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.
