I’ve been a Kagi user since launch, and it has completely replaced everything for me except image searches. It’s the best $10 I spend each month.

The AR stuff is what I've wanted since the first Oculus dropped -- being able to remove all the obvious parts of technology from my physical spaces (the multiple monitors, the computer tower, all the cables and whatnot) in favor of a thing I put on my head and do real work? Yes please. Fuck gaming -- I want my life back, and to have work shoved off into a weird phantom realm where I don't have to think about or look at it when I'm off the clock.

Great list. I would also say most RPGs, if they're any good, will give you the choice -- Mass Effect, Skyrim, Pillars of Eternity, the Divinity games, etc.

Lots of adventure games as well -- The Longest Journey/Dreamfall games, Life is Strange, Whispers of a Machine, etc.

Honestly, the number of games where you're trapped playing a lantern-jawed, grunty doofus is way, way less overwhelming than it used to be, which I really appreciate.

I'm increasingly convinced that the pop music of the future will consist entirely of mediocre or terrible songs written by real people -- that the flaws and fuck-ups of lousy artists will suddenly seem like magic when compared to an endless stream of algorithmically generated, pristine computer bullshit.
