#Eurovision is tonight, and here's a hilarious fun fact about it: Israel has started a massive offensive against civilian populations in Gaza with the explicit aim of conquering the entire territory and ethnically cleansing its population, and Eurovision has aggressively refused to give a shit.

I'll be heading to Guildford tomorrow for the Guildford Games festival! 🎮
I booked my ticket many months ago and it's finally time. I'm buzzing to meet some friendly faces and experience my first local games fest.
See you there! ✨

When was the last time you tidied your workspace?
I returned to my desk for more job seeking after making a cup of tea and realized that my desk was too cluttered. I took a minute to put things away and organise.
I'm so glad I did! So if your workspace needs tidying, here's your reminder!

Game funding is hard. But imagine being in a region that is systemically blocked from accessing funding (if the systems even deem to recognise your state), a country under siege & occupation, or categorised as "too political".

These days the existence of junior narrative jobs in video games are few and far between. So how do you get in? Are you just supposed to appear out of nowhere as as a fully formed narrative designer like Athena sprang from the head of Zeus? Fear not! There are things you can do.

So, bad news. The studio I just joined, Thought Pennies, has run into some major trouble and laid off most of the staff. That includes me! I am laid off again! Truly, very bad luck. I was only there two weeks before stuff went down.

Every so often, the 'This is too woke' blather comes up.
Let me be clear. If you say 'too woke' and 'story' together, it's a clear sign that you don't understand storytelling.
Storytelling should spread its net wide. It should reflect the world as it is. It should contain characters of all -

It’s been almost 2 weeks since we released our new game 'Infinite Inside' and I’ve been blown away by the amazing reactions of our players.
With 87% 5 star reviews and an average of 4.8 on the Meta store, I think we can safely say the team did an excellent job for our first internal IP. 🌟

I know her work meant a lot to some of y'all, but it's genuinely long past time to let rowling go. LONG past time.
JKR just donated 70K£ to the fascists group 4women Scotland for their justice fees to have trans women lose all their rights in legal gender marker change on their ID in the UK.
That's almost 82.000€.
