I'm looking for anyone in the alternative music scene who covers new releases – journos, podcast hosts, Youtubers, anyone!

I'm dropping a new emo/pop-punk album on Friday and I'd love to send it to you for any reviews/coverage/interviews/etc.

Please tag anyone you know or reach out – DMs are open!

Also, three songs from the new album are now live on YouTube if you fancy having a listen: www.youtube.com/@ryancraddoc...

Yesterday marked the two-month anniversary of launching @amphiepkmn.bsky.social.

In that time, the channel's gained more than 38,000 views and 360 subscribers, all (hopefully) finding something to love in the videos I'm making and getting behind the channel's focus on positive Pokémon discussion.

🚨 Announcement time!

I’m very excited to share details on two projects I’ve been working on – a brand new Pokémon-focused YouTube channel (@amphiepkmn.bsky.social‬), which is live right now, and a full-length album that I’ll be releasing later this year.

Hey, it's been a while!

Announcement Friday, 3pm UK time. ⚡️

Finished Astro Bot and it was just absolutely glorious from start to finish... again!

Prime Nintendo levels of magic, boundless creativity, and it's made me fall in love with gaming all over again. 🎮

🚨 Bluesky gamers!

Which games or game series do you consider to be absolutely essential must-play experiences? 🎮

Everything from the obvious to the obscure is welcome... I'm wanting to play the best games I've missed over the years, and I've missed a lot!

Ideas/reposts welcome 🙏

I hear it's Shigeru Miyamoto's birthday today, happy birthday! 🎁

I'll never forget the time I went to do an interview in London with @nintendolife.com and Miyamoto unexpectedly burst into the room, stole my guitar to play the Mario theme, and admired my Star Fox tattoo. What a day. 😅
