I do it on TikTok the most, however I think I’ve curated my algorithm nicely and never get any real brainrotting videos. My YouTube shorts algorithm is entirely messed up and full of AI slop and low effort memes.
I've purposefully avoided TikTok after my wife got into it. We'd often sit down and watch videos together and while she had it curated pretty well, it became apparent very quickly just how easy it is to just keep scrolling even when you hardly retain any of it.
My YouTube shorts are well curated too, they're all either comedy or educational, but if I'm scrolling through 1-minute videos for an hour I don't feel like I've really learned anything or did something enjoyable.

Speaking of YouTube, I just noticed that a ton of my old videos don't have the game specified. They use tags, of course, which is all we had back in then. They were marked as game footage, though, so YouTube would try to guess the game. It chose... poorly. I fixed some of them, but I don't want to go back through all of them!
I rarely ever post on my PC, so I decided to do some housekeeping. Saw some people here with their specs on their signature and I realized I never filled mine out.
A bit belated for some of you and a bit early for others, but happy New Year everybody!
Happy New Year back @Pifanjr and to the rest of you guys and gals
Happy New Year!
Anyone have any goals or ideas?
I don't generally make resolutions myself, but I guess I have one I'm going to try and stick to: no tournaments.
I can already feel interest in them beginning to spark, but they burned me out hard last year, so I want to avoid that this time around.
Edit: one more, actually: finally get my project car on the road. It'll be 6 years in December 2025 that it hasn't moved. I'm pretty close with it, just need to get over the final few hurdles.

So far I've avoided any doomscrolling and I'm planning to stick with that.
I do also plan on continuing Baldur's Gate 3, but I haven't done that yet. I plan on playing a little bit tomorrow though.

I’m going to see if I can learn more next year. I’ve always loved aesthetics and typography but never been great at designing in that way, so I’m going to try and learn. Hopefully, if I’m successful, I could eventually make some money on the side, but I won’t count my chickens.
My "resolutions" change little as they stay similar every day. This year, however, I bought a 2025 daily journal. I plan to write what I do every day and hopefully it will motivate me to try to accomplish more so that I don't have to write about how I just spent all day doing BS stuff. If I do get to write of some worthy accomplishment hopefully it's a dopamine hit that will motivate me to do even more.
I do not doomscroll, I joyscroll. Addicted to the dopamine hit I get from videos of cats being silly, really bad puns, and other lighthearted stuff, but it can lead to hours of
But, I always want to read more, I always want to produce any kind of finished project in Unreal Engine (not just tinker with stuff), I always want to learn more about music, the piano in particular. I always want to surf the net and social media less. It's always about a new day's resolution, never a new year's.
Anyway, who knows? It might work.

Nasty storm coming in. Probably. There's supposed to be a lot of freezing rain overnight - but the conditions for that are always touchy. There's likely to be a lot of snow, but the weather map has a pretty steep gradient. If the storm stays a little north, a lot might turn into 2 inches. If it goes further south, a lot could turn into a ton.
Whatever the case, though, it's going to get windy and colder. Power outages are likely, so my main worry right now is for my water pipes. (Food is no worry. Refrigerator food goes in the garage, frozen stuff goes outside.)

I'm going to a buffet this evening for my mom's birthday. I don't remember the last time I've been to one of those, it's probably been at least 7 years. I'm fully prepared though, I haven't eaten anything all day.
The one I went to makes you pay for the time you spent there. I think it was about €50 per person for two hours for unlimited food and drinks.
I ended up eating 6 plates. They were fairly small plates and I didn't stack them up, but I was still on the verge of getting nauseous at the end. The quality was hit or miss and even the good stuff wasn't anything to write home about. The lasagna was the most disappointing though: it looked so good and I normally love lasagna, but it was exceptionally bland.
It was a good reminder why I haven't been to a buffet in years.

Casinos have awesome buffets (or at least they did, it's been decades since I've been to one).
