About the Author

Francis V

Francis, a former junior developer, enjoys both gaming and cooking. He loves to get lost in a good game, try out new recipes, or sometimes mess around with code, just for fun. He is always up for learning something new, whether it’s a cool game strategy, a better way to cook something, or a random tech trick. If it’s fun and keeps him curious, he is all in! Gaming has always been a huge part of Francis's life, and writing about it makes the experience even more meaningful. Every time he dives into a new game, creating content helps him to understand its mechanics, story, and world on a deeper level. It’s more than just playing it’s about truly immersing himself in the experience and sharing that passion with others. Writing makes Francis feel like he is not just a player but a part of the game itself, connecting with its community and discovering new things along the way. Francis has been gaming ever since he was a kid, starting with Dota 1 back in the day. Lately, he's been really into sandbox games like Project Zomboid, Palworld, Soulmask, and Rust. They let him get creative and explore at his own pace. But now that work keeps him busy, he mostly sticks to Teamfight Tactics. It’s the perfect mix of strategy and quick matches, which fits his schedule perfectly.
