Hello, newcomers to BlueSky. A bit about me:

🇦🇺 Melbournian in SoCal for 7~ years
💙 Blizzard for 7~ years, where I help people and games with what they want to say
❤️ Prev: Riot Games Berlin
🏋🏼‍♀️ Lifting for 6 years (lost 70lb!)
👾 StarCraft fanatic, fighting game scrub
🎤 vox in unofficial Blizzard band
I was painting by my balcony door today* and I heard a crash - I looked up and a friggin’ squirrel was right in front of my face on the other side of the glass, staring at me. A HARBINGER OF DOOM?!

* I don’t do this often. I only started painting again recently, to Make Things.

I got my Californian license which meant today, for the first time ever in 8.5 years, I DROVE into Blizzard. I told anyone who would listen and was absolutely insufferable, asking if they wanted to see a photo of my car in the car park. All-caps online, yelping in person.

There’s construction going on at Blizzard atm. I was outside talking to a colleague when a dude in a truck with a tractor on the back drove past. He stopped and said “HEY, DO YOU GUYS MAKE VIDEO GAMES?”

“YEAH!” I yelled back.

“THAT’S SO COOL!” he said, then drove away.

He’s right.

It IS cool.

The comedy is one thing, but the storytelling chops on this man? The ability to make you feel and think? Otherworldly. He’s a master weaver. I am in awe - it’s like watching someone dance or paint a masterpiece, only it’s all words, all verbal. What an honor to witness, what a gift he is.

I am unwell. It’s not the Rona, but I’m miserable.

Things I’ve done to pass time:

* Tried to vibe code an app that keeps track of pro wrestling storylines - ended up hurting my laptop and having to do a system reset, lmao.
* Played Vampire Survivors for the first time. The internet was right.

I got my California learners permit this week (I can drive in Australia, just not here…YET), and this may or may not come as a shock to you, but insurance companies are not super into insuring a car owned by a 41-year-old learner driver 😂

A Hilltop Hoods song came on the radio and I said to a guy “oh I saw these guys live 20 years ago” and he goes “what were you, 5 years old?” and I rolled my eyes so hard that my head was akin to a roulette wheel.

The force of the eye roll is, I think, an Oil of Olay sign of aging unto itself.

Periodic meet-ups for dinner and fancy cocktails with @christiegolden.bsky.social has a solid place in my hierarchy of needs.

Lots of work in the lead-up to the Midnight reveal today, including a now-rare, bylined-by-me story! It’s somewhat unhinged, bookended by the screaming (?!) capybaras you find in Zul’aman. Shoutout to the Xbox Wire team who never flinch in the face of my insanity. news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/0...

OOO till Tuesday. Looking forward to sinking deeply back into humanity; a personification of an exhale who doesn’t need to do anything except hang out with people I love, stay hydrated, and be embarrassingly bad at Street Fighter 6.

Rode my bike in the afternoon sun to the brewery to grab beers (and hop juice*) to take back home.

I joked with the folks working (mates) about them jumping on my bike with me to escape the busy.

Irvine roads are dead, singing along to Radiohead blaring from my phone.

* a new, amazing discovery

Happy Friday. I’ve sent So Much Writing for review at work; a nice place to be at this time of week. A breath before duck-diving once more.

I hope you’re well ☺️

I’ve been reading a lot, and I am levelling a Tauren warrior in WoW named Caramellatte who looks like she’s going to Coachella.

Listen, I’m not a scientist. But I’m pretty sure I’m being attacked in this game of “rage cage” because I do not quite get the rules.

I’m laying on my couch reading, and I just had the thought that I don’t think I will have time to read all the books I want to read in my lifetime. I never really thought about that. That’s so sad.

I am at the point where I am seriously considering making a burner account so I can talk about the WWE. And maybe also a pen name purely for WWE think pieces. Oooo, maybe I’ll start a NEWSLETTER.

You’ll never know.
You’ll have NO IDEA.

I’m working for this moment alongside my dear WoW teammates and SO, SO MANY talented developers - their love for what they’re building is so infectious and beautiful and a balm on my soul.

During my meetings with them, my face does this on loop: 😮🥹🥰😱🤯

CAN’T WAIT, WOOP WOOP!
MIDNIGHT REVEALED.

Join us at Gamescom 2025 for a first look at the next chapter of the Worldsoul Saga.

Such a nice warm night, I asked if we could practice outside.

[in the style of “I love lamp” from Anchorman] I love band. 💙

Decided to finally start playing Expedition 33 this morning and now I’m crying in the club before noon on a Saturday.

I was laying in front of my balcony door beginning my weekend ritual of regenerating my tired brain flesh when a hummingbird arrived and hovered in the door frame, looking at me like 👀 for about 30 seconds before flying away again.

It was the coolest thing ever.
I smiled super big, like this -> 😁

Usually my nail lady is like “why are your arms so weak compared to your legs,” or “you look hungover” when I’m just tired from work, but tonight she peered at me suspiciously like “you look young and skinny,” like an ACCUSATION - I told her it’s just the new bangs, and she was thusly satisfied.

I went to Cruel Word Fest yesterday. I now have a core memory of seeing Garbage perform live - finally, after all these years. Shirley Manson is incredible STILL. It was very cold and rainy and I was desperately underprepared - I think it’s been 20+ years since I went to a music festival 😂 🖤

I have entered an era where I require bangs, known in my motherland as a fringe.

If you’ve ever had this urge, you understand; sometimes the universe takes you there for a season of your life and you must comply.

You don’t make the rules.
You just live here.
On the fringes, as it were.
