I platinum'd bloodborne. It wasn't a life goal until I realized I was halfway through the platinum from just playing the game. Just did it this weekend, felt as good as passing a kidney stone or passing a real big bowel movement, just pure ecstasy and relief.

I have 1 trophy left, kill the Queen but just can't be bothered to go through the Chalice Dungeons to do it. I don't know how many there are to do or anything, I just can't be arsed. There might be 1, there might be 8. I have more fun in the main game playing over and over, doing different builds, than going through the dungeons which are boring. 



Hmm, pie.

To take part in a thread about life goals, well that and finally buying my first sportbike, it was a Yamaha R6.

Yeah, that one was the most tedious of them all. The amount of bosses and chalices and some material farming you have to do is fairly mind numbing. The bosses leading up to it were also fairly tough but you definitely gotta want it. I basically did a day of chalice then a few days of story/exploring cause doing Chalice dungeons for multiple days will make you hate your existence. It definitely felt more like a chore than an challenge towards the last few dungeon runs/bosses.

Just go back and do an hour or so a day. Eventually, you'll finish it up and if you're high level enough, bosses should be a breeze.

Still working on many of them (lots of progress!), but I haven't even begun my goal of starting to eat healthier. My body can handle all these processed foods right now, and all this daily fast food, but as I grow older it'll become a big problem. My dad and uncles were all very thin thanks to their super fast metabolism, but as soon as they hit 40, all that unhealthy eating started taking its toll.

I recommend going either cold turkey or slowing cutting down depending on what you're capable of. Targeting your biggest weaknesses will probably help you most as well. For instance, you may be able to go a year without ice cream, but what about chips, burgers, pizza, etc?

All I can say is good luck. There are a lot of people here who try to be as healthy as they can, so I think vgchartz would be useful for advice.

I now fap almost once a day, on pace with how I was in high school. I still got it!

I thought you're married? Why fap if you can get some action?

Nothing recently lol.

I don't set goals i just do what i want on the day.

Whatever works for you honestly. As long as you're still loving, it shouldn't be a problem.

I paid off my student loan like a month ago. It wasn't a big loan but I paid it off anyway. I'd say that means I'm debt free but I own a house so it's a lie. But because I needed to srt that out and got a new 'term' I lowered my payments of that by £50 so i should have nearly and extra £100 coming in every month, so to speak.

 

But I'm a tight bastard so probably won't spend it on anything.

Extra 100 a month is definitely a great benefit. You can always save it in case you ever need money suddenly for anything.

Reached the point where I can understand written spanish more than 50% of the time. Got a job that pays well enough for me to move out on my own.

So if you went to a Spanish-speaking country, do you think you'd be able to casually live there? Or are you still not on that level?
As for the job, congrats! Would you mind if I asked what kind of job you are working?

I have a successful job, married, bought a house and a car last year and feeling kinda hopeless because for sure I do not have major goals in life anymore. My only goal right now is to finish Horizon Zero Dawn. That game has taken me forever to finish.

Try a hobby. I had issues with being bored (and I'm not even past 20 years old), so I started an instrument and began weight lifting. Maybe there's something that can spark your interest.

I managed to combine my six current loans into one loan on my home, which make me save $1000 every month. It will enable a brand new kitchen before summer, which feels fantastic :).

Wow, $12000 a year saved is ridiculous. That's great to hear. What kind of design are you going for?

I struggled through a 10K without stopping which is pretty good for my cardio.

That's great. How often do you do a 10k?

Agree. I think it is mainly the point I am in with my life. If you asked me this question say 3-5 years ago you'd get a different response.

Back then 

It was like

get a better job - check

get married - check

get a house - check

 

already done it. now i let destiny take its course lol.

A traditional 10K, this was my third attempt, and my first where I didn't have to rest beyond stopping to get a drink of water.  I generally don't do pure cardio as prefer weightlifting. I've done endurance runs of 7-15K range over a day with various obstacles (Spartan, Mudder, etc.)



Wife and I had a goal to have our whole family before 35. She gave birth to my third child four months ago and now we're officially done with baby making.

Goal was to earn 60k income on my own by 30, it took me till 32 but 6 months in that was accomplished this year.

Bought a house - last year

Paid off both cars - 2 months ago

Bought wife a Crossover for her birthday in April - the goal was to be able to provide for the family without difficulties.

2017 has been an awesome year.

Uhm. I guess I got 4th at my (first) 16 man bracket of Sm4sh 2 weeks ago. Looking for that 1st this week.
I've been doing decently at school, except for Geography (ironically, since it's the easiest course).

Damn, I actually did it. And only by sacrificing my study time for Geography and Accounting



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

In the past month and a half I changed career paths and am working in the construction trade as an apprentice electrician. This is the goal I've had for the past few years. After 5 years of paid for schooling & tools, I'll be making about 80k base a year with no college loan to pay back, and 4 separate retirement funds along with full medical and dental benefits. Part of what I had to do for this career was quit smoking weed! It's been about two months for that, which is another win in my book. Pretty happy with how things are going lately, even if it's drawn me away from here (:

Hey. I was the "somewhat successful Smash 4 player dude" of VGC. You can't do this!

Hey, I went to GOML this year and went 2-2 😎

Pretty good for a first major (and better than my first and only monthly record of 0-2)
