It's June 2025. What are you looking forward to in the next 6 months?

Trump, Musk, Putin and Xi getting deserved karma. (unlikely to happen but wishful thinking).

Steam Deck 2 or Steam console

And Wilders, Orban, Weidel...
Putin Xi in the same category as trump, musk, and putin is crazy work
- I'd rather be maxing my social credit rn now vs being in America
- Can add Doug Ford to that list as well. He is following the fascist hand book to a T here in Ontario.

Ah yes, a fellow person who hates disposable income too!

Congrats!
Congrats.

Civil war. Not exactly looking forward to it per sé. Just expecting it.

I mean 6 months is a stretch, I’m thinking next week or so at this point. First time Trump orders military to shoot at civilians I fully expect the west coast to secede, followed by New England
- Another shot heard round the world.
- That would be great improvement to both Canada and New England/west coast however I do not see that ever happening given trigger happy authoritarian in charge would simply use that as an excuse for military occupation of said states. They’d use the same excuse as Russia did for invading crimea except they’d sort of have a point because there is no “legal” way for a state to secede by its own volition I don’t think.
US i suppose?

Collapse of the us. Genuinely hope it happens this time instead of people just accepting having fewer rights again.

Kind of twisted to wish for a situation that will inevitably kill countless people
- As opposed to the countless people currently being killed?

Finally getting to play Hollow Knight: Silksong

First a few weeks of vacation, working during summer is basically vacation because noone wants anything not urgent done.

Then hunting season when I'll have my actual vacation.

What industry are you in that summer becomes so easy to work in?
- Automation Engineer. Everyone of our customers have half their workforce on vacation and they will delay any non urgent work for when they are back.
  
  So my job turns into cleaning the workshop and waiting for a thunderstorm to zap something expensive and send spare parts.

Trying to get into better shape through better diet and getting back into cycling. Enjoying it so far, although only in week 2.

Also, going on holiday to France soon, first time I've been abroad in years, can't wait!

sounds fun dude, enjoy
- Thanks! 😁

Should see some serious progress on some mental and physical fitness goals. Really excited about that!

I have 50m2 garage I want to turn into a workshop mainly for sewing but also for other compatible activities like origami.

My dream would be to make it available to other people as some sort of creative space.

The objective for the next 6 months is to clean the yard that leads there, get rid of most of the stuff stored in there and find an advisor (not sure if it is the right word) to help me with the renovation process because I have no clue.

Nothing. Recently lost my job and have absolutely no confidence that I'll be able to get another; so life is pretty much at a standstill until something happens with that.

There is a chance, albeit somewhat small, that I will finally be able to pay off my student loans in the next six months.

Started at $60,000 and now they're down to like 14. But I'm expecting a pretty large bonus coming up in the next few months, And if it does come through and no unexpected expenses pop up to take it away, then there's a chance.

Oh dear dog, it is already? FML...

Going to the UK for 10 days in October, very excited for that.

What part of the UK are you heading too?

Academic year is largely done, so I'm looking forward to three months of kicking the arse out of my gaming to-play list; getting out running more; and spending time with the family.

For the second three months, I'm looking forward to enjoying the study and achieving good grades, before it fades away into another nine month slog and the pass mark becomes the target and not the minimum 😂

Well I'm finishing school in the next couple of weeks, so that's great.
Also will probably start redoing my driver's license (I started 3 years ago, had to pause because of school) and start saving money for a Ninja 250r.

Get Switch 2 (this is for christmas)

Metal festival.

went for the first time last year, it was so fun

Getting the hell out of Texas. I'm moving to Pennsylvania in a month and change after living in Texas for almost 10 years and hating it here the whole time. It'll be nice to be out of the aggressively backwards deep-red South. Kinda wish I was moving southwest instead of northeast, but that shit's just way too expensive. Plus it'll be nice to be out of the oppressive heat and humidity of the Gulf Coast for 8 months out of the year.

I guess for me there are two festivals I am looking forward to. Also..saving. My cat got really sick last winter, which did cost me a lot and now I am trying to build up my savings again. I also hope that he will pass smoothly, unfortunately the latest diagnosis for him was dire.

Maybe I'll finally get better? I'm chronically ill.

sorry to hear that. hoping for the best

i'm looking forward to getting a stable-ish job after my trial period. i already accepted an internship and have another offer on the table that can fill in my time nicely

i'm also looking forward to playing Patapon 1 & 2 replay, and Ratatan, and maybe even Silksong but it's been so long i'm not sure it's not just a collective hallucination

Vacation baby! Portland & south Carolina! I get to visit my storage unit and pull out all my guitars !
