My name is Kyle and I make videogames in and around Toronto, Canada.

 

Find blog posts too long?  Catch me on Mastodon for shorter form posts & conversation.  See the About Me section for other places you can catch me. See Status for what I'm currently thinking about.

Still in love with most tracks from Brontide: Limehouse Ink in particular.  Here's an official video for "Matador".  I can't find a great video of Limehouse Ink, but I did find a guitarist who made a great piece that starts with the wildly looped segment of the original track.

AI

Authenticity

Been thinking a lot about AI (because of external forces, not any personal desire), and I only really have one hope: That the ocean of sameness we will soon be floating through increases the average consumers acceptance threshold for jank.

Seriously frustrating how hard it is to share family photos with my family while preventing some AI from training itself on my children's faces.

Social Media

At some point in the last ten years - call it 2017 or 2018 - I reduced all of my social media use.  Mostly Twitter, but arguably that's where I did most of my posting.  I learned a ton from the folks on Twitter in the early 2010s, but at some point I noticed that Twitter wasn't what it once was.  Thousands of cuts seemed to have taken it from an information-dense firehose of select people's thoughts, to an information-sparse firehose of thoughts deemed most pertinent to me.  Deemed pertinent by whom, though?
