Kris "Delfeir" Cornelisse

Kris "Delfeir" Cornelisse (he/him) is an Australian writer who was cursed to write compulsively about video games after causing a Tetris clone's score to stack overflow at the age of 4 years old. Since then, he's spent far too long playing every strategy game he can get his hands on, while also pondering the ways in which games can tell stories unique to the medium. He's most notably written for GameSkinny and DualShockers, and is a regular co-host on the Platformers Podcast.
