📣 CALL OUT 📣
I'm looking to interview some indie game devs (Aus only) about the process of making their game and the choices that went into it.
DM me or email me (email in bio) if you're interested!
Life update! I'm now an E-Commerce Writer at Pedestrian Group! I'll be writing across all of the Pedestrian publications and am so stoked to be writing full time.
Spending time in Japan with
@koutonii
has been amazing, even if I’ve been dying with anxiety about this!
I’m so excited to spend the rest of our weird little weeb lives together 💕
It was around this time last year that I officially decided to follow my childhood dream of becoming a journalist. In just one year I've gone from having no published articles to having almost 80 published articles.
Whatever your dream is, you can make it a reality.
An absolute honour considering I started freelancing at the end of 2022. Congratulations to all the nominees and I'm excited to catch up with everyone soon!
Gizmodo, Lifehacker and Kotaku will no longer be published in Australia as part of a major restructure and cost-cutting effort by Nine-owned Pedestrian Group
Up to 40 jobs will go across the business
Guys... I'm going to
@PAXAus
as a content creator!
I'm so stoked and excited to create content this year. I'm also planning on doing some cosplays 👀
Who else will I see there?

When I first started freelance writing in August this year, I was working my day job 4 days a week with 1 day left for writing work.
This week is my first week where I've had enough work that I now have 2 days dedicated to writing 🎉

Hello friends, it's time for me to get back on the horse. If you or anyone you know wants someone to write/yap about games, let me know! Email is in my bio and my DMs are open, and I've got plenty of time free right now.
@lavosaurus
Some of the comments are absolutely disgusting. One guy said men should be 'copping a freebie too' because they pay the 'lion's share of taxes'. Embarrassing.
Had such an awesome time doing some casual days at Lifehacker for the past two weeks. I know now that I definitely want to keep on writing and am so grateful for everyone on the team for welcoming me and supporting me 🥰
Got some onigiri for lunch at a tiny Japanese cafe in Newtown. They have this dog working there. His name is 大きい (ookii). It means 'big' in Japanese. I love him.
Thank you

@shopcrunchyau
for taking such good care of me this weekend! I've had an amazing first PAX and it was so exciting to meet the team.
I watched Ghost in the Shell (1995) for the first time this week and I'm so mad at myself that I didn't watch it sooner! It's such a masterpiece. I immediately wanted to watch it again after I finished it. Ghost in the Shell is real cinema.
Gonna spend the last night of 2022 watching Great Teacher Onizuka to celebrate being able to leave teaching this year and follow my dream of becoming a writer
This is the first time I've been to Japan and seen so many foreigners being *actively* disrespectful. I'm actually shocked and embarrassed.
Please learn some information about a country before you travel there!! And use common sense!!

come and say hi!
This is the preview for The Exit 8, an upcoming PC game about being trapped in a Japanese metro station and having no idea how to find an exit:
"You are trapped in an endless underground passageway. Take a good look around and find a way to escape."
embarrassing to read the comments from the fanbase saying they "don't care", "buff x pls riot".
it's not the time guys. all of this makes me feel yuck and I hope the rioters who are laid off can get back on their feet quickly
Minutes ago, we shared an important update with Rioters about the future of Riot Games. Here’s what these changes mean for our games and what players can expect from us going forward:
I'll be live on Twitch today with some
