Whoa it’s been a whole year since I started this website.

Let’s look back at some of my greatest hits.

Well, there was the .. uhh .. the post I made about the .. thing.

Oh I wrote a lot about playing board games and posting about them, and then never actually did.

Or about reviewing films, which I managed to do with one, and then never again.

I also had a go at reading and reviewing comics from the golden age.

Or about TV shows that I never finished¹.

Let us not forget the whole reason for this website, which was the failed project Retrograde Online, the browser-based MMO that was so unappealing that even its creator (me) couldn’t be bothered with it².

Ah, never mind, I am full of good intentions that never make it out of my head and onto the Internet, and that may even be a good thing.

Let’s see, what else have I been up to over the last 12 months…

I socialised occasionally, that was ok. I was moaned at a lot by a few people.

Work carried on, I was not sacked or promoted or engaged or interested, but I was at least paid.

I spent far too much money on tabletop games that I played only a couple of times.

I bought a PS5 and realised that I don’t actually enjoy playing video games like I used to³, which is a shame.

There have been some really weird goings-on with UFOs over in the USA. I should look into that a bit more, I lost interest in UFOs and everything once technology became advanced enough that anyone could fake a video.

I had a resurgance of interest in Taoism, which has faded away again, so I’m back to just being listless and no longer calling it wu-wei.

Donald Trump won the presidency, which was unexpected by everyone who doesn’t pay attention, but that doesn’t necessarily mean its a good thing. A lot of Americans are soon to learn that “America First” does not mean “Americans First”⁴.

For this year there is literally nothing I want to achieve or to do. I am not bothering with any personal growth, or goals that will never be achieved like “get fitter”, “join the gym” etc.

I might try to eat more healthily. Cook more Japanese stuff, maybe.

Well, anyway that’s it.

I might post again, but to be honest I am already bored of this website.

Happy New Year!
