Current Events > Plans for the night?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Gonna stay home and get drunk, while my cat watches me.

Fuck 2024, and fuck 2025 too in advance.

Same as any other Tuesday. My normal weekend days off are Monday and Tuesday. I grocery shopped yesterday so today is a full day of just relaxing at home. Tonight Ill watch the college football playoff game and then tv the rest of the night. Tomorrow is back to work. Normal schedule.

Sleep.

I've never done anything for New Years and never been to a party for it. I'll probably be in bed reading or playing something on Steam.

Maybe have a drink or two, be in bed by 1030.

Head out to my SIL for the annual Rock Band party.

Celebrate New Years with my neighbor. We agreed to celebrate when it hits midnight on the East coast cause neither of us want to stay up til midnight.

Blood

Lots of glorious blood

in God of War: Ragnarok

I'm just going over to my buddies place later on tonight to hang out and drink in the garage. I think there's gonna be 7 or 8 people.

Nothing special but it should be a good time.

First time since 2015 that I am not going out, because even in 2020 I went to a bonfire.

My wife and I will just stay in, and start Squid Game season 2. She also really wants to see The Handmaiden, which I have seen before.

I am also about to start Stellar Blade, so I guess my New Year's is all about South Korea.

pretty much same as every night. play videogames alone, listen to my parents bicker at each other over arbitrary, petty bullshit, start nodding off around 10, be in bed by 11.

work

I'm making a sous vide pair of steaks for me and my wife with a side of twice baked potatoes and veggies (cauliflower and broccoli). Got a bunch of appetizers like pretzels and dumplings as well. Then we're gonna watch a few movies, drink champagne and whiskey, eat food and ring in the new year. Nothing real fancy, no party and no other people.

Hopefully sleeping.

Real question. Do you think it would be just better if they were divorced?

I used to argue with my ex wife all the time, and being married simply sucked ass.

By contrast, my current wife and I almost never argue.

Gonna play Elden Ring with my boy Coco

basically same as any Tuesday

Nothing. Because I never do anything.

that's just not feasible at this point. they are both on SSI and neither one can afford to live without the other. my dad is very old and has a lot of health issues and he wouldn't be able to get by without my mom, as much as they irritate each other.

it would have been better if they had separated 20 years ago maybe.

Watching football and the Twilight Zone.

Staying home. My wife's brother and SIL and our nephew are coming over. I think some other of her family are too. I'm just going to have snacks and some drinks and watch TV probably.

That's a shame. I used to be much more about "making it work" but I am now very pro-divorce if people aren't happy for an extended amount of time.

Oh, one other thing about my plans tonight. Gonna have Champagne and a few beers, then I am doing Dry January so no more alcohol for awhile.

I don't really care about the New Years Eve parties. So I'm probably gonna play some more It Takes Two with my girlfriend. We finally started it on Sunday and it's been a lot of fun. I'll also see if she wants to order pizza or something.

Im not doing shit tonight per usual.

Making friends post college feels impossible especially when youre looking for people around your own age.

Meetup works well. I would also advise not focusing on age too much. My friends range from 20 years younger to 10 years older.

I had no local friends in early 2017 and changed that pretty quickly with Meetup and just hanging out at nearby places and being open to conversations.

Supposed to be taking my lass out drinking, but weather looks shite tonight, so, we might put it off till the weekend

Well she just woke up sick as hell so now I don't know >_>

Here here, I definitely need to do this. Time to shape my ass up it's been a bad six months.

Few beers and watch Jools Holland.

I wish I could watch that live. Always gotta wait until later for the episodes to hit here. Anyone good tonight? He usually has some great NYE guests.

I turned down two house parties that are about an hour away to go to a gamer house party only about 20 minutes away. It's with friends I'm less close to, but that way I can leave easily whenever I want. Going to bring over my Steam Deck and a portable dock to have people play F-Zero GX.

Some drinking and playing Xenoblade 2

Mourn the loss of America as a free country and the many lives that will be lost in the upcoming year(s).

Hemming and Hawing going to a local barcade downtown. Like Dave and Busters but a lot smaller and with more of a retro fixation.

Apparently Boomtown Rats are on, which should be pretty great.

Buddy of mine is just having friends and family for some dinner and drinks

Pretty much this. Maybe a little less depressed but still pessimistic. Could've spent NYE at a friend's place, but chose to stay at home, mainly because this is the first NYE for my cats, and I don't want them to be scared of the fireworks (and where I live, people in general are goddamn terrorists when it comes to fireworks at NYE), so I hope my being home helps them to stay calm.

Not much. Put my kids to bed at around 22:00 then just sit on the sofa watching Penguin or Squid Game.

Just going to be my usual awesome self

Might be some VR fun going on.

Gonna hang out with my fiance.

None atm. I was hoping to hang out with my buddy, but I did that earlier today, so I might just fill up the jacuzzi tub, cook up a feed of Ginger Beef and Rice, and finish 100%ing Astrobot.

Its a bit hard in my area at the moment since most of the meetups that interest me are outdoor activities but Im really not interested in going on a hike when its below 30 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Spring or summer absolutely when its nice outside.

I am watching this LSU game, then Im gonna make a booze run, come home and take a shower. Watch the first half of the Fiesta Bowl, then head to a house party. Gonna get super drunk and eat some hibachi shrimp, steak, and chicken tacos.

Teach my mom how to play D&D... The maybe Balatro...

So I did end up cooking!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/ccb2aeed.jpg

Two NY strips, done sous vide style then ending with a two minute high temperature sear on each side. Twice baked potatoes with bacon and cheese and sour scream and onion, and broccoli and cauliflower with butter and oil and some bacon grease from the potatoes.

Honestly? Think I'm going to bed after this lol
