Indies, developers, publishers and agencies, press, influencers and content creatores, there's a new feature on

: Events
Events is a unique feature designed to further democratize and enable faster, more effective communications and bookings.
A thread 🧵
You know when people don't pay you, that's bad. When they continue to ignore your emails requesting payment, that's worse.
So if you're a you're a developer that has chosen not to pay us, be warned that I am going to name and shame you tomorrow.

Over the next month, you're going to see games announced by Microsoft, Sony and 3rd parties that blow your mind in terms of graphical fidelity.
Keep your eye out for those indie games, though, because that's where the real magic is.
Someone asked me why they hadn't heard from me today. This is why.
Add to your wish list now, and get excited if you're hyped for Xbox Series X.
Every single frame of the trailer is in-game. Not in-engine, but in--game.
Martha Is Dead, a murder-mystery horror set in the closing days of WW2, is coming to PC and next-gen in 2021 - and we have an exclusive new trailer and gameplay to show you:
I will name the game you're currently working on too. And the press that follow me will know you aren't paying people for their hard work.
Contracts are there for a reason.
Don't be dicks.
@DPJHodges
Mate, what is your problem?
Has any Tory published anything? Then why should Rayner, when every single involved body has stated there's no case to answer?

you should probably do some research and educate yourselves.
He's one of the best there is, literally doing great work for you, the community. He's an oustanding journalist.
Sitll waiting for a podcast invite tho.
As Monkey says, this is to ensure Roman doesn't have Chelsea seized as an asset. He will still control the holding company, but will not be in direct control of the club.
That's the holding company that Chelsea FC owes £1.5bn to. No such thing as a free lunch.

The briefed explanation given by

Is not reliable, because of the audio, as Halsey states.
The linesman is mic'd up, and will say Offside, Number x, middle, or something similar (he has to use his flag to indicate what part of the pitch also.

I went to visit my Nan today. She had a wicked smile, and I got a few of them, some laughter, cuddles and kisses today. Parkinson's and Dementia had taken their toll, as had a fall and a recent hip replacement, but today was a good day.
She passed away while I was driving home.
This little boy is off on a great adventure.
Very soon, the vet will be stopping by to help him on his way, and we as a family are very sad to see him go.
He's an old man now, but Oscar has always been my boy. Always will be.
Liana once fought the elements and attended an online press event while a TORNADO was outside.

2023 kicked my ass; It had some of my biggest health—physical and mental—challenges, I had to bury people closest to me, lost my dream job, my family, and my future and even with all of that, I’m at peace going into 2024. Life is change, it’s fluid, and…
The official F1 game should add a Michael Masi scenario where you're in control of a race with two laps to go, he changes the rules and says "it's called motor racing"
Ten years ago, my wife and I had to save every penny we had to get married.
This time, my wife gets everything she wants, so we're renewing our vows on a beach in Mexico, where we had our honeymoon.
Nice day, right?
Prediction about Death Stranding:
It will be boring, and you will all be disappointed.
Despite this, it will still get a metacritic average of 9/10, instead of 6/10.
Drive.
If someone wants the job, they'll show me how much they want it in the interview.
Arrogance is the worst trait. Be confident, but don't believe you'll ever stop learning.

Procedural politics because the tories didn't have the numbers.
I hope the sit in private motion fails so we can see what a shameful bunch they are.

Don't believe everything you read, especially when it's a former employee making said claims. (In which case, don't believe anything).
To the six people who sat there chatting while my daughter fell in the river, and continued to just chat while my wife and daughter were in tears ans covered in mud after, please know how deeply disappointed I am in you as human beings. Thanks for your help. You can all fuck off.

The UK reported 55,000 positive Covid-19 tests yesterday, but Primary schools are opening next week, and most other schools are too.
Bangkok had 279 cases yesterday, so is closing all schools.
Let that sink in

