I've been chipping away at a little VR project with a friend. We've called Time Ranger. It's a loveletter to the golden age of lightgun gaming.

Just rolled credits on Blue Prince. Still a *lot* more to do but it has been a long time since a game has lived rent free in my head when I’m not playing it as this has. I think the last one was Outer Wilds.

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street.
Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist.
