Steam Deck ushered in a new type of handheld, I can see this doing the same for PC consoles. Really neat to see the space innovating rather than arbitrary generations that feel the same back to back to back.

Im glad to hear that! Fwiw our emails are always open if you do ever find that to be the case.

Heartbreaking to see so many talented colleagues laid off, and I really hope they land on their feet at somewhere that lets them thrive, but I promise those of us who are left will still do great work like this for as long as we can.

Needless to say, like many amazing others, I'll be available for work. If you need anyone with experience in:

- Video Production
- Video Editing
- Editorial Work
- Writing
- Graphics
- Management

Or just about anything else, because I've learnt so much already, so why not more?

See you around.

Being the youngest at work for nearly six years has been really bleak. Feels like generations of talent are being scared off by this industry and it's hard to blame them.

And I look forward to even more obscure movie recommendations

No matter what they end up doing, they're going to kick ass and do themselves proud.

That means a lot! Still surreal to be working at such a queer, yet mainstream site.

Slaughter High does not get enough credit. Need to make it an April Fools tradition tbh

There's probably a middle ground; a bit of red-faced disaster can be enormously character building imo. It was for me! But that comes from the mistake itself being gently pointed out anyway. Some people just seem to get off on being a holier than thou arsehole

And sadly, there’s a reason we have to write some stuff we’re not particularly proud of. It keeps the lights on.

I’ve done plenty of original reporting over the past year, 95%+ of it has gone largely unnoticed. TGS is just one of many examples of this.
