My favourite (and only) sibling is getting married soon. Last weekend we had her bachelorette shindig, a wine and chocolate tasting (because we are classy like that), followed by jugs of lumo gin and tonic and dancing (because when you've had lots of wine that is what you do). I only recovered on Wednesday and not in an oh I have a hangover kind of way.…
I've been disenchanted with the gaming and esports industry the last few months. A good friend likes to message me and tell me it is the end of the year and it is inevitable to feel cranky and frustrated. Maybe he is right. I just felt so sad.

He doesn't have any social media accounts and finds the exercise of scrolling through accounts somewhat mundane and pointless. He's probably right but I realised that, if you were to take Insta stories away from me…
My name is Sam, though I'm also known as Tech Girl and this is my little space on the internet. My friends and I share our love for all things gaming, geek and gadgets here. I'm a South African Esports host and content creator. Links to all my various platforms are here on the blog.
