Really enjoyed the solo option you did last week. BTW

The Rococo of Unhappy King Charles

The exuberant beauty of the design for Unhappy King Charles is an aesthetic triumph
UKC succeeds brilliantly as a marriage of game design and artistry that is rare in the world of boardgaming. Frankly, I am at a loss to think of any peers

Awh shucks. 🤓

Damn but I want this.

Many 20th Century board game designers remain uncredited. This year I've tracked down designer info for 18 games. It's required artifact acquisition, access to newspaper archives, books, and even a trip from Detroit to Connecticut. My patreon producers made this possible.

I was discussing that very chapter with a friend this afternoon apropos of nothing.

Gotta say. Kinda miffed. Living in The UK right now and there are layers to that choice.

The @dias.ie contingent had a great time this past weekend at the Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies, organised by the Societas Celtologica Europaea in Bonn, Germany.🇩🇪 If you’re curious about our work, you can hear more on our podcast “Ní hansae” www.dias.ie/series/ni-ha... 🎧 #DIASdiscovers

Inis Tuaisceart, one of the Blasket Islands off the Kerry coast. It is known as An Fear Marbh as it looks like a man lying on his back.

For no particular reason, here's a lovely island off the coast of Kerry.

An Fear Marbh - the Dead Man.

The draft of the game board for Shakespeare's First Folio.

Suppose I’ll find out on Saturday night.

Was going to watch last night with my wife as we’r big fans. You got me worried now.

If you don’t know what the short version of someone’s name is don’t guess.

What's this? Oh, nothing, just some artwork for our Shakespeare's First Folio game.

Well you’ve done and spoiled it all for all of us now.

Let me know who I missed!

Tom, you know too many Irish people to not realize the implicit challenge to immortalize you in that statement so….

We are not trivialising LLMs.

Copyright theft is not trivial.

Environmental damage is not trivial.

Unreliability is not trivial.

Risk to human cognition is not trivial.

Ignoring consent when shoving it into every fucking thing while making us pay our hard-earned money for it is not trivial.

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Irish artists/ supporters of the arts, please check out and fill in this short survey. The Gript/ far right dudes are already sharing it on X and I'd be worried it'll get brigaded.

If we want it to be retained and expanded we gotta drown them out.

Come and join us in Oxford! We're advertising for a two-year full-time departmental lecturer in Medieval Irish Language and Literature. Full details here: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Today’s learning session: I, Napoleon.

If you're an artist based in Ireland, this survey relates directly to you. It'll take three or four minutes, if that (it's actually too short).

Please check it out.

Kathy Barry one of Corks famous women of the Coal Quay this is her standing at the door of her shop on Daltons avenue behind the shop was her little pub which she kept open all through the night it was famous for it's menu of pigs feet and a home made brew known by some as jungle juice.

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

Another Pride and Prejudice remake on the way and still no Muppets version. When will the world get the Miss Piggy as Mrs. Bennet we deserve

I wanted to share a few thoughts recent discussions around CGE’s decision to partner with JKR for their upcoming @codenamesgame.bsky.social game have prompted. Thankful to those who spoke early to this issue (Marceline, Tiffany, @nopunincluded.com et al) for helping this get the needed attention.

I'll be launching Dr Rebecca Shercliffe's Old Irish: A Beginner's Guide @ria.ie tomorrow eve at 6.30pm. If you are around, do pop into 19 Dawson St. to help celebrate the publication of Dr Shercliffe's new book!
