All manner of nerdery and geekery. Gaming. TTRPGS. Dogs. Environment. History. Dubliner. Queer.
Trying to use more Irish - please feel free to correct me if I make mistakes!
Apparently I talk a lot about folk music.

A pub in Cavan (The Orchard Bar) hosted a Far Right 'gathering' where Israeli flags were displayed on the walls and windows. Delighted to see local lads were able to get rid of them. I've posted this on fb and tagged them, they keep removing the tag but I'm persistent 😆. #SpeirGorm #FarRight

I already own like all of Chris’ stuff, but if you like good adventures then you should help yourself out and buy some of these. Lots of gnarly OSR stuff, with plenty of heart (one is set in a dungeon that is literally a heart!)
Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month.
All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much.

A thing I love about the Irish folk resurgence is that you can have an Italian, a Frenchie and a Dub singin songs from a 19th century progressive songwriter that feel more relevant to the present moment than most modern music.

On the one hand, I am fairly sure Pokémon GO is a psyop for planning invasions. On the other, I just managed to evolve my Magikarp into a Gyarados. So on the whole, it’s pretty much a wash.

Madra Salach just dropped an EP. Featuring this lil song, The Man Who Seeks Pleasure, which is extremely good and was written in a urinal. The first time I heard it, I was ready to fight and or die for Paul Banks by the end, and that feeling has not dimmed.

Dublin City's deputy lord mayor has said that the operating hours of 24/7 bus lanes should be reduced because they are not needed on weekends, as he doesn't see congestion then, but in the same breath, he also said that the bus lanes are adding to congestion on weekends. The deputy lord mayor, Cllr John Stephens (Fianna Fáil), said: "A lot of residents of the Navan Road have asked me 'Do we need a bus line in operation for seven days a week, 24/7?'"
