Stuff you did in 2018 - VinnyVideo - 12-29-2018
What cool stuff did you do in 2018?
Real Life Stuff I Did- Had a bunch of job interviews, with varying results

- Made a trivial amount of progress on Career Fantasy
- Didn't do much art, but I did make a Gengar for MFGG's Secret Santa
- Stayed on board as MFGG admin, QC person, and Wiki Sysop for another year
- Wrote the backend code for a mainsite comments dashboard and promoted two new comment mods, which dramatically improved mainsite moderation
- Helped add a new Hacks section to the MFGG mainsite
- Made some improvements to the MFGG Wiki software so admin approval isn't required to keep spambots out
- Helped make some changes to modernize my other forum
Stuff I Didn't Do- Release any new music

RE: Stuff you did in 2018 - SonicKade2048 - 12-29-2018
I can't remember well enough to go as far back as 2017, even, but I'll try my best to think of what I've done this year.- Improved my art skill in...
- Worked on bettering my attitude towards others (though I haven't been perfect still)
- Decided to feel more open and get weights off my back that have been stressing me out
- Made a bunch of music (namely with BeepBox, but I've also done mashups and etc. in Audacity)
- Attempted to gain weight but not a lot due to my high metabolism (got a few extra pounds, though)
- Bought a bunch of new games and loved them all
- Made a few new games on Roblox
- also helped out my friends on their games
I may add more to this list as time goes on, but for now this is everything I can think of at the moment.

It's a mixed bag. Such is life!- Learned how to map in Hammer (Valve's Source Engine mapping tool) and made maps for Team Fortress 2.
- Stood up for myself against someone I thought wasn't so nice
- Went back to school, and made a friend.
- Got off Crohn's disease medication because apparently, I didn't have the illness. Mood has changed DRAMATICALLY because of the changes!
- Fought off depression, beat it I guess.
- Released a Mario RPG hack, and won a contest on MFGG!
- Went on a vacation trip with the fam to Joshua Tree, CA.
- Read a total of 1 book.
- Met up with a childhood friend to see what they're up to. (Spoiler: They're doing great)
- Connected with another childhood friend via the internet. (Spoiler: They're doing great, too)
- Drank more coffee than I have in the last 10 years combined.
I think I can do more next year, but I'm pretty comfortable with this list. Though, being comfortable isn't always a good thing. I predict next year will be a total transformation on my routine, for better or for worse.
RE: Stuff you did in 2018 - Pea - 12-30-2018
- Went to SGDQ! Was a lot of fun. I know Syax is going to AGDQ real soon, so I can give my seal of approval for the event. Have a good one!
- (SGDQ Still) Met a lot of friends. Made even more of them when I got the world record in the only game that matters in this world: Pringles on Genesis.
- Started University, finally. It's tough, but I think I can manage.
- Got a job that I love (QA Tester). Got my name on some very well received games' credits.
- Built a bunch of computers, and, in the long run, learned so much more about them.
- Built some newfound confidence for my future. What's needed now is the motivation...
- Learned how to DJ. Played live at an anime convention. Was a lot of fun, despite my set being at 4 AM and nobody was on the dance floor. Oh well

RE: Stuff you did in 2018 - fireball3k - 12-30-2018
- made a serious effort to reconnect with family members and friends that i had neglected. to wit, i actually got off my blessed assurance and went to visit my grandmother after not seeing her regularly for a while.
- began working with a few new people who turned out to be some of the best coworkers i've had in a while
- bought myself a pawn shop guitar and practiced some with it
- spent plenty of time with my wonderful niece, a five year old girl named edie. i also spoiled her quite a bit with plenty of presents around christmastime, ones that her poppo (grandfather) and BB (step-grandmother) could enjoy with her like board games and such. edie is, and will always be, my little baby fish.
- got to see my nephew (actually my second cousin) at christmas time, and got to show him a big plushy fish i had. my nephew timmy loves fish, and his father would always talk about how much he did whenever timmy saw his daddy watching fishing shows on TV
- bought more than $200 of fireworks and strung them together to create a show that blew away a bunch of people. you know, something like this.

I'm surprised the battery wasn't completely discharged.

RE: Stuff you did in 2018 - Jeorge535 - 01-03-2019
2018 was a pretty good year for the most part:- Passed my driving test
- Went on holiday to Turkey
- Started my final year of university
- Made new friends at work
- Overcame the worst of depression/anxiety I suffered from
- My 'ex-best friend' left me. I was very upset about that at the time, but I later realised she wasn't a very good friend and I was probably better off without her.
