Hermit and Pig has the charm a lot of games wish they had! It can be subtle and hit you over the head (good). But mostly I am always excited to see where they go with something! Playing tonight, 8 pm est. Let me know how October has been going in chat and tell me your favorite thing from summer!

Retro Rewind reminded me I don't miss Blockbuster for the movies. I miss the third space. The in-person conversations. I miss picking one thing off the shelf and living with it. A late fee if you got crazy! What game would you rent for a weekend and actually finish?

Great Co-op games aren't always ones with refined gameplay. It’s ones that hand your group a story. Lethal Company. PEAK. RV There Yet. Overcooked 2. Winning can be forgettable. Someone getting yeeted off screen and making a weird noise? In the groups lexicon forever. Do you have a Co-op story?

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

Team. AI nonsense in this industry keeps happening. The game has you talking to your sister, who is AI, to teach them to drive. This Dev admitted that they are spending $1000 a day on just to keep their demo going, because the AI is using too many tokens. What is happening??

There has been some really good reporting on this. It is going to be interesting to see how this unfolds, but comes off as unserious and not something that will drive the industry further with competition.

The best emotion Indiana Jones and the Great Circle gave me was after beating it. 100%'ing it even! Games keep giving us bigger maps. But those smaller, more detailed, lived in spaces are the ones that stayed with me. I am going to boot it up again soon! What game did you stay in after it ended?

I'll get hurt by a bad game I am excited to play. That is apart of the journey or the art! But I won't get excited for a game that skipped the part where people made it though. Crazy Taxi lost me on gen AI. Still ready to be disappointed by a new Fable What game are you willing to be let down by?

This is some of the most insane - big brain - CORPO - not understanding the people who play games or work in the industry....bull that I have seen in a while. What a way to get people to not buy the game or support the company.

Knuckle Creek looks fantastic! I am not the biggest fighting game fan, but I wishlisted this one. The dev said it took them 7 years to make. Going to see if there are any behind the scenes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP6m...

I’ve been playing WoW: Forever and my favorite thing to do in global chats is to simply ask, “Is God real?”. The chat just flutters with message after message either debating or cracking jokes.

Small streams don't lose because the big ones are funnier or have expensive equipment. I am being a little reductive, but they lose since the big ones are already live when you hop on. If you've stayed in a 12-viewer stream, what was the game? Asking as someone trying to be one of those streams.

I took a huge break, but I am back! I’ve got a new stream schedule, a backlog of games to tackle, new video ideas- including some Game Industry discussion- and plenty of stream upgrades in the works. Excited to start creating again. See you live later this week!

I looked at my library and I think I just want to work. Stardew. Euro Truck. Two Point Hospital. 911 Operator. Prison Architect. Gas Station Simulator. Overcooked 2. A crazy number of my games are employment with a better soundtrack. What's the job you clock into on purpose?

Cult of the Lamb is Stardew if the town worshiped you and also you had a hit list. I went in to kill gods. I stayed to feed followers and move the camp around. The chores won. THEY ALWAYS WIN. Maybe not in real life though....

Stardew Valley is not a cozy game. It's a calendar with a pitchfork! The season ends whether you finished the bundle or not. Crops die. Fences degrade. Not having enough to buy the new season seeds........ What game pretended to be relaxing and then put you on a timer?

These changes to the Game Industry has been on the horizon for a while. 2026 is when they pulled the trigger. Going all Digital sucks. Layoff's- suck. Rising Prices suck. Buying great studios and shuttering/canceling their games suck. Simply not making art sucks!

One thing that stands out is the game’s views of the cops. It seems too cop positive. Unsure if they’re doing a throw back to how our 80’s and 90’s media view cops or really wanted to paint a positive light for them. Feels weird either way.

Been playing Insomnia’s Spider-man for the first time. Some games can be made for different people AND still be good. Some people work and have so much going on- they pick a game and play for weeks (short limited sessions). Some people like collecting! Some people want to be Spider-man!

As expected, good things don’t last long in this industry. Layoffs at Xbox. No reporting on who or how large, yet. New CEO>Restructure>layoffs Change is needed. 100% cannot deny the weird past choices. Disappointment is with letting go devs who are making fun, great things for us!

I wonder if the Xbox people, being guided by the new CEO, are finally looking at more steady growth with the new changes. They certainly seem to be turning fans back around after several choices made before Sharma took over. This recent showcase was a major step forward.

Bad Magpie and Vivarium looked really cool and fun. Magicians:Devils Deal was also a stand out. Crazy Taxi is disappointing after hearing about Gen Ai. Very into and ready to be hurt over a new Fable!

Xbox had interesting choices. Going back to exclusives (Gears of War was gonna be on PS5). See through console. Focusing heavy on COD extraction shooter that was presented like it was the 2010’s. Was highly entertained and excited to see them still being competitive. Noticed a lot of Game pass!

The less sure pile for the Nintendo Direct tomorrow: - Maybe Smash Bro’s updated for switch 2? - Wishful thinking got me hoping for a 3D Mario, but a lot of people in the industry have talked about DK being the Mario for now.

Nintendo Direct tomorrow!?!? My predictions: - Zelda Movie - A Zelda remake or remaster is revealed (probably OOT) - Starfox - A remake/remaster of an old Metroid? - Mario Kart World addon’s or DLC, probably DK themed - Xenoblade - More on Duskblood and Elden Ring - Fire Emblem
