I miss the twitter feature where people’s profile would include their location. I’m going to Toronto soon and I don’t have a way to stalk my friends and check if they live there….

Turning anything into a system/simulation is always inherently destructive… shows the values of the designer. There are lots of other ways to simulate relationships, but any you can “win” at would always feel gross to me 😅

yea i see that. the new design looks pretty feminized, kinda soft-boy energy at best. really interesting thing that was lost with higher "resolution," the older one felt just as believable as a disguise but that's because so much more is left to the imagination.

When a menu has a neat little tween. Or a character has a funny little animation. Somebody out there spent days making that little detail perfect. And when you’re playing a game you’re blasted with like 50 of these little things per minute. Games are so rich with human life! It’s awesome!!!

What’s crazy is I’ve gotten player feedback that’s word for word “it’s 2026, why isn’t this game running unlocked frame rate?” 2026 makes every game wrong now

Seeing it put under the “friendslop” umbrella feels tragic because the game has been in the works since long before the genre became trendy. The reason it’s coming out later is because a huge amount of effort went into it. Big walk is doing its own thing… it’s the real deal

Greg Lobanov @greg.style · 03/08/2026

Had the privilege of being a tester for big walk and I can corroborate that it’s an amazing, special game. A “play together with your friends” game made with tremendous thought and care and authenticity, so well crafted it ruined other co-op games for me. Get a group together, you won’t regret it!

What particularly interests me is how it uses generic skinner box/ progression systems but to motivate the type of game activity I find most exciting (trying stuff, messing around, discovering hidden interactions). It’s very thoughtfully designed. Nintendo magic…

played Yoshi and the mysterious book yesterday with the boys and it is great! so playful and fun! the kiddie aesthetic definitely made me doubt it. never played anything like it though and it got my gears turning with inspiration.

goofsder was designed by @virtualmoth.bsky.social and is a pretty special beastie to me. this is their "true form"... but they live in a perpetual upside-down handstand. the "antenna" on top of their head is their mouth! i adore this freak.
