Going from a toe-dip into BlueSky to a full-body plunge, so a quick intro:
Hello, I'm Ben! I've written for OPM UK and GamesRadar+, but now I'm working as a senior social media manager for We Are Reach.
I'll be posting about cats, cricket, and games... but mainly cats, so please enjoy these photos

As this government came to power I and many others urged them to scrap the two-child benefit limit, which would instantly have taken 250,000 kids out of poverty.
Not only did they not do that, their policies will now push a further 250,000 people (inc 50k kids) into poverty. Deeply demoralising.

Viktor Antonov was gaming’s greatest architect. City 17 and Dunwall were bold visions of our forever battle with authoritarian control; places where an imposed brutalism tried and failed to crush the life out of vibrant, crumbling European culture. His voice was vital and I’ll miss it terribly.

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

Turns out Pyramid Head in Silent Hill 2 isn't that scary if, as my wife decided to do, you call him Tin Head instead

🥂 Aaaaand that's a wrap on 2024! We've been busy gathering stats on what the team's been loving this year, and we've found Reach's overall fav films, games, and TV series of the year.
Did we miss any of your favs? Or did we get all the good stuff covered? 👀

The cruelty of this is hard to fathom. Children deserve so, so much better. Section 28 days are back
More cis people need to be vocal & hardline on trans issues, this is undoubtedly another step towards legislating all trans people out of existence. This is happening. People are going to die

BREAKING: I have seen confirmation that the indefinite puberty blocker ban for trans kids that was passed by the NI Executive yesterday will be UK-wide. It will come into effect on January 1 2025 when the temporary ban expires.
It is being laid before Parliament today.

Probably as good a time as any to announce here that I was recently hit by the rampant games industry layoffs, and I’m looking for work!
Four years writing for Xbox Achievements and PlayStation Trophies, and two years games PR at Honest.
Looking for games PR and comms roles, I’m really good at it!
