Wow, what a year. Unfortunately, I cannot in good faith call this year a good one, but nonetheless, It was an interesting one.

I made many mistakes this year, some big ones that I still regret to this day that cut me off from people I could've been friends with if I put the effort in.

A lot of personal troubles happened with me and my family, I went through a plethora of mental health issues, so much toxicity spread throughout the internet and in real life.

And yet, despite all this, there were of course moments of good. I got to meet so many cool people this year, interact with some really amazing folks, spend time with my family in Oregon, etc.

Even though this year was bad, there's still a lot of good I can talk about here. So I will! I'd like to talk about some of the people who helped make this year tolerable for me.

LafawndaPasta (doesn't have a gamejolt, lol)

Where do I even start. This is one of those type of friends you have that really change your life and how you look at things. Through hell and high water, he stuck with me, supported me, and always stood by my side as my friend.

He is such a sweetheart with a talent for writing that I have never seen before. Whenever I was having a bad day or feeling like shit, he was always there, asking if I was okay and trying to do something to help lift my spirits.

I have so much to thank him for and I have no doubt that things for the both of us will grow further into the next year. Thank you for everything, Lafawnda, I'm so so happy to be your friend man.

@DormNes

Someone I only reconnected with recently, and yet he's already done so much for me. He's given me advice, helped me with my friends, and most importantly, been someone I can talk to who I know won't bullshit me.

He's brutally honest and that's something we all need. He's a blast to chat with and an amazing friend.

He helped me see clearly on so many topics, helped lift me up in extremely dark moments, helped me understand when I was in the wrong. I haven't gotten to know you for too long, Dorm, but I'm glad I met you. Here's to knowing you further next year.

@frazzelc

Even though I didn't get to talk to him that much this year, the conversations we did have really impacted me. Frazz, you are such a sweet and uplifting guy, you make me feel safe when I'm around you.

You've helped me in such dire moments and supported me towards being a better person. Even if I haven't quite gotten there yet, I want to use 2025 as the year to really change, and I have Frazz to partially thank for that.

Even if we don't talk alot, I'm glad to have you as a friend, Frazz.

@thatdoggocalledray

Not much I can put here, mainly because we don't talk a lot, but even then, Ray is such a great person to talk to. Thank you for all the chats about fnaw and other stuff, even if it isn't very deep, it never needed to be.

I'm glad that I get to talk to you, even if it's never anything groundbreaking. Not to mention how big of an inspiration he is for me, my god. Half of the stuff I've made wouldn't exist without stuff like Nevermore.

All the stuff he's been through this year, all the shit he's had to deal with, and yet he's pulled through and kept making stuff of quality, it's amazing. Thanks a ton, Ray.

@Shiraki-Shio

I am so happy that I have you as my friend. I wish we could talk more, I wish I could get to know you more, but even then, you're a really amazing friend, and I'm so grateful that I get to talk with and know you. I hope to get to know you more next year, because you're awesome.

@mecasora

Meca, you're such a sweetheart, lol. Even if we don't chat too often, you're just a really kind and polite guy who I always have fun talking with.

Thank you so so much for bringing me comfort during bad times, thank you so much for talking to me, thank you so much for being my friend.

@CrimsonPlague

Man, you're a hoot to talk to, lol. You're a really good person to just talk about random bullshit and hyper fixations with. You often make me laugh and smile, all that.

You are really fun to talk to, really fun to discuss interests and art with. Thank you for nerding out with me, lmao.

@Ihave2iq

Another one of those friends that, even if I don't talk to much, is always a treat to chat with. Sackhead, you are a really talented person who has inspired me so much with how fast you learn things.

Even if we don't know each other super well, I can say with absolute certainty that you're a really cool guy who is going to great places.

@HeyAllTacoHere

Even if I didn't get to know you super well, you're really fun to hang out and talk with. Not much I can put here, although I will say that I look forward to getting to know you more next year.

@worldtrademark

Hello World! I am so happy that I got to meet you. You're a fucking amazing friend who has helped me through so much stuff, both personal and coding related.

You've taught me so much stuff about coding, you've helped me reach a level that I didn't think I could, you've been an amazing person to me, etc.

I regret not talking to you more this year, hopefully I can make it up to you next year, cheers mate.

@cassregister

Another friend that, even though I don't chat with enough, is still a lot of fun, lol. Glad I got to know you, Cass, you're a really cool and silly person who has actually inspired me with some of your works. Thanks a ton, Cass.

@VodkaBanana & @RockstarvaPsycho

God, I wish I got to talk to you two more this year. You two have done so much for me that I can never repay back.

I will do my best to chat with the two of you more next year, because it's the least I can do. Thank you for being amazing friends for me who have lifted me up.

@VibingLeaf

One of THE most important people I met this year. Not only did I get to help with and make a lot of cool shit with, but also, got to know as a really REALLY cool person who has been so polite and kind to me.

You have inspired me so so much and you have been such an amazing, kind person to me. I am so glad that I got to meet you, Leaf, I hope to work and talk with you more soon.

@EpicTagey_Games

Another one of the most important people I could've talked to this year. Tagey's work has always been the main inspiration behind my games, obviously, lol. Lament would not have existed if Cabin Fever didn't, a lot of my stuff wouldn't have.

So to finally talk with him more was such a treat. Tagey, you are a sweetheart and I'm glad I got to know you this year. Thank you for all the chats and thank you for staying so inspired after all this time and still putting your all into your projects.

@Speedorsm

Best for last, eh? Speed, you and I have been through SO much shit over the last couple years that I'd be writing for almost an hour if I tried to put it all to paper. And yet, through all the hardships and drama, I'm glad we can finally put it all aside and still remain as friends.

I'm so so sorry for not talking to you enough this year, I'm so sorry for not being there enough. I hope that next year, I can talk to you further. Even in spite of everything, I'm so happy that I got to know you. Thank you so so much, Speed.

I love you man, here's to a good 2025. ❤️

And here's all the other people I didn't talk about here!

Thank each and every one of you for making my year so much better with our chats and conversations. I hope to have more with y'all next year.

Happy 2025 to each and every one of you! I'll see you next year!

(P.S. Sorry for the lack of game updates, I just didn't have much to say without going into spoilers, lol)
