Hi folks, the website I originally wrote this for ended up getting to get way into crypto and advertising gambling and was nuked from the internet after getting sued.
I think it is some of my best writing and would appreciate if people could share it now it has a new home.

Metaphor ReFantazio is a once-in-a-generation RPG. Its stunning world and smart combat system act as the backbone for its deeply political story filled with excellent characters.

Would be truly something if one day my home became a real driving force for the industry I love.
REPORT: Over the last eight months I've been trying to get to the bottom of why (despite being the ideal candidate) Ireland is not a video game development hub. The answer?
A lack of government understanding surrounding the sector.

Ireland is primed to be a video game development hub, so why hasn't it broken big?
Ireland is home to a well-educated, English-speaking, diverse workforce and is already the tech hub of Europe. So why hasn't it truly penetrated the video game industry?

From early childhood, I was always told that when it comes to international law, there were four countries to watch: Ireland and South Africa for justice, and the US and Israel for injustice. Almost four decades in, that seems to hold pretty well - maybe add England & Germany to the "bad" list.

My brain is starting to look at the games I’m playing in my free time in a different light, and I’m enjoying it. How did they make this mechanic work? I think I understand why they may have made this design choice here. It’s been interesting having a different perspective on the media I’m consuming.

Chained Echoes sweep in 2025???
I am wondering: If the Game Awards now allow DLCs to win in every category could I be nominated next year as I was ignored the last time?

A gentle reminder that Johnathon Selstad has compiled one of the best libraries of mathematical tools for Unity. 📊
Inverse kinematics, Bézier functions, Kalman filters, soft bodies, and much more.
If you are a game developer, this is a game-changer!

I’ll definitely do this cause those drivers work their asses off, especially this time of year. But also imagine if instead of this gimmick the billionaire just fairly compensated his employees
IF YOU ORDERED FROM AMAZON RECENTLY, SEARCH "THANK MY DRIVER" IN THE SEARCH BAR!!! They get a lil gift :)

It’s a bit intimidating to take the leap into learning game development at 30. Definitely wish I would have followed this interest when I was younger, but I look forward to seeing what life experience I have gained will become important to this new endeavor

Signalis is such a phenomenal gaming experience. The opening moments of the game give me the same feelings I got from playing Resident Evil, Parasite Eve and Silent Hill for the first time.
If you haven’t had the chance to play it, do yourself a favour and pick it up when you can! #signalis
