Feel privileged to have had the opportunity to write about a deeply personal topic in this month's @OPM_UK. I hope to explore the subject of games as therapy further - and hopefully help others who fight the good fight on a daily basis ❤️ #FromSoftware #Anxiety #Bloodborne

OMG, love this article!

"It turns out that slowing down and finding meaning in the little things is actually really fulfilling. It's so easy to forget that feeling you get after helping out a stranger or taking care in your work—regardless of your job title. inKonbini encourages me to take in those incidental interactions, sights, and sounds—even if they seem dull on the surface. Scanning products and stocking shelves has never been so satisfying."

A lovely read from an actual museum employee - which now has us wondering which real life museums are haunted 🤔😱

[PC Gamer @pcgamer]

As a real life museum employee, I'm a bit confused by the amount of pirate ghosts in Two Point Museum—but it's not going to stop me trying to make the most realistic exhibits I can. https://t.co/UdLUe0DiZI

[Emma Withington @EWithingtons]

I've not felt able to post here for some time, and it's unlikely I will be going forward - I am still contactable here for now and will check sporadically, but Instagram and Bluesky will be my main bases 💚
