User blog comment:Chilly Bean BAM!/2019: The Good & Bad Qualities/@comment-2189621-20191220045614

2019... another year that had more bad than good, in my opinion. Just like 2018 before it. And 2017 before that. And especially 2016 before that. *Sigh* the second half of this decade has not been kind to us, has it? Speaking of, it's pretty surprising to me that the end of the decade is coming so soon. I spent over half of my life in this decade, and I've changed a lot between 2010 and 2019. Such a big era for me is finally coming to a close... and 10-year-old me couldn't possibly have thought that I'd have this little hope for the next decade, but here we are. This one has left me so very cynical.

As for 2019 itself... *Sigh* can't say I enjoyed it. Gaming has done little to impress me, outside of the DLC fighters in Smash, as well as SMM2. Pokémon's effectively dead to me now, too. Animation hasn't done much to impress me either. The movies that Rocko's Modern Life and Invader Zim got look good, but I have no memories associated with either show, so I can't say much about those, and Hazbin Hotel was absolutely abysmal. And the amount of disasters that happened here is dumbfounding. The burning of the Amazon rainforest broke my heart especially. The only thing I enjoyed out of this year is getting into Puyo Puyo, but that's just a personal experience.

Overall, just another year, another misery. I'm expecting little out of 2020. If it's bad, then I won't be as disappointed, and it'll further prove my point that pessimism is synonymous with realism. If it's actually good, I'll be pleasantly surprised, and it might even make me a bit cheerier.
