If the first thing you do when you wake up isn’t make a coffee, I simply don’t trust you… ☕️

I mean, I’m very happy where I am, but even if I wasn’t, this isn’t a job I’d want right now… Thanks, LinkedIn 👍

I can’t imagine who all this new Bladerunner and Neuromancer stuff is aimed at…

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.

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.

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

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

We’re having a bit of a clear out and have uploaded a bunch to Vinted, including like new bagged and boarded comics (Marvel, Image, and DC). If you’re curious 👉 www.vinted.co.uk/member/10343... #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovels

Yes, it took me until July 2026 to finish Dead Space for the first time. Pretty good, innit? 👍

Jedi 3 when? Pretty sure it’d heal me.

So, this happened. Heard something snap. Then a metallic crunch. A walk back down the road and I think I found the issue 🫠

Bisexual lighting confirmed over the UK tonight, all in honour of Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

Just a really nice sunset with blues, pinks, purples, and a bit of orange, over a typical new build estate in the UK.

Already been at @team17.com a month! 👀 Been awesome to have the support of a fantastic Community team and wider MarComms group 💜 Working across really fun titles and supporting indie devs is the best.

This credit is SPECIAL 💞 As a huge fan of TMNT since childhood, getting to work on an official game is a dream. The fact @cortopia.com has delivered something this good as such a small team on a fraction of the budget of other devs is staggering. Go play from today 👇

Had a rare childless Saturday so Victoria and I spent it in York doing a secret picnic scavenger hunt. This city is our happy place, for sure. Beautiful. Inclusive. Historic. Some much needed us time 😍

Okay, this might be the best present I’ve ever been given (and the bar is already super high from Victoria). Nothing says belated Valentines like a Norse inspired axe 🪓

Hey, it’s Community Manager Appreciation Day! 🎉 Thank and show some love to your friendly neighbourhood CM of choice today. It can be an emotionally taxing, high pressure job. They make sure your wants, concerns, and hopes are seen and understood by the right people.

Pentiment is an absolute steal right now on the PlayStation Store. Haven’t spent much time in it yet but the humour, setting, and execution seems stellar for a smaller, more focused project.

As a PlayStation gamer with a huge love for the Xbox 360 and the stellar first party titles of that era... I cannot believe I get to play both Halo and Fable on PS5 this year. Two of my all time favourite series, coming to my favourite platform for the first time. Incredible 😍
