…and why haven’t you run it yet? :D

Shadowrun.
Even before scheduling conflicts halted our D&D sessions, none of my friends wanted to play Shadowrun even though I am down to DM. We all played once, and while I fucking loved it and crave to play again, apparently nobody else did.
I have had problems with players saying that they were down for it, and they understand that they need to learn the rules, but then they play a technomancer and not really know what a sprite or the matrix is.
I liked the game, but I hated the broken promises.
I do think the rules are harder to understand because the books are just awful in the layout and presentation. I had to use exterior resources to understand character creation, magic and the “wireless world” stuff for 4e, and found that the previous version actually was simpler to understand (and I just find the need to physically jack in more fun than Watch_Dogging that shit).
The wrath of the white witch…
I am almost done with college forever (probably hopefully).
Electric Bastionland has been the RPG I most want to run ever since I bought it years ago.
After watching a surreal Acid Western (which started out deceptively straightforward and veered endearingly off the rails by the final act), I’m itching to run In The Light of the Setting Sun: Bonanza Edition. But I’m at the end of my current FIST: Ultra Edition campaign and don’t want to rush anything. :D
What was the film? Enquiring minds want to know.
It’s called Walker (1987). Directed by Alex Cox (Repo Man) and starring Ed Harris. Not currently streaming anywhere I know of, but if you can find it on DVD or something I highly recommend it. The less you know going in the better. :)
I’d love a go at Crown and Skull by Runehammer. It looks really interesting. I’d like to play it before I run it and, frankly, just don’t have the time.
I was looking through the SRD of 13th age and found it intriguing. Later on I went to the new second edition Kickstarter. It doesn’t have a playable preview, but in the one they have is very interesting the sort of changes they are highlighting,

cringecreative enough to do a fully nonviolent gameAny gumshoe game, probably something shorter than Nights Black Agents: The Dracula Dossier. If I set it in my own setting, I’d like to use Bubblegumshoe to do my own telling of “Tomorrow When the War Began” basically what happens if on the summer camping trip after your last school year, your country is invaded. I can’t quite tell how good Gumshoe is for homebrew settings however.
My other want is to run a worldbuilding game such as the quiet year, for the queen or microscope, hacked to set up a concise and thematic noir mystery inspired by fiction like Disco Elysium, The City and the City or The Nice Guys, with a rich and vibrant world that the players are invested in as they built it. I’m tempted to hack the bladerunner RPG by Freeleague for the actual police procedural afterwards.

That sounds amazing. I love the thought of a Nice Guys-inspired campaign setting.
Seconded! OP, in a similar vein as the world building games you already mentioned, you might find Intrepid interesting. I could see it being used to do world building + history of some of the major players and nations therein.
I could also imagine the relationship map it uses being hacked a bit to allow for some Disco Elysium style personality skills / thought cabinet shenanigans if you were interested in leaning into that in particular.
