She now works full-time with GINX and can often be found exploring the worlds of Palia,&nbsp; Conan Exiles, Elder Scrolls Online, and Elden Ring while trying to reach Infinite rank in Marvel Snap. Whilst she has seen improvements at farming in Stardew Valley (much thanks to Palia), Ashleigh more than makes up for it by being a decent Blastoise trainer in Pokemon GO. While her gaming adventures take her to unique locations, she actively enjoys following trending stories within the Entertainment industry, just don't ask why her Letterboxd hasn't seen an entry in a while. If you manage to catch Ash in between playing games and watching Marvel or Star Wars shows, you can forward any gaming and entertainment news, tips, and tricks to her via email or on social media.","url":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/author\/ashleigh-klein"}]}},"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12188"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
