After surviving two waves of redundancy and the closure of The Loadout, my time at Network N looks to be coming to an end. I'm looking for new opportunities in journalism, copywriting or content creation. If you know of anything, my DMs are open!

Anyway. Enough moping. There are a lot of good souls at NNM who do incredible work that will be looking for gigs soon. I know things are tough still for a lot of people but if you're a commissioning editor or a hiring manager, please consider them.

Hey look it's me, sad on my maternity leave.

My heart sank when I saw this yesterday. And there's gambling links on the site now. I can't imagine this sold for much. I'd have happily paid a little bit to have it back and nurture it.

New NVG Battlefield 6 mode is excellent - more of this, please

Breathtakingly stupid, short-sighted and wrong. Basically waving through the biggest art heist in human history

I was on the fence about whether I'd like Cairn, but my god am I glad I bought it. It's absolutely fantastic.

Thanks to the team at Gamespot for justifying my Escape From Tarkov playtime. My latest: www.gamespot.com/gallery/esca...

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Only half way through, but this is the game of the tournament so far. 15-player mauls, two women lineouts? Give me more. #SAvsNZ #WRWC2025

Finally got around to upgrading my PC and it's a looker 🔥🔥🔥

Fully agree with this and it's one of the reasons that S2 feels like it's been made with completely different source material.

Call me a Scrooge, but the new Mission Impossible film is terrible - hours of exposition for very little action. It really feels like productions teams are terrified of cutting shots these days and films are worse for it

This MSI laptop is absolutely s t u n n i n g

This is gutting. All the best to those hit with layoffs.

A cheeky little bank holiday opinion piece from me here about the possible PSP 2, detailing my form factor fatigue and a desire for truly pocketable handhelds.

Well that's Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 all wrapped up. It's been a while since I last enjoyed a RPG like that. Kudos @warhorsestudios.bsky.social 👏👏👏

It's been a while since I've written anything, but I'm delighted to get my first @trustedreviews.com byline with this review of the MSI Claw 8 AI+ handheld. I've absolutely loved playing on the go - especially on this impressive bit of kit. I just wish the price was a bit more competitive.

Just lost five hours of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 to Epic's cloud save and I want to cry 🙃

There isn't a quick fix for Welsh rugby. There's a systemic problem and the WRU needs to be gutted from the top down.

I can't sleep, I'm literally still thinking about The Traitors. Hand me the popcorn already!

Someone please tell me why I look at something like this and with my games brain immediately think 'environmental storytelling'

Apparently I'm living a double life under my maiden name and getting sweaty in London 🤷🥵

@thecardinall.bsky.social mate, don't buy any tickets off that Gemma girl - I've done my research and she is not legit.
