Update (July 7, 2025)
We want to address recent reports regarding the status of Romero Games. These reports have contained inaccuracies, and we feel it's important to set the record straight.
• The funding for our project was pulled, and our game was canceled.
• Due to confidentiality agreements, we cannot disclose the publisher's identity, though some may infer it from public information.
• As a result, we now have to reassess the entire staffing of our studio.
• Romero Games is not closed, and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that it does not come to that. Any suggestion otherwise is factually incorrect. Indeed, we were in the studio today to discuss next steps with the team.
• We've been contacted by several publishers interested in helping us bring the game across the finish line, and we're currently evaluating those opportunities.
We appreciate the outpouring of support and will share further updates as we are able.

There comes a moment for internet famous people when they have to explain their specific form of internet fame to a therapist. “I pissed off india last week” was my moment.

Being in a dedicated loving relationship has unlocked a new level of ambition and work ethic for me. It’s crazy. I knew in my head just how much time and energy I was wasting on the hell of modern dating. But I didnt realize how much time, energy and mental stability being loved would give me.

With the rise of TV viewing on YouTube we are hoping to finally start uploading in 4k. 4k for rendered work is an absolute ball ache though. It will ad 1-2 weeks of lead time to every single video. The solution is money of course. Time to build an animal of a dedicated rendering PC

There is a trend of artists abandoning "high budget" art in favor of rawer, more authentic, barebones art. And I think this is our impressionism moment. People stopped drawing hyperrealism when cameras were invented. Ai WILL have an effect on art, and I think this trend is the beginning of that.

"Be quick, be quiet, be on time" A lot of tech founders should listen to Kelly Johnson's advice.

Scored my first point in a hurling game today. Caught the ball out of the air, turned around and hit it over straight between the posts. Then I shouted “I FUCKING SCORED!!!!” and lost every ounce of respect I had from everyone around me 😂 I believe the kids call this an L aura moment

Just got my first house with my girlfriend. Kinda overwhelmed. Been moving between my parents houses my whole life, emigrating, immigrating, emigrating, losing everything over and over and over. Gah. Feels weird to have stability.

I go onto twitter for one day to promote my passion project and I let myself get triggered by shitty fucking uninformed takes. The site is fascinating

Remember that time I showed that the Tesla semi-truck would never be successful because of physics? Turns out I was wrong. It was unsuccessful because of Musk....and physics

I wonder when the first engineering failure caused by an engineer trusting ai too much will happen. I feel like it’s inevitable

I think I’m going to make it my life mission to spearhead the creation of Ireland’s first national science museum. Potentially in Athlone, Galway, or Limerick. Have been thinking about this on and off ever since I started the channel. Yeah, I’m going to do that. Gimme 5 years

Over 30 million euro preparing the application for this. Contractors are giving up trying in Ireland because our planning system is so broken. A local woman objected to them because they would be "towering over" their home. Apparently she's sponge bob fucking square pants.

One thing I have noticed through playing around with generative ai (just keeping an eye on a existential threat to my career), I notice it is completely incapable of generating anything novel, which are the exact things I need to pay animators to do. If it existed already I would just license it.

I did a pottery class this week. It was my first time being a structured learning environment since college. The teacher came over at one stage and completely remoulded my work because I wasn’t doing what he told me to do. I nearly threw a fit. In high school I would have thrown a fit

One thing I'll say to Democratic Party insiders... Please stop listening to people who make all of their money selling TV ads. Just...every Monday for the next year, spend time imagining what you'd do if you couldn't spend money on TV and had to do other things with that money.
