alright forget this new post here we go

"eblu are you 18 yet"
pass game programming with flying colors
i actually do something meaningful in this community
PQ stops being updated
noby is unbanned (unlikely but i want this to happen)
someone actually comes out with another good MB mod for once
i actually learn how to drive
kurt gets staff and matan has a heart attack
i actually make a PQ level this time

i'll add more garbage if i think of any before this post gets buried alive

MBP WRR will come out after another delay or two and added insane runs
Won't be in the PQ WRR but maybe I'll try
Perhaps improve my Tube Treasure run by less than a tenth of a second
I will release a project early this year
Jeff might actually have an ongoing project
I'll meet Jeff again? Or maybe someone else?
Would be cool if I released that custom level I made in 2013 but realistically I'm going to forget about it again
Release another tribute to jeef drawing (I already have some, just need to dig them up)
Jeff will make at least one recipe from the jambalaya cookbook I gave him

I will be 18 (yet)
Graduate with honors!
Semi-reluctantly choose to attend Ohio State University
Get a girlfriend and break up with her after a few months
Make friends
Gain weight (a good thing)
Get a job
Do speedruns, maybe get really good at one, or get good at another fighting game
Inactivity will cause me to drop off the local Smash PR but I’ll come back with a vengeance
Pay too much attention to politics
Be more confident sometimes
Attend cubing nationals in Utah, and 3 more tournaments on top of that
Podium in 3x3 at least once

My last-minute predictions:

• I will be re-employed
• The Yankees will win the World Series
• Bob Barker may pass away (please, God, no)
• Democrats will regain the Senate
• The Golden State Warriors will win another NBA title
• I will make an attempt to push for a colored username on the Marble Blast forums (though probably not actually get it)
• My family may begin preparations to move out of the state
• The Raiders will make the next NFL playoffs
• One of my family members will have a health scare

That's all for this year.

Last year was interesting and unfortunately we're losing the freebie that is PQ releasing, but we getting some cool new stuff:

- I quit working at my current place of work and find a new one.

- I will probably go overseas to a previously visited country rather than a new one, unless..
- Aayrl gets married and invites me in which case I'll go. I need a notification months in advanced though!

- I resume my diet and go down 3-5kg at least.
- I finish BL2+TPS again, and probably in two or three walkthroughs for one of them at least. I won't go to level 72 though.
- I might play another game and finish it, or at least two...

- I probably will not resume Hocus Pocus TAS or Theme Park Inc speedrun.

- PQ will continue with some updates but they get into long stretches as development is all but finished.
- PQ will continue its non-stop crashing behaviour.
- I might make a new level for this community, but probably won't happen.
- Fubar is RIP!

- MBP WRR #3 gets released, and progress on a new WRR is happening. Hopefully MBG/Nest Egg/Easter Egg ones.

- I might help develop a new game, don't know if it'll finish but it should have some solid progress.

- Tsuf will continue his unending earth-shattering screams as he pisses my parents and I. He's doing it at this point in writing too. Two years in a row it's amazing it's happening right as I'm writing these predictions again.

- I will buy a new computer as I'm now almost in the 5th year of it (purchased July 2013), so it reached the max cycle time.

- I will probably not forget about the Time Capsule but HiGuy and I will set a reminder anyway.
- New artwork will happen for it, just like 2018's. Maybe not HiGuy this time?

- Nothing new on the SDA front. It will probably continue to linger, though.

- This still isn't cannon.cs


Oh and Matan, it's:

Marble Blast

I'll make and release at least four levels.

I'll still be involved with the community, but not quite as much.

PlatinumQuest stops updating, save for Winterfest, Frightfest, and other potential events. Final version number is 2.6.X.

An old staff member comes back to play PQ's finished form.

The website will go down at least once due to server overload, IE someone popular streaming PQ

One or more staff members leave the community.

Jeff tries and fails to make another marble game.

There will be at least one "finished" noob mod, and at least five failed noob mods.

'Nobody' will be unbanned and given another chance.

Real Life

I'll pass every class in the spring and fall this year with at least a C+.

I'll finally take driving lessons and get my license.

I won't get a job over the summer, but I'll be bugged endlessly about it.

Democrats will win the House but not the Senate in the November election. I'll actually be able to vote because I'm 18 yet.

Trump will not be impeached, but there will be more damning evidence revealed.

I'm just a smidge more optimistic about this year.
