This is the biggest "hell no" thing I'll probably see this week.

I bought it recently but haven't started yet. I should do that soon, huh!
I'm still not sure what to do with my own code.
I placed my public projects on GitHub to have a visible online front and invite people to submit patches. I haven't had any issues with GitHub so far. I considered Microsoft to be a good steward... until recently, since articles like this keep popping up.
I also already have a self-hosted repository for my private projects. It would be simple enough for me to move everything there, but then I basically lose any chance of other people contributing and that online resume I built up over time.
I remember getting the 3DS on launch day. It was considered expensive at the time, people complained, sales were sluggish, it got a price cut within six months, and I was given various digital goodies to make up for it.
Now, people buying the console more than a year after launch are getting a price increase instead. What an insane time to live in.
I think it looks fantastic, and it's releasing so soon too. Looking forward to playing this one!
I think this is the third price increase on Xbox since the start of 2025...? Insane. Absolutely insane.
