You’re probably wondering why I’ve gathered you all here.
Just to reintroduce myself, I’m Rachel from GamesBeat! I write about the games industry and gaming generally.
In my spare time, I talk about The Golden Girls and Perry Mason and play a LOT of RPGs.

In unrelated news, I got to meet my baby niece for the first time! I explained that I, like a good auntie, would teach her everything I knew. She looked at the face on the phone screen with quite charming perplexity, but I think she got the gist.

By the way, I know I posted about the GamesBeat news writer position last week, but I also want to mention that another position is open for a senior account manager. Both are equally fun because you get to work with me!

I feel like cracking a joke about Mike Minotti taking off for Giant Bomb, where he belongs. But honestly it was great having him at GamesBeat for 13 years. He gave us his expertise in gaming and his dedication to the profession of games journalism. gamesbeat.com/thank-you-fr...

I have been with GamesBeat since 2012, when VentureBeat bought a small, community-focused games media site called Bitmob.

Today is my last day at GamesBeat! I love them and am proud of the site's new independent era, but it turns out working two fulltime jobs is a lot! I want to thank everyone there for giving me such a lovely home and for being so supportive! gamesbeat.com/thank-you-fr...

It’s time again for FanExpo and I’m only sorry I can’t offer my husband a moment of adorable bonding like he had last year with @neilnewbon.bsky.social. I had hopes for Walton Goggins, but sadly it was not to be.

Needless to say I will no longer be contributing to Giant Bomb. Nothing but love to all the wonderful people from there and GameSpot.
Jeff was a workhorse and a hero for the way he shouldered so much responsibility there, and I am furious with the way execs treated him.
We aren’t going anywhere.

Well, that was a dream come true. Knew it wouldn't last, though. Out of a job at the moment. But I'll always be doing patreon.com/gamemess
