I’ve worked in the games industry for seven years this week. Endlessly surprised I still get to be a CM and do what I do. Let’s reflect… lnkd.in/p/eK3w3SfN #videogames #gamedev #communitymanager #gamejobs #indiegames

I’m terrible at DIY, but I’ve managed to mount a TV and PS5 to the wall. Genuinely proud of myself. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good.

Points shared better than points lost. Rally in the second half has to be commended. Even if we did get lucky with that penalty call 👀 #lufc #leedsunited #MOT

We've got reinforcements from @fortressprod.bsky.social for a CONSCRIPT documentary 👀 See how Catchweight Studio and Jordan Mochi balanced historical accuracy with the needs of the survival horror genre. Go over the top with us on Friday, September 4. #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #Documentary

It’s petty as all hell, but I really enjoy seeing this out in the wild 🤣 Seen today at the Adidas outlet in Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Leeds (Junction 32). #lufc #mufc #football #leedsutd #leedsunited

Echoes of the End is really good. Sure, it has quite linear and dated level design, but it feels like God of War 2016 in the areas that matter. A great LOTR easter egg too where you find a strange ring from looting and get a chance to throw it into a volcano later on… 🌋

Finished Bioshock: Infinite and both Burial at Sea episodes last night. First Bioshock game I’ve played to completion and it was really good! Actually convinced me to give the first game another go. Really liked the aesthetic of this one. Might have seen the twist coming.

Burial at Sea was a nice addition (enjoyed Episode 2 more than 1). The perspective and genre shift in EP2 was a welcome change. The bigger focus on stealth and ammo scarcity added a new dimension to the series that I enjoyed.

Really happy to have passed my probation at @team17.com 💜 Exciting projects, a great team, and an environment where I can push myself out of my comfort zone. Proud of myself for the work I’ve put in. I don’t say that often! #gamedev #communitymanager #communitymanagement #marcomms #marketing

You’re a parent who has survived the first week of the six week holidays. To butcher a popular quote… “The days are long and full of terrors…”

Have never played a Bioshock game until recently. Picked up Bioshock Infinite knowing largely nothing about it or the series. The race segregation angle was a huge surprise. Genuinely gasped when you first meet these two. #bioshock #videogames #gaming #backlog
