A close up of Úna-Minh wearing a green and white t-shirt and black headphones

Hey, I'm Úna-Minh (that's my first name)! Producer, games writer, generalist. I also make solo games & PM a small team that localises indie games into Irish.

Open to work, short-term, long-term, term-term, and open to rapping the first 150 pokémon during my interview.

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike

We're just not allowed nice things, Jim. That's not the way the DM has set it up.

I would highly advise everyone to subscribe to the @oracle.posters.rip 'Machine of Death'-inspired labeller. Comedy gold.

@berkbig.bsky.social haha. Random 'death prediction' labeller says you'll drown at sea (very SoT)... in a mini-bar (very sot.)

All these giant Primaris everywhere...

They sent me four separate websites to read ahead of titration. I-

Ah, missed that, sorry. JC just said to hop on!

me looking down at you, unimpressed, holding an unsettlingly realistic fake sausage. also I'm wearing a red sun visor for some reason

#whatagamedevlookslike this is what I look like when I'm at work

That last message deserves its own thread. Also, looks like you're starting a new ARG.

I've been reading a book called Enigmas of History, which is about batshit mystery theories, except the copy I found was in the library and had a chapter on CIA mind control but when I bought a copy off the internet, that chapter was missing. Along with chapters on Atlantis and Sirius, the Dog Star

Gotta ave backup gnashas geeza

:partridge shrug:

I just had to have it cut! It's more of a Nick Cave length ATM.

Sometimes I'm a vampire.

Sometimes a tiger! RAAARRRRRR

Quarter of a century in games and I STILL HAVE ALL MY OWN TEETH, DEAR.

Freelance writer/designer on Nightingale, Tides of Tomorrow, Warhammer games, weird indie 4xes, and anything philosophical. (funambulism.com/portfolio/) Lover of line art.

I just got diagnosed! Inattentive ADHD! Took me six months to fill out the forms!

My old house had the same thing though! It was sooo well-insulated that, when the sun shone, it was like a sauna up there.

(That is a cool minor curse though. Rather than getting chills from going into the dark room, you get slightly thirsty. Or a desire to redecorate. Or a blister.)

Cover of (I must remain) The Glad Cowboy, by me. It's a freeware bit of cowboy art with a smiling emoji over it.

I just released another short ttrpg zine.

(I must remain) THE GLAD COWBOY is storygame where one player plays a Glad Cowboy and the other player plays The Repressed Horror At The Thing They Did. #ttrpg #indiettrpg

There's an phonetic-speaking cat in a series I'm reading currently which I was having real trouble understanding until I started randomly decided to bark it out loud in a Glaswegian accent, channelling Banks' Feersum Enjinn. 💡

(The series is Gene Wolfe's overlong The Book of the Long Sun.)

I guess it's post-stormy. Hum.

And maybe Pullman’s The Book of Dust, with the giant flood?

Shirley, the opening of Bleak House might feature. “London. Michaelmas term lately over, and the Lord Chancellor sitting in Lincoln's Inn Hall. Implacable November weather. As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth…”

at one point when egs was throwing free-game money around indiscriminately and i was hoping to ship something imminently, i was vaguely hoping to secure some of that (would have been lifechanging money). in hindsight i think there would have been no surer way to make sure nobody ever played it

A particularly nasty smiley was making its way through the cold. Sid needed someone on the inside.

Dax was a musket. One of the best. Not great in the corp world, but if you wanted someone to talk their way past a room of armed guards with a clipboard and a smile, it was Dax you called.

It's having that problem generally with international shipping for some reason, even though Lulu is meant to be local print-on-demand. :-/

100+ essays on writing & narrative design, with articles from the writers of Baldur's Gate 3, Control, Call of Duty, Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, Sam and Max...

The index of authors is insane: here's the index of authors in full. Each person was asked to write a short piece about one specific thing they care about. The result is a book about EVERYTHING.

(And it's affordable, < $20 paperback)

Maybe their degrees are more useful for the world of work? There were quite a lot of esports BAs not so long ago…

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

I’m not sure our graduates are any better after three very expensive years. For many of them, three years in the workforce would be more instructive AND economically productive. But we also need to rebuild the funding model for our universities.
