Got my hair cut this year. It was growing for years, and shocked everyone around me that I cut it. I’m going to save so much money on shampoo

Managed to get to the stage with my job, where I just kinda resent having to go to work because I’d rather be doing other things, as opposed to deeply hating it because I’m freaking out constantly. This is a big step for me, I had to leave my last career after crashing and burning, due undiagnosed ADHD. Had a couple of years off getting myself sorted out and correctly medicated, and started back in a new role, but with a genuine question about whether I could have a professional career again. The first couple of years were really hard, just so stressful and I needed to see a therapist at points to keep going. But I did, and now in my 3rd year I’ve hit a very manageable level of stress that seems normal and bearable. Interestingly, this isn’t because I finally started being organised and stopped leaving things to the last minute. Nope, I just embraced my terrible work habits, stopped beating myself up about them, and changed my expectations for work so that paperwork was minimized and doing all my prep at the last minute was fine. Much less mentally horrific for me and, despite ‘lowering my standards’ the quality of my work probably increased, because I was doing what I could actually achieve not pushing to do something amazing that never materialised.

Won’t necessarily go over well on Lemmy but still want to brag a bit. My company got bought by salesforce, life changing for my kids’ kids (let alone me and my wife). Had a meeting this week with Marx Benioff and he said “I dont care about that i want to hear that v_krishna thinks” and then spent 15 minutes on the spot answering his questions.

Wish I had the exact number (my brain likes to count everything), but I’ve done like 100 flip turns at the pool this year. Back in high school I’d do over 100 a day. I’ve been telling myself for a decade “this is the year I’ll do flip turns every lap by x-date”, of course I set off this year with the same lie. And of course I’m not doing them on every lap, but at one point I did my first in over 20 years, and then I did a couple in a row, and then I realized how much less time I have to focus on such a trivial thing, but it was the act of exercising itself that I was benefiting from, not perfectly recreating who I was half a lifetime ago. I’ve kept going to the pool this year, and I’ve improved myself by doing that, I’m not going to be as fast or skilled or fluid as I used to be, I’m probably never going to flip turn every turn again, but I’m not going to get discouraged by not meeting my own goals that I’d set while looking in a rose tinted mirror. Could also phrase it as “swam over 100 km listening to the same 4"the dollop”, “god awful movies” “citation needed” and “no such thing as a fish” episodes on repeat (because I kept forgetting to bring my swim headphones and their transfer cable to the same place at the same time)

Bought an apartment with a mortgage with support of the state (they paid the half of a price) for my family. Not the greatest, but the cheapest out there, so there’s many caveats, but we’re finally home 🏠

Rescued a whimpering puppy from a metre depth, straight down in a narrow drainpipe. When we got the callout for an animal rescue, I had forgot that the cat-in-a-tree type incidents are stereotypical for firefighters. Was a unique achievement for me.

Couple years ago, I finally got off my ass & started making time to actually fix the stuff I said I would fix. It’s been transformational. This year, I made time for the ‘good’ car. I replaced the transmission along with a lot of other little bits that had been bothering me. Took close to 5 months in total, but I’m at the point now where both the good car & the beater truck are both reliable runners. It’s a good feeling.

I am on a 6834 game win streak in spider solitaire. This wasn’t all this year, but this is where I am now. Out of 9215 games I’ve lost 3 times, twice at the beginning when I didn’t realize you could undo the whole game and start again, and one when my phone glitched. It’s a small easily achievable goal when my life/brain is too much. I don’t think I’ll make 10k games before new years, but that’s ok. Shout out to Digital Smoke for making a solitaire app that doesn’t track you.

Managed to make two cats tolerate each other - one is keen on chasing, one is shy and coward. They are bad at signalling play - so sometimes they go too rough, but now they coexist mostly in peace.

After many years of trying and failing, I finally convinced my friends to try a TTRPG (Dungeons & Dragons). This is my first time ever playing a TTRPG as it is for most of my friends. We are having an absolute blast. The general consensus is that we should have started doing this years (which I always pipe in with a “yeah, that’s why I first brought it up like 5 years ago”)

Reading this title, I was like as the doomer guy myself, “hah nothing achieved this year” and it thrn clicked in my head that I was actually going some pushups and squats in my home on consistent basis. I am very lean guy with my weight usually hanging around the underweight to healthy weight but I’ve started to develop some belly which is very noticeably to the people around me. So I decided to do some very basic body weight exercises -pushups and squats. I started with not being able to do 2-3 pushups a day to current personal best of 12 pushups in one go! I have visible enough biceps and triceps now too :P (highlighted as a tldr answer) I still haven’t figured out the right way to go about my calisthenics journey with proper plans and programs, it feels kinda tough to find proper resources for a complete beginner, so if you know a really good resource do share it with me! I’d would’ve have a calisthenics focused community on lemmy too.

I finally finished my unhinged marathon of the entire Yakuza franchise that started when Infinite Wealth launched. At the time I’d played all the games up to that point but never really went for 100%, but that game’s platinum was so easy and the nostalgia bait in the second half of the game both made me want to replay all the games and go through spinoffs that I hadn’t played yet. Right after IW I went back through the mainline starting from 0 (followed by the Kiwami remakes rather than the originals, but we’ll get there). Burnt out on 5 which I’d argue is the actual most tedious plat in the series, but got back to it a few months later, then breezed through the rest just in time for Pirates (which was certainly a game of all time…). With the mainline out of the way, I replayed Judgment and LJ, finally played through Kaito Files for the first time, and then started working through spinoffs. I also got through the original PS2 games twice each - once in English emulated just to experience them, then again on the Japanese HD port on the PS3 for the trophy list. I still have nightmares of the 20 Home Run thing for Y1. Dead Souls was actually fun, Kurohyou 1 and 2 were fantastic games but incredibly grindy (and buggy) for 100%. Ishin’s plat wasn’t actually nearly as bad as people say. Through in Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise for good measure. Finally, got through Kenzan for the first time and its completion list with the help of way too many translation guides. So, all that being said, at the time I was satisfied with achievement lists for games that had them, and completion lists for those that didn’t, but a handful of games don’t actually require full completion lists for plat (off the top of my head I think 3, 4, Dead Souls, 6, 7, Gaiden, IW, and Pirates). So I said fuck it, run it back and wrap them up. About a year and a half later, I could say I’d just about 100%'d the entire franchise. I think the only thing I didn’t do was the Haruka’s Trust bullshit in games that didn’t require it.

Nobody cares about it, but I've been a straight-edge for 35 years and counting. No drugs, no booze, not even cranking the hog. On the other hand though, I can't afford anything fun anyways, neither on money, time, or the less-known ethical implications (haven't been able to watch a movie in years, for instance)
