Dear josm,
Stopped fucking around yet?
Hey 2016 Dongotti. Shit man, this year is gonna be a roller coaster. Finally moving out and moving to the other side of the world on your own! Hope you got into the university you wanted and loving where ever you decided to go, weather its the UK or the USA. Hope your still in touch with your current mates and had a sick NYE! Hope the year went awesome for you, and I hope moving out was exciting (I'm excited just writing about it haha). Take care, and here is to 2015 (and 2016 when your reading this)!
Hello future self...
Are you happy now?
[QUOTE=titopei;43379806]Are you over her yet? So what if she has a boyfriend, it's not really worth it to just wait for them to break up. If they do, then that's great, but it's better if you broaden your horizons instead of just looking at one person.[/QUOTE]
lol easy
Are you less dramatic yet, you don't need to think so hard into things
Dear future me,
Don't make a foll of youself.
Love, StarBot <3
Also, Congratulations on turning 14.
Fucking finish learning java

Hey, Windy who's now 21. How goes it? Still kicking right?
[i]Very much alive here. [/i]
You are sticking with that 3D animation course, right? Are you actually drawing more? Do you have more of a portfolio now? Can you actually color? I hope you have a fighting chance of getting into university, it seems like the ideal place for you. I might be speaking about it too early, we both know you'll be like... 22 when and if you get into university, if everything goes according to plan. Hopefully those ideas you have in your head will be getting explored more and you can actually do what you want to do.
[i]I am indeed sticking with 3D Animation. I have the major project to do for second year now... so far i've not done anything during the chistmas break because of a mixture of things, including "I'm a lazy cunt" and "I'm actually moving house." and i will have to get my ass into gear now. That project is redicuous however since i have to do everything by myself and the lecturer is (as i've figured out), next to fucking useless when it comes to this kind of stuff. Aside from being the idea's man, he has actually got a student from last year to teach us the 3D modeling part.
As much as it's a pain in the ass, i'll march on through it. On the bright side, as much as it pains to me to say it. The new computers that was promised for the start of the second year are shit hot... Although they are Macs, and we both hate Apple shit. We don't need to bring the laptop and we arent using Poser, so all is decent for now.
I have been drawing more, more as a neccessity more than anything else, i have my portfolio full of life drawings now instead of the usual stuff because i feel like i need to get the basics right before going back to my old ways. As far as i'm aware, i still can't colour for shit though but that might be because i've not actually done it.
As for a fighting chance for Uni, i've done the UCAS shit. It's been submitted and hopefully something will happen with that. Although if it doesnt go according to plan for whatever reason, i'll have a year to organize my portfolio again with self learning. This would also involve finding a job to keep myself busy and have some funds to do other stuff, because i can't be doing fuck all now.
Quite frankly, we will see what happens. [/i]
See that RPG Maker project? AMFAR? All my Friends are Robots? Are you still working on that? You have a fair few people paying attention to it at RPG Maker generals at 4chan, and if you actually work on it. You'll have people outside from that little thread looking out for it. Get stuck in and make a damn good game like what you wanted to do.
[i]As it turns out, 3D Animation is rather time comsuming and draining. So i've put that into kinda hiatus for now until i have the time to give it a good stab. This does give me a chance to write up stuff for the universe that AMFAR takes place in.
It has came into attention that Kaolyne has started doing commissions, so i might drop the word to him when all the gameplay and such is sorted that i'll have work for him, it would benefit both of us.
Besides, he's a talented dude and i wouldnt mind dropping him a £50 donation to him. At the time of writing, the Philippine peso to the Pound is 0.014 pence to the single peso... £50 would be something like almost 3500 peso or something redicuous. I'm going to have to ask about this somewhere since i don't have a clue how much 3500 peso would get you. And christ knows how much a thesis project would cost here, nevermind there. [/i]
Have you got yourself the Xbox One yet? Or the PS4? How are they? Did you play Titan fall? Are you addicted to Dark Souls 2 once more? Is Ragnarok Online 2 dead yet? Is Phantasy Star Online 2 released outside of Japan yet? Have you played Tree of Savior Online? (The true Ragnarok Online successor) Has Nanosuit Ninja released more information about his project? Because you seem rather interested in that, suddenly. Must be because of the Redline influence. How's Starbound shaping up?
[I] Indeed i got a Xbone back at march but, oddly enough i didnt play much of it till september time. The User Interace for the thing is fucking horrible and there hasnt been too many games i bought for it.
Titanfall was pretty alright although it felt way too easy to be consistantly good. I don't recall a time where i thought i got my ass kicked after a week of playing.
Watch Dogs was... decent enough, i bought that out of boredom and it kept me ammused for a while. The hacking was pretty simple for my tastes but it's not exactly a bad game.
