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

👶

Yours or just generally looking forward to seeing random babies?
- Yes, but also mine.
Congrats.
Ah yes, a fellow person who hates disposable income too!
Congrats!

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
- Can add Doug Ford to that list as well. He is following the fascist hand book to a T here in Ontario.
- I'd rather be maxing my social credit rn now vs being in America

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

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?

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

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

- As opposed to the countless people currently being killed?

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

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 😂

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.

I can't say anything to make it better, just know that I'm there too. A little peace in solidarity?

Extinction of the human race. Failing that, I’m looking forward to buying a non-HP wide format printer for printing TTRPG maps (my players aren’t keen on VTTs). Maybe an overpriced European Espresso/Cappucino machine, too.

Extinction of the human race
We're almost there

Get Switch 2 (this is for christmas)

Finally getting to play Hollow Knight: Silksong

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
