Between the games industry, theatre in Australia collapsing and the ongoing push for Ai, I am well and truly utterly exhausted.

Trying to say autoethnography, interpretivism and methodological, all in one go and first thing in the morning for a research presentation… was an insane choice by past me 💀

Spontaneous trip to the Immigration museum last night to see “Eonarium Enlightenment: An Immersive Light Show” with the music of Vivaldi 🎻💚

I’ve been working on a little animation promo with a few of my tinkerhaus team members in UE5 for an early learning centre and it’s been an absolute joy to work on an animation project again 💚 Really proud of our little team and pulling this together in a very short amount of time.

Alysa Liu is every kid that stopped doing what they loved due to competitive expectations, abuse & burn out. To win gold after coming out from retirement & choosing to do it all on her terms, with zero expectations other than the need to perform and make people happy, is what freedom looks like 🩷✨

10pts to this guy, for not peeing on the funky shoes of Virginia Gay during our evening stroll just now. As you can see… he is very pleased with himself 😆

Went to attend a small event in city tonight and naturally stumbled my way into another, which just happened to be a sing-a-long of Wicked at Fed Square. ✨ I may or may not have been wearing a wicked themed shirt by accident in the process 😅

Tonight, we farewelled my dear friend Yee. For 5yrs, Yee has been by my side, through study, Covid, musicals, animation collaborations + pregnancy and I’m incredibly sad to see her move back home. She’s also been such an important part of our game dev community working on 3 local Melbourne games 🥺🩷

Took the ‘Don’t kill yourself for a job’ a little too seriously last week, when my apartment building was on fire and I was working from home, completely oblivious 🙈 Only realised after a text to residents explaining the smell, once all cleared by firefighters.

I’m terrible at socials 🙈… mostly because I’m either trying to convince a toddler that sleep is, in fact, amazing, or I’m busy paving the way for my little dead guy to have the adventure of a lifetime. 🪦

Tried to make a paper airplane… accidentally turned a pile of bones into a cat. Then into a block spinning into another dimension. The airplane? Still missing in action. Game dev is going exactly as planned 😎✌🏻 Want to see how this glorious mess turns out? 👉🏻 Wishlist Now! tinyurl.com/fs9yu637

I woke up to a toddler riverdancing his way through the house this morning. Which, of course, led to an impromptu hallway jig down the apartment block and straight into daycare like two caffeinated leprechauns on tour. I need coffee. Possibly a nap. Maybe a new identity.

Just another night nerding out at home with friends and musicals 😍 Big kudos to Erin, who ubered it from the matinee of Beetlejuice, to sing one song (a banger at that) and sprint back to perform for the 6:30pm show 😂👏🏻❤️ Double day shows are exhausting enough. Always amazing @djdanmurphy.com 🎭
