Okay, this might be the best present I’ve ever been given (and the bar is already super high from Victoria). Nothing says belated Valentines like a Norse inspired axe 🪓

Not my wife using her spare wool to make me a Kindle cozy 😍

Ye Olde Starbucks ☕ Not every day your coffee comes with an English Civil War history lesson as you sit next to a wood-carved fireplace and suit of armour. Attercliffe Common, Sheffield, UK.

Hey, it’s Community Manager Appreciation Day! 🎉 Thank and show some love to your friendly neighbourhood CM of choice today. It can be an emotionally taxing, high pressure job. They make sure your wants, concerns, and hopes are seen and understood by the right people.

Pentiment is an absolute steal right now on the PlayStation Store. Haven’t spent much time in it yet but the humour, setting, and execution seems stellar for a smaller, more focused project.

As a PlayStation gamer with a huge love for the Xbox 360 and the stellar first party titles of that era... I cannot believe I get to play both Halo and Fable on PS5 this year. Two of my all time favourite series, coming to my favourite platform for the first time. Incredible 😍

Walking through our village, just casually taking reference photos for my Fantasy novel.

Come on then, Monday. Let’s do this… ☕️

Moved all of my planning, world building, and reference files for my novel to Milanote from Notion and it’s so much better for me as someone more visually inclined. So easy to navigate to what I need and the inbuilt templates for novelists and writers are great! Would recommend.

I used to be an avid reader, but have fallen off in recent years. Set myself a modest goal of 12 books this year. Totally doable, I know, but I’m a slow reader and didn’t wanna overwhelm myself. It’s only January 10th and I’m 30% of the way through the first one 🙂📙

Most anticipated games of 2026 (for me).

Time to turn off the out of office…

2025 was a difficult year for us as a family. Health scares, a not fun living situation, sudden loss of a job/all financial security. If it wasn’t for the support of friends, family, and online strangers I don’t know where we’d be. Thank you! 💛 Here’s to a better 2026!

4 games that defined my 2025

Is the design of the little fella you play as in Thank Goodness You’re Here a nod to Shaun of the Dead…?

POV: You just made a post from a video game brand account…

After today myself (and a lot of @cortopia.com) are out for the winter break. See you (professionally) in 2026 for the Year of the Turtle 😉 Now, time for recreational gaming, reading, and a house move 🫠

I sometimes get to pitch names for games and updates. My suggestion was in the final two for Synapse while at nDreams. It was very nearly “Abstraction.” So close. I’ll take the team picking my name for the new GORN 2 update as a win! Long live “Dungeon Brawler.” Gotta love a play on words 💪

[⚠️TW: Medical] Could have done without a Sunday evening trip to A&E 🫠 Three nurses, a doctor, and a vein scanner to get blood out of me. Clearly don’t like sharing…

Four brothers. One city. Endless pizza 🍕 Go behind the bandana in VR for the very first time 🥷 TMNT: Empire City launches in 2026 for Meta Quest, Steam VR, and Pico. Wishlist now 👉 https://bit.ly/tmntec #VR #VRGaming #VRGames #VirtualReality #TMNTVR

My wife started crochet a couple months ago and now she’s making stuff like this…it’s very impressive! 😍 Little ode to my TMNT obsession and my work at @beyondframes.bsky.social 💚 Gotta love Leo ⚔️

Been in the games industry a bit longer than this, but five years ago I made the switch to become a Community Manager 👀 Cannot believe how fast that time has gone and all of the projects I’ve contributed to since. Getting to do it now at @beyondframes.bsky.social has been ✨AMAZING✨

So, my daughter got her first crush and it’s Jinu from KPop Demon Hunters… She’s said “He’s got such nice hair and a beautiful voice. I love him.”

My wife has been learning how to crochet 🧶 She’s gotten really good and picked it up so impressively quick. She’s just presented me with a homemade Christmas stocking and I think it might be the most adorable thing.

Ordered my wife a book. Amazon literally just delivered an empty parcel to my door 📦

My personal nominations for game of the year (inclusive of games I actually played for the first time this year).

