Hello hello, living creatures near and far! It's time for the moment you all been waiting for~!
Welcome to your final moment, where you'll be put in this thread to express your gratitude and sorrow you've felt throughout this year. Feel free to say anything - your achievements, your regrets, your future goals... literally anything before the clock strikes midnight in your area - so long as it is civil and not breaking the rules.

Each year I'll host this moment, to give a chance to people not only denizens, but also adventurers outside Off-Topic lurking in here in a midst of chaos or slow progress these days. And looking back at 2024, it was a wild ride - from the "brainrot" memes to the neverending drama, to the US election, to the world problems - conflicts and living costs - that has led 2024 to rot. Regardless, I would like to congratulate everyone here to make it here this far! I know how much suffering we had endured, and how much hope and prayer to make a new year better in every new beginnings, yet we should make our days count as much as possible. At least that's the most matter.

Moving to our Off-Topic people - friends and foes, those who stayed and those who chose to leave - I would like to congratulate you for participating Off-Topic this year. Hope we have another blast here, and continue to make sh!tty threads until the end of this Valhalla era. And to you lurkers from outside, I too should congratulate for being with us for this 2024 epilogue.

May this memory - good and bad - associate within the year 2024 be held in this thread to open our minds onto the new chapter - 2025.

So what are you waiting for?!
Grab the opportunity to say things, expressing your feelings or go wild. Because by the time your clock reaches 1 JAN 2025 00:00:00 - your time is up.

tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock...

Dafuq you mean 2025 is already mid 2020's?!

me being me, i'm excellent at being unproductive

i still need to think about my future

Huh, it's that time of the year again?

No osu, no life!
That's what all the pros say!

2025 is gonna be such a banger, I can feel it. (our election is then and is DESPERATELY NEEDED)

Time marches ever forward...

I know Ive made progress this year, but it never really feels like it.

The hedonic treadmill is brutal with depression.

Here's to the future.

i'm entering 2025 in about 2 hours

2020 is almost 5 years ago??!?!!

im gonna unfollow vexbolts one day later lel

after all these, how bad could 2025 be?


oh shi-

what if someone post in this thread after everyone's time is up (by that, I mean when all timezones have surpassed 01/01/2025 00:00:00

I can feel the torment of the lack of a closing bracket in the post above...

I've struggled with sleep a ton over the last days. I hope we leave that in 2024.

this guy gets it

While I crossed more things off my bucket list this year than I have the previous year, it barely moved in terms of self development. May 2025 be the year things start moving.

2024 was a pretty cool year.

Is it me or when every time a year ends I feel moody and depressed?
Probably not wanting to let go of this year or not looking forward to the next year.

waiting for the new year is something i always do. And when the new year happens, I wait for school vacation.

Oh hey, it's the last day of 2024 here.
yippie

hi

Hi.

This year I have learned more about myself, both positive and negative, achieved not many achievements, but are there.
Odd to figure out your negative but cannot figure out how to resolve it, but I'll get there. The biggest thing I realized is, I'm too self-aware. Awareness is great, but "too" isn't. Makes me backpaddle on everything, especially with relationships that could of been formed.

Not too sad about the year ending nor do I want to expect anything of me in the next. Will continue to be me, and Me could change at any time.

this year I realized that I'm a total failure of a man

eh, this year was filler, nothing happened

don't forget to poop before midnight on 31 Dec 2024. you don't want to carry the same shit into 2025

(i think i said the same thing last year but i hope we get GOOD videogames in 2025. i want to be impressed)

Thank you, Serra. ily <3

I'm sad I didn't map as much as I could have because of fear of messing up

My goal going into the future is to experiment more :3

Ok, I just realized that 2024 didn't exist, the last existing year was 2023. Everything that happened in 2024 happened in 2023. I was updating my OneNote list of watched animes, and I went to check if a specific anime had been watched in 2024, only to find out that I watched it in 2022... ;-;

We're still stuck in 2020 but part 4.

UTC-1 and onwards:

How's your last day treating you so far?

Goodbye 2024 o7

I hope 2025 is a good year

Initially thought 2024 was gonna be an unskippable ad.
Now that the ad is pretty much done, holy shit.
