  • As for price and features I think it will be comparable in price to the PS5 and Series X so around the £450 point.

    I doubt it actually. One of the key selling points of the Switch is the console being cheaper than competition, the Switch going for $300 and Switch Lite going for $200. I think it’ll stay the same price or at most be $350 with a general hardware upgrade.

    Also betting on a new 3D mario game being the launch title. I would be surprised if there also isn’t DLC or an enhanced edition of Tears of the Kingdom also there.

    From Xbox’s side we’ll hear more about their new 1st party titles from all those studios they acquired but I don’t expect many of them to release this year. Their one popular title will probably be Avowed, which I’m expecting to be basically Skyrim 1.5, janky combat included.

    Other random predictions:

    • Final Fantasy 16 comes to PC (as an Epic exclusive as usual)

    • Hollow Knight Silksong releases late 2024

    • Elden Ring DLC releases within a few months and is a banger

    • Windows game emulation on Android phones and ARM laptops will actually get really good

    • Valheim will still only release 1-2 major updates within the year

    • Many studios will attempt gimmicky AI-enhanced video games then give up when people quickly get over it

    • Netflix will combine or collaborate with Xbox Game Pass in some way

    • Lots of larger sized indie games will release on the Godot Engine instead of Unity.












  • While I don’t have the answers I did attempt to write a book for fun many years ago. It was quite an eye opening experience, because it turns out writing a book is hard, and very time consuming. I was only about 20 pages in before I gave up the idea.

    That said, you don’t have to actually write a book. Writing creative essays, short stories, and even articles can be very rewarding without needing any long-term commitments. I’d give those a shot before jumping into something as big as making a real book. I still enjoy writing and I’m sure you will too, but you need a ton of commitment to make a book.
