Who the heck is Tallana?

I'm playing video games not because I don't have a life, but because I choose to have many.

There's no way to talk about me without talking about video games. They've accompanied me throughout my life, inspired me, and brought me joy every single day. I've been working in the gaming industry for over 8 years, taking on roles in QA, player support, community management, and even logistics operations for the kickstarter board game.

If you're looking for someone who is passionate about games and genuinely enjoys every interaction with the pixelated world, then congratulations! You've found one such specimen in the wild. Just don't feed me after midnight, and keep me away from water.

Some of my other hobbies include crafting, especially crocheting and sewing. My dear aunt (my grandpa's sister) taught me how to knit, while my beloved grandmother taught me how to crochet and sew. I love the idea of slow living and making things with my own hands, whether it's baking, creating everyday essentials, or working on something a little more elaborate.

I feel that many traditional, everyday skills have been gradually forgotten over the years, and one of the ideals behind Tallanatown is to bring their spark back. I strongly believe that the fast-paced environment of the modern world isn't one in which we can truly thrive. We live so quickly nowadays that we often replace well-made, long-lasting things with faster, more convenient alternatives that don't always offer the same quality.

What I'm currently playing?

Let's see:

• Minecraft
