5 years... I've been working on the Accessible Games Initiative tags for 5 years. When it launched at #GDC2025 it felt surreal. But today it feels... indescribable. These tags are now available on Xbox.com, the Xbox Console Store, and more. #a11y

@steinekin @starwars Exactly what I did last night. Great season and the tone plays perfectly into Rogue One.

That one time I played a kidnapped version of myself and got to sing a holly jolly musical number in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Enjoy!

@steinekin @TheBatman Could not agree more. I think it's 11/10 because it had a very high chance of being 4/10.

@steinekin I assume you're also queuing up the WWII documentaries to watch while that thing heats up.

Congrats and thanks to everyone at @Blizzard_Ent and @PlayHearthstone for launching Battlegrounds Duos. Me and my boys are totally hooked.

It took me a day but I realized that #EPIC2023 is a actually a social justice conference with a focus on ethnography. And I mean that as the highest compliment. #epicconference

After Flashpoint's India, this was the first map we got to work closely on. Was great to have a strong research proof of concept by testing out the map during blockout phase. Stoked to see folks learn more and get their hands on it soon!

@jennpanattoni @BethesdaStudios @Xbox Love it. You don't even have to fake a cold or a sick dog or anything. Jealous.

@stevesaylor @jennpanattoni Yo cousin I highly recommend a 2nd time through. There was a lot I missed or didn't connect after the first time.
English
@jennpanattoni I just finished binging it this week and the two seasons are amazing!!

@DanielLPeterson @PlayOverwatch Congrats! Just played the first mission and can't wait to play more.

It can be hard to explain my work on @PlayOverwatch, but with the launch of INVASION I'm proud to have been part of a massive amount of new/updated UI and VFX. One day I'll add it to my portfolio, but for now I'll annoy my friends with the constant refrain, "Oh hey, I made that!"

@steinekin I miss doing the Microsoft 5ks around campus through some of those trees.

@reg_inee Uh oh. Our unofficial family motto is "control what we can control".

Life is meant to be lived not controlled - this is something I didn’t learn until recently.
