I moved across the country about 2 years ago after a relationship ended. And man being away from your friends and family, while also working remotely, is rough. Very grateful for the position I’m in, but man do I feel really isolated 😅😅😅 being super shy doesn’t help either lol

If you haven't played it yet, Control is currently 90% off on steam and it is one of my favorite games of all time. It's not perfect by any measure but it has so many moments that'll make you go "oh fuck that's fucking awesome hell yeah fuck yeah" that you owe it to yourself to try it.

A Statement from WoWGG-CWA on Today's Layoffs at Microsoft.
Full text:

As the gaming industry shrinks, Microsoft Gaming is uniquely positioned to take responsibility for the pressures it created and agree to much-needed job security measures for game workers.

Disappointingly, leadership has instead decided once again that their mistakes should be paid for by the workers.

We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at Compulsion Games, Double Fine Productions, Ninja Theory, Undead Labs, id Software, Bethesda Game Studios, ZeniMax Online Studios, and all other affected studios today.

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.
A red poster with a white logo (a polygonal heart lifted by 2 hands) and the title "United Videogame Workers – Hardship Fund", followed by this copy:

"UVW-CWA stands for every game worker: for those still employed and fighting for union contracts and those who have been callously treated as disposable by executives who've never shipped a title. 

We are proud to announce our launch of a hardship fund for game workers across the US and Canada who have been subjected to layoffs. If you are a game worker in need of support, please apply."

Below the text is a link to the initiative (as in the post) and the UVW-CWA logo.

So, just to be clear, Asha wants 12% of the POPULATION OF THE WORLD to be on Xbox every day?? In this economy?? When Xbox hasn't even sold 200 million units across all generations? This is just embarrassing 🫠
A screenshot of the current world population at 8,298,979,488 (just over 8 billion people)A screenshot taht says: "Xbox Sales Numbers by Year: The Complete Data Guide (2001–2025)

Microsoft has sold an estimated 191+ million Xbox consoles across four hardware generations since 2001, yet the company stopped officially disclosing hardware unit sales in October 2015, creating one of gaming’s most persistent data gaps."

I really appreciate the headline here. I think studies need to be done on the CEO brain, do they think we're all very stupid, or do they have no grasp of reality at all? My bet is on a mix of both.
pcgamer.com
Xbox's CEO wants its games to cater to 'more than a billion people each day', or 24 times more than the peak population of Steam, which is delusional
Alternate title: Does Xbox CEO Asha Sharma know what a billion is?
