Start of the Rawring 20s.

Finish writing Cakes and Ale, and try to see if I can become a quadruple agent.

A quadruple agent sounds cool, as long as you're truly on the right side. (Of course, if you originally picked left, you could simply choose to become a quintuple agent instead.) 

Good luck with Cakes and Ale!

Figure out how to use this belt I have.

It would seem I'm not the only one to rise from the dead!

Quiller sucked anyway.

I just went on to make a thread for this lol

You have thwarted my efforts Mizal

My main resolution is to get revenge for this

And get a harem out of spite :)

On a serious note

I think as far as cys is concerned, my plans are to not enter any contests and to work on some of my bigger writing projects in general.

I think I'll relax. ;~)

Well, seems to have worked for you so far

I am indeed hanging in there.

I mean, I'm doing a thing where I use less social media, but that's just because my sister wanted someone to do it with, haha. I guess I'd like to get steady work that's actually in my field or find a way to continue my education that doesn't leave me in crippling debt for the rest of my life:/ I guess that's not really a resolution though, more of a wish with some paperwork involved haha.

I'm all for resolutions! I'm a resolute person, after all. Here's some of my goals for the year:

• Finish one CYS storygame and get feedback from testing. Then, use that feedback to finish up a book. Think of the game as first draft!! ( •'w'•)
• Playtest game demo 1 and release on itch.io
• Finish shitpost and release on itch.io
• Finish chapter 2 of Angel's Smile in ByeByeLand
• Read one book a month
• Practice harmonica more
• Pay college fees on time for once and hopefully the dean won't kill me :)))
• Get therapy
• Kick my roomate's ass
• Open your goddam redbubble
• Finish unity project with previously mentioned roomate and enter it into Seattle Indies Expo \(*v*)/

Seems like a lot, don't it? I'm pretty goal oriented, and I like to aim high, so I always have something to look forward to.

2 and 3 are totally cheating 'cos they're practically finished, and the thumbnails for Angel's Smile 2 are down and ready to ink (I still want to move around some layouts tho). My redbubble designs are ready to upload and also they're no big deal. So yep, I'm definately cheating....

Reading a book month is difficult now that I'm an adult. I used to finish one after the other but now that I finally have more time, I've found that my attention has gone to shit! Reading aloud definately helps my sugar-fried brain process things.

My top priority is SIX. I got in once, but now I wish to do it again on my own merit. I'll consider it my official Dev Debut~

Oh, I want to clean up my skin as well. It's not terrible but it wouldn't hurt to face mask more often.

Sorry for the ramble. I'm just terribly excited for the new decade, I intend to give it my all (yes even on my school payments)

This sounds like a great idea. I'd love to finish writing Recursion Theory. I'm almost done editing chapter three, so hopefully it will get published soon. 

I'll try to finish Halo, or Hell, no! by the end of the year. If I actually sit down for a while every now and then and do a big chunk of writing, I might even be able to get it done before then, but who knows. With all of the major revisions I've done just working on one branch I have no idea how long this will take.

I'll also read and review at least one story per week to be somewhat useful around here.

Oh boy, more commitments. I'll list a few here to see what I can get done:

I want to finish my fantasy epic with a successful "evil" path that is not cringy to read.

I plan to write a sequel to one of my stories that I marked "part of a series." This will probably another Gower game with more branching. I had planned one that was an origins story with crisscrossing storylines. The game will explain how I know about Gower's exploits and how Gower got started as a time traveler. The idea is that we cross paths several times at different points along the branches. Something like River Song and The Doctor, if anything is familiar with Doctor Who. I will need some permission and input from Gower like last time though. If anyone wants to be in the games just let me know, I enjoy having prompts thrown my way for this game.

I will shoot for another two featured reviews because reading games is also important.

Debating a contest goal, but I don't like having a deadline. My goal for this will be to end the year NOT in the pit of shame. I hope to do this with the "Choose your own prompt" contest though.

Since these are my secondary crappy goals, I look forward to discovering my REAL goals next November.

1.  Continue progressing in strength training and fitness.  Was able to build a great base this last year being overseas, but real world takes a lot more of your time and I really don't want to go back to slob mode.  

2. Fight the urge to be on my phone or be entertained at all times.  For real guys, how much time do you spend having to do something whether it is checking a social media account, forum, reddit.  People can't sit and just talk or be fine with doing nothing anymore.

3. Read more on Stoicism and find ways to incorporate it practically in life.  I think it is a lofty challenge to reach the point of not caring what others think and almost impossible.  I've already started on this journey some myself and you begin to realize you really do care what others think. 

My resolution is to finish Chopped.

Write something that gets a 4 0

My resolution is to finish my current story-game, preferably before my birthday-- February 1st. It's been over a year since I started it.

Happy early birthday, Thomas! I'm going to try and take a closer look at your piece once I'm done with chapter three of Recursion Theory. From what I did read so far, it seemed extremely well-written. 

Thanks a bunch, Reader82! I appreciate it. Hope all is well with you.

Not reverting to a lazy piece of shit is top of my priorities. I also wanna set up my finances and investments for my leap into adulthood. Bank Accounts, Investments and Credit Unions ETC. Just a lot of set up as leaping has been postpone because BS, but I'm gonna take the extra time and do it right so I don't end up racking up creditcard debt and student loans over the next 6-8 years and regret it for the rest of my life.

Vanguard Index Fund, sleep on it after you re-invest the returns.

Benchpress 2x body weight.

Deadlift 2x body weight.

Squat 4x body weight.

Curl 1/2 body weight.

Increase body weight.

Whoa, nice goals.  Is this coming from a steady weight lifting lifestyle or are you just starting?  Either or, not knocking it, it can be done.  

Do things on time. 

Damn it

Get out of hell within the next month or so
