It's mostly true across many sectors, but it's easy worse in games. Has been for the 15+ years since I joined the sector. I think a lot stems from a history of idolising music and film production, whilst making 😱software😱

Anyone use/know of any social media client which allows me to follow people across channels? I don't care where they post, I just wanna follow the person not pick a platform

Even for a small event there were too many cool folks to get to chat to everyone. Thoroughly enjoyed your panel though, well done!

- RSS / RSS Readers

What I'd give for a personally curated, manageable feed of #content from people who's work I know and enjoy

It was 2:20 by the time I got home after leaving London at 7pm 😭

No regrets though, totally worth it to get to hang out with games industry friends. Not too proud to admit I've struggled a bit lately and it really filled me up to share space with thoughtful, passionate games folks again.

Me: Yeah trains' not too bad from middle-of-nowhere, Wales. I quite enjoy the thinking time.

Trains: Delayed. Cancelled. Cancelled. Enjoy your 2am home time 👍

We've not formally planned/announced it yet 😅. Will keep you posted.

(@lyndyb.bsky.social @ashleygwinnell.bsky.social adding this to my brain dump 😁)

Sadly not 😭
My next airing will be the post-Pitch Up! Social in Bristol on 4th Nov which you should definitely be at if you're free!

Did a Viva Games IP & Licensing.

Lots of food for thought for the opportunities of brand & IP relationships for Game Devs and a bunch of cool people.

Plus I got this rad comic 😎

It was a fun angle but genuinely was a huge 22" pizza 🍕

Owen and Anisa looking teenie tiny compared to a massive pizza

Our Manchester tour guide, @perky.bsky.social delivered the goods for @limitbreak.co.uk. Giant pizza at Nell's was an inspired shout 🍕

@studioanisa.bsky.social for scale

Likewise! Thanks for coming along 💖

Birmingham was class, thanks to all the @limitbreak.co.uk committee, mentors and mentees who joined us. Next stop, Manchester!
