About Aydan Sattler
Aydan (she/they) is a Contributor from the United States. They are a life-long gamer and super nerd. They first began playing video games on DOS, cutting their gamer teeth on Commander Keen, Duke Nukem (the original side-scrolling variety), and The Dig. Today, they can usually be found on Steam or the Playstation Network under Wysiwyg Visions.
Their current favorite games include the Tales of series, Final Fantasy XV, Genshin Impact, and Eastshade.
Their go-to video game buddy is their bearded dragon, Yona, who provides moral support and commentary… when she isn’t trying to eat the Steam Deck.
Aydan has been a copywriter since 2017 and has been presenting video game panels at conventions since 2010. When Aydan isn’t saving the world in a video game, they can usually be found cosplaying, entranced by a fantasy novel, or fossil hunting.
Favorite Games
Aydan has a particular fondness for the Tales of franchise. Of the games, their favorites are Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Xillia/2. They also enjoy playing Final Fantasy XV, Eastshade, Genshin Impact, and Commander Keen. They have a nostalgic fondness for Animorphs: Know The Secret on PC. Aydan's favorite consoles at the moment are Steam Deck and PS4.
In the trading card game world, Aydan is a long-time Pokemon player and recently dove into the world of Disney Lorcana.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Aydan's proudest gaming achievement was when they figured out how to glitch Big Red, a boss in "Commander Keen in Goodbye Galaxy," which elicited an instant win.
In more recent games, they take great pride in getting a Platinum/100% achievement in Tales of Xillia 2. Paying back the exhorbinant amount of debt the game throws at you at the start of the game was no easy task, but well worth the reward.
Industry Focus
Aydan is a Contributor for TheGamer Digital Publication. They specialize in retro gaming, platformers, and RPGs. In their high school years, they played a lot of first-person shooters, especially Halo and Star Wars Battlefront.
In the trading card arena, they are actively playing Disney Lorcana after playing Pokemon since 1998. They were highly ranked in Pokemon League competitions in West Virginia and California.
