In games for 10y Opinions my own

George Broussard @georgebsocial jfc, I just got word of a list of Xbox studio closures (no, not posting them). If it's even close to true (and it's from inside) this will likely be the largest single layoff event in gaming history. Xbox is going to be supremely unpopular for a very long time and the devastation is going to reverberate like the meteor that took out the dinosaurs.

Passage de Sei Shônagon, Choses qui rendent heureux et autres notes de chevet. "Ce qui convient, si cet homme n'a pas une boîte renfermant plusieurs encriers, c'est une écritoire en deux boîtes qui entrent l'une dans l'autre. Si alors les dessins ornant ces boîtes laquées sont jolis, sans paraître pourtant trop recherchés"
