@mariaobrien.bsky.social and I hosted a workshop at #DIGRAMalta2025 on the Law & Policy of Games. After our #keynote we used the rest of the time to gather knowledge from our participants and think about pathways to fill gaps and increase impact.

Post it notes of many colors, with text on them in many different hands, some legible some not.

I'm super-chuffed and stoked and raring to go! BSKY (Pronounced "Bwhiskey", as the drink, I assume) is my new home. That other place got too weird. I'm taking my nonsense, and my adventures in Video Game Consultancy (often the same) here to this new fresh site. Yay!

I say this to myself every time I pass the GPO in Dublin. Which is at least once a week.

Yesterday was full of interesting Dublin events, with Nexus, the IJAMCP journal launch event, dinner and then a great book launch at Irish Film Institute.

What a privilege I had today to introduce TAIPEI STORY at QFT Belfast. There was (or is, it’s still on) a great audience for this masterpiece of Taiwanese cinema.

So you’re new to Bluesky A thread on the basics 🧵 (How to deal with replies all over your timeline, why you aren’t seeing nsfw content, and how threads work)

It’s more on the ethics of using it for research rather than the ethics of it per se. Nice point though!

As part of teaching planning I am developing an exercise around student use of Chat-GPT. I have no idea how this is going to go in practice.

I am updating my syllabi for the coming year and having some fun. Research methods, audiences, business of culture with a focus on film festivals. I hope I never lose the optimism and freshness of a new academic year

Was it the film, the cocktails or the Mr Tickle mug?

I am new here to help me escape the Twitter sinking ship. Dublin, Ireland, lecturer in Queens University Belfast. Film, games and media industries and law broadly. I co-run a great East Asian film festival, love bikes and cocktails.
