Seeking new writing opportunities, ideally in or around the gaming and/or XR industries.
I have 5+ years of experience both working in & writing about the gaming industry for multiple outlets, as well as experience producing gaming/XR-focused content for YouTube.
Any leads/tips are appreciated!

I've got a new video up offering a side-by-side look at Cyberpunk 2077 with & w/o path tracing running in #VR on a 5090 FE using Luke Ross' mod. Even dropped down to 80fps the game looks gorgeous maxxed out!
I can't wait until dedicated VR titles look this good.

What's going on at the Meta store?
First Max Mustard and Richie's Plank Experience are removed, now *everything* from Insomniac has been delisted. Some of what I'd consider to be the best #VR games available are now just...gone.
Sad day for preservationists.

The inspirational messages at the end of all his videos helped me through some dark times a few years back & inspired me as I later started my own YT journey, so it was awesome hearing @retr0j.bsky.social call out my suggestion on the latest FGS video!
Thanks for being a massive ledge, Jules!

Since I decided starting a YouTube channel at 40 would be a great idea, I figure I might as well promote it!
I've got a new video up sharing my thoughts on how Apple Vision Pro could affect the XR and gaming landscape. I love the tech of the Vision Pro, but I'm a bit worried about Apple & XR.

On Twitter in one of my threads someone just said "Threads had 30M signups in one day, Bluesky has lost its chance to become the next Twitter" and he may be right, but what he doesn't know is that people here are like "cool, dodged THAT bullet"

When I have to write a story about a game I'm not familiar with, I take the time to gather research from multiple sources to make sure I'm not printing. I don't always get it 100% right, but I make my best effort.
Why are the majority of outlets incapable of doing this w/ VR-focused articles?

The Steam page for the iVRy driver just went live. It sounds like the release is still quite a ways off, but it's exciting seeing how much progress that team is making.
I'm not sure how often I'd actually use my PSVR2 for PC VR, but having the option would definitely be nice.
