Noelia Fortebetter known as Chronopia, is one of the most influential content creators in Argentina in her country. As part of our series of interviews on the occasion of her 25th anniversary, we traveled to Buenos Aires to meet her and above all so that she could give us her point of view on how the video game industry has developed in her country.
Nintendo was the top of the range in consoles
Talking about what kind of consoles could be found in the Argentine capital a few years ago, Krono mentioned to us that at the time when he had to start playing, the available consoles were mostly the Japanese versions of the SNES, like the Super Famicom, although she was a fan of the SEGA Genesis.
His favorite video game was the Lion King
This title, despite the difficulty, was her favorite because it was one of the fashionable Disney franchises when she was little, although she did not finish it, however years later, Forte assured us that she kept trying.
Video stores were the places where they got video games
As in countries like the United States or Mexico, places similar to the extinct Blockbuster were where she could rent or buy her favorite video games. Rents in her town could be made either for just a couple of days, weeks or even for a fortnight.
The Sims is his favorite title
Noelia has been accompanying the video game developed by Maxis through all its evolutions, emphasizing that it has helped her at times when she only wanted to be entertained. Another of his favorite games is Digimon World, especially because it helped him learn the English language, on the other hand, he loved the first Assassin’s Creed for being open world and this led him to discover other installments such as The Witcher or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
PlayStation and PlayStation 2 were the watershed in his life
From the perspective of the streamer, the first two Sony consoles were the ones that triggered her passion for video games, although she currently considers herself a PC player.
Esports have been an important part of Argentina due to the passion of the public
When chatting with Kronopia about what has most moved the video game industry in her country, the content generator highlighted that electronic sports have had a particular relevance in the albiceleste territory due to the passion that the public injects into it, even comparing it with what that lives in football.
We still haven’t reached the moment where we say that gaming is part of our lives
One of the deepest parts of the conversation with the content creator was when she described what this industry lacks to end up permeating as something that is not only niche, the interesting thing about this part was how it was broken down the evolution of video games through esports, to democratization through smartphones.
Casting is his passion
The narration of electronic sports is what Kronopia considers determined her career within this industry and has been able to complement it with streaming, in fact, she emphasized that it was complex for her to play alone and now being able to share a title with her audiences or friendships through platforms like Discord is what ended up bringing her even closer.
Imagine a future like Sword Art Online
From his perspective, video games will adapt in such a way that we can end up in something similar to the anime series through virtual reality.
Esports is a living organ
The caster pointed out that, unlike conventional competitions, electronic sports are constantly changing due to updates, weapons and even the rules themselves, which is not the case with sports like soccer, which represents a challenge for people like her. that they narrate, since they constantly have to be updated.
Kronopia currently has over 14k followers on Twitchthe same amount that you have in Instagram.
