I used to religiously pre-order Zelda games, but I have yet to even bother with ToTK. I couldn’t finish BoTW either. On the other hand, this year, I’ve played through KCD2 twice, so guess my tastes have changed.
Probably won’t get a Switch 2 and will wait for a decent emulator. Nintendo’s litigiousness puts me off and I don’t really want to give them any more money.


Software subscriptions. I’ll buy a perpetual license if there’s no decent open source alternative as long as it will run offline. For example, $300 for Marvelous Designer back in the day was reasonable, but they can fuck right off with the subscription-only model.

I use Forgejo with LFS for my Blender projects, so this would probably be useful to me if a similar feature were added there.
As an aside, it seems Blender uses Gitea and not sure they have plans to migrate to Forgejo anytime soon since it looks like they’ve poured a lot of resources into Gitea and even formed a partnership with the maintainers:

There’s still a lot that only really works on Windows, and also a lot of people who don’t care enough to install a different OS than the one that came with the machine. I think the future holds more of the same, including continued enshittification. One day, Windows will be irrelevant, but I doubt it’ll be anytime soon.
