I have many thoughts off the back of THAT short-sighted cosy game thread, but in short...
✅ Influencers absolutely deserve to be paid for their work
✅ Organic creator uplift should be celebrated, never dismissed
✅ Forge meaningful relationships with creators
This England team deserve to be lauded as heroes, not racially abused on social media.
Those responsible for this appalling abuse should be ashamed of themselves.
Today is
@FaeFarm
launch day!! 🧚🥳
Super proud to be launching by far the most adorable game I've ever had the pleasure of being involved with! The team have smashed it! ☺️

Well, what have we learned... You can lie and cheat, spread misinformation like there's no tomorrow, attack the most vulnerable in our society, destroy the NHS, duck scrutiny at all opportunity, normalise racism, weaponise bigotry, and you will be rewarded.
This week officially marked the end of my journey at

Speaking of which, I wonder if any of the creators I know like adorable cozy games... 🤔

On the one hand, it turned out to not be a knitted jumper but a super budget printed sweater
On the other, the meme is actually somehow even more apt now 🥲
No money to donate? Can't leave the house due to COVID? Here's a way to still make a difference. Turn off AdBlock and let the ads run. All revenue is going to protester funds.

Just in case there's any confusion...
Using a homophobic slur while gaming doesn't make it a 'gamer word' it just means you're a homophobe
Calling slurs 'gamer words' is exactly how toxic online behaviour is normalised
Friday marked two years for me at
@2K_UK
, which is the longest time I've spent at a company since I was at HUKD.
Thank you to our wonderful game communities, the influencers I work with, and my awesome colleagues for the last two years. You rock 😊🤘
Creators/agencies/industry folks – lemme know if you're headed to Gamescom next month and fancy catching up!
Will be in town from Mon evening through til Friday. Ping me if you wanna have a chat. 😊
📣 UK & IE CONTENT CREATORS! Let me know if you fancy a bit of sci-fi action-adventuring.

It's Friday. I have sent my second audiobook commission for approval and put down a deposit for a wedding venue. I will now consume large amounts of mango bellini and fried chicken. 🥂🍗
If you’re a girl/woman/or anyone tbh interested in getting into games but are worried or nervous or don’t believe you can...
1. You got this 👍🏼

The mail arrived. Two letters. The first, a note from the NHS helpfully informing me that I'm high risk. The second, a pitch letter from L&G for life insurance.
So it's going to be one of those days.
Cake Day 35 🥳
I woke up looking like I've fallen backwards through a hedge, so here's a picture from the weekend just before I ate my weight in scallops and lobster.

I've come a long way since playing the first Borderlands with a bunch of uni mates back in 2009.
As BL3 turns 1, here's a huge thank you to the amazing colleagues, creators and community I've had the privilege of working with since arriving at 2K 😊
Happy Birthday

#WWE2KBattlegrounds
fans....I have two things to say... 📣
1️⃣ If you're a content creator or streamer and you want to get involved, drop me a DM!
2️⃣ You are gonna want to be paying close attention to
@WWEUK
's channels tomorrow morning 😉
It's been so wonderful seeing the positive reception that
#KOF15
has been getting! 🥰
UK&I content creators... let us know if you're keen to cover the game. Console keys are available now, PC from the 17th. 🔑
A near-perfect open world game for me because it practised restraint. All of the gameplay elements were top notch, and it never outstayed its welcome. None of the tedium or bloat that we get nowadays in too many open world games. Also brilliant for not being set in New York.
You may not always be able to pay everyone you want to. But treating creators with respect matters. Being open and honest and having clear communication lines matters. Being appreciative of creators of any size making cool stuff about your game matters.
There's something coming tomorrow just after 5pm over on
@2K_UK
that marks the conclusion of something that it's been a privilege to be a small part of and I can't wait to release it.
#Borderfam
Thank you to everyone who's already reached out, it's been a slightly misty eyed evening 🥹
And cheers for every like, RT, and comment. Please continue to support the channels...I sure will be.
@LulieLu_
does a fantastic job and has been a wonderful partner in crime (and memes)
As soon as we started planning on
#Borderlands3
, we knew we wanted to do something involving the awesome cosplay community. The response was fantastic. So proud of everyone who entered and came to the meets, absolute stars one and all. 🌟❤️
Big props today to the whole team and the human engine behind
#2KDay
. But a special shoutout to
@Armstrong_Bex
for crushing it this week. NBA 2K launches are an absolute madness at the best of times, and she's run point for UK influencer and social things this week like a boss 😊
One of the best parts of working on

Games can be pretty cool. 🙂
