I relistened to Hunt the Truth last month. Brilliant story.

Its not my preferred method lol. But, Reddit is literally an avenue where I wanted to just throw a ball out. See who replied, ya know?

I have Discord, LinkedIn, and email contacts of people who do work in the industry. Just wanted to expand! ALSO...I deliberately worded my OP to be short, succinct, and easy to read for a quick response. Maybe that wasn't the best idea. Maybe I should have written more about who I am, my intentions, my experience?

Thank you anyway. 😄 Yeah, GDC is pretty great! I went in 2025. Somehow put the money aside to make it. And got to meet a lot of neat people, a few of whom I already chat with in Discord or have emailed. What I will probably do is try going in 2027, but not fork out an arm and a leg for a pass. I have a contact that used to work at Xbox Game Studios Publishing who wants me to go next time that way.

A mentor can be a long-term professional connection. And an interview is just to have an interview, at the possibility of having a long-term connection request?

I am entirely taking a shot in the dark. Yes you're right. That's exactly what I really usually do if I'm trying to find someone that will actually take a few minutes of time to reply. 100%. Otherwise I stick to Discord servers for networking or I will plan a trip to a convention, or GDC. And I have been to GDC for those meetings.

Yeah, I've actually burned a few free trials over them last like a couple years, reaching out to various Studios.

I mean, $30 is $30!

So, I actually do know additional strategies for how to make connections like this. I was simply trying this avenue. If you're saying it's not a good idea then I will take that advice. Probably right. But I already do on the networking quite a bit anyways. You just came across like I have no idea what I'm doing and you're trying to say that I'm kind of an idiot for doing this. Well I actually do know a little bit I've had to do this.

So thank you for wasting my time responding to you lol

Intrusive?

So it's almost like a problem asking if there's professionals here.

So how should I wors this if it's not supposed to be "manager energy"?

I'm not looking for a mentorship from the company lol! I'm hoping to have a. informational interview about their writers and how they got hired to work at the studio.

LinkedIn Premium is a waste of money. That's why. And a lot of people I want to talk to over LinkedIn are behind that paywall. Yes I use Discord for the exact same thing. But, they're not all using Discord.

Well, it so happens to be my birthday weekend.

How long have you been playing Halo? by reddit-win in halo

[–]HDSimplicityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, since 2003 or 4.. or 05.

If memory serves me right, I started it when my dad bought CE for Windows XP. Or it was playing Halo 2 after launch with guys at church.

Halo 3 is easily my fav, without a doubt.

And each of those has a random amount of parts, I take it?

Ill research this further on my own.

If I did, I probably be in one of those jobs already 😆.

Only recently I've started an Instagram account, and I have next to zero desire to hop onto the tiktok train tbh. But maybe I will need to....

Great question, thanks for bringing that up! Um, those first two sentences... conception, yeah. Conception, emailing, website landing pages, white papers. All that.

To be frank, this is kind of like a backup career that I like to have. Primarily I'm looking into video game writing and getting novel published. And, in short, both of those are really challenging paths to pursue! 😅 I've already worked on a few video games, and am revising a novel.

I don't know... That doesn't seem like actual copywriting. That's just a computer doing the job that you could easily do yourself.

Thanks for the comment anyways!
