  • Desert Coffin

    Desert Coffin

    Taking the acquired coffin back to the mechanic across the desert.

    The colour of the coffin and the sand seemed to mesh really well so I grabbed some shots.

    This is my favourite.

    The sky is on fire

    Only hopped on for 10 minutes while I had free TV. And whilst I was collecting chiral crystals on the shore north of the motherhood, and saw this in the sky.

    Just absolutely stunning.

    This game just keeps on giving from every angle.

    Silent Hill vibes

    The weapons factory, after accomplishing the task at hand, had some silent hill vibes in this photo.

  • Taking in the early hours drive

    I was driving back towards the data scientist with a tonne of ceramics to continue the road up there, when I just noticed the sky’s colours.

    Beautiful purples and dark blues.

    So I jump out of the truck and tried to get some nice shots before calling it a night.

    This monorail sure comes in handy for lugging those materials around.

    Just goes to show — put in the effort; reap the rewards.

    Just building them roads is very meditative. I’ll take as much of that as I can get. 🛣️

    Collecting the resources from far and wide for the ever-growing road ahead of me.

  • Ziplines are back in action

    Ziplines are back in action

    The ziplines are finally back in action. And this time better than ever with the new ability to bend around or over obsticles.

    My first self-appointed task was to connect Heartman’s Lab with The Dowser, and The Dowser with the F2 South Distribution centre.

    So satisfying when the connections start coming together.

  • Elle Fanning is Tomorrow

    Elle Fanning is Tomorrow

    This game is panning out to be incredible with some classic Kojima moments.

    Tomorrow’s real introduction was very remeniscent of some scenes of Quiet’s in Metal Gear Solid V’s.

  • On the road again

    On the road again

    Building roads again, this time down under, feels like coming home. Getting time to play this game is few and far between at the moment. But when I do, I go all in.

  • Pockets of time

    When you’re young, free and single you don’t realise how much free time you have.

    “Don’t have time for that” shouldn’t have even been in my vocabulary.


    When you meet someone and start getting serious, you will probably start seeing them most evenings and / or weekends.

    Despite enjoying the time spent with your new partner, you will remember just how much extra time you had for those pursuits.


    Then you move in together and perhaps get married.

    You may then start to reminisce about those evenings every other day when your time was all your own to do with as you wished.

    Staying up till 3 am to play video games? No problem!


    And then you may have a child together.

    Now yours and your partner’s every waking moment is there to make sure that your child is happy, healthy and loved.

    They have no past memories.

    They are a clean slate.

    Their time for pursuits and discovery is in front of them.

    When you are woken at random times in the middle of the night, which then makes you too tired in the day, you will remember how much time your partner and you had before your bundle of joy arrived.


    And then the second one arrives.

    You will start to reminisce over how much time you actually had during nap times. And at night when your first one started sleeping through the night finally.

    Now it’s just small pockets of time.

    Concentrated moments for you to really focus in on the things that you want to pursue for yourself.


    I’m lucky.

    I found the person I’m happy and grateful to be spending the rest of my life with.

    And we’ve been blessed to have brought two perfect children into the world.

    I love my life now.

    This is a post for my children to read when they are old enough.

    I want them to consider the path they choose to walk — with whoever they hope to walk it with.

    I want them to know that if they find the right person as I did, then the sacrifices are merely exchanges; upgrades to an even better, more fulfilling life.

    All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us
