About



I’m Jane Pearson, and I review games the way a food critic eats: everything, twice, no free desserts. reneeolstead.com is my table — Destiny 2 first, everything loud second.

I grew up in Seattle on rain, books and save files. Destiny 2 hooked me at launch with its lore rabbit holes, and I never climbed out. Ten years on, I’m still down here taking notes.

An English Literature degree taught me exactly one useful skill: spotting when a story — or a weapon tooltip — is bluffing. I aim that lens at every quest, cutscene and sandbox shake-up.

The record so far: raid guides that hold up, lore pieces with receipts, and news without the press-release perfume. Readers who hate surprises keep coming back. Make of that what you will.

Off the sticks: hiking, painting, and piano sonatas played slightly too loud. Fresh eyes make sharper verdicts — that’s my excuse and I’m keeping it.

Stick around. Read something. Disagree loudly via the contact form. Legends only, darlings.
