Hi everyone!
My name is Jenny and I go by she/her pronouns. I am currently a senior studying computer science under the artificial intelligence track and minoring in psychology.
It is hard to say what my favorite digital game is, but I have spent over a decade playing Minecraft for hours a day and it has been with me for a large majority of my life, so I might as well talk about it here. I started playing as a way to build / do whatever I wanted in an open world and kept playing because it was a comfort game that I knew like the back of my hand. The developers are also great at keeping the game fresh with new features and updates. My favorite analog game would be One Night Ultimate Werewolf or Spyfall. I enjoy One Night Ultimate Werewolf over traditional Werewolf or Mafia since it is fast paced, and those who die in the beginning aren’t left waiting for the game to end (plus I really like the twists that each role have). Spyfall is really fun since you get to see how other people think and deduce given a very limited amount of information, and really requires a high level of theory of mind to understand people / get people to understand you.
Recently, I have really gotten into Teamfight Tactics for the first time, even though it was quite overwhelming to start. However, I enjoy TFT as it balances strategy with luck very well. Creating a good team always requires a good strategy and flexibility, but to get great champions, sometimes you have to gamble a little bit (which is slightly addicting). Another thing about TFT is that no victory ever comes easily and you have to work for it, which makes a high placement in each game much more satisfying.
