honestly re: reverse engineering it just kinda blows to see your fun hobby get completely blown up by AI shit and people who love the slop machine because it's faster. AI art and shit at least *most* people correctly loathe + shun it, but too many people think that code isn't similarly creative.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers found that a previously overlooked immune cell, known as gamma delta T-cells, can recognize, detect, AND destroy small cell lung cancer (SCLC) EVEN when it has hidden itself from the immune system, revealing a NEW immune pathway for fighting the deadliest form of the disease.

From beyond the grave... THE RETROTHON RETURNS! Starting tomorrow and until up to midnight on Halloween: I'm playing nothing but retro faves for as long as it lasts! I'm choosing games primarily from community suggestions, and I'd love to hear what retro games you would wanna see me play. 🐰💕
An info sheet for the retrothon, from beyond the grave! Oct 17th til up to oct 31st. It's styled like a windows 98 desktop because bunny is a dweeb. The about section says that bunny's playing retro faves and raising funds for winter heating and electrolysis, the milestones shows potential unlocks (from writing a bsky post to an all dizzy games day). and there is a note about the time limit and any remaining time turning into spicy jellybeans.

Bunnyhearted stands in the centre in a miss frizzle inspired outfit making a peace sign, and is a lowpoly bunny woman vtuber with brown floofy hair, glasses, and a cool slime on her head. She's in a dress covered in stars and planets, with planets orbiting her head.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

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."

Cool. Did you know that the creator of Below the Root on Apple II went on to make an Alice in Wonderland game in the same engine, then years later ported it to the CD-i with neat art, as well as making another game in the same engine, Laser Lords, an adventure game set in space?

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.
Screenshot of the Nvidia app's "Settings > Features" section.
Showing the newly added "AI Agents and App Connections" section.
The option for "Allow Agents to control NVIDIA App" is enabled by default.
This happened in version 11.0.9.565

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

Hi, all! I made a NEW new game launcher. It might not have many features like a shopping cart, or a store, or the ability to actually launch games. But it loads faster than even the new version of Steam, which I have determined to be the only metric of success for a launcher.

On the first National Coming Out Day, in 1988, ACT UP stormed the FDA headquarters to demand faster development of HIV/AIDS treatments.
[Photo of QUEER AND HOW WE GOT HERE page 38]
“On the first National Coming Out Day, in 1988, ACT UP protested the slow testing of potential AIDS medications. They pict a unique target with the power to make the changes: the FDA headquarters.”

[Full-page illustration of of ACT UP protesting at the FDA headquarters, which looks like a boring office building. Riot cops guard the door. Overhead, ACT UP has hung a “SILENCE = DEATH” banner and various posters. Protesters in white lab coats with “FDA Has [red handprints]” written on the back hold up their bloody-looking hands. Protesters doing a die-in hold gravestone-shaped signs reading “Dead from lack of drugs,” “R.I.P. killed by the F.D.A.,” “Killed by the system,” “I died for the sins of the FDA,” “Dead from lack of dextran sulfate.” Overlaying the illustration are protest chants: “The FDA has blood on its hands!” “FDA! Don’t delay! Fifty-two will die today!” “Act up! Fight back! Fight AIDS!”]

“They forced the FDA to approve and release drugs faster, and got people with AIDS involved in designing the drug trials. ACT UP’s media coverage created a powerful image of people with AIDS and their allies.”
