Someone liked this post and brought me back, and I have an actual answer now. I just have severe ADHD. Was told I was dsylexic and autistic growing up.

I had this conversation with a billionaire recently, on the balance of providing value vs extracting it. I don’t think it landed

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.

Makes sense. I love emptying out my swim bladder and just chilling out on the bottom of pools for a bit

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.

4k rendering is just time/cost prohibitive, and in my opinion a waste of time and cost unless people watch on TV. I haven’t even mentioned the storage costs. I’m not spending an extra few thousand dollars a month so someone can watch 4k on their phone 😂

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

Impressionism came about because camera's couldn't capture human emotion. Ai can't either

Brian Mac Mághnais @brianmcmanus.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

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.

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

Pretty much the same. A little bit more of a gaeilge blas (taste) to the maGNus. And mac is more MACH than Mc. Just more irish throat sounds. They just made it pronounceable in english

The big positive of going by my Irish name is that I no longer have anus in my name

The catholic church still hasn't paid the survivors of their abuse. They made the tax payers of Ireland pay for it. Reparations before forgiveness

I am the ultrawealthy. I pay the taxes the government tells me to pay. Like everyone else. I also donate money to charities, that I don't have to donate to. Shut up complaining about people helping, and start helping yourself

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 really hope it does. I have a feeling this is only going to snowball more and more and I’m going to be in over my head with work very soon, but it’s been incredibly encouraging seeing all the Irish people volunteering their time and expertise. We all want this.

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

@blindboyboatclub.bsky.social this idea is still in the very early stages, but I know you are passionate about accessible science education too. Would love to have you as a board member when things are up and running.

Yeah my main thought for Athlone is that it will be the most neutral city to get to from anywhere in Ireland. Would help with school tours that aren’t allowed to travel more than an hour from the school

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
