Tired of waiting for the #SteamMachine so decided to build my own.
Learned so much from building it, and helped reignite my love for couch gaming. Also works incredibly well with my #SteamDeck

Late night of modelling game assets for @godotengine.org in @blender.org
Would people be interested in a #gamedev stream using open source technologies?

Started moving everything over to the @godotengine.org and it has been a lot of fun!
If anyone has any advice or resources for 2D desktop games I'd super appreciate it!

2025 was such an eventful year for me. There wasn't a week where I wasn't busy often times overwhelmed, but full of positive moments with wonderful people.
A week with the #FlashbackV2 and I've come to two conclusions..

2. The film loading dial is too strong. I'm sure it'll loosen up as time goes by, but it feels too good.

This one song on loop is my work music for over 5 years. It's original from the Tide focus app, and is less than 5 minutes long but I'll have it looping for hours to help me focus www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsdH…

Wonderful Saint Patricks Day this year. First time in nearly a decade I've had the chance to actually see the parade. Such a positive and friendly vibe around ☘️

Attended the first LGBTIA+ InterAgency meeting of the year earlier this week.
It was a wonderful reminder that even though we see so much unwarranted anger and frustration towards minority groups, that there are people working hard everyday for equality and fairness. #Corkcity #LGBT #LGBTIreland

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.

1,300 badly needed homes won’t be built after An Bord Pleanála's decision. I raised this at Council—we need to make Cork a living city.
