Which he is exploiting commercially

It would be a 'real shame' if Bethesda legal went after this guy for the way he's used their registered trademark in the name of his entirely unofficial and unauthorised slop mod

Big week for people confidently making completely ill-informed proclamations about how they think game development works, huh

It's cool that they're exploring stuff from the Cyberpunk RPG in Edgerunners II that only got touched on briefly in 2077

To be fair to House House, that would be Panic's decision. HH might prefer to remove UGG from the Xbox store but they can't unilaterally do that.

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

Sorry, I've just spent all day with a team of incredibly talented people who have been navigating an increasingly tough market for over a decade without ripping anyone off, only to come home to see this lazy old "aaah all mobile games are slop made by bastards" horsepiss and I'm so so tired of it

"A game modifies its difficulty to make you play longer!!" Oh like Resident Evil 4? Like Mario Kart? Who cares? Are the players pawning their possessions to feed their addiction? Being radicalised? Are you the target audience? Why do you care? Because of the dopamine hit of intrigue. That is all

This doesn't inform people, it just makes people with no critical thinking skills confidently claim that "all games do this" before launching into a scintillating anecdote about how once seeing a relevant ad 'proved' to them their phone is eavesdropping on them

Ever since Jason Pargin figured out that "pretending to let people in on a secret that confirms their prejudices that everyone else is either a con artist or a rube, except me, a 20-something guy who reads Cracked dot com" guarantees virality, people have been falling for it over and over

100

Hang about, are we really sharing around a *pandering viral TikTok video* to 'expose' how algorithms game people?

A free game being optimised to try to make sure new players don't immediately forget/delete it isn't "psychologically profiling" anybody, get a grip

It’s been a bad day, please don’t take a picture… 🙂‍↔️ “Bad Day” was released as a single on October 14, 2003. Here’s the video directed by Tim Hope.

I caught an intercity train this morning that was for the first time in a decade of using that route: spotlessly clean and cheaper than the last time I took the same journey It's almost like rail privatisation was a 'huge swindle' that 'sucked shit'?

That this bot, which posts random stills and clips from the thousands of hours of VHS transfers on archive.org, landed on *this specific frame* feels like finding the monkey at the typewriter that managed to write Hamlet.

Ah yes, an ecommerce client people trust with their credit card details is definitely something that should be built by a robot with a tombola. Looking forward to the eventual book on What Happened To Tim Sweeney's Brain

An easter egg from Duke Nukem 3D with a message from Richard "Levelord" Gray that reads "You're not supposed to be here. -Levelord"

Every notionally progressive UK politician (*cough* @zackpolanski.bsky.social @london.gov.uk @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social *cough*) needs to read this, then read it again, then ***delete their Twitter account***. *Lisa Nandy* managed it ferrchrissakes, enough is enough!

Any list of 'best PC games of all time' where all the 20th C. entries are FPS and point-n-click adventures is absurdly ahistorical

000

A ton of highly influential games from the 80s and 90s are essentially forgotten now. Designers like Geoff Crammond and Volker Wertich were at least as influential as Jordan Mechner and Will Wright. It's completely arbitrary what IP (and genres) managed to survive market shifts.

Sean Murray @nomansbsky.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

1. Ultima has obvious ongoing relevancy in terms of influence on modern CRPG design 2. The phenomena you're noticing is that statistically nobody plays old games ever, and only IP that continue to be exploited in the present are remembered or celebrated
