I don't use this site much but when I do I should shout out the brilliant people more. Got to know Kate this year through a couple of events and both her and Matt have been such a delight to hang out with. Proper mood lift, welcoming people you should be following and supporting!

Industry? Open doors for outlets; give code, give access. Give indies a shot & be surprised by how much more soulful their coverage is than a big outlet where everyone is overworked to the bone

Royal Albert hall letting me into the Zelda concert ticket selection but refusing to let me buy anything even when they're listed is quite vexing to say the least

Really enjoyed how much Resident Evil got the feeling of so many aspects of the games. Knowing you have to do something horrid for a key item/progression and psyching up for it, fumbling everything under pressure. And an acceptance that it is downright silly at heart despite the scares

The fact that we’re an island nation with a *volunteer* lifeboat service is already baffling- the RNLI are one of those things that makes the UK great, and must be protected.

The best thing about working in video shorts is sometimes you'll put out an idea that gathers wonderful momentum on Insta/YT and then TikTok will just be like "lol, lmao"

A really lovely read, this. Grab a cuppa and treat yourself. www.eurogamer.net/optimism-wee...

After all my years of parental anxiety, and all their current issues, I've come to realise games are the most optimistic way I've found of looking at the world
It's easy to think of games as things that often choose to simulate danger. But what they really do is simulate safety - and a means for people to help.

Imran and Jesse kindly let me cram them both back in the box of bad opinions. Turns out we actually agreed with most of them though??
