i am biased. my insta feed has finally been bombarding me with the most beautiful women/femmes i’ve ever seen in my life, and every single one of them is so adorably squishy. i am living the goddamn life.

insanely cool to see the majority of players did want this. after the success of Ryza, who had way more curves than any of the protags before her, i love seeing more players understanding that the squish is the best part 🙂‍↕️👊🏻

NEW: Here's a big read about how Ubisoft union workers in Milan and Canada are attempting to push back against a sweeping five-day return-to-office mandate they claim is already tanking morale and will result in employees being forced to leave. Notably, it is also driving union interest.

seeing people genuinely suggest that the game awards are rigged for gta 6 is so funny because i promise you if there’s one thing you don’t need to trick gamers into doing it’s celebrating the very expensive and highly marketed release as an artistic masterpiece. they will do that for free

Asked the BDS movement if it'd like to provide comment on today's House House news:

"The Palestinian BDS movement wholeheartedly welcomes game developer House House’s principled decision to boycott Microsoft’s Xbox in the release of their new game “Big Walk”. By refusing to work with Microsoft as the company actively enables Israel’s ongoing genocide and apartheid against Palestinians, it is clear that the world of arts and games can be disentangled from Israel’s atrocity crimes and be used as a force for good. The BDS movement calls on all gamers, game developers, games journalists and workers to sign the No Games for Genocide pledge and boycott Microsoft’s Xbox to pressure Microsoft to end complicity."

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

Regarding Xbox

In June 2026 we announced that the release of Big Walk would be limited to computers, Switch 2 and PS5. Since then, we have received many messages and comments, asking about a future Xbox release. We would like to address those questions here:

We have made the decision not to release Big Walk on Xbox, in accordance with the Palestinian-led BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement’s call to boycott Microsoft, and their designation of Microsoft Games (and Xbox) as a priority boycott target. If you need help understanding our motives, we would recommend reading about why Microsoft is a BDS priority target, the successes this kind of pressure has already had on Microsoft, and especially, watching this great introductory piece by People Make Games.

It has always been our intention for Big Walk to be played by groups of friends, and we know that keeping the game off Xbox runs counter to those intentions. This decision means that some people will miss out on playing Big Walk with their friends, and we understand the disappointment we’re causing. We are disappointed too.

We would love for people to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets.

We’ve made this decision with the belief that meaningful change can be made in the world, that coordinated collective action can confront even the most powerful interests, and that one day, Palestine will be free.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
House House

Every morning, he comes into the bathroom when we brush our teeth and the floor is cold on his toes so he wiggles his tail - that’s Electric Tail. He has not forgone Electric Tail Time completely, but he does basically teleport to the mat and plops on it like a pig in slop. Bath Mat for Jiabber.

He has also has this thing where he Must be in the kitchen with you, which we call Kitchen for Jiabber. However, he is forsaking this six-year long tradition of somersaulting and rub rubs for the bath mat.

One of my partners came over today to assist with some Tasks I’ve been Avoiding and realized Jiabber’s default state is just purring. Constantly. When he’s not screaming, he’s purring. Just all the time.

This is such important work, and the thing to keep in mind is that when AI people tell you that games will be personalized for you, this is the kind of thing they are more likely to mean.

Read that wrong! Migraine. That would be easier for me to play for a longer period of time when it comes to the drafting parts! I still prefer the sewing assist since I can use different parts of my hands to reduce strain when I use a keyboard (knuckle vs fingertip, base of my thumb on a spacebar)

Aiden Straw(berry)hun 🍓 @astraww.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The rest of the game has quite a bit of clicking and dragging which is a bit painful for me if I play too long. It does a wonderful job of making the technical parts (ie sketching, cutting on the bias or grain, piecing together the pieces) very approachable and easy to understand too!

110 1

Aiden Straw(berry)hun 🍓 @astraww.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Can’t go into a ton of granularity, but the base gameplay of the sewing function is a click and drag situation to rotate, and a click on the keyboard to sew. The rotating puts stress on my wrist and fingers; the sewing assist eliminates that need to rotate yourself and just uses the keyboard click

I fear I have the coolest eyeshadow ever because it’s purple with a copper flash in the pan, but somehow has a bright blue base with a teal shift and is also purple and brown. I do not understand how it does this.

The left isn’t weak because of infighting. The left is weak because every facet of our society and economy is geared to the benefit of fascism and white supremacy and it is the challenge of multiple lifetimes to dismantle all of that.

yeah dogs and cats can’t chew their food either, they also don’t have cheeks. they kinda just chomp and gulp or gnaw. extremely deceptive marketing on cats’ part thanks to their fluffy little faces looking like cheeks
