Genuinely one of the coolest moments of my career: unveiling the Slayeux Tapestry for DOOM: The Dark Ages, inspired by arguably one of the most famous medieval artworks, The Bayeux Tapestry. The original took a hundred years to make – ours was, fortunately, significantly quicker!

Absolutely worth applying!!! Not many video roles these days so it’s a gem!

Undeniably brave to quit your job in this games industry economy. It was the right thing to do but also, I can't imagine how difficult it was to publish that story. Good work, I hope the new site thrives.

Marketing role here at Team17 for all you brand folks: apply.workable.com/team-17-digi... Happy to answer questions but only if they are fun ones like "How much Warhammer chat is there?" (Too much) and "How often do you go for birria tacos?" (Not often enough)

We did @yrstruly.uk team photoshoot today and I cannot WAIT for you to see what we came up with x

2024 has been A Year, and this wasn’t as “fun” to write as most lists, but I wanted to give a nod to some of the fab studios that we lost this year. I hope all the devs land on their feet and have a much better 2025 💜 (Cheers to the lovely @imomellor.bsky.social for her work on this script!)

oh god, it's happening, the balatro-likes are upon us

Isn’t it super funny that the ‘I want realism in games’ crowd are also the ‘wait what do you mean the woman alone on a space ship isn’t catering to the male gaze while she does a dangerous and adventurous job where long hair would clearly be a hinderance’ crowd.

Influencer Strategist III - 2XKO Role is open. This is a pretty critical role, so really lean in and sharpen that resume. Don't forget to share your wins. www.riotgames.com/en/work-with...

Lovely to make a little return to games journalism, if just for an evening x

Got to remember to post my food to Bluesky from now on x

OOTD - York day trip edition (no it wasn’t snowing when I left the house :/ )

I’ve never seen such a big conversation of followers from one platform to another. I now have 1k followers on Bluesky, and 200-300 appearing just in the last week. I’ve caught myself opening the app just to scroll without purpose or fear. It’s lovely. It’s weird to be reminded of the old Twitter

GASPED so loudly at my phone that my mum thought somethings bad had happened. No it’s just Balatro is up for Game of the Year at the Game Awards ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awfully rude of me not to introduce Bluesky to Harp, my family dog. She says hi btw ❤️

Shout out to @garyjkings.bsky.social for making me look really cool in this photo from the APWOT launch last week <3

Anyway game of the year is OBVIOUSLY Balatro, I’m confident there is nothing better than big number go brrrrrr

Now is a really good time to remind everyone that I’m still muscle-mommying - just because we’ve moved over here now doesn’t mean my goals have changed >:) x

Gosh I’ve not used this app in a while… but so so good to be back x

So surprised at how quickly Bluesky seems like thes best Twitter replacement within two days of having it. Threads, yeah could be great, but there is something so familiar about Bluesky Threads is missing.
