Is painting the minis really that difficult?   

Time consuming, yes, but difficult??

[Sebastian2203]

-Make more money than in 2017 (more than 1100 euros if your dumb head forgot) I am glad, yes.
-Continue with your workout routine and never skip for more than a week. Woops.
-Finally do some out-of-country bike tour, preferably to Vienna because that seems optimal. I only went to Hungary.. that counts?
-Release that game you have been scripting for so long. Welp, almost, got bored.

This is for people who made resolutions at the start of 2018 to see if they managed to do those things. I imagine a 2019 will pop up later this month.

Will make one after Christmas, usually it stays till New Year when Toady's asked to hide it.

Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Nope, have started on learning Spanish though and am probably enjoying it more than I did German.

How is violin going? Can you play Kakalin yet? Ok, also no.

Still dealing with people okay? Better I suppose?

You still in contact with that friend? You know, your favorite one. In theory, but we haven't talked in a while,

How was Kingdom Come: Deliverance? Good, but with a ton of flaws. Probably about what you expected though.

How was Mount & Blade Bannerlord if it came out? Hah, hah, hah hahahahahahahaha, no. Who knows if it ever will.

What classic(s) did you read? Anna Karenina only really. Made more progress one Story of the Stone but I really doubt I'll be done by the end of the year.

Where did you travel? Nowhere.

For those who are not me, don't worry, the moment of you reading this shall also fade into time. It's not me exclusive. Cool.

Ov ov ov ov over here! I... uhh... sure? Why not. I'm sure you're referencing something but I don't remember what.

Is painting the minis really that difficult?

Difficult is a weird one. It requires a lot of concentration and stillness, so you get very stiff very quickly. But mostly I’d just forgotten it was my resolution. Got quite a few models done though. No greys, no blacks. Just some unfinished dudes. Definitely not tabletop quality.

So. Me. How’s karate going? That program ever end up getting set up, and if so, how’s that going?

School’s a thing. Proceeding amicably, presumably? Hopefully? Eh?

Yer still talking with your friends hopefully? Be a shame if you lost those particular connections. You know the ones.

Oh, and From a Dead World and Respect Your Elders better be going strong still, I swear to our overself.

Any other significant developments in your/our life? Hopefully positive ones.

Oh, and did you ever figure out if the mental influence noted in the closing period of 2017 was caused by outside interference? Or rather, directly by outside interference. It’d confirm some of our worse case scenarios if it turns out to be so.

It's going well. Program never really happened, but that ain't entirely a bad thing. Making progress in how confident I am in training and teaching, as always.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

No, past self, I don't know the ones anymore. Judging by what you were probably thinking of at the time, I haven't lost contact with anyone - haven't really interacted in person with any of them for a while, but I still talk to them. So that's a plus.

They are! ...I don't know which Respect Your Elders you mean though. First or second? Either way, still writing for them, which is one of the better parts of my life currently.

...probably? I started doing judo. Got more general mental stability.

Nope, that was entirely internally induced. Managed to figure out how, and actually got it to subside after only 3 months - not bad by previous standards, and it only came to the point of moderately potent suicidal thoughts. We've avoided further recurrences thus far.

Good meme. I mean that they’re unfinished, not that I suck.

Well, wierd asked if it was really all that difficult... I showed that it could be. If it weren't, that probably wouldn't happen.

Did you run that game like you said you would?

You better not have bailed on it like the last one. Run a proper game for fuck's sake. It's still going after several months, so I'm calling this a win.

Also, paint! You've got a ton of minis coming later this year, so get some practice in while you can. You've got paint, you've got brushes, and you have a good number of minis to work with. I think I painted like...three minis. And bought more. Fail.

Hopefully you're still working. Keep on trucking, dude. It'd be nice if you found a girlfriend sometime in 2018, but let's not ask for too much, shall we? Working, yes. No girlfriend or even prospects for such. Counting this as half a win.

AND YOU! Yes, you, the non-Sirus person! Quit reading my resolutions! >:p It's okay, they can be read now.

A couple of final notes: you better have Rise of the Chaos wizards (a physical copy, dammit) by this time next year. And take it easy on the damn Kickstarters! I looked! Short of going through Amazon or eBay, physical copies seem to be very hard to find. Especially the neat collector sets. On the bright side, I don't think I backed a single Kickstarter (or any other) project. So, another half-win.

2/4. Oof, I didn't do so well.

"Did you stop being a lazy piece of shit?"

"Did you go on a diet and succeeded this time?"

"Have you completed your enormous gaming backlog?"

"Have you found yourself some job?"

"Have you ran some RTDs this year?"

"HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING GOOD IN TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHTEEN?!"

"I'm trying hard, but I guess my attention deficit just make me function very poorly!"

"Well, I did drop some weight by limiting myself to 1000-1500 kilocalories a day, but I'm a bit on hold right now. Once the New Year begins, gotta resume my weekly fasting day program. Also, gotta go to gym once the fucking slippery ice melts."

"The backlog got bloated with all free games and purchases me and my mom made this year, but I'm making progress!"

"Well, there was a job opportunity as an advertisement courier, specially for mentally invalid people, but someone snatched it already."

"HELL FUCKING YEAH! In fact, I'm running an RTD and a Suggestion Game right now!"

"Well, I didn't get a job, degree, money, or anything like that, but I delved deeper into metal, played some good-ass games, und etwas Deutsche Sprache gelernt. Meinstein Grundlagen."

Now that you know what causes you to fail at Nanowrimo... have you actually won this time?

And if you have won, have you self-published and earned money from it?

How's full-time college coming along?

Are taxes an issue?

Has your drawing level reached the point where you're taking commissions?

Please don't tell me you stopped working on drawing.

Have you coded a roguelike yet?

Created electronic music yet?

Completed a non-mafia forum game yet?

Published a work of Worm fanfiction yet?

Have you made any tangible progress at getting better at sewing?

Have you grown in maturity and/or height?

Have you fought for your beliefs?

Describe yourself in one sentence.

Has the dog stopped being paranoid?

Nope.

Nope.

Much worse than I hoped, but I'm adapting.

Not yet... but they probably will be.

Heck no.

Ah... um... sorry, past me.

Nope.

Nope.

Nope. And barely even that.

Technically yes? If short snippets count?

Haven't at all.

Both.

Yeah, actually. If only online.

Hm. Scatterbrained furry who kinda sucks at actually getting anything done.

Probably never will.
