I just found it interesting to look back through the years and see that most of the predictions for the following year all related to whatever dominated headlines that year (which is totally understandable!) like covid, or AI, or the invasion of Ukraine. This year there's a lot about a potential AI bubble as well as Trump, which makes sense given this year's headlines. I'm just curious what other sorts of stuff will appear that we are currently blissfully unaware of. I appreciate the outlandish predictions in this thread, even though they often end up being way off base.

This is the only reason I kinda sorta miss individual game cds. The physical act of taking out a game, putting it back in the case, then getting another game and putting it in your pc/console served as a mental threshold between games that basically said "okay this one is done now, time to move on to this new one". Nowadays it's just too easy and convenient to just exit one game and click one button and now you're in a whole different game. Repeat ad nauseam.

It's not because I am cool.
Hate to break it to ya, chief, but you sound pretty cool to me. Sorry you had to find out this way but your five year plan thing sounds cool AF.
Clothes: One style of socks only. Slip on shoes.
Yes! No more fumbling to match socks or to tie laces. I'm with you on this one.

I see that was in your predictions last year too. Are you actively looking to move or was that more just a jab at the city you live in?
Will personally be hit by a car.
I am glad you didn't throw yourself at a car just to fulfill your prediction. Lol what made you think you'd get hit by a car... oh wait is that why you dislike your city? Now it's making sense...

Google, Microsoft, Apple, probably Nvidia and a few select others all have the cash reserves to outlast any smaller players, so a big market correction just means that they can buy up smaller companies and become even more dominant than they already are. The only real way to stop this would be government intervention and that doesn't seem likely any time soon, so they'll continue to grow grow grow without a care for anything other than market share.

I'd say that one is also close to 100% given all the rumblings this year. But I'd be curious to see if your OpenAI predictions come true.

And yeah who knew changing nearly every aspect of your life could be so monumental, lol. So much prep work but hopefully all worth it in the end. We are fortunate that we have family to rely on and the means to make this big life change, so I can't complain too much.

They'll definitely make it out of their group, only Germany should give them real trouble. Then for the knock-outs I can definitely see them holding on to a few 0-0s and 1-0s, so who knows!

But a ton of new/different/unexpected things dominate the headlines in the following year, from covid to the rise of AI to trump to whatever. So my prediction for 2026 is that there will be some new development that none of us in this thread see coming that will absolutely dominate headlines next year. Super descriptive, I know (they call me Nostradamus).
Maybe it'll be a new war (unfortunately this doesn't seem all that unlikely), or some breakthrough tech/research (hopefully a cure to some major illness), a high profile assassination, some big natural disaster (actually given the state of the world I'm fairly confident of this one), or some sizeable economic development (maybe a recession, maybe Trump doubles down on tariffs, maybe health insurances just start dropping people from coverage en masse like homeowners insurances do after a big disaster). Or something completely different than anything I have here but that dominates the media discussion for a good chunk of the year.
Edit: forgot about the WC
My prediction for the world cup is that it goes off mostly without a major international incident. FIFA bends over backwards for Trump some more, the whole world laughs at the US (there'll definitely be posts about how beer at the stadiums will be like $15 or something), Americans stop paying too much attention after the US gets eliminated in the round of 16 or so, people still pay thousands of dollars for their tickets, and protests are mostly restricted to dissenting opinions online and some limited areas of the country like Seattle, LA, and NYC. The world will soon move on and FIFA will announce a new World Cup Winners Cup hosted in Saudi Arabia or the US with like the 10 previous winners of the World Cup

So far, I'm fairly ambivalent to the game, but I also haven't played it too much. I can see the potential though so I'll keep at it.
Slay the Spire, Balatro, and Monster Train are my holy trinity of roguelike deckbuilders. I hope you stick with Slay the Spire because it's really incredible once you get more familiar with all the cards and items and enemies. And if you like it, then definitely check out Monster Train next (or its sequel that recently came out).

But I figured I would wait and see what the others might be, plus let other people claim some.
Well now it's been a couple days and I see 7 is still available, and it sounds fantastic (love me some roguelites/roguelikes). So I'll definitely take it if that's alright.
Edit: oh whoops I had so much fun guessing what the games could be that I forgot to say something I was proud of. Well I've posted elsewhere that my wife and I are going through a big change in 2026, moving countries, starting new lives basically. And so this year we did A LOT of the prep work for that. Saving money, selling our house, visas, passports, research, etc. So much work that hopefully will pay off this coming year. So I'm proud of how far we've come compared to where we were when we first contemplated this move towards the end of 2024.
And in the spirit of the thread, I have some guesses as to what a few of the games might be. The description were helpful, but then the review scores really narrowed it down a ton:
Hiding it in case anyone wants to try and work it out for themselves
1 Dungeons of Hinterberg
7 Spiritfall (I first thought Hades but the review score didn't match up)
9 The Royal Writ
12 West of Dead

I'm just going to list a bunch that sound interesting to me but please give them to others if they have also requested them, I've gotten plenty already. I just love checking out random/silly games that I otherwise would have never heard of. I've discovered a few really neat little games from some previous giveaway threads. So thanks again for doing this!
8 a large prison (prison architect would be too obvious, right?)
26 appearance of dahlias (dahlia view, this one seems fairly straightforward compared to the rest)
36 destroy the knights (gotham knights?)
38 difficult (lmao dark souls? ha not sure but imagine a game just called Difficult)
39 down (downwell?)
40 easily angry (is there a video game adaptation of 12 Angry Men cuz that would be my guess)
53 he has to swim (why? is he drowning? subnautica would make sense but I don't think it's that easy)
54 he is lonely (maybe because he drowned? lol no clue on this one)
80 no crown 2 (kingdom 2 thrones maybe?)
85 play like a crocodile (lil gator game?)
123 try to kill (maybe one of the hitman games?)
127 well my hand is known (some card game maybe? idk but love deckbuilders) -

Oh man, yeah that's a lot of car accidents. Your grumpiness is understandable. And yeah, unfortunately a lot of what you said applies to many other places as well. Hopefully 2026 brings some meaningful changes for the better.
