What’s the first piece of software you remember actually paying for with your own money?
Not bundled with a computer. Not work software. Something you wanted badly enough to hand over your own cash for.
I’m curious how old-school this thread gets. I think I actually paid for a copy of Ulead PhotoImpact😂
With my own money? Transmit FTP by @panic. Teenger, maybe late 1990s. I couldn't get something working and I emailed support, sure they would help a paying customer. They never wrote me back. I vowed to never pay for software again. (true story)
can you tell me what email you used back then? i will genuinely check our archives for it! (i single-handedly answered every single support email back then — it was exhausting — so i’m dying to know.)
Here is the gets motion sick looking at fps games like doom award 🥇
Wow thank you so much I would like to use this time to thank my mom and my dad and my whole family really. Also the inventor of the first person camera. Couldn’t have done it without you.
i guess i dont typically play a ton of 3D first/third person games with controller (mostly KB+M), and my friend recommended controller for this game (which makes sense for the individual arm controls) so it really trips me up when it isnt consistent across the games i play haha,
Earlier this year, we set up a special room in our office where people could sneak preview Big Walk with their friends. Almost 1,000 people came by.
We wanted the experience to be special, not just sitting at a screen. So we had some fun. Here's a look at the room's big finale.
My family and I love this cute game! We've enjoyed it together for hours.
What are these little guys called?
Can I call them Bloppers? They look like Bloppers.
Wave Goodbye 👋🏻🥹💕
This is the end of me & my brother journey 🤍
Thank you @panic for the amazing game! #BigWalk
It was really BIG, funny, and full of enjoyable puzzles! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Well I don't know because I can't get past the Get Started screen so that my license is verified and I can actually use the product. This is frustrating, to say the least.
Ok. Any idea why an FTP server I was connecting to via Transmit a month ago suddenly won't connect anymore? Was there an update to v5 that changed anything? It just won't connect.
In just six days, over one million of you have bought Big Walk, our co-op adventure about talking and walking.
We are so grateful that so many of you are spending time with our game. And we deeply appreciate your fanart, your streams, and your moments.
Thank you for playing.

Big Walk, of course, was the result of many years of hard work from a small team — House House — with support from lots of others. Here's the full list of people who made Big Walk great! bigwalk.game/credits/
Towards the end of our session, my friends and I ended up filling a room with flare gun smoke, took all the laser pointers we could find, and made our own DIY rave. @panic and @house_house_ really cooked with Big Walk
