I’m delighted to say I wrote two chapters in the BEAUTIFUL book A Handheld History 1988-1995 from @lostincult.bsky.social. One is on the rare Coca-Cola Game Gear, and the other is on the wonderful Gargoyle’s Quest from Capcom, a spin-off from Ghosts ‘n Goblins. BUY THIS BOOK, IT’S LOVELY

Writers: Repost a random piece that you're proud of. This piece for PC Gamer was about an online game, Genesis LPMud, that people have been playing for more than 30 years. I love the stories of hidden communities like this, diligently creating their own worlds… www.pcgamer.com/how-players-...

This report found that UK freelance journalists earn an average of just £17,500 a year if journalism is their primary occupation - bumped up to £25,500 with other paid work. That's almost exactly my experience - journalism is not well paid in the UK. d16dqzv7ay57st.cloudfront.net/uploads/2024...
