It was truly a great experience to attend #DiGRA2025 at University of Malta. I am sure I will face many ‘crossroads’ for life, or research in the future, but it is never an end. Thank you video games for brining me that far. Thank you my original tiny spark of curiosity.

At the recent APTIS 25 conference, I had the great pleasure of showcasing my research in Panel 1: Audiovisual translation and video games. Presenting my work in such a cohesive way post-PhD was incredibly rewarding, and it was made all the more meaningful with the collaboration

It was a pleasure sharing insights on video games and esports with the students at HKUST(GZ). Thank you Juan D. LYU for the invitation. A fun and honest reminder of how video games, competition and the discourses connect us - both through gameplay, and through the social value.
