💜 I worked on that, and our follow-up, On Fire Edition. Hope you enjoyed it, as that’d be a nice bit of karmic balancing - I’m heavily using the advice from your GDC burnout talk atm. Your bit about not speed running the recovery process saved me from trying exactly that. I 100% would have. 😅

Urgh. Sorry Brendan. I've always appreciated the journalism of you and the GI.biz crew.

For anyone finding this here and needing the same thing - Per Kaitlyn (over on The Bad Place), folks can plug in a switch to the 3.5mm jack that's labeled with the Xbox logo, and pressing that will work :)

Hah, yup. Things being accessible is good for everyone - temporary or situational disabilities matter too. :)

Damnit Brendan, I'd managed DECADES without noticing that 😅

To be fair, they were guys with wigs. Also, they still wanted to own other people, which really should play a larger role in disqualifying them for hero worship. People love their peer pressure from dead people though :(

Haven't heard any of that either, but folks have said org leads have significant leeway

.. whoah? Well FWIW, I'll gladly vouch for Britt's knowledge of gamedev & games accessibility. She's been very successful bringing in more players for her devs, and helping them bring their accessible vision to life. I'd love to see her at Xbox, and envious if she lands at your studio/pub instead.

Ah, the good old days. Well, better at least, the bar is not high.
