Unfortunately, my time as an Editor for TheGamer.com has come to an end.
I met some of the best coworkers I've ever had there, I learned and grew a lot.
If anyone is looking for a journo, especially for guides, reviews, VR, horror, and farming RPGs, I'd love to hear from you.
Valnet unfortunately let go of the entire TheGamer features team today alongside several other staff members.
Many incredibly talented and hard working writers I've had the pleasure of working with over the past several years.
I got laid off from TheGamer today, along with the entire Features team (go give
@epicswitzer.bsky.social
and
@hallafyre.bsky.social
a follow!)
Needless to say, I'm now looking for work. I'm open to roles in:
-Journalism
-PR
-Copywriting
-Copy editing
-Games writing
-Scriptwriting
In light of being laid off from TheGamer today, I don't intend to let my passions die out. I'll continue to create work independently, and keep that excitement for whatever opportunities come my way in the future.
This was a dream career, and I'm not done with it yet.
So sorry to see you go, dude. Thank you for all your help with everything in the last few years - you helped me survive my first con and I will forever be thankful for the lessons irl and in edits 🙏🏻
Bit of personal news: after four years, I've been let go from @thegamerweb.bsky.social and am a free agent!
If you need someone with half a decade of TCG and tabletop and over a decade of video game coverage experience, please get in touch at joe@joeparlock.com!
Loved getting to analyze one of my favorite comedians’ jumps into horror 🙏🏻 Thanks for teaching me about comedy AND horror, Zach! www.thegamer.com/comedian-hor...
