super interesting blog post about what "games showcaes get you the biggest wishlist increase" by How to Market a Game can confirm that triple iii has always been really been really crazy good for our games full link to the newsletter here howtomarketagame.com/2025/09/23/w...

Spent today in one of my favourite spots in London for a content day for one of the fantasy events. A little escape

Updated my website to reflect my status as a highly employable writer ooooooh you feel compelled to look www.emmkid.info 🪄

Keir Starmer falling over to sell UK ai to US companies is selling out the creative industries. Copyright laws need to protect creatives from theft of work to feed ai. The ongoing race to give even more power to big tech is depressing. www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/creativ...

I have a knack for picking aesthetic, lovely hotels. Am currently at a gorgeous adult only one in Crete. The occasional downside of this is that I believe I am the *only* solo, single person staying here 🥴

Kudos to whichever marketer’s out there living my dream making a game trailer with one of my favourite songs by Carpenter Brut and Gunship 🖤 About Claptrap as well 😭 I love lil robots so much @borderlands.2k.com youtu.be/k3_av_ea4go?...

New cat sitter was so excited he was waiting for her and then sent me this picture

The witch heals by cackling (obviously). Cackling prevents you from accelerating with your broom, so you start dropping down Doesn't prevent you from firing your gun in freefall though Please consider a wishlist : s.team/a/3673790 #GameDev #ScreenShotSaturday #IndieDev #solodev

The blue sky blue sea combo is so extra loved after being in the UK for 15 years

This is another good thing about Crete

Once again a cat post is the one thing that gets me engagement on this app 😆

One of the many delightful things about Crete

Every time you see an inaccurate post mentioning how Silksong, Clair Obscur, etc was made by like 12 people in their basement with no internet remember that some C-Suite exec is going to point at that when signing new games, cutting studios and teams, and dismantling foundational pillars

Wow wow wow what a final

The screwball raspberry ripple one was good but this one is top tier delicious 🍫 🍓

G2 right now

Layoffs wreck studios. Institutional knowledge is SO valuable in the games industry. When you eventually replace that laid off employee, I don’t care if they’ve got 30 years of experience and dozens of games under their belt. They still have to learn the pipeline, the software, the systems.

Arrived in time for the CS watching this weekend, nice

I don’t understand the math of how January to March takes so long but August to December disappears if you look at it

you can take my em dashes from my cold dead hands

#AdvX25 still needs sponsors to support this year's event! As a non-profit, volunteer-run organisation, we rely on contributions to help make it all happen. In return, you get more value than ever with our new sponsorship packages! Have a look & contact if interested! adventurexpo.org/sponsorship

This weekend: 🍷 date on Friday 🍒 homemade cherry brandy 📺 CS tournament 🥣 tasty chicken mushroom risotto 🏠 helping a friend move in

Was so fun to chat with @gothbosscat.bsky.social about marketing tips and future predictions!

Lot of parallels to games. Suits waste profound amounts of money trying to will the industry into a consistent repetitive slop machine when, as with all entertainment, the only consistent rule is that inconsistent, original and good is the way of maybe getting a hit. Maybe.

This was very sweet. It’s nice when people know the things that matter to you

Finished. I don’t think a book has ever affected me so

Feel like once I finish Malazan I need somewhere to expel all the fan content I’ve been holding inside. Is setting up a Notion too much? Has Tumblr revived enough? I have so many lists to share

"I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie"

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Erikson made these books because he feast off tears. 200 pages to go

Purposefully set aside this weekend to finish Malazan, because I’ve been stalling. I don’t want it to end! I started the series in April 2023 and it’s brought me so much

⭐️ September Availability ⭐️ Each month I have some time for smaller projects. If you need some help unpicking tricky marketing, brand or creative problems or need some creative or copywriting work Love working with indies too, and have special rates for y’all fyi

Today was a good day. Productive at work, and enough energy to work on my game design homework in the evening ✨

Evri has failed to show up for 4 return pickups. Next said they’d send Parcel Force today. Guess who they actually sent (and didn’t show up)

I’m torn, because on the one hand I don’t think there are enough faerie games out there (WILD that capitalism is missing out on it because of not valuing women as an audience) but also I don’t think that this society is in the place where it can do it well (rich, complex, terrifying) so..

Been a while since I’ve done a podcast and @gothbosscat.bsky.social made it so easy. Hope you like our little marketing chat when it comes out!

Been talking to several ppl who have large game dev budgets but want to spend only 2-5% of the total budget on marketing. No less than 10-20% of your overall budget should go to marketing (including trailers, comms mngr, marketing person etc.). Games should not be made in a vacuum.

Yay, got my ticket. Can’t wait to be back

Creative Director on any type of Malazan Book of the Fallen adaptation

It's been one year since I was laid off, and my contract with Blizzard ends in two months. I'm still looking for my next role as a senior writer or narrative designer! I have over 8 years of experience working in AAA games from live service MMOs to single player. You can find my work on my website.

He senses a disturbance in the force

I’m sure it’s because a myriad of different culture points making the world a mess but I keep seeing *awful* job titles that make no sense for what the roles are and as someone who values words and order I’m at my wits end. Titles in games are already confusing enough without y’all messing with it

Important dopamine recharge

Well yesterday was fun. Pierrefonds did not disappoint

The urge to begin the day flinging these windows open and shouting “bonjour!” is strong

Things keeping me sane/at least happy: ⭐️ trying to write 500 words every day ⭐️ mentoring others ⭐️ making up a game idea for my own mentorship ⭐️ going to fantasy balls

Happy cat

Me doing my game outline design homework after mint having done any design since my masters
