hire Robin!!!!!!!!!!
I’m an experienced game critic/journalist looking for work! I’d love to continue writing about games, but I’d happily consider PR, consulting, narrative, or non-gaming editorial work. I have experience hosting and producing podcasts, and I’m comfortable on mic and camera.

oh yeah? this is a PR crisis? the PR is cringe? that's what's going on here? the situation is that the PR is cringe? we're asking WTF they're doing (from a PR perspective) because so far it's been cringe? "what happened" is shaping up to be crisis-level cringe? i feel like my brain is on fire
“Straight cringe” and it’s about the state smearing a murdered person as a terrorist.
This woman is a parody of Beltway journalists.

this sucks so fucking bad. no one deserves this, but robin least of all. incredible writer, friend, and collaborator. you’d be lucky to work with her!!!!
Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again!
This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasons♥️
