Since the world, and the internet, and this site will all totally still be around in 2029, why not indulge in some long-term aspirations?

We're only one year into this decade-long exercise in gaming-planning hubris and this statement is already looking even more recklessly optimistic than it was meant to in December 2019.

[MerlinDrazziw]

Beat 1 game I've haven't beaten before

Forgot about this .. but guess I already beat a game I hadn't beaten before (Celeste).
Guess I can extend this resolution and add 2 more.

[Kong Wen]

Well, I've actually completed one of my decadely resolutions: 2 PS4 plats! Only a dozen to go, and only 8 years left to accomplish them all...

[Kong Wen]

The Steam Deck has already been helping me make some progress towards my PC goals!

I'm going to have to set some time aside and make a more concerted effort for some of the older/retro/one-off goals, though...
