Microsoft is laying off around 9,000 people, and many of those cuts are expected to hit Xbox, with games being canceled and studios closed. @aftermath.site's Riley MacLeod takes a look at some of the industry veterans who have been caught in this decision: Matt Firor, who leaves Microsoft-owned Zeinmax after more than 18 years and started making games in the 1990s; Jon Knoles, who began his career working on "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" in 1991; Gregg Mayles, who was hired by Rare in 1989, and many more. "When [Microsoft gaming CEO] Phil Spencer writes in his layoff justification that 'we would not be where we are today without the time, energy, and creativity of those whose roles are impacted,' the people he’s speaking of weren’t just foundational to Microsoft, but to some of gaming’s earliest characters, studios, and systems.
WE HAVE ALMOST SAVED GAMING.
Or have we? Can we still save it?
All it would have taken was a million signatures from EU citizens.
Don't we have a million gamers in the EU who are eligible to vote?

I want to give a thank to the devs that have started working on my silly project, (no particular order) VD15, Nyanide, pwm, Moon, Munir, Naiji, and everyone that has commented, liked, repeated or someway be interested in the project. 
You're all awesome.
How are we continuing? 
The development continues steadily on our free time.
I'm slowly also making cards as we go, to try out new styles, and search for a consistent art-style, at least for the first batch.
Based on the poll that I made the other day:
https://mai.waifuism.life/notes/a8pd3yavp1a700qv
The most wanted types of cards and their votes were:
- Niche anime 65
- Inside Jokes 71
- Original characters 82
- Fedi admins 99 votes
- OS-tans (fedi mascots too) 135 votes!!
I'll be focusing on these kinds of cards for the first batch, but any recommendations are still appreciated.

Shout-out to the least liked kind of cards: Gacha games

It's time to #PitchYaGame!
In "Yet Another Zombie Survivors" (#YAZS), you control a squad of up to three warriors who have had enough of hiding behind barricades. Now is the time to make the zombie horde pay for their unholy existence!
Please boost for reach! Which would you prefer from a self-funded indie game studio that can't afford translation services:
1) Don't translate the game at all. Just leave it in English.
2) Use LLMs to translate the games, but have a crowdsourcing system to correct errors.
3) Have a crowdsourcing system and only make languages available when the crowd completes them.

Wie kleine Spielestudios der Krise trotzen und mit kreativen Ideen das Ruder herumreißen, hat @r3ndom für @ct_Magazin am Beispiel von Happy Broccoli Games aufgeschrieben. Gerade hat das Berliner Studio mit #DuckDetective The Ghost of Glamping ein weiteres Spiel veröffentlicht. Eine Hommage an die Ente, die den Laden aus der Misere gezogen hat:

It's been a while since we've seen this kind of reaction to a video game (perhaps not since "Breath of the Wild" in 2017): People are raving about "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33." Here's a @Flipboard Storyboard with a selection of reviews that focus on its emotional maturity, accessibility, artistic design and more, plus deep dives into how it got made. Tell us in the comments if you've played it and what you think.
@lgbtqia

Have some fun and save some lives at same time.
one time project, about 30 hours of work, followed by a few hours a week max of maintenance.
