With layoffs at Xbox, sources indicate accessibility efforts have also been affected. What was once a champion of accessibility is now a shell of its former self, unsure if accessibility even has a place at the new Xbox. Read my first report for @aftermath.site here: aftermath.site/xbox-layoffs...
Layoffs Leave The Future Of Xbox’s Award-Winning Accessibility Efforts In Doubt

My oldest daughter has spent most of the past year asking if she could see The Backrooms when it came out. I went to see it in advance with my wife, and after some consideration, we decided to say yes. (Spoiler: She had a blast) www.crossplay.news/p/taking-a-k...

Yes, I took her to see The Backrooms.

This was me in 2023, quoted in Nature. Now see how things are going. When will the academic community wake up collectively & notice what is done to our scientific eco system. Resits. Organize. Refuse to play along. Fight slop. Take principled stands. 🖋️ openletter.earth/open-letter-...

I've noticed people have more or less stopped talking about Sektori. I'd prefer if we kept talking about Sektori, actually.
Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Well, this is a MAJOR blow to accessibility. Fortnite has nerfed the Visual Audio wheel, which was designed for deaf and hard-of-hearing players. It makes the game almost unplayable for those players. Plus it helped a ton of other disabled players, including myself www.linkedin.com/posts/cdspow...

God, it looks like a LOT of Accessibility specialists were hit by today's layoffs at Xbox, inclusing some of their most senior accessibility folks. This feels like a REALLY bad sign for accessibility at Xbox going forward. A huge amount of skilled talent being thrown out as part of this "shake up".
Oh my god, it has actual audio descriptions of the narrative visuals for the minigames, like Bits and Bops! This is a huge moment for a first party Nintendo game!
"Just to be clear: I don’t think LLMs will be with us for long, at least not in their current form. But I do think that we’re living through a period of generational damage, one that will take years to repair, if not decades."
