I'm begging the small local community groups in Ireland to please consider reframing their use of AI design work this way. The amount of drama and theatre groups in my sphere that I see using AI posters now just makes me sad.

Quite a mix. Cyber Jack was a very silly sci-fi Die Hard knock off starring Michael Dudikoff with Brian James chewing the scenery as the bad guy who wants to infect itself with a computer virus. #LetterBoxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Can’t believe they fixed that they fixed this thing that was mildly annoying. When they put these traffic lights in at the end of my road the bicycle and pedestrian crossing lights were put in the wrong places. Well this week they swapped them.

One of the best games every made. Top 5 for me.

Every couple of months someone on reddit asks some variation of "What's the most violent thing that happened in a children's show" and someone near the top posts this gif from Infinity Train and you wouldn't believe the amount of joy it brings me.

Tiberpunk - a game I designed with @chrisbacke.bsky.social - is on Kickstarter and kicking ass. Be a hacker in ancient Rome - bio-augment yourself and run from the fuzz! It's the biggest game I've ever designed. Go have a look! www.kickstarter.com/projects/idv...

Looking forward to the next BGI con! Thanks @boardgamesireland.com

Just home from the first @boardgamesireland.com BGICON convention since Covid. Great turn out and a lot of fun. #Boardgames

Yo, this is my game! (and @chrisbacke.bsky.social) www.youtube.com/watch?v=6swB...

Kicking off a month of computer movies with the very strange Computer Beach Party.

Day 2 of filming on EVIL SPOT!

Giant mechanical Brigid being assembled outside the pub…

ok wow. in 2020, as a former tech journalist, i had a large twitter account, so i asked elon musk to comment on why he had been photographed with ghislaine maxwell and whether the rumors jeffrey epstein had toured space x were true

Played two boardgames today at @boardgamesireland.com “There and Back Again” a cool roll and write. And “Anomaly” a great hidden movement game. #Boardgames

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Dublin City Council CEO Richard Shakespeare says "I have now taken the decision to suspend all posting by the City Council on the X.com platform. This applies to all City Council X accounts and will be actioned with immediate effect."

Got Bloodborne running on my PC last night at 1440p and 60fps. Looks amazing. One of the best games ever made and absolutely crazy that Sony are keeping this game locked up on the PS4.

Wonderburger at Northside Shipping Centre and Relish in Dun Laoghaire who did amazing sandwiches, have never tasted bread like it elsewhere.

Pub I was in today someone deliberately clogged the sink in the disabled toilets and turned the tap on full so it started overflowing. I spotted the water flooding out under the door & went in and unclogged it. But floor was super soaked, slippy & had spread into the men’s toilets. Very dangerous.

Good to see that tasteless famine board game going down like a lead balloon here.

Colored by THE colorist, Mike Spicer.

Finally saw Predator Badlands last night… kind of felt like a rip off of the superior Turbo Kid.

2025 was another year that I kept up my little Sunday night cult movie club that I’ve done online with friends since Covid lockdowns. New to me highlights last year would be ‘Dead Bang’, ‘Night of the Juggler’ and ‘Bad Black’. I maintain the full list of movies here: boxd.it/cQDlK

Got the Sega Saturn core running on my FPGA system so now I can play that Tim Curry Frankenstein game.

My LG tv has lately been pestering me to update so it can add in AI garbage. Absolutely no way to disable the update prompts. So I set up parental controls on my router and blocked the TV from accessing the URL it gets updates from. Seems to have worked, no more annoying prompts popping up.

A preview of one of my upcoming games (codesigned with @chrisbacke.bsky.social and published by idVenture). In Tiberpunk, be a hacker, or a bounty hunter, or a revolutionary; stay hidden from the law, or burn bright! All in about an hour!

Have managed to watch 16 Xmas movies so far this month. Highlights were ‘Blast of Silence’ and ‘Dead-Bang’ Definitely recommend tracking those down if you haven’t seen them. letterboxd.com/monkeyfudge/...

Played Mansions of Madness today. Took 5 hours and we lost just one action away from victory. #boardgames

Got these cool headphones to go with my portable audio player and I was sure I’d seen the same make used as a prop in an 80s sci-fi movie like Terminator or Aliens but upon searching all I can find is an appearance in Solarbabies (1986)

At 8:00 PM (EST) on SecretCinematheque.com on Thursday, December 18th, please join us to celebrate a HAPPY REXMAS!

Have taken to listening to music the old fashioned way on a portable FLAC player just like our grandparents did…

New cool movie to look forward to…

Watching “A Merry Little Ex-Mas” and while it’s pretty terrible I do like that the daughter is dating a guy who is super into Harry Potter and everyone else in the movie absolutely derides him for it.

I’m just thinking of the children’s gravestones and the pediatric hospital wards that were blocked from using art of Disney-owned characters because they claimed it was important to be highly protective of the usage of their IP.

What an amazing scene. Effects by the legendary Carlo Rambaldi.

Played Lords of Vegas this evening. I often describe this board game as “What if Monopoly was a good game?” #Boardgames

That does it! I’m taking the Madame Web poster down off my wall.

Working on outputting video from a MiSTer FPGA board to my Sony BVM. Still having sync issues but I’m getting close…

Series 5 of the New Drama Hour on @nearfm.ie finished yesterday. Series 6 is currently in early pre-production. You can find the whole series at drama.nearfm.ie and also anywhere you get your podcasts. #AudioDrama

“Was the Grink there?” #LateLateToyShow

She’s way too young to know what’s going on, but it’s still pretty amazing that I have a tiny daughter now to watch the Toy Show with.

Back in studio at @nearfm.ie today recording new audio drama. #AudioDrama

They should take it as an opportunity to run a 32 county song contest instead next year.

I'm looking for any games, mobile or even web dev work. I can code in multiple programming languages (C/Java/Python/Lua & more). I am familiar with Godot & Unreal I can do mobile & retro dev. Anything, contracting, freelance, if you know any leads or if anyone is looking to hire. Shares appreciated.
