The Hatoful Bo6friendnsequel we never got

That fight is awesome, and I kind of hate that they had to preclude it with soft porn for 13-year-olds...

Keep seeing people rather on the bird talk in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. I'm not exactly a fan, but I do find it *way* less weird (and more fun in its silliness) than the (occasionally creepy) tea time sections in Three Houses

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

Been getting too much sleep of late?

I guess this is what I get for having Kickstarter connected to the mostly ignored nightmare that is a Hotmail address T_T

Fun time to check my hotmail/kickstarter in half a year or so and realise my pledge was dropped -_-

@pretendbeard.bsky.socialOct 14, 2026, 4:39 AM

I'm sure that this is hardly the only instance, but it doesn't seem to be standard. Had I been clever enough to think of it myself, I'd probably have been doing this

@pretendbeard.bsky.socialOct 14, 2026, 12:06 AM

Honestly, this seems to be legit low-key genius

A Castlevania game...made by the team behind Dead Cells?

Has there been a better match?

Read Jason's review to see just how this ideal pairing turned out.

O_o I know I'm piggybacking a bit here, but suddenly reminded that time is a thing that passes. I was just blindly assuming you'd still be around whenever I found myself in Tokyo next...

What can you say? This was the definite winner they will never top. Also one of the best things I've seen at any PRGE

Wait... Deus Ex: Human Revolution is set... next year?

(Worth noting that I assume a decimal point has faded off, but things are so insane at this point that MAYBE NOT!?)

@pretendbeard.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 3:53 AM

Whenever I see this, I wonder how much the artists and designers that actually created this get paid in a year...

@pretendbeard.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 2:02 PM

This is cute, but they could have just shouted out You Are Elon Musk instead?
