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

Digital Foundry do a decent website version. Written scripts of their performance videos with graphs, and hardware peripheral reviews that aren't videos. They do hardware news too. I think you could post scripts of videos, and supplement with written op eds, columns, and interviews.

I'm sorry, an AI guy telling you "The wool is being pulled over your eyes" while simultaneously owning a huge ass yarn factory will never not be funny. You're literally part of the problem my guy.

I can confirm that this client runs like shit.

In the same day Epic announced a complete overhaul of anticheat on Linux and a buggy launcher that they claim is vibe coded. aftermath.site/epic-anticheat...

The page showing their new client preview. It says "a facelift" which is crossed out and it says "A new foundation. Now in Preview."

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Kotaro Uchikoshi has followed up with Q&A

I thought some of you might have a few questions, so I've put together a little Q&A.

Q: Wait, so Uchi isn't with Too Kyo Games anymore?  
A: I'm still part of Too Kyo Games, thanks to the kindness of its members. It's a bit like branching out on my own while staying connected to the Too Kyo family. I guess... I just wanted to build something under my own banner, so I decided to start an independent company.

Q: So, you and Kodaka didn't have a falling-out?  
A: I may have fallen in love with him, but we'd never have a falling-out. We're still so close that we even have pajama parties at each other's houses, sipping strawberry milk boba together...

Q: What was the game that got canceled?  
A: I'm really sorry, but I can't reveal that here... I'll let you use your imagination, but if Uchi fans had heard the title, they might have danced like crazy with nosebleeds for three days and three nights straight.

Q: Why was the game canceled?  
A: I apologize, but I can't go into the details of that either. But on a more serious note, I think it's fair to say that major changes in the game development landscape may have played a part. And what brought about those changes? Needless to say... AI (artificial intelligence).

Advances in AI have made it possible for people to create games at a much lower cost. To stay competitive, mid-sized game developers like us need to find ways to cut costs. However, these days, using AI to make games is generally frowned upon, isn't it...? Unfortunately, under these circumstances, we're fighting a losing battle.

It's often assumed that using AI could cause creators to lose their jobs. But the opposite can also be true. In other words, "not using AI" could also cause creators to lose their jobs. If using AI had been an option, perhaps the project wouldn't have been canceled. Of course, humans would have handled all the creative work, leaving only the tedious tasks to AI. That way, we might have been able to cut development time, not staff.

Yeah. I'm still having a visceral reaction to the overdesigned costumes. And the ocarina still sounds way too synthetic.

I worked it out. Grow Up Show reminds me of Akiba Maid War.

Townfall is a perfectly fine game. It's no Ace Combat 8.

@lawksland.bsky.socialOct 14, 2026, 10:21 AM

The worst thing about playing Silent Hill Townfall is that I'm not playing Ace Combat 8.

@lawksland.bsky.socialOct 14, 2026, 10:03 AM

Oh for fucks sake

@lawksland.bsky.socialOct 14, 2026, 8:05 AM

A miserable little pile of secrets.

The solo concert is the scraps.

@lawksland.bsky.socialOct 14, 2026, 6:17 AM

This is the 15th anniversary so probably not lololol
