d3t welcomes James Ives, Associate QA Tester

9th Dec 2022

Tell us a bit of information about your experience/career background?

Most of my previous work experience has been in customer services, retail, and pharmaceuticals, where I have worked as both a Pharmacy Dispenser and Pharmacist Assistant, alongside working in a variety of Admin roles that have seen me deal with many different types of customers, clients, and patients in numerous scenarios and situations.

Why d3t?

d3t have already shown the welcoming environment and friendly atmosphere that they project, and having that type of space around me really enables me to put 100% of myself into my work allowing me to become someone that people can depend and rely on.

What do you love about games?

The thing that I love most about games is being told a story and also the immersion. Especially when a game pulls you in and makes you feel like your actions actually affect the world around you – this for me makes them extremely hard to turn off.

However, I also like games that are strategy-based where you need to plan out your decisions in order to succeed. I also like this genre of game because each time you play you are faced with a different challenge, which keeps it varied and exciting!

What games are you currently playing, and what is your favourite game?

I am currently playing Disgaea 5, Persona 5, and Pokémon Sword. However, my favourite game series of all time is any Final Fantasy, and if I was forced to pick my favourite from that series it would have to be Final Fantasy IX.

Do you have any fun facts or hobbies?

Besides the normal hobbies like reading, drawing, and attempting to be a plant mum. I can play the saxophone and have an unhealthy obsession with both Family Guy and every Studio Ghibli film.