@WiredP
employee.
Keep an eye on them, because these great people have brilliant games coming over the next couple of years.
Very proud to have been involved in a tiny part of what they've achieved so far.
I am 44 years old today, and I've been up since 5.49am for no reason.
Because of this, here's a thread on things I've learned in life so far:
1. Be a good human.
It really doesn't take much work. You will get so much out of life by doing this.
I just wrote my goodbye message to my Grandad for his funeral tomorrow.
I know I'm incredibly lucky in that I've gotten to 41 before he passed, and I'm doing my best to learn, but this is heart-breaking.
Will be strong tomorrow for mum, but lord, do I need a beer with friends.
Today I've had lots of messages for my birthday, and I've been reminding people for days.
As we get older, people tend to forget about the big kids, but I do feel seen today. Thank you.
Also, I got sent flowers. It is great to receive flowers as a man.
@Matt5cott
I don't know what planet you're on, but if you get anywhere near to controlling City as we did in the second half, I will be amazed.
Liverpool have eight first team players out - City played their strongest team, and couldn't get on the ball.
When you've won anything, you can
Mourinho has three of the top five club spends in Premier League history when taking into account inflation, and the market wasn't crazy.
The other two are Manchester City.
Mourinho is the highest spending manager in thr history of the Premier League.
Always hated Liverpool
Steam curator asked why they couldn't access
@press_engine
I sent them the video where they were caught selling codes from another platform on Kinguin
Steam Curators can no longer sign-up to the platform.
John Woodcock was suspended for sexual harassment claims, and jumped before he was pushed.
I highly doubt Labour were counting on his vote. Or his integrity as an decent fucking human.
John Woodcock, who quit Labour last year, says that with "a heavy heart" that he cannot support the confidence motion tonight. Says Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell are "unfit to hold high office".
We have freelancers. They get paid three-four days after they submit an invoice at the end of each month.
Some might say that isn't good business, when we could pay on 30 days. I don't care. These are people, and people should be looked after.
Are you a freelancer? Would you like to do some paid work for

That's why it's bollocks.
The PGMOL can't be relying on that as a defence, and nor can England.
If that's true, they all need firing. I know kids who called it live, correctly.

Four years ago today, I started a PR agency.
It became very successful, very quickly. Four years later, I've learned so much, including how to sell a business.
There now follows a few tips:
@Chris_Dring
I don't think the big bets have failed at all. GamePass is a massive success. Just because not everything works as planned, doesn't mean nothing worked as planned.
I had my Grandad's funeral at 11am, followed by my wife's cousins funeral at 3pm.
It was a pretty shit day, but then
@RageClubTwitch
raised over £10,000 for
@SafeInOurWorld
and I am amazed, and what was a shit day has been made so much brighter.
Thank you so much!
I'm 5" 6 and 14st 3lbs (90.9kg / 200lbs). I can't really go on like this, so I'm not going to.
There will be no videos, photos or fitness journey. I just need to change things dramatically.
This shows the scale and speed of spending once Chelsea and City were taken over, buy also the recent spending spree by United.
For any of their fans to accuse Liverpool of trying to buy the league is ridiculous.
My six year old scored his first goal today and assisted another.
I was the ref, so I couldn't help but give him a massive cuddle in the middle of the game
Very proud Dad.
Today, I'm legally allowed to start a PR agency as a restriction from the sale of my first company expires.
There are two rules of entertainment:
1. Always keep your audience wanting more.
A tip before I go on holiday to Mexico for two weeks tomorrow instead of Gamescom?
Do not give a solitary shit about what anyone thinks about you. It's nice to be liked, and it's good to be nice, but honestly, be happy with yourself.
Life is too short to worry so much.
My wife just text me to comiserate me for not winning at the

When dealing with any ministers of state, or governmental departments, there are ALWAYS emails leading up to arrange scheduling. I know this from experience.
Are they saying the attendees turned up at the location, date and time by accident? Sheer powers of the mind?
@JeffGrubb
Isn't this article praising Sony for the very stuff Microsoft was hounded for in the days of Don Mattrick? (Claps, because I said Don Mattrick)
It's important to celebrate talent within our industry. So, when I was asked about campaigns I thought had done well in the last 12 months in PR,, of course I took the chance to point out some awesome people.

Now all the important stuff from today is out of the way, today we had our third death in the family this month.
My faith is faltering somewhat. The Eldest boy is in tears again, and I don't want to eat dinner.
Fed. Up.
Update:
I won't be naming and shaming today. Apologies for any disappointment. It seems this tweet got quite the reaction,
New followers - hi!
For those who offered support, thank you. It's always nice to know people have got your back.
I've been married to my wife for 12 years today.
This afternoon, she was feeding my Nan like she's known her all her life, because she loves her.
I'm very lucky, so I'm taking her to eat food in public, so she knows just how much I adore her.
Year One finishes in a few weeks for
@LittleBigPR
- we're still here, and doing pretty fucking well.
Eight people work for us, we're a solid business, and there's a lot more to come.
I'd call that a great start.
Incredibly sad to hear the news about Jonathan Fargher. He was an absolute gentleman, and generous with his time and advice - one of the best PR people I worked with when he was a journalist.
I've got so many great stories, but here's one of them.
Cherish the good days and share all of the love you have with those in your life with an open heart, whenever you can.
I'm going to be off here for a bit, because she meant the world to me.
Love you, Nan, and thank you for the extra cuddles today x
