Considering how many new games we get per month, it's wild to me that The Game Awards almost always double down on the predictable AAA hits and obvious names. That's why I'm glad alternatives like the Indie Game Awards are popping up instead. Give everyone a chance.

Due to some last minute project changes I'm now available for temporary projects during the rest of November and December. 👇

This game is high on my to play list.

Well, this looks amazing. Now tell us the retail price please! 🤩

Here's a photo of my freelance office desk and a link to today's LinkedIn post about how freelance work isn't the magical life/balance fix that some people think it is. Enjoy! www.linkedin.com/posts/jayner...

This week's new to me game is Oxygen Not Included from the great minds behind Don't Starve. I love the doodly art and cute but challenging design. Every time I think I've mastered it, something goes wrong. store.steampowered.com/app/457140/O...

Given myself a headache because I'm TOO excited about something at work. 😬 Why am I like this?

Whoever pitched this idea is a genius. 🤣🎉🤡

Good morning to everyone except whoever decided that Katy Perry's Fireworks was an appropriate 6am airport tune. 🤮🤔💩🤷 Yes, I am old.

Still can't tell you what the game is, so have more mysterious behind the scenes interviews...

An ex-Super Evil colleague is smashing it on his first Kickstarter game! Give it a look if you love giant mechs and split screen co-op! 🤖🎮 Excited to see this one come together. www.kickstarter.com/projects/die...

If you’ve enjoyed an indie game please consider leaving a review on Steam. It does massively help and the devs and community teams love to read them. Especially around launch when everyone is knackered, a lovely review is such an energy boost.

I am once again asking for your support. 👋 Looking for recommendations on your favourite UK based gaming content creators, particularly those who love indie games and/or are gaming industry professionals too. Surely someone has made a Bluesky list for this? 👀

Good morning to everyone except whoever designed the easyJet pricing structure, bag size limits and stupid online check-in system. You think you've got a good deal on a flight until you see all the essential extra costs added later.

Facebook Memories reminding me of the time I was featured on the Boots Opticians page (from my blogger days) only to receive a bombardment of negative comments about my appearance. This is just one of many reasons I stopped being an "influencer" you need a thick skin to take the constant hate.

New stuff in the eBay shop including PS2 games, 90s VHS, vintage Marvel OverPower cards and Sega Saturn things. Enjoy! www.ebay.co.uk/usr/oddodyss...

Haven't been to HYPER JAPAN in actual years but just seen they're doing one in Manchester next month. Is it worth going to at £25 a ticket? 🤔 Especially given I'm likely going to actual Japan again next year.

Wrote about AI on today's LinkedIn post. Would love to hear your thoughts over there or here. www.linkedin.com/posts/jayner...

Have any of my pals dealt with situations where a film/TV production has had to close businesses for a shoot? Are the businesses usually compensated? Trying to help a local small biz friend with something.

Busy morning already and I haven't even started the freelance stuff yet. Packed eBay orders, rescued a Hedgehog, found where to take the Hedgehog via three different charities and now I've come online to find AWS is down and everything is broken. 🫠🦔

New stuff in the eBay shop including Pikmin Re-Ment figures (my faves), Nintendo Wii remotes and some very cool ONE PIECE things. www.ebay.co.uk/usr/oddodyss...

Lol. I got a copyright claim from the BBC for sharing one of their videos by pressing the share button, I disputed it by explaining that and they rejected it. Why post content on social media if you don't want it sharing? So weird.

Happy Launch Day @doublefine.com I'll be playing this later today!

Guess it's time to tell you all that my partner and I launched a eBay shop earlier this year and it's doing pretty well. 🎊 If you also collect 80s - 90s nostalgia you might want to have a look. 👀Video games, anime, VHS, Happy Meal toys, Pokemon cards and lots more! www.ebay.co.uk/usr/oddodyss...

Who are your favourite UK based games industry people? Can be a professional, agency worker or content creator. It's for a thing.

Are Halloween gifts a thing? Because I'm seeing a lot of ads for them this week and I'm pretty sure it's not a traditional gift giving holiday and marketing teams are just making shit up.

I said I wasn't going to buy anymore MtG cards. However.... variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Been playing Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit from @spryfox.bsky.social on mobile via Netflix Games. Very cute chill game, lovely art style. Here's my camp so far, would recommend.

Made this little collage today featuring some of my influencer marketing project highlights. If you want the backstories, please read my LinkedIn post and drop me a follow. 👇 www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Currently taking freelance bookings from mid-November onwards. 👀 I can help with all sorts of brand, content and marketing things. I also launched an appointment booking system for anyone looking for one-off chats: jaynerobinson-marketing.square.site

It's like this in SO MANY industries right now. Part of me gets it, hiring is hard and time consuming and for companies without big HR departments it's easy to let standards fall. However, if you actually meet with someone, ask them to do free work for you, you AT LEAST owe them timely feedback.

Similar to my Stop Killing Games video, I’d love to chat to game devs about their thoughts on GamePass. If you are a game dev, or know one who has Opinions On GamePass, and would be willing to share them with me (can be anonymous) please reply to this post!

When you can't talk about the game yet but you have @kiddesimo.bsky.social and sandwich based questions. 👏

There's a Dwight from The Office Magic the Gathering Secret Lair collection and it's so dumb, I love it.

This is wild. Instead of finding a real human to be the next Scarlett Johansson they've built an AI that can be completely controlled instead. 🤮 Please let's not do this. variety.com/2025/film/gl...

Jayne was my first Limit Break Mentor she’s absolutely amazing! Highly recommend

This is a great deal on a great game. Highly recommend.

Super useful report from @yrstruly.uk on the gaming creator industry. I often remind clients that most creators have other jobs/responsibilities too. That's why it's so important to have longer lead times and a flexible approach.

Can anywhere recommend somewhere that does picture frames in more unusual sizes? Got a great art print to frame but struggling to find off the shelf options.

These are so cute.

Still can't tell you anything about the game we're working on so in the meantime I'm just gonna made edits like this one.

Anyone else find Instagram weird this week? It's started showing me way more content from people I don't follow and it's kinda ruining it for me.

Visiting Bilbao soon for the Guggenheim and good food. If anyone has any recommendations, drop them to me. Especially good bakeries, Basque food and snacks.

If you haven't watched the anime Dr. Stone, please do. Just finished the latest episodes and I'm still so impressed. Not many shows hit in the feels so hard.

New Baby Steps trailer is hilarious. It's like something you'd stumble upon on Rick & Morty's interdimensial cable. More of this nonsense please. youtu.be/4mNLDRcCvdI?...

Is it just me or have movie trailers become both too long and too detailed? Seen several recently that reveal big plot twists or even character deaths. Isn't the point to leave some mystery so people want to find out what happens?!
