Hey, all, here's my review for this month. Let me know your thoughts and as always thanks for stopping by!
I like the look of these, my mum is really into crochet. Do any of these books use AI, and is there any way to tell? She's been telling me about impossible AI patterns taking over her hobby, and I don't want to get this for her if that's going to be a big problem. Thanks
Some of you guys might remember this one from the original post months ago, and i would like to reshare it now that i just updated it with new info, layout, and algorithm.
It is a small project that tries to estimate when games might appear on Subscription services. It supports Humble Choice, PlayStation Plus, Gamepass, or the Epic Games Store giveaways.
It's built in Python, with a separate model for each service, trained on about 5,300 past arrivals going back to 2013. The data is current as of 25 September 2026, and the plan is to update it at least quarterly, and more often when I have time. The models look at the publisher's track record on that service, whether the game has been on the service before, Metacritic scores, and release timing.
What you get for each game:
Game info comes from the RAWG.io API, which is crowdsourced and not perfect. If the RAWG search fails, you can enter the game name and publisher yourself.
Again the data is thanks to u/appsolutelywonderful, u/i-pax, u/ABattleVet, PCGamer
(link to appsolutelywonderful's original thread here for the humble bundle data), and evenwebb's Epic Free Games Scraper on GitHub.
It's not meant to be taken as fact, just a fun data-driven experiment. The best guess lands within a year of the real date about 3 to 6 times in 10, depending on the service, so treat it as a rough "when", not a specific date.
The backend runs on a free tier that sleeps after 15 minutes of inactivity. Games already in the site's data answer instantly, but for anything else the first search after a quiet spell can take up to a minute while it wakes up. The site starts waking it as soon as you open the page, and it's quick after that. Thanks for your patience!
If anyone’s curious or wants to check it out, here is the link: https://epic-gamepass-when.vercel.app/
If you run into a bug, have a suggestion, or get a funny prediction (like a game predicted to arrive unrealistically soon lol), let me know in the comments!
Got this email , I had an existing membership and still got this email. Posted here because I saw a post where people were cancelling the sub to get this coupon, now yih can just get the choice without breaking your humble store discount streak

Looks like the $8 coupon might’ve been extended too?
Humble really needs to get their act together. What is even going on over there?
I've noticed at least two bundles that seem to have completely disappeared from the main bundle page for me.
https://www.humblebundle.com/games
As far as I can tell, the only way to access them is if you already have the direct link to their individual pages:
Indies in Space Bundle - https://www.humblebundle.com/games/indies-in-space
Assemble Entertainment: Cozy Games Collection Bundle - https://www.humblebundle.com/games/assemble-entertainment-cozy-games-collection
I have no idea if there are any others, but honestly, it wouldn't surprise me. It feels like the quality control has gotten much worse at the same time as the number of bundles has dramatically increased.
What's especially weird is that both of these bundles still have 5 days left. The Cozy Games Collection Bundle even recently added another game that wasn't part of the original lineup: Kioku: Last Summer.
I've also seen at least one recent bundle, the Crawling Through Dungeons Bundle, remove a game while keeping the bundle price exactly the same.
I just don't understand how Humble doesn't have a better system for handling this stuff. Fanatical, for example, clearly shows when a game is running low on stock and lets you know when something is out of stock. Digiphile also guarantees that they won't oversell their bundles. So clearly, this isn't some impossible problem to solve.
Sorry for the rant. I seriously doubt anyone from IGN/Humble is even looking at this subreddit, but it feels like things have somehow been getting worse over the last few weeks/months. At this point, I just want to know what is going on with their system.
