels wrong for someone to not only have a bachelor's degree, but also a master's AND a doctorate, then replace your brain with ChatGPT.

It's taken me years to get comfortable writing about video games and these frauds aren't even writing their own shit 💀

On the train to the airport, and sitting in front of me is an actual doctor of philosophy from the University of Oxford, who, using ChatGPT, is "writing" vast documentation on a study project they're on.

I'm stunned by how many people I see using AI for everything. It's fucked.

Literally us:

Welcome to the team, chief

Mr X was foundational, but mostly limited to the RPD during a playthrough, while Nemesis, however, felt like THE relentless pursuer throughout RE3.

He shares some similarities, but Nemesis feels like that's where the proper idea of a stalker clicked into place; especially in the original game.

Witness the eternally confused American mind when they hear a British person:

We've updated our Top 10 Resident Evil Games ranked list on IGN, which, of course, I've turned into a video!

We've also included an "IGN's Editor Picks" section on our site version, and I'd argue my #ResidentEvil ranking is perfect 🫡

Me at Gamescom this year:

For the past few days, I've been witnessing series newcomers bemoan the inclusion of Blister Heads in #ResidentEvilRequiem...

Anyhow, hope they enjoy prior games if revisited!

How I'm turning up to my first annual review while working at the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center:

There's something inherently funny about Victor Gideon, who looks objectively evil, working at a medical centre, and the regular staff not questioning it.

I know he's working on "experimental therapies", but, as a new hire, would you not be like "nah"?

#ResidentEvilRequiem

Raccoon City Syndrome? Requiem taught me everything I need to know.

Oh no... It looks like I'll be in London around 279 days from now 😬

#ResidentEvil

We recently had Grace Ashcroft, AKA Angela Sant'Albano, in our office, to answer some questions, and react to some silly Resident Evil Requiem memes...

Never thought I'd have to try and explain what 6-7 is to a Resi protagonist, but here we are!

I'll be freelancing bits here and there, so if you're looking for a writer, video producer, content creator, or consultant, or just want to update your press list, I'm at that.zoe.dels at gmail dot com.

Change is scary, but if not now, when?
