About Cape Nerd Collective
The history of Cape Nerd Collective
We started in 2019 with a small group of gamers trying to find their place in this wild world (and even wilder economy).
Our busy schedules eventually caught up with us in 2021 and the site lay dormant as we focused on careers and studies. We booted it back up in 2025 with a smaller team to write and create when we can. While our posting schedule is not as consistent as we’d like, we create content based on our passions.
Our content
We try to vary our content across all facets of nerd culture. We like having a team of contributors so that we can all write about different genres, platforms, and media.
We post news, reviews, and opinion pieces on our site and reshare memes and news stories on our socials. We stream on Twitch when we have some time to play the next game in our library or whichever game is currently being covered for site content.

Bianca Mercedes Lee
Writer. Poet. Graphite Artist. Bianca is somewhat of patchwork human – nothing cohesive about her. It’s all tattoos, country music, car culture, and dorky energy. She just completed a Master’s in English Literary Studies from UCT, specifically in the field of disability, neurodiversity, and mental health life-writing and non-fiction. Her writing, poetry, and art specifically looks at the way nerd culture texts are linked to political and social dynamics in the world. She is dedicated to anime, RPGs, and science fiction.© 2025 Cape Nerd Collective. All rights reserved.
