there has been a lot of discourse around games that use ai. the dev studio im working at has an amazing in-house art team creating all visual/audio assets without it. you think we need to socialize this or just field questions reactively?

Career update! i'm now doing my PR thing at game dev studio Metatheory (founded by friend and Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin). fyi streamer and media friendos, i'll be hyping a 4v4 Kaiju party battler (think a cozy, easy-to-pick-up-and-play MOBA) among other things

After 6 yrs, I’m leaving StreamElements. Since I love the staff, products, doing their PR, spearheading the creator diversity program, managing TwitchCon, and crafting stream reports, I will still work with SE on occasion in an advisory role. Time to plan my next ft move! LI: tinyurl.com/49pykjx7

I'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas! New email: [email protected] www.polygon.com/23776996/bar...

first they came for our eggs, then they came for our cars, but now they are coming for the Switch 2. They have gone too far!

Today is my 6-year anniversary at StreamElements. Love the cool people and products! The games industry is hitting hard times in terms of the media and pub/dev landscape, but there's still no other industry I'd rather be in. Wait, maybe the cheese industry. Does it come with free samples?

It's so refreshing to be able to share the launch of a new videogame publication instead of the decline of one!! Wishing @dringo.bsky.social and @geoffkeighley.bsky.social the best of luck with this new initiative!!

Big news for StreamElements! Today we officially partnered with Twitch to have our sponsorship campaigns integrated directly into their creator dashboard

I added some more folks in the gaming/creator economy/platform space to my starter pack below, including: @yochriscruz.bsky.social @videodrew.bsky.social @miasato.bsky.social @christiannaj.bsky.social @alicegibbs.bsky.social @mastromarino.bsky.social

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Since plenty of people (like me!) worked at Twitch during formative times, I created a Starter Pack of other former staff to help you find those who helped make it a thing. 💜 I'm happy to add any other former staff who reach out!

The folks at Ico Partners put together this handy tip sheet on how to get started on Bluesky for those in the video games industry h/t @icotom.icopartners.com icopartners.notion.site/Bluesky-Guid... #gamesindustry #videogames #gamedev

PR take on award shows The Game Awards has fans riled about games that didn't get nominated and, soon, those that don't win. If the outcry is loud enough, frustrated publicists will also be winners. Snubbed games are written about as much as those selected since readers prefer stories with drama

I did another update to the LinkedIn PR starter pack with managing requests for inclusion across bsky and li feeling like a full-time job :) I will hold off until tomorrow for another update. Thank you all for your interest!

Since I recently got a bunch of public relations industry followers, what's one of your favorite pr tips (other than having a good story)?

Many of the PR and communications folks who hang out on LinkedIn are expanding their presence to Bluesky. Here is a Starter Pack for those interested in the public relations corner of this app! #Publicrelations #PR #Communications

Since I've gotten to work with so many amazing streamers who have taken part in StreamElements' Creator Diversity Program, I wanted to share some accounts so you can check out their channels: go.bsky.app/Kd5UGxq

I want to start a new wave cover band featuring cats called Take on Meow. This is the content im bringing to bluesky
