there are hardly any writing tips I think are worth anything at all -- any path is good, I don't trust any maxims about which one works better or is more valid or results in deeper/harder/better work -- but this is a sound principle.
WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.
Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.
Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

I'm a person who just reaches for something to read at any given time. my conscious mind won't register that the paper I've grabbed is the Onion and I'll be reading and suddenly go "wait what" because the headline is e.g. "Federal Hemp Ban Threatens Local Guy’s Whole Deal." subscription recommended

I mean, nobody should have to go to the store on Thanksgiving for butter. And NOBODY SHOULD GO WITHOUT DESIRED BUTTER ON THANKSGIVING. This is just how it is.

I've never had any issues getting credited (yet), but credit status is completely irrelevant to what goes on my CV. Companies control the in-game credits and shouldn't be dicks about it, I control my portfolio and will accurately list my experience.
This should not be controversial. You did the work, list the experience.
My controversial take is that if you didn't get credited on a game you have proof you've worked on, just list it on your CV.
I do with one. Never had any issues.
Not being credited still sucks but you don't need to be polite when they're not.

I’ve run into two destiny 2 fans at Disneyland so far who commented on my saint tattoo. Cast members have good taste.
