Featuring some of my favourite game-related stories in my special pub
Update: we now have a submission guideline to help you write interesting gaming stories. Please review it before submitting your stories if you are a gaming writer.
Technology, Gaming, Movies, and Social Media on Substack
Dear Gamers and Readers,
I couldn’t curate stories from my gaming publication recently due to the heavy workload of ILLUMINATION and my involvement in the boost program, particularly supporting ILLUMINATION-Curated. My contract ended on 1 July 2024, so I can now allocate more time to smaller pubs.
You may find some interesting, informative, and engaging stories in the list below. Thank you for reading some relevant ones, engaging in them, and sharing them on your social media.
Talking of social media, if you want a laugh, check out this new story featuring one of Elon Musk’s recent funny videos.

Playing games is a passion for me. I started playing games in my early childhood. Therefore, it is one of the topics I write about on this platform. I completed monthly writing challenges and compiled my gaming stories.
Acknowledgment
I’d like to thank, my mentor Dr Mehmet Yildiz, chief editor of Illumination Integrated publications, who inspired and encouraged me to establish this publication and offered free support via his Slack workspace for collaboration.
Dr. Yildiz also kindly posted several of his gaming-related stories to my publication, so I’d like to provide links for interested readers. They are educative and engaging stories.
