Weeknotes #80 (May 16, 2026)
Posted on:
Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.
Things I consumed
- Forza Horizon 6 came out this past friday for people who bought the $120 premium edition, while it comes out for everyone else this coming Tuesday. Similar to previous entries in the Horizon franchise, but this time with a Japanese setting. What's impressive is over 170,000 people were playing it on Friday on Steam, which note is a higher amount of players than Forza Horizon 5 ever got on Steam.
- Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe is the 2nd movie in the Gundam Hathaway trilogy. I'll be seeing it in a few hours from now but have heard good things so far.
- Anthropic has updated their policy on using a Claude Subscription. At its core, if you are using Claude outside of their UIs or CLIs, you will have to pay API pricing compared to the widely subsized prices the subscription gave you, but to offset this, they will provide equal amount of credits to your sub price to spend in these ways, which brings it in line with similar pricing structure to tools like OpenCode, Cursor, and the new pricing model for GitHub Copilot. I personally cancelled my sub to Claude about a month ago as I've been using OpenAI's Codex app more and didn't want to really pay for both, but these changes have not gotten a lot of positive response from developers at large.
