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.
Oh, and here I was thinking we had 3 more years:

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.
Gwynne Shotwell mentions in this video that she saw a mechanical engineer’s talk when she was young and loved her suit. She said she’s hesitant to tell that story, but considers it an important topic because it is ultimately what inspired her to go into STEM.
I think her hesitance is due to the fact that men don’t understand and might ridicule her. For a young lady, seeing a successful woman in STEM bucking the stereotypes, just being herself, and not conforming to male standards changes their perception of the field. Maybe a lot of men shrug when they see Rita’s sparkly dress, but it’s inspirational to many girls with aspirations in STEM.
What would the legal consequences be if YouTube did not comply with the sanctions and refused to delete the videos / accounts? Are they caving because they don’t give a damn, or because they have no choice?
The name “Dick” was pretty fitting, though I can think of a few names for the man that would’ve been even better.
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:

Sometimes, I find it interesting to watch short clips of professional athletes doing exceptional things that most humans can’t do, but I don’t have the patience to sit on my ass for hours watching a ball go back and forth.
