Firstly, to @foxesforsale - thank you for meeting with me on Monday! It was a great start to my week and you are so intelligent and perceptive. I firmly believe we need more people with your skill set and sharp eye in games and I can't wait to see how far you'll go.

To @naviverse - thank you for meeting me for breakfast and sharing time with me. It is always such a pleasure to see you and I'm grateful to know you, let alone call you a friend. Games is lucky to have you, and so is New Zealand.

On the note of @GCAPConf - a huge shoutout to the @gdaa_oz and @snow_gumnut for organising a massive and wonderful conference. It's no easy task and you handled it with grace, kindness, and humour. You should be so proud - and thank you for including me in it all.

To @joepark92 @amydallas @spamoir @lisyk @JairMcBain and @cassjadegray - thank you for sharing a stage with me for our production panel. I had the best time and felt so understood and seen by all of you, and I am so grateful for that. Thank you to everyone who attended, too.

To @nicholasmc1 - thanks for being an absolute powerhouse in what you do. The way you run your business is inspiring and so well thought out, and I had such a great time talking merch with you. You're a gem, even when accidentally encouraging fraud.

@Reelax1_ - you are one of my absolute games week highlights. Getting to see your sweet face is a blessing and I meant every word I said to you. You are a shining light and you will pave the way for so many people. I love you.

@someproducer - thanks for spending the time to speak with me about production. I was such a fan of your work & it was hugely gratifying to hear so much of what you said resonate with how I work. I've also put into place saying skilled over talented, a great tip. Come back soon!

@demanrisu - you are forever working to educate those around you, emotional labour you shouldn't have to bear but that I am grateful for. You speak so well & your panel was a highlight of the week for me. Thanks for always having my back. You too, @Wanderlustin. I love you both.