Trying to play video games as an exhausted parent 😴 I miss the simpler times when I could just turn something on…🫠

Viral marketing for Battlefield 6 is getting out of hand…

Hey VR content creator mutuals 👋 If you'd like the heads-up about future TMNT: Empire City and GORN 2 opportunities, drop me a DM ✉️ I'll be helping out going forward 💛

The last major update for Halo Infinite and the end of an era. A great example of turning it around post launch with community feedback. Halo Infinite multiplayer is not just some of the best in the series, it’s some of the best multiplayer in games, period 👏

Ever wanted a re-release of the original Killzone trilogy? @gog.com Dreamlist is a player voted on wishlist of games. GOG pursue IP holders, developers, and publishers to try and get new titles added to their service based on player demand. Go vote 👉 www.gog.com/dreamlist/ga...

Halloween is dead. Long live Christmas.

Happy 21st, Killzone 🎉 I can’t believe it’s been a year since we launched Killzine: A Killzone Fanzine and hosted the KILLONE20YEARS multiplayer event. We’d love to see the series return, but until then, thanks to Guerrilla and PlayStation past and present for all the memories 🫂🤍

As a parent of young kids who rely on their body clock to wake up…I think we should ban daylight savings. 5am is my new 6am…

My PS5 DualSense fell off the entertainment unit last night and now it has THE WORST stick drift and is pretty much unusable... The week can only get better (already) 😵

Excited to join @beyondframes.bsky.social as their new Community Manager! 😍 Working on TMNT: Empire City is genuinely a dream, and I’ve been very lucky to get that chance. Big thanks to Maeva, Ace, and Annika for sharing their toys with me. Turtle Power, friends 🍕🐢

A heartfelt moment between a three year old and their Dad, born from a shared love of Rocket League 😍 📰| www.playyour.games/kids-love-ro...

Antonela set such a high bar for community work throughout her time at 505, and has influenced others (including me) being able to break into and succeed in games. I actually wrote up my experience recently (so, its good timing). playyour.games/taking-control/

Very excited to have my first piece up on @uploadvr.com 😍 I was actually a games journalist before becoming a Community Manager, and its been really fun to flex those muscles again. Thanks to @henrystockdale.com and @glitchfandango.bsky.social for the opportunity. www.uploadvr.com/my-monsters-...

I'm working on a little something and I need feel good, positive stories from in and around games to work with. Whether it's a personal story or something you've seen within the games communities you're active in, I want to hear about it!

Absolute pleasure getting to guest on @crossbuttonvr.bsky.social and talk to Reece all about my career (so far) and the work we did for Killzone's 20th anniversary. If you're a fan of video games and virtual reality, be sure to go give him a follow/sub ❤️ 📺 Watch here: youtu.be/nzm2sVwZ-Ro?...

This is my peg family. There are many like it but this one is mine 😍

Hadn't realised that I'd been included in the credits for Empyreal! 😍 A lovely gesture. I worked on this at Sumo for a short time around last year's Steam Next Fest and their demo beat. You can currently get the game for less than £9 on Steam (67% off)! store.steampowered.com/app/1377700/Em…

Honestly, wtf. To everyone who shared, donated, DM'd, sent a message of support, spotlighted vacancies, etc...thank you so, so much. An update: gofundme.com/f/help-a-fam...

My family and I really need your help. At the moment, we don't have enough money to survive October. It has taken a lot of swallowed pride to post this. gofund.me/859e98714

Going into a new week, hoping to hear back from the interviews I had last week 🤞

Thoughts on URLs that don't end in .com? Like a cutesy .gg for game sites or a .info for portfolios?

My wife and I have started a small online, second hand bookshop to tide us over 📚 Its been lovely. Just added a bunch of new books including Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, and Percy Jackson. Pre-loved books and affordable escapism here 👉 www.vinted.co.uk/member/10343...

Just while I find myself in between roles, I've been working on my own side project for the last few days. One of those ones where you get so engrossed you don't realise it's 2am. Its been rad. Make sure to make time for your passion projects. Yeah, I'm talking to you! 🫵
