@James_Batchelor @sophiemjourno

I blame @mariedeal and @sophiemjourno for getting me hooked on this one

@x_GemGem You are literally the best and one of my most fav people in this industry and I really hope that, whatever comes next, I get to work with you one way or another <3

✨ Bittersweet announcement time ✨ My time at GamesIndustry.biz will be coming to a close at the end of the year. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times! Full thread on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/maried…

Semi regular reminder that I don't use Twitter anymore because it's terrible and if you follow me on Bluesky maybe I'll post about Gamescom Asia and how I'm dealing with Singapore's weather (I'm not doing well): bsky.app/profile/maried…

Just to reiterate: I'm not here anymore, find me where the grass is greener (and less fascist maybe): bsky.app/profile/maried…

👋🏻 find me on BlueSky please and thank you: bsky.app/profile/maried…

@sophiemjourno Omg Sophie!!!! Yay 😭🥰

kinda at a loss for words, but i've been shortlisted for journalism impact of the year at the MCV women in game awards?! i've only been working in the industry fully for just over a year, this is mindblowing 🤯

@mubly Aww mannnnn. Their loss, you rock ❤️

And that's my redundancy confirmed. After 2,578 days at Splash, it's time for a break. Credits on: ⭐ Dirty Bomb ⭐ Gears 4 ⭐ Gears 5 ⭐ Gears Tactics ⭐ Halo: Master Chief Collection ⭐ Outcasters ⭐ Maneater ⭐ Star Wars Hunters ⭐ The Expanse: A Telltale Series

Feels like a good opportunity to say that I'll be attending Gamescom Asia this October! ✨ Very exciting!!

@yourkyotowife Gorgeous!! ❤️

Gamescom fits? Sorted.

@CoreyBrotherson Congrats!! Well deserved!

Erm... wait, what 😮 (Massive and overwhelmed thanks so much to all, I still can't even process this being an actual thing. Incredibly honoured. Expecting to discover it was all a strange dream when I get up in the morning...😅)

@DaniellePartis damn it I was so sure I met you once :o I even have vague memories of working with you... 😱

@astralberryy Same situation here, been in the UK for nine years, absolutely excruciating not to be able to vote 😩

With comments from @serkantoto, I discuss why, beyond Tango Gameworks, Japanese companies have haven't followed the trend seen internationally of instigating mass domestic layoffs and have even seen a relative growth in employment and wages

Your must-read for the day, from the always wonderful @socialanigirl - great insights about the Japanese industry and why it's been mostly sheltered from layoffs, featuring analysis from @serkantoto

As emails start pouring in my inbox already, now is a good time to say I'm not attending Gamescom this year because I decided to take holidays instead. Shocking, I know. Please direct any Cologne-related opportunity to people at GI who are not me

Everything is miserable but talking to the lovely Wholesome Games team was not, and seeing the Direct restored my faith in humanity a bit 🇵🇸 Read my chat with @kimchica25 and @matthewtc about this year’s show and Wholesome Games’ enduring importance gamesindustry.biz/the-wonderfull…

so, um, i got to interview @remedygames about night springs. i know. i'd say more but it would just be a string of incoherent excitement 🥹 special thanks to @RiotRMD, @TimePirateNinja, @yourpalclay, and nathalie jankie for chatting with me ✨🌀 gamesindustry.biz/remedys-no-hol…
