🍩 of the day: banana fosters fritter.. crispy, chewy, and soft with slices of caramelized bananas throughout.. maybe the best fritter I’ve ever had 😋 and it wasn’t even fresh (two days old and reheated in the microwave). 😅

It got to over 80 degrees today, but I still decided to make pasta in cream of mushroom soup for dinner because comfort food is still comfort food 😅

More tide pool creatures 🦀 I feel like this crab hiding in its crevice and anxiously twiddling its claws about life while watching the ocean waves. 🥺

I feel so stressed and anxious preparing for interviews and planning to meet people at GameSoundCon, but I still took a few hours to explore some tide pools and got to see these beauties in nature.. 💜⭐️🧡 Let me know if you want to meet at GSC. ☺️

🍩🍩 of the day: passionfruit pavlova and peach cobbler malasada.. I might be a little extra driving an hour for donuts (and another hour to eat them for dessert at a fancy restaurant after dinner with a friend). 🙃

A finch friend came by to hang out on my balcony today and left a gift 💩 on the railing before flying away 🥹

Wow!! I’ve been slacking on my donut game, and this might finally convince me to make a trip back to Seattle soon! I’m adding it to my list! Here’s a blackberry fritter from JD Flannel Donuts in San Juan Capistrano 😋🍩💟

This quirky cute game is a breath of fresh air and helps add more humor during these trying times in the industry. I love how the pause menu is blended into the game world and not just a pop up screen. And you can’t go wrong with a cute dog companion that helps with everything and you can pet! ☺️🐶

To make up for the bad human interaction today, I got a nice late lunch - sweet and salty Vietnamese coffee and a pistachio chicken salad sandwich. ☕️🥪

I think we need more people like Princess Mononoke and Prince Ashitaka in this polluted capitalistic world. 🗡️🐺🏹

I wish I remembered to get more selfies with more friends during GDC, and I wish there was more time to meet so many amazing game devs! Thanks to everyone who made it a wonderful week of learning, inspiration, and connections! Cheers to the lovely #GameAudioGDC community! 🙌

Hello, #GameAudioGDC! Thank you so much to those of you who attended my first ever talk! 🫶 For those looking for resources on audio programming, you can purchase a whole book about it at the GDC store! It’s called Game Audio Programming 4, and I even wrote a chapter for it. 😄 See you around! 🦄
