If you do happen to make contact, look away as quickly as you can, but you may only be delaying the inevitable. The more pages you gather, however, the more it becomes apparent that you aren't alone. You might be lulled into a sense of security by the quiet evening and the familiar sounds of nature. Just click to pick up any pages you find, and right-click if you think turning off the flashlight will help you somehow. Use the keys to move, the mouse to look around, and hold to sprint. Based on an internet-birthed urban legend (we hope), Slender stars you as a faceless, foolish explorer armed only with a flashlight, lost in the woods at night, searching for eight missing pages. I've just been playing the nightmare adventure game Slender, by Parsec Productions, who apparently hate sleep so much they decided to make sure nobody can ever close their eyes again. No longer being able to share screenshots or clips from one's Xbox to Twitter comes as a consequence of this feud.If I were allowed shed all semblance of professionalism to write what I really thought, my review for this game would just consist of "nope nope nope nope nope nope nope" and some choice bits of shrill, panicky, improvised profanity. The two are currently in a social media war, as Microsoft will also be ending Twitter support on its advertising platform, while Musk teased that he might sue Microsoft. If this is an intentional, permanent change, it also seems to indicate that Microsoft won't be playing ball with Elon Musk's Twitter changes. Still, considering how common sharing screenshots and videos taken while playing a game has become on social media, it's a surprising change for Xbox to make.

So far, Xbox is the only console manufacturer to disable this feature, so we'll have to wait and see if Nintendo or PlayStation follow suit. When asked by fans why the change occurred, all Microsoft would say is that "we've had to disable the ability to share game uploads directly to Twitter." Shortly after the feature was disabled, the official Xbox Twitter account posted a step-by-step process of how players could still get their Xbox screenshots and clips on Twitter by sharing them from the Captures menu in the Xbox mobile app. It seems that Microsoft has opted not to foot that bill, instead disabling Twitter's integration with Xbox on console and PC altogether. While Microsoft has not confirmed if this change is permanent, this disabling comes after Twitter rolled out new access tiers for its API, including an Enterprise tier that reportedly costs $42,000 a month.

The move comes amid growing tensions between Microsoft and Twitter owner Elon Musk, who recently made a controversial change to the platform's API rules. It is no longer possible to upload and share screenshots and videos to Twitter from Xbox consoles or the Xbox Game Bar on PC.
