My gaming laptop’s motherboard died a few weeks ago, so whilst sorting that out I’ve been checking out The Hundred Line: Last Defence Academy on my Switch - what a game! The sync of this tune with *that boss fight* was insane, really enjoying this game!!!

Been checking out @deadasdisco.com today and holy hell is that SNF demo cool! I love rhythm games but being able to import your own tunes and fight in sync with them is amazing - it’s a lot of fun!!!

Had a great time checking out @playwildgate.com last night! The game’s really cool, it’s like Star Wars Battlefront 2 meets Outer Wilds.

However, I can’t lie - it’s just so damn difficult! We kept dying to much higher level players, was tough to keep up!!

Thanks Kate! Still can’t believe it all myself, I feel very lucky to have been invited!!

Me talking at La Caravane, Shawinigan, Quebec 2025

Me talking at La Caravane, Shawinigan, Quebec 2025

Had a fantastic time leading my first indie PR workshops at La Caravane in Shawinigan this weekend!

They have such a supportive game dev community, and I’m pleased that people approached me saying they took lots away from my talks! Looking forward to more speaking opportunities in the future!

Can’t quite believe I’m in Quebec this weekend at the La Caravane Entrepreneuriale, giving workshops on games PR trends, tips and takeaways!👾

I am kinda (very) struggling with French - my AS Level isn’t helping as much as I thought (I got a D, 11 years ago 🙈), but I’m so grateful to be here!! 🇨🇦😂

Had a fantastic time at BCU’s Innovation Fest yesterday. Wonderful to hear about the future of games courses and meet students working on exciting projects!

I am incredibly excited to be speaking at and taking part in La Guilde du jeu vidéo du Québec's Ubisoft Entrepreneurial Caravan on behalf of Plan of Attack this year! I can't wait, it's going to be a fantastic event!

Pumped that The Traitors is back on the tele! It’s reality TV at its best form, I’m such a fan, I love it!

Supervive screen of Ollie ranking up into Platinum

Really enjoying #Supervive at the moment! Think it’s a fantastic mix of MOBA, BR and hero shooter elements in one wickedly intense package.

Really hope it finds success in early access, it’s a joy to jam with mates after work!

Why Am I So Single at the Garrick Theatre, London

Back to work after a week’s holiday enjoying London’s best spots, had a brill time seeing Jacob Collier, checking out the new ‘Why Am I So Single’ musical and exploring various museums and exhibitions.

Now to crack on with the hundred of emails in my inbox!

Had a fantastic time at @brumindies.bsky.social’s Christmas party! Somehow managed to win the Christmas quiz - and with that, this exclusive token of festive honour 😂🎄🤶

Such a fun evening!

I missed Battlerite! Yeah, I’m having a blast with Celeste and, shamefully, Hudson - he’s so broken at the moment!!

How are you finding the game? I’m having a sick time, it’s really fun and SUPER high action 🤘

Hoping to compete in the UK WCS Championships, we’ll see!

Happy birthday, hope you’re keeping well!

Coming up to two years! Looking to dip my toes in competing next year too, we’ll see!

I’d love to be added, thanks for assembling this!

Won my second game of #Supervive! Really enjoying the creative mix of MOBA, BR and strategy mechanics, it’s a lot of fun and surprisingly simple to pick up.

🎸 I’m also a professional musician, playing with Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra

🕺🏿🕹️ Big fan of dancing WCS and SBK, and playing competitive games online!

You. Yah, you. How about you try some new podcasts? Maybe some new gaming outlets for news? Maybe one of those independent outlets. Hmm? What do you have to lose? This ain't Twitter. Don't make me give you a list.

Oh wait... I will.
