Quick work update! I’ve been doing more SEO and behind the scenes work these days, so I’ve had to say goodbye to guides for the moment, and pretty much any other type of video game coverage. So except for some ongoing commitments, I’m waving goodbye to vidja game journalism for now 👋

The Alters has been fantastic so far! I’m not too far in, but it’s amazing how much more I enjoy survival crafting mechanics when it’s not just the same fantasy woodland with a bare bones story to explore. Same with Dune Awakening. Looks like sci-fi survival games are a new fav. Uh oh 😅

Folks, it's time for *that*.
You know, the part where we ask for money.
We've shown you we can do the work, but if we want to keep doing the work, we need some support. Help us prove there's an audience for good writing, and better writing about games and other media.

*Awkward life update alert*
After 3 incredible years, I’ve left Eurogamer to return to freelancing. Still a huge fan of all my astoundingly talented friends at EG, and their puns. But life plans got in the way, and I had to make the hard decision to leave.
