Gab Smolders is a gaming YouTuber from the Netherlands. She makes very entertaining playthroughs of a large variety of games. He cat, BB, occasionally makes an appearance.

Definitely dig around to see if there's something you might like, but she is positive and upbeat, even when she is getting killed repeatedly in Elden Ring, avoids toxic gamer behavior, enjoys horror moments and cute moments, and is generally a nice way to spend some time. Featured playlists: Dredge -- Fishing horror Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild -- Fantasy adventure Indie Horror -- A grab bag of small horror games Elden Ring -- Fantasy horror (includes the new DLC) Little Kitty, Big City -- A cute and epic quest Note, there's a lot of horror content here, because that's what I like, but she does many other kinds of games, too. The shorts are also nice an positive and include more BB.
