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.

The fireworks have stopped. Peace has broken out in North Dublin.

Nice! I liked some of what they did to spice up non-combat encounters. The journey deck system in particular was neat and could fit in pretty much any other game.

Watched a six year old video of Disco Glinner RΓ³isΓ­n Murphy being interviewed by a drag queen and it made me sad, but then also I got mad because she's such a poisonous snake. Willing to wear the mask of solidarity for the sake of her career, for the money she could make.

Last bit of Madra Salach posting and then I'll shurrup. The Man Who Seeks Pleasure is my favourite song right now. Absolute belter.

Great idea - distract the children with ancient technology that they don't understand but is nonetheless shiny.

I am out of sweets. What's the play? Hide in an upstairs bedroom with the lights turned off?

Steady stream of trick-or-treaters all night. Three packs of haribo down. One remains. Things are looking precarious!

Absolutely. The audience that were there for them were well into it, which I love to see.

Halloween Customs Β· Cluain Tuirc (B.) Β· The Schools' Collection This is a collection of folklore compiled by schoolchildren in Ireland in the 1930s.

Meeting the man himself:

"There does be spirits out on Halloween night. If you would walk around a rick of hay seven times you would meet the devil."

Every year I say to myself that Ive got to get out of Dublin for Halloween, get away from the incessant fireworks and bangers. Every year, I leave it too late to organise anything. The poor dogs' nerves are shot.

I try to not talk ill of entertainment or art I don't like, which has created the impression in some that I am excessively effusive with praise. To counter this, I'll say that I walked out of the headline gig last night because they powerfully just weren't for me and I could not match their energy.

This lad drips with rizz. He's so good. Madra Salach are so good.

When they drop The Man Who Seeks Pleasure, it's over for all of us fools.

"why are they like that?" me husband asked the merch seller.

"It's fashion, I think," was his response

"It's for sexy youngfellas, not aul-lads with beer bellies like us," I explained.

OMG, the Madra Salach merch shirt is a wee twink crop top, these lads have fully stolen my heart.

I think I'm getting the vibe, and I'm down for it even if I only survive one full playthrough.

I am way out of my depth here with regards to who is current on the scene, but I'll happily contribute to any letter writing campaign you propose.

I can't wait for the banger Lankum Ghost Town dance remix -- words I never thought I'd utter. Yet here we are, beyond that particular veil.

Great, that puts us at €55 total. I'll put in the bid.
