Hobby-related Resolutions/Goals for the coming year... ?
-
Just what it says on the tin, really. In constructive not so much because there isn't a lot of cussin' to be had around this topic, probably, but because not everybody reads the pit and the more constructively-minded folks who might not be opted-in there seem most likely to be the folks who would have something in mind here.
Mine:
-
Really, I will try to stick with a character somewhere for more than two months. Really.
-
Don't flake on the current project until at least the next vacation is over (late October). (Yes, there is one that's mine and not the thing I'm helping a friend with; no, it's not the pirate thing; no, I'm not posting it or even discussing it yet. )
-
Get better at code, both wiki and MUX.
-
Get up the nerve to ask for help about both of the above instead of being a skittish mouse about it 95% of the time.
-
Write down a list of the various things (concepts, code, etc.) I've either seen or heard about that I think are awesome; ask their creators if I may also use them; implement whatever gets a 'yes' with credit and thanks, and refrain from being a whiny brat about any 'no's after respecting said yes/no respectively.
-
Be more mindful of thanking people who make things awesome in pretendy fun land even when it seems like the world is dead set on sucking like a shopvac on steroids otherwise; find a way to do this without sounding like a crazy person.

Right now, I'm working more on RL resolutions. I would like to get back into fitness stuff, but I think I need a trainer, so my game stuff is on hold until I get RL to cooperate.
But I would love to find a reliable block of time to unfreeze at least one of my characters.
-
Shit or get off the pot.
-
Get back to chugging along on TDM after the holidays. I was eaten by babysitting (not doing that anymore - lil brats wouldn't stop biting my kid >.<), getting sick, vending and the like. Post-holidays my schedule is considerably freed up to get back to world building :3
I'd like to learn more MUX code, but I'm afraid wiki is beyond me.

I don't like kids. You handled this better than I would have.
I would have called animal control.
Hopefully they had all their shots.
-
I'd like to learn Python and Ruby, so I could take a look at Evennia and Ares, I am wanting to do something with a bit more automated combat wise and my own system but I really, really, /REALLY/ don't want to use MUCK or MOO.
-
Play again.
-
Getting out of this job.
-
Learn django and improve my Python skills so I can do more amazing things with Evennia.
Stop procrastinating and attempt to open a game of some kind.

You work for Blizzard. That's the dream!

@arkandel It's in Irvine, that's the nightmare.

So what you're saying is you need to be transferred to the Austin office.

Both of those sound awful.
I hear Austin is nice though.
-
My new year's resolution is to have more fun and be less stressed by game stuff.
It will last ... idk. Probably until the next time something annoys me.
-
My resolution is to give even less of a fuck next year than I did this year.

Is it possible to give negative fucks? How does this math work?
-
@lotherio I presently give few fucks. The ultimate goal is no fucks. One can't give negative fucks as that's just giving a fuck in the other direction - love and hate being two sides of the same coin and so forth.
-
I resolve to get @Tinuviel to love me.
-
What I wanna resolve to do is poke my head into more gaming stuff IRL. There are a handful of places where I live that do board game nights that I'd like to try.
