    Meh I already still don’t care about worrying about any of that.

          I will assume you want to be buried in it? I’ll get the shovel.

          I think most of my screens are beyond 1080p, but I still use 1080p for everything, streaming, gaming… I can easily tell between 60fps and 120fps, but I can’t tell the difference between 4k and 1080p when I am on the couch

    Finish the Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign that I’ve been running for my friends but had to put on a 6 month hiatus as I’m still getting over a break up.

    Last year’s resolution was to run 10 sessions of DnD and I at least doubled it.

    If somebody pisses me off or upsets me, I need to stop brooding about it like a little bitch and call them out directly.

    Over the last few years I’ve learned that I avoid confrontation to a fault.

    Bonus: how did this past year’s go?

    Shit.

    This time last year I was meant to be moving into my own apartment, then I was laid off, my mortgage offer expired and I had to pull out of the purchase. I now work in a shitty purchase ledger job as a temp, where my office is 50 miles away. The pay sucks and I question why I’m torturing myself working in this role just for some recruiter to earn commission from my misery.

    Halfway through the year I had a (kinda close) friend disappear for roughly two months after a rough breakup. I met up with her at a karaoke eve when she reached out because I was worried about her wellbeing. She came on to me pretty hard, we kissed at least a dozen times, dirty danced a few times and made out once, but then she apologized and friendzoned me via text after I got home. And to make it clear, she was the one initiating all this.

    My love life wasn’t all bad though. I did date someone at the beginning of the year and while that relationship didn’t last, the breakup was amicable and we’re still really close friends.

    Still not sure what I’ll do NYE tomorrow…

    New years’ resolutions don’t really work for 2 reasons:

    • You’re in survival mode so a year-long project is impossible to keep up, you’re living from one day to the next or paycheque-to-paycheque.

    Or,

    • You’re doing well enough to think of long time horizons. Likely then you have many medium- to long-term goals on the go, and you don’t have to start them in the new year.

    I find myself luckily in the latter case. I’ll take the new year as a chance to evaluate where I am with my goals and adjust priorities, if needed.

    Publish my novel and get back to studying Japanese. 私は少し日本語が話せます but I’d like to learn more. I don’t even know if I said that right. But by the end of the year I’d like to be fluent enough to have a conversation.

    I don’t make resolutions because when I did, I never managed to keep them.

    That said, I do have an unwritten list of things I’d like to do in the new year. Like may be lose a little weight. And I really need to go for my eyes testing.

    And then there’s the whole philosophy of “why next year? why not now?” and “tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life”.

    For the eye test, I’ve no good excuse, but I don’t want to walk to the place and find they’re closed for the holidays. For the weight, I’d have to throw out a lot of food first. Not the greatest excuse there either, but waste not, want not.

    (Can you see why I never managed to keep them previously? Yeeeah.)

    Get back to my pre-COVID weight. Thankfully I just moved to a new place with a gym literally across the street.

      More so than a gym, weight loss happens in the kitchen. Smaller portion sizes and healthier options. A calories deficit is the only way to lose weight. And don’t think of it as a “diet”… It’s a lifestyle change.

      Forty pounds and counting. Good luck!

        Yea I know. I went from >400lbs to 195; but then COVID. I swear to god I can do week long fasts and barely lose weight, I really need some kind of sustained cardio exercise on a regular basis. Just give me an elliptical and some time.

    This coming year I have so many! In the last few years I lost my parents and pets, last one was my loyal dog.

    • To be reunited with my wife, this stupid visa system has kept us apart 8 months and counting.

    • To start living together and rearrange the house to our liking and needs.

    • To give home to another dog, it’s what him would like.

    • Keep exercising and building the home gym, involve the wife in such tasks.

    • Be more involved at work. I like what I do but these years have taken a toll on me. I try but apathy it’s there.

    • Help the wife adapt to a new country and culture.

    • House reparations.

    • Small wedding celebration here (we married in her country)

    • Planning honeymoon

    • I want to be a better Christian sometimes I have strong feeling about topics I care about and I come out as very aggressive so I want to avoid that.

    • Keep enlightening people about anarchism and to fight, in whatever way possible, against the bully system of States.

    Not on my hands:

    • In the last 7 years I have lost someone every year, family, friends, pets, parents. I want 2026 to be the year of gains and not loses.
