2019 goals/ 2018 recap

First of all, Happy new year!

2018 recap:

I didn't set any  goals for 2018, but overall im happy about how my speedruns went

-DKR:

Went a took the 100% WR back this summer, i probably sound like a broken record at this point but that run is by far my favorite of all speedrunning and having WR in it means alot to me. So this made running the same worth so much to me. Also Tied the ATR WR which is cool and got alot better at the game in general in both speedrunning and IL/TimeTrial. Overall very pleased

-DK

Happy that i finally got a sub 6 101% on N64, been a long term goal of mine for a very long time and it boosted my confidenced in terms of mastering non racing game speedruns. I wish i improved the other catogories but atleast i am very happy with the 101 run. I also tried to learn 101% on VC and gave up at some point, but probably will be doing runs in the future

-Others

I got some other pbruns here and there that were ok in other games like Armillo, San Franscico rush and both banjo games but since those are secondary game im not that happy about those runs still. I think the biggest failure was to not finish the 301 race. I think it was mostly due to not being prepare enough for BT which made me very tilted and tired going into DK. Maybe ill finish one this year.

-IRL

The year was very up and down, but overwall ended on positive terms, happy of the progess ive made this year on many aspect and i want to keep working towards alot of goals and start improving other things.


2019 Goals:

-Speedrunning

Like last year, i dont wanna set myself goals of having X time or learning Y game, ill just go with the flow and set my goals and expections as i progress in whatever run i am grinding, i think this is more healthy and for sure puts less presure on getting good times in my mind.

That being said, if i do feel like it, these are the things id like to accomplish this year:
-Organise tournaments/events to help grow interest and friendly competition in my main games
-Complete and comprehensive DKR tutorial (this has been a goal of mine forever at this point but ive been mostly lazy)
-DK 101% on VC and get a good time
-Learn and get somewhat good at SM64 70/120 star
-Possible 602 race attemps if i have time to learn all the games to a decent enough level
-Explore new ways of speedrunning (OOT randos/beta quest for exemple)

General Gaming:

-Get good at smash ultimate, meaning going to some tournaments, going to weekly's, actually practice stuff
-More time for casual gaming, tho this has improved alot in 2018, but there is still a bunch of games i need to finish/start that are very fun and speedrunning/playing smash 24/7 burns me out quickly
-Less salt, idk if i can but ill try lmao

IRL:

-Lose weight, atleast sub 200 this year, hopefully sub 180 pounds, ive already lost some weight and even went down in size of jeans in the first time in forever, but there is still alot of work to be done
-Workout on cardio
-Be better at my job, both skill wise and communication wise
-Acknowledge friends, meaning being a better friend in all aspects
-Focus less on negative, learn from it and turn it into a positive experience

That pretty much sums up everything i have in mind as of now, thanks for reading and i wish yall a good 2019. The year of DK Bingos
