Stuff you did in 2025

[VinnyVideo]

I'm contractually obligated to make one of these every year.

Real Life Stuff I Did

• Stayed in my current job and survived more layoffs (ugh again)
  
• Worked on really big and really annoying work projects
  
• Attempted to learn how to play tennis (the real-life kind, not just the Mario kind)
  
• Spent a lot of time with a lovely and complicated young lady
  
• Tried to be consistent and intentional about investing
  

MFGG/Creative Stuff I Did

• Upgraded the MFGG mainsite, forums, and Wiki from PHP 5.6 to 8.2
  
• Worked with @Sean to give the MFGG mainsite a responsive design and greatly-improved performance
  
• Checked every page on the MFGG mainsite and fixed any accessibility issues I found
  
• Finally bought a domain name
  
• Resurrected my old forum
  
• Contributed to JaxBoards - the software my forum runs on - getting it working in PHP 8.3, fixing some accessibility defects, and making other improvements
  
• Made a College Football Bowl Game Generator
  
• Uploaded a grand total of one YouTube video (applying a Chrono Trigger soundfont to a Bonnie Tyler song!)
  
• Updated a bunch of my old GameFAQs guides
  

Stuff I Didn't Do

• Didn't do drugs
  
• Didn't catch tuberculosis
  
• Didn't poach any endangered species
  
• Didn't meet any new fashion models/beauty contest winners like I used to
  

2025 was kind of tough... I hope 2026 will go back to the usual Hard Mode instead of Lunatic+ difficulty.

For me, 2025 went by very quickly. Goodbye 2025!

new in the web, but not in the Mario fan´s universe

[DJ Coco]

• Vacationed in the Netherlands with my bros. Saw Babymetal live.
  
• Functionally finished Cliax Codec programming and design-wise. Only thing left to do is now polish/testing and implementing any missing assets.
  
• Started work on an escape-room style game played in a virtual OS (set in the same universe as Cliax Codec).
  
• Got a Switch 2 and played Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds and Metroid Prime 4.
  

Overall, a good year. I got done what I wanted to get done, even if I didn't release anything.
Hoping 2026 will change that!

Real life stuff:
Flew to California for a weekend
Went to a little theme park in Oregon for a weekend
Got a job at Subway (I lit some eggs on fire)
Found some guys in their 40s to meet up with once a week and we talk about life and religion faith and whatnot

Online/creative stuff:
Started making a little website

Stuff I didn't do:
There's a few projects that I abandoned
My social situation has gone downhill somewhat

I'm a forum guy living in a Discord world

[DJ Yoshiman]

Helped Luke release Psycutlery onto Steam, and witness more of my music get shown in the Telegeddon demo that arrived at SAGE this year.

Hello everybody!

Last year I've:
- Joined this cool Forum
- Finished an old project of mine 

- Expanded my business
- Got back to forums and hosting in general!!

I'd say 2025 was a great upgrade from 2024, but my hope for 2026 is for this momentum to only get better!

[A weird slug thing]

I don't want to be a negative nancy and say "this 2025 year sucked" or other bad things no one wants to hear (or see).

So I'll just stick to positives.

Real life stuff:
(not gonna reveal too much because i like me privacy)

• Binged watched a ton of great cartoons with my brother, rewatches of old ones we watched decades ago (such as Danny Phantom), and ones we haven't seen before (such as The Mighty Ones, Kim Possible, and Jellystone). My favourite show I watched this year was definitely Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight. 
  

Creative stuff:

• Made my first CGI character model for a series that probably was too unrealistically ambitious looking back on it.
  
• Some sketches and art, usually for character design practicing.
  
• And also started writing several things. Including a script for a potential future YouTube video where I do a retrospective on an obscure medias (no it is not one of those sloppy lore analysis vidyas that don't do justice...)
  

But I will be cutting down my creative hobbyist works in order to make room for more professional or purposeful endeavours.

Like the rest of you, I hope this year is much better than the last one for not only me but for the rest of you and the whole world.

Take care!

Hullo there, I am Great Destination Tracks 3, but you can call me JC The Slug. I am a Slug.
