Renier is a jack of all trades and a master of some. A published author and poet, Renier understands the art of weaving a narrative, or so the critics say. As a professional overreactor and occasional debater of existentialist philosophy, Renier thrives on games where choices actually matter, e.g. Life Is Strange, Mass Effect, and Heavy Rain. Renier often finds himself in a game of throes on GeForce NOW, sobbing like a Sicilian widow because life is definitely way too strange sometimes.

Death. The inescapable finale no one wants to face. That split second where all our hopes, dreams, lives, loves, and broken hearts stop. All of it. We fear death itself, yet we have no choice but to meet The Ferryman, pay our tolls—my eye-coins will most probably be cheap chocolate wrapped in gold foil—and allow […]
