So Project Gameface has been released from Google. I truly hope it lasts more than 5 minutes a lot of Google projects last for. I have a weird hope it will as it’s been fully open-sourced from day 1 (& complete)- but then again, it’s really half-baked ... willwa.de/2023/05/16/so-…

ALS in its most advanced stages changes not only your perspective on life but the core essence of who you are. When I lost my ability to walk during my first year of symptoms, I was still concerned of my new image as a disabled person and how I was seen by society. I bought a fancy wheelchair and tried to continue with my life as normally possible. Fast forward six years later, I am writing this post with my eyes, hooked to a ventilator. It's been three years since I had real food or heard the sound of my voice. The questions I ask myself now have drastically changed. Instead of being concerned of my image, I'm more concerned with my relationship with God. Furthermore, I ponder about my place in this universe rather than in society. Before, I lamented over fading relationships, whereas now I'm at peace being by myself. The glamour and noise of galas, award ceremonies, film screenings, and fundraising walks doesn't intrigue me as much as finding that moment of silence where time seems to stand still. Lastly, realizing how much love you leave this world with will ultimately determine your legacy. #ALSAwarenessMonth

@BrannonZ @joshculpart Wrist straps might be interesting to try instead of mounting controllers! (And cheaper) We use straps on VR controllers…

Alright! I'm curious: If you could have one accessibility feature or design change on Xbox, what would it be? #a11y #Xbox
