    'I wrote my dissertation about the intersection between the queercore punk movement and queer indie games, so it really helped me establish a strong, focused specialization. I learned about the power of DIY indie game development, and how to translate literary theory to other mediums. It also helped me get even better at analyzing texts, applying theory, and, naturally, made me a better writer.' A.M. (Newcastle Uni postgrad) .. In other words she is from another universe to the typical gamer who just wants to play an entertaining game & cares zero about queer feminist literary theory & Marxism.
