Support Kyle Fraser’s Recovery after Two Strokes

Some of you may know I’ve been dealing with a personal matter over the last week. Most of you do not. I consider myself a very private person but I need to ask for help at this time. Last week, my partner and best friend, Kyle Fraser, suffered from two strokes in a single day. There is a very long and expensive road ahead, and our friends have been gracious enough to help organize a GoFundMe for anyone who wishes to offer their support. On it, we have written up more detail on his condition for anyone curious. Even a repost or share helps. The link to that is in my bio, my story, highlights - pretty much anywhere. Thank you for your thoughts and support at this time. Apologies in advance if I take some time to reply, I’m taking it one day at a time.

For those who don’t know him, Kyle is probably the most compassionate person I’ve ever met. He is as gentle and brilliant as much as he is strong and funny. He loves his two cats Poly and Moog, and adopted them with the explicit intention of ‘which cats are you having a hard time adopting?’ Though he can be reserved and introverted, Kyle has a fierce passion for his career and will always offer a helping hand to anyone in need, often taking calls to mentor professionals beginning their career. I’ve become a better person through knowing and loving him.

This is soo awesome

I made an interactive cassette machine for my new record “Thumbtack” loadcard.itch.io/thumbtack It works on both mobile/desktop in browser. No track skipping! Physical cassettes available soon via Julia’s War Recordings. #gamedev #godot #cassette #lofi #indie #alt #mathrock #phillymusic

a couple years back i made this game jam entry for an arcade cab. recently for a diff project i had to detect whether the player was on a mobile vs desktop web build, changing the controls and orientetion as a result. decided to do the same for this guy: loadcard.itch.io/heart-attack #gamedev #godot

finding dk bananza equal parts one of my favorite recent games and also pretty overwhelming. I can’t help but want to completely destroy the fully destructible environment instead of progressing the game

absolutely smashing #gameaudio talk on music structures in wwise for large open-world games - this one is from Destiny 2. loved how they automated structures in music hierarchy along with transitions 😱

if you have gdc vault access highly recommend this one - gdcvault.com/play/1034383...

Great thread, thanks for sharing!!

a pro tools session of drums with a headache inducing amount of edits

Going a little nuts finishing mixing a record (typical). Looking forward to the colder months where I don’t say ‘yes’ to everything. i am tired and want to check out godot 4.5

Oh shit no this feels way better especially how the drums are landing

I’m counting it like 7/8 - 4/4 - 6/8

It was fun! Actually, I have no idea about the mics - maybe? This is the first drum session I played on where I didn’t also try to have a hand in the engineering, I just let recordist do their thing and I focussed on playing. Way less stress!
