Usually people give themselves resolutions for the next year, but never look back on what they actually accomplished in the year that ended.
What I accomplished :
- Made my first good midi (not that other piano wank I did prior, lol) - Finished the army - Found a decent job and got my first proper paycheck - Led a successful DBP27 - Contributed to every DBP of the year (except for DBP20, but I playtested it at least) - Made dozens of maps - Was told by various people that my mapping has improved - Got unbanned from DoomWorld for a month by Essel - Learned my first song on guitar - Beaten the entirety of Hell Revealed II without cheating or saving and using PRBoom+ (MAP28 can go fuck itself though) - Made my first semi-professionally edited Doom video

Legitimately nothing
Went urban exploring a few times, lost my PASSPORT once during that lol, anyway I hope I'll be doing that more Started BALDING at the advanced age of 19, now I wear a bandana and honestly it looks dope on me Bought a new laptop with my own money, half of it was legit paid with my actual blood (plasma) lol Worked a little in the first half of the year, it was dope and I was paid a shitload for what I was actually doing Kinda less anxious but also not Ummmmm made like 10 top tier quality shitposts on doomer boards????????
Still didn't get my driver's licence Still haven't made a new proper doom map, that makes 3 years lol Still haven't started going to the gym Doesn't need saying but still haven't gotten a gf I don't think I even went drinking properly once lol Had like ten proper 5+ min conversations Still a terrible procrastinator, lowkey starting to wonder if I actually might have adhd Became a lot more fucking jaded for whatever reason Probably a lot more negative stuff
Overall a shit year and may it never repeat

It's good to revisit accomplishments. I often minimize what I do and forget that it happened at all. I'll have to think about this some more but the biggest one was that I I think I saved a friends life.
He was living on the streets during the prime of the coronavirus pandemic until I moved him in to my house for about half the year. He's been on and off drugs since his late teens. He's now working and living on his own and he's been clean ever since. I'm going over to his place to hang out and play arcade games this weekend.

- Made good progress in my career, I can now consider myself a legit working member of society rather than some outlaw freelancer scrambling for pennies, which really boosted my confidence. - Learned a lot about fashion and skincare, so looking in the mirror is not a horrifying experience anymore, I'm starting to accept my body. - As a result of the above, I'm also becoming kinder, less socially anxious and judgmental, more chill and understanding, etc. - Generally I feel more at peace with myself now, like I am me and not an outside observer watching another person living their life, if that makes any sense. - !!!CONTRIBUTED TO A DBP!!!
I might even go as far as to call this year the most important in my life so far. Lots of striking changes have occurred and the quarantine provided a wonderful opportunity for self-analysis and contemplation. I'm grateful for it.

Finally started my life, in a well-paid career I really enjoy, as my first job. I had been studying on my own for 3 years to get to this point and I still have a lot to learn but for me it is a great accomplishment, especially after a long list of personal failures.
Contributed to a lot of excellent DBPs (I consider 19 to be part of this year) and made my mapping faster. My only regret is not being able to participate in 26. I will definitely make more maps.
I know 2020 has been harsh for many people, especially those who own small businesses but overall, 2020 has been really good to me. It's the year my life started to turn around. I've been fortunate to have had my family spared of COVID, at least so far. We're getting vaccines too in a month or two.
Here's to 2021, and the civilized world defeating the Chinese virus! I wish you all health and happiness.

I got married, and my wife is 5 months pregnant. So you're either completely insane or a hearltess evil bastard. Which one? Hope you plan to teach the little worm mandarin.

Justince, wait what? He meant he has done it this year (read the thread title), so he married a few months ago and his wife could get pregnant after that. Actually he mentioned being married before on this forum, it wasn't December. His post from August 2020: Now in my mid-30s, I am married, I live in a nice place, and have plans to buy a really nice house this year. I am financially secure, and I am planning on having a child soon. Or was this some kind of inside joke I didn't get? Could have read "completely insane" with humor but not the "heartless evil bastard" part.

I managed better grades in my tests because of how easy it was to cheat this year, nothing much tbh, just like any other year.

I got married, and my wife is 5 months pregnant. What a coincidence, me too, and my is 5 months pregnant to date! Congrats And thank you to the others. I want to eventually have another child as well. Two children would be ideal, but if me and my wife were younger, I would try for three. Maybe I'll get lucky and have twins. I also want to buy a house. We could right now, but the housing market is fucking crazy right now. Houses are being sold for over 200k above assessment because of low interest rates on mortgages. Plus you have to pay a premium because of bidding wars. I have gone to a lot of open houses, and I see it is a lot of wealthy Asians. I think it is Chinese nationals that would rather put their money in a property than have to pay taxes to the communist government in China. I would do the same thing in that position, that's smart. I think a similar phenomenon happened in Vancouver, but the Canadians passed legislation to stop it. Anyway, once mortgage rates go up again, things will go back to normal. I think there will be a wave of foreclosures too. Right now, we are fine renting for now. I like where I live.

Not much.. - Worked on my usual coding projects, a bit of 3DO, OptiDoom, then tiny demoscene stuff. But not as much as I wished. - I was still fighting during the pandemic to start a diet for the nth time. Only near the end of the year I realized the secret is to just eat less LOL no,. but I did something that worked for the first time, however it involved someone else preparing your meals, and stick to it. I was always 40 kgs more than my normal weight,. and for 9 years I was doing the same, losing/gaining +/-3. Now I am in -12 and going (so I think it's a miracle, as the previous situation was always selfulfilling prophecy), so I must be doing something right (but it involved someone else preparing meals for you, and only stick to that). - I think 2021 will be even better, I am already better with my weight and also for some reason more creative recently (coding retro Archimedes, DOS, CPC, GBA, 3DO OptiDoom, started working on one or two maps, more to come). It could be that less weight and feeling better and general improved mood helps.
