What did this year teach you?

Pain and fear.

turkey vulture and bald eagle look a lot alike at a half mile

I’ve bought a load of games this year.

What have I learned? That my gaming backlog only gets bigger.

2024 November, I upgraded my PC ,2025 November, I upgraded my screen, I have been preparing myself again for new GTA release, just like back in 2015,that's ten years ago, and op is asking me, what I learned in 2025,I really dont know.

maybe for other people, upgrading PC is no big deal that should appear on calendar, for me, its a big deal.

that "democrats liberals and far-leftists" have ran the US into the dirt and blamed everything on republicans, trump... or "white people", for "reasons".

as well as, anyone not in agreeance with.. "democrats, liberals and far-leftists", claims everyone is "far-right" of them, along with them calling all everyone names, labels, "ist's", "ism's" and other vulgar things, as well as violence and harm/or worse... of others, is supposedly acceptable.

as well as, my tax dollars have been being stolen, or used for stuff, that none of us tax payers agreed to be used on, while me and other americans... struggle and scratch a living, to survive, some either barely making it, or some not making it and going homeless, or worse..

also that, history for some doesnt matter, thus past mistakes are a repeatable.

also, that off topic subforum, is being spammed with bait topics and other inappropriate topics.

also that alt accounts, bot farms and bypassing forum bans, is prevalent/rampant here in off topic, or the steam forums in general.

and as well, that the rule "no politics, religion and prone to huge arguments", should have never been removed, like everyone stated back when they removed it.

as well, that "steam points" being added to the forums, was a bad idea, like everyone stated it would be when they were added.

also, that i cant afford to upgrade my pc and buy games much anymore, due to past instances, of creating inflation and insane prices (be it gaming, or irl stuff), or other factors... thus i have to keep using my expensive almost 10 year old pc and stick with what games i have, to be allowed entertainment, because its needed elsewhere, be it bills, food, etc... because of past instances, with pricing, "inflation" and insane taxes.....

and that, the AAA gaming industry, whom was once good companies from the past, has become greed driven, politically driven and hate their customers, where as most indies have taken up the "torch" and are propping up the gaming industry currently.

and many many other things...

have a nice day

What have you done this year?

I've spent this year telling Rovio that they're bad at putting out video games.
