Predictions 2017

abraker · ^

Well it's time to see what came true

My rank will drop to 4000 in mania

Almost, but not quite. Didn't really take account pp maps oops

I will get 1750+pp in osu!std

This one is still actually possible, but unlikely. I need more 300pp, so that means shitting out at least one ~100pp play. Hmmm

moddingV2 is launched and issues are quickly found

In amazing turn of events, it was not launched and will not launch in it's current state

The new osu! is aimed to be release on osu!'s 10th anniversary, but doesn't or barely gets done in time

There was no aim to release it on osu!'s 10th anniversary, but it is still not finished

Trump does something that most of America hate him

Quite a safe prediction. He did many things that made most of America hate him

Russia is no longer sanctioned

Seems like Trump can't pull strings as easily as I thought he could.

2016 won't look so bad after 2017

If net neutrality falls, this will be so true

Some serious global event happens and people will talk about it for about a month or more

Too vague of a prediction. I'm dismissing it

some kind of msPaint type of drawing meme

Microsoft announces mspaint will die. I guess that's something

Flexible phones are announced

Mobile design is stagnant. I blame patents

I started going through this in october and never finished so here's how far I got

it's been like 2/3 to 3/4 of the year so why not revisit these

Overwatch will come to follow the F2P model.

nope, it's still expensive and it's still getting new updates for free

Xilinx will sell many glorious 7nm ARM processors and f intel and amd in the a.

I have not heard of xilinx a single time, and it's definitely not the market leader from what I can tell. qualcomm is the one that's been making waves, but.. still plausible, I guess?

trump will be attempted to impeach, I stay neutral on whether it will actually succeed or not
overwatch will stay as a one time purchase because blizzard does not do f2p on games that are selling well
I will get a cute pet that is all mine
tuuba will grow as osu gets fucked further and further
I will get at least 3 holes made into my ears
celebrities will keep dying off at a rapid pace

1) a lot of talk about impeachment but no moves yet. still believe an attempt will happen within the year
2) yes
3) not yet, I am trying to buy a cat's friendship with food though
4) not really tbh, we've been getting smaller if anything :(
5) not yet but in the plan/works. looks like my mother wants to get holes made too
6) it's.. not as bad as last year, I want to say? there hasn't been as much of these 'everyone's favourite actor/musician' deaths, beyond Bennington but that wasn't from natural causes :(

i get c@
politics stay shit
another major right wing victory in politics
sweden sucks

1) I haven't seen any reference to c@
2) I guess you could say yes
3) I don't remember any specific ones that happened specifically this year - Macron v Le Pen went towards the centrists, has there been anything else?
4) debatable

Microsoft will bring out amazing VR products that everyone will be eager to buy.
The concept of the iphone se will be copied by lazy asian designers because people want phones not tablets in their pockets.
USA stocks and economy will rise because T even though he's not a good speecher like O will do a great job and while most know it all Europeans think they know best, European economy will suck more because of infrastructural and issues such as nationalists voted as government who suffer from corruptism.
Japan will build a large army and adults will stop admiring and copying anime and manga and other products made for Japanese children. (The only thing from Japan that people will still adore is their Sakura flowers).
The forum mascot will disapear and make room for a real photograph of a shiny polished tuba.
Asian dashcam videos will be much worse than those from Russia and people will discover the true agressive nature of them.

1) sort.. of? they started the project so I'll count it as them doing it https://techcrunch.com/2017/08/28/micro … mixed-bag/
2) smaller phones are having a bit of a resurgence, apparently some are being shown at IFA presently
3) I think this is far too early to judge that, but in general US economy seems to not do awfully. Europe is doing just as fine though, with the obvious exception of the UK
4) I.. don't think that has happened
5) ipep make it happen for april fools
6) I haven't actually seen a single asian dashcam video

I'm skipping Mara's CS and personals because I'm not familiar with either topic

France will get at least four terrorist attacks.
Germany will get two, and Angela Merkel won't give a fuck about it.
Any of the nordic country will get one.
UK leaves EU or at least shows progress on leaving it.

1) not.. that I know of?
2) I haven't heard of anything but I don't follow osu
3) nothing huge, I think
4) still waiting
5) no idea

6) wrong
7) I tried to count/check but gave up
8) I tried to check but gave up
9) correct, Sweden and Finland
10) I guess there's some progress in that they triggered the article

Most fabs have enough problems with 10nm and 7nm is in experimental/high risk production, so it'd say that isn't happening, especially the Intel getting fucked part, since Intel is one of the only ones who have a running 7nm fab.

If this refers to osu!, moddingV2 was released a couple of months ago and is the default modding/discussion platform for any map submitted since then.
see https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/p/6291683 for details.

Oh shoot I misread that. Thought it was about scoreV2 there (was half asleep on a bus ride when I made that post).

In that case, yes that prediction came true exactly as I predicted it would:
