Time Ranger Test Release Trailer
YouTube video by William Rountree Time Ranger Test Release Trailer

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.

Support local, not the billionaires.

A missing young woman, a mysterious hotel, occult practices. It's too much of a coincidence for these things not to be linked in some way. But how? What is truly happening at Blake Manor?

A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes
