We're very happy to have you, Ambrose 🫶🏼
Ah! I was active for a good bit but fell off recently. I haven't had many updates to share about my projects for 2 reasons:

1. I joined @hawthornhousegames.bsky.social as their Programming Lead! Tír na nÓg is a wonderful project; I'm excited to share more soon.

2. My domain registrar was a scam 😬

Irish word of the day! Two words for nature - nádúr and dúlra. Nádúr is more formal and typically refers to the nature of something, i.e the laws of nature. Dúlra refers to the natural world like the earth, wildlife etc. 🌿

Lore Drop #1 ✍️ The Tuatha Dé Danann was a magical race with supernatural powers who migrated to Ireland. They're primarily made up of gods and their name means "People of the Goddess Danu". They came to Ireland with four treasures - spear, sword, harp and cauldron.