Wolfenstein: The New Order was brilliant. It threw the issues that a modern FPS would have out the window with non regenerating health and a essance on running and gunning instead of taking cover everytme you heard your heartbeat a little quicker than normal. It was a bloody good time.
Halo: MCC was... a bit of a disgrace, it shouldnt have taken then a month to sort out the multiplayer side of things. Thinking about it annoys me a little.
Advanced Warfare was alright, your typical Call of Duty. There isnt much to say about it other than the campaign being the best or second best there is in that francise and that Sledgehammer games are someone to pay attention to. My main gripe is that it adds more places to get shot from in the Multiplayer and it feels a lot more uncomfortable on the pad.
The rerelease of GTA 5 feels good, although i've not exactly played much of it. I think it shouldnt have came out on the prevous generation. A huge difference is seen as soon as you put the disk in.
Oh, and WWE 2K15 is actually kind of fun. I'm not kidding, i'm really enjoying that and i know jack shit about wrestling now. Blame New Legacy Inc and VCGW for this one.
Also, the Halo 5 beta came out a few days ago before the new year. It feels very much like Halo but i'm not preordering shit now. MCC chomped on my ass and i'm not forgetting it.
Meanwhile, back on the other consoles and games. Dark Souls 2 was alright, it didnt keep me occupied for as long as i thought. I must had compleated it at least three times compaired to the god knows how many on Dark Souls 1. They are rereleasing that on the current generation... it might be soemthing to buy after Bloodborne, for a laugh.
No, i've not bought a PS4 yet, i'm waiting for Bloodborne and it might be wise to wait until the summer to buy one since i really need to crack on with college work... Although Bloodborne might keep me sain during the rendering period.
Ragnarok Online 2 might be dead? I've not payed attention to it since it's not worth paying attention. It's a shit World of Warcraft clone that doesnt deserve my attention, end of. Tree of Savior is shaping up nicely but god knows when that will be released outside Korea. I really want those sprites...
And no, Phantasy Star Online 2 still hasnt been released outside of Japan. If you want to play that, your going to have to download the translation patch.
Nanosuit Ninja's redline like game has gone under the radar, i think he's secretly working on that and i still can't wait to hear about it.
Starbound is... better than it was last year, i guess? [/i]
You got into streaming yet? You have that fucking huge backlog of games waiting to be played/replayed/finished and hopefully, if you have started streaming by now, you might have actually attacked that collection. How's your Youtube account going? Right now you have 143 subscribers, i wonder what you'll have next year...
[i] I might get into streaming after i move house, my prevous room isnt exactly organised the way i like it. But i have been kicking the shit out of my backlog. Godhand is SUCH A GOOD FUCKING GAME.
I ended up on the PS2 a lot more than the Xbox One. We will put it that way. I was going to tackle Yakuza 1 during the christmas break but i got destracted with Surpreme Commander...
I did a clean start with my youtube. Currently at 20 subscribers but i've not been posting stuff. The prevous account had 272 subscribers however but i like having my current name i use now instead of Highwind017. If i could get it changed on Facepunch, that would be great but i'm not counting on it. [/i]
How's your Manga collection going? You have a decently huge collection right now. Don't spend too much money on it... Same with the Figma's, New York was a reason i guess. And buying the Henrietta one was... well, you had reasons since Gunslinger Girl is good shit. Don't buy too many of the things... please?
[i]The Manga collection has grown massively. Finished Dragon Ball and Full Metal Alchemist and ended up rereading Gunslinger Girl. I might buy a new Figma once i move to the new place. [/i]
Just keep doing what your doing, watch out for your friends. Nicky especially. Remember what i said last year, "She's been there when you needed it most. You can't lose a friend like her. So don't fucking lose her. Heck, don't you lose any of those friends. You are not going back to step one, your going further ahead.", You know who is going to stick by you. No falling for what you think is "love" any more. You've past that stage of your life. "Love" will come around when it comes around, if it hasn't happened, just don't worry about it.
[I] Nicky is getting slightly better, she left her shitty job so hopefully i don't have to hear that bollocks now. I still wouldnt ride her into battle though, so to speak. But no friends have been lost. You wouldnt beleive what i ended up having to do during the literal dawn of New Years.
Let's just say that Converse do not cut out to be good hill climbing shoes when it's pitch black and you have a big guy holding on with a dodgy knee. Never again. [/i]
Catch you later, Friend.
Kick some ass out there.
PS - super important: You better be looking after your Dad. You know why.
[i] But of course![/i] [/QUOTE]
Future Windy!
Hopefully you've continued with college and kicked the shit out of that second year project. Hopefully you have also gotten into University but no worries if you don't, we can try again with learning stuff by ourselves with self study and such. This might be a good/the best opportunity to work on the universe you want to share to the world. At least make a good start on AMFAR.
When you read this, you will have been in the new house for nearly a year already. How are you enjoying the room? Is it structured the way you wanted it?
