Happy holidays everyone. Each year @doomedmaiden.bsky.social and myself work on a collaborative custom holiday card based on a game we enjoyed. (We are getting pretty good at predicting the GOTY with these.) Please enjoy "Holiday Obscure eX-MASpedition 33"! (so easy to pronounce) #goty #expedition33
A parody holiday card that looks like the cover of a game sleave for a game called Holiday Obscure Exmaspedition 33. Santa is shown flying through the air, his clothing puffed up as if inflated with ai. He wears a stylized mask like that of the character Esquie. Elves in peppermint striped outfits wearing red caps, and a reindeer, ride on his back. 

Text on the left says : Once a year the Gift-tress awakens, her ominous ornament hung on the monument tree. And
everyone of that age vanishes, as tinsel adorns the tree. Each year the number decreases. 
Soon she will hang the number 33, and when she does we will embark on our final mission - to 
confront the Gift-tress and end the Tinseling for good. Embark on Exmaspedition 33, alongside incredible characters as you quest to restore joy and holiday cheer. Let the world once 
again watch the tree be decorated without the shadow of the Gift-tress and her ornate number.

- An emotional Xmas adventure story.
- Turn-based gameplay at the North Pole.

Attempt three. This one had less salt and a tighter structure. I still think I can do better, but it cut cleanly and has a nice bounce to the bread (good structure)

So glad that the Access Controller is opening up more ways to play the previous titles. The importance of developing accessibility in games is highlighted more today than ever. We should all be developing accessibility into the base games however, since accessibility by design is more approachable.
