Holding another journalist feet to the fire for running a PR puff piece for a billionaire dollar company is totally normal and healthy, and people kicking off acting like this very reasonable critique is a crash-out or beef is why the games media is so bad at actually improving the industry.

Latest review is live now on RTE. Ahead of its worldwide release, my spoiler-free thoughts on the nightmarish #RE9 #ResidentEvilRequieum. Special apolgies go to my neighbours, all of whom have had to put up up with screams all week 😂 www.rte.ie/culture/2026...

Brenda is a game industry legend, personal hero, mentor and an all-round badass. Of course I had to back this documentary! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the... @gameonthemovie.bsky.social @brendaromero.bsky.social

what a shame. people begged them not to build over over the largest Viking settlement ever found and now only a couple decades later they're not even using the building anymore.

If you like ambient jungle/atmospheric dnb, one of the artists who provided a track for axyz has a new EP out that is immediately worthy of your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYYE...

how is this not a complete and total failure of our goverment who *checks notes* also just put through a bill that landlords reckon will see rent prices rise by 25%

I'm absolutely floored by how cool this video turned out! I had the honour of working with Wild Blue Studios on a couple of the illustrations in this cinematic trailer. And that song is a proper banger. Very excited for this project. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxZX...

i did it! i completed my very first #gamejam 🥰 Presenting: From the Ground Up, a narrative-driven, story-rich game. Around 20-30 mins gameplay. The theme: grow! unaminh.itch.io/from-the-gro... #gamedev #indiegames

Nothing like just farting around on a Firday #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I consult a lot with indies and here's the key pieces of advice I nearly always have - high level plan, then double your estimates and cry - Prioritise work so your MVP is made first, then add other features once you have a shippable - better yet, just reduce scope - for the love of god, playtest

A quick combat moment from the Sub-Species demo during Steam Next Fest.

Israel does not give AF, censorship or not, RTÉ. People have been yelling FREE PALESTINE for years, and Palestinians are still living in a horrific world. Your censorship protects no one except those complicit in genocide.

This is going to be a really frustrating game to talk around for the next few days because basically every aspect of the game that didn't work for me falls under the *embargoed* details, so you are going to see a lot of points vaguely made with no visuals to support them across reviews.

call me a woke liberal irish fake fan of sport, but i humbly think mike tindall and anyone still inviting him and his dirtbag maga hat onto a rugby podcast in 2026 can eat a bag of shit

I re-watched this episode of Star Trek recently. It is 38 years old. It's literally a warning against "vibe coding" and "prompt engineering" and not having boundaries on your AI. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element... #startrek #tng #aislop #vibecoding #aibullshitmachines #ai #airisk

Added main menu logic to choose starting location and added all of logic in to handle starting the new campaign when loaded. Now to connect these 2 parts and the campaign craziness begins :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #anime #tbs

Really excited to see this. More of this, please! It's officially opening today. We need more places that cater to older folks who still want to live independently. housingireland.ie/a-pioneering...

We really need to change how we talk about industries where the big players have priced themselves out of their own profits. The ecosystems aren't dying, the giants are starving, there's a different.

thanks for all the love on the CICADAMATA'' demo, here's a cheeky preview at a new track i'm cooking up

As a Leftist, this is technology I am pretty excited about! I think more billionaires should keep trying!

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" Yeah....

This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....

Sony has pulled a generational bag fumble, and in my opinion, it's all downstream from Jim Ryan's leadership going all-in on the Live Service model and having nearly every studio working on one (Bluepoint was working on a God of War live service) and what we're seeing is the long tailed fallout.

The amount of important things about games, industry, and life that I've learned from Brenda, following her career and work and advocacy and activism and mentorship and involvements from afar - but also the times we've crossed paths for work, is staggering. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...