Have you pasted your practical driving test in 2015? If not, you have another year to do so and if you still havent. Your going to have to do your theory again, let's not do that shit again.
Just keep doing what your doing. You've made huge leaps over the past few years and you have to continue. We arent fucking around any longer now. Take care of your friends as usual and try and not to be a cunt to anyone. That's all i really ask for.
Past (2015) Windy

[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;43377099]Dear 2015 self,
First of all I didn't think I could get sexier but [I]DAMN[/I] SON
Second, you best have done something about that lovely lady who's taken a liking to you. And I sure hope you've got more old cameras in that collection of yours. 13 just isn't enough.[/QUOTE]
First things first, pal, she hadn't taken a liking to me. You were just deluded. Great job wasting four months on that. Although 2014 wasn't [I]all[/I] bad, you had a sorta-kinda-almost relationship with a girl, which was nice. Also, yes, I did get more cameras. I'd say 113 is enough.
So, 2016 me,
You're a college boy now, aren't ya? Let's hope you made some new friends. And a girlfriend. Finally.
Also, was it FDU, WPU, or neither?
Dear zombie_2371
If you have not yet done so, you should put your plan for world domination into action. And get some pussy. Bitches love emperor dick.
Sincerely, a better you.
Hey future me, I hope you have found a new job by now, if not, please cease living. Thanks.
Hey.
Still in [B]graduate school[/B] for Computer Science? ____. Can't say I blame you if you decide to leave. Did you get an internship at Sandia? ____. I hope so. That seems like the kind of place to work if you don't get your Master's.
If you manage to read this in a year, I assume things [B]haven't really changed much[/B]. Probably still managing a Sandbox server. Did you ever get around to expanding into Flood or other gamemodes? ____. Were you ever able to make any sort of living from continuing to develop? ____.
If all of the above fell through the gaps, did you end up[B] finding something better[/B]? ____. Knowing you, I doubt it. But who knows.
Any unexpected [B]health problems[/B] discovered after reviewing the results of the blood work? ____. I bet you'll have a fun whole year dealing with them. I'd be pretty disappointed if none of your bad habits changed.
I hope the [B]Ireland trip[/B] was a blast (and worth all the money...). Speaking of money, you probably still [B]don't care[/B] about it, right? ____.
Here's to a year of surprises and hopefully better results. If not, there's always [B]next year[/B].
Happy New Year, 2015.
[QUOTE=Mr. Bleak;43388095]Dear 2015 Mr. Bleak:
Did you end up moving to The Philippines? If so, how's that going?
How's school?
Working anywhere?
Meeting new people and enjoying your life?
Drinking/doing drugs less? Yeah it's fun, but let's grow up a little this next year yeah?
I wish you the best.[/QUOTE]
Finances fell through so I stayed here and ended up finishing my freshman year at a community college before moving to Washington for a month and fucking up miserably.
Worked at a dental office and currently an optical lab which, despite pretty abysmal pay, is fucking awesome.
Met loads of new people, some good and some not so good. Got a girlfriend last night, so that's cool.
Quit drinking a few months ago, drugs followed soon after. Washington fucked a lot of that up for me although I'm doing much better now.
Dear 2016 Mr. Bleak:
Are you pursuing an actual degree yet? Working anywhere? Actually out of that mudhole that you live in?
Keeping up with staying in shape? Swole as fuark yet? I dunno. I have a feeling you're probably pretty happy as things are already looking up. Love you son.
future me:
start doing shit
Dear future self, if you are reading this then you probably failed to invent time travel in the past year. You also forgot to get a life and stayed on Facepunch.
Dear me:
I hope you kept up your grades as that's about the only major achievement you've got at the time of writing. It'd also be nice if you got that lifeguarding job over the summer, and are looking for a real one right now. Mostly stop being a lazy mofo and maybe join the swim team you butt.
Also, I hope TF2 has been ported to Source 2 by now. Prospects are a bit grim for that game as I'm writing this, but it'd suck if such a cool game was abandoned.
Sincerely,
Me
Hey kid. Whatever you're doing, get better at it. And you better know German
Dear future me, please finish the game you are making. You've given up on too much.
Hey future-me, hope you're doing well. Healthy and all that. If not - keep trying, we'll get there in a few years. Maybe you're in the army, if so, well done. If you're studying at an university a congratulations is in order as well.
I do envy you, that Half Life 3 reveal must have been insane. Also hopefully Russia hasn't invaded yet. Though IF they have, I hope that by now you are holed up at some cozy lighthouse island in the middle of a lake, growing a sick beard and waiting for the bastards with a spear.
Hi me. How was 2015?
First off, congratulations are in order. You're still alive, [i]AND[/i] you remembered to check this thread to read this message. #youwinatlife
This year sorta sucked. I hope you're better at stuff and things.
