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

DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.

Asking AI to do the hard work risks your brain health, neuroscientist warns
A study has found AI use lifted homework scores and completion rates but also led to a drop in exam performance. Neuroscientist James Vickers says there are clear problems with offloading mental labour to AI.

It has been a few weeks with my @frame.work 13 and I think I have settled on Pop!_OS with the COSMIC DE. It's not the cheapest machine, but it is my "work" machine, it needs to provide the least friction to getting stuff done. This laptop will last me for many years all going well.

Initial impressions of the Framework 13 - better than expected. Quite premium feeling. Speakers and trackpad a little better than expected too, not terrible. It is a more expensive laptop, but works out cheaper than MacBooks if you need RAM and storage.