Are you a huge stoner now? You fuckin are, aren't you? Goddammit.
I reeeaaally hope you have a car or something. You better. Or [i]at least[/i] a license.
Do you live alone? If so, fuckin awesome accomplishment, dude. Is it rad? If not, keep working for it.
Please be in a band or something. Or figure out what you want to do or whatever.
Are you still in college? If so, goddammit you idiot, why? And if you're doing awesome, I apologize. Nice job.
Finding a romantic partner might be nice. Idk. Did you?
Ugh. Do you feel like I'm a complete idiot? You do, don't you?
FUN FACTS ABOUT 2014 YOU: You have a 100 dollar bill in your wallet. You just got stoned for the first time a few days ago. Your current favorite band is My Chemical Romance. You are currently wearing your awesome 21 Pilots bracelet. Your last crush was that actress chick. You still call people chicks.
P.S. did you try Youtube? How did that go? It was embarrassing, wasn't it? Dummy. Still, it's cool you tried.
Hey future me!
I hope you're deployment is going well! Have you asked that certain someone out yet? I hope you did..
Any other news from the past 12 months would be much appreciated!
Keep doing well at classes dude, and i hope to god you actually get that date (stop being a pussy). Better have finished the last couple episodes of Breaking Bad, and finished a bunch of games on Steam. Hopefully you worked on losing weight, and getting into that WWI French Impression.
probably didn't finish programming a single meaningful game/project yet
Sup future me. I hope you've got more friends.
Dear Future Agent Cobra
Shit, you've left uni now. You better have done well or I'm gonna wreck your shit! I'm proud of you for finding someone you care about lots, hope things are still going well too!
Hope you've got a job or you're working on a game of some sort.
Maybe the consumer version of the Rift is out now, hope it's fun, though after working on Nix, you've lost a lot of hype for it now.
Did your sweet UE4 mechanic work out? Is that game in the making or released? Did you scrap it?
I hope things are going well, and all in all make sure you are taking care of yourself.

Things I want to see out of you in a year.
Ripped as fuck. [b]Not really, but I'm more so than last year.[/b]
Girlfriend (I'll settle for ex, or at the very least get laid). [b]Congratulations, you now have a girlfriend of 6 months[/b]
Lots of cool friends. [b] I have a few cool new friends who live far away....[/b]
Finished the uni year with flying colours and a kickass short film. [b]Yeah finished with flying colour, and I'm pretty happy with how the film turned out.[/b]
Spend less time on the computer. [b]Ehhhhh. Yeah I probably do[/b]
Do you have a PS4? No plans so far, running a bit low on money. But you never know. [b]lol I'm rich as fuck now. Got a PS4 a couple of months ago. Just spent a few hours on FarCry 4.[/b][/QUOTE]
Alright 2016 Darcy.
Have you moved out yet? You can't still be living with mum. Hopefully it's a bitchin apartment or something. With a decent roommate.
Hopefully your new full time job is still enjoyable. With any luck you're editing a bit at least?
How are you and Eliza? Still going strong? We're seeing each other a hell of a lot at the moment. Halfway through season 3 of Stargate.
No word yet on what's happening with uni this year. So your guess is as good as mine.
You better have some cool friends that you hang out with a lot. And at least keeping in contact with Alex and other uni peeps.
Bit of an update on myself. Just bought Far Cry 4. Just started A Dance With Dragons (Is Winds of Winter any good? Also how was Season 5 of GOT?)
Seeing Eliza tomorrow night. I still haven't unpacked any boxes. Just bought a bunch of cool new shoes, so treat them well. I'm super into Lil Dicky at the moment. Just blasting his songs on repeat in the car. You better have downloaded some decent songs this year.
Alright, have a good'n.
I hope you got a girlfriend at least you autistic cunt.
Hey, me.
You're going through some shit right now. You got a date tomorrow, I wonder how that'll go for you? If you're still together by this point next year, you owe yourself a full liter of your drink of choice. If not, a few sorrow shots will do.
Courts in about 3 and a half weeks on the 26th of this month. Good luck kid. Either you're walking a free man or you're going to have to drastically change your life. I hope you look back on this post in a year from now, hell a month from now, and laugh it up because you were shittin' some srs brix.
Stop chainsmoking all the damn time. That one speaks for itself.
Be a better person in 2015 and be the best you can in 2016. Start somewhere at least. You were a miserable sod in 2014. Never go back to that. Keep improving.
I hope you learned to let go of the stress and made the most out of 2015. It's gonna be a long rollercoaster ride of it's up's and down's. Make it a good one. No more fuckups. Put on your game face, walk out of that courtroom, and embrace the 2nd shot at life that so many people don't get a chance to enjoy.
P.S. You're a fucking genius. Get 'yer goddamn doctorate. Don't bail on yourself after these 2 years. Get the fucking doctorate. Get it. Go. Be someone.
