Well hey there everyone, I hope you’re enjoying all the Game of the Year stuff thus far cause we’ve only got two more days of it to go. It was extremely difficult for me to pull this all together just because despite this being a massive year for video games, not a lot of things really got their hooks into me. Regardless, this isn’t about Game of the Year stuff, more of that is coming tomorrow. Instead, I’d like to get a little sappy here on the last blog of the year.

First, I want to thank each and every single one of you for coming and reading all of our articles, day in and day out. It’s honestly been shocking to see how consistent our readership has been for the past couple of months, and I genuinely appreciate that. The Bonus World is a massive labor of love for me that’s been an incredibly important project for my sanity here in 2020. I don’t know that I could have made it through this year without my hobbies and projects, and this site is at the top of both of those lists.

Secondly, 2020 fucking sucked. It was without a doubt the worst year I’ve ever endured in my life and I’m so glad that I was able to make it through to the other side. Although I don’t want to jinx next year, here’s a preemptive “fuck 2021” just in case. I specifically can’t wait for January 20th when I don’t have to live in a country that’s run by a petulant baby that’s thrashing about in the hopes that someone will pay attention to him, but that’s 21 days away. Till then, I expect a lot more bellyaching and complaining while desperately trying to undermine our democracy, so that’ll be fun. My hope is that Donnie actually refuses to leave the White House so I can have video evidence of that big baby being forcibly removed from the premises.

And lastly, I want to thank everyone who kept me going throughout the year. From the readers of this site that justify my efforts in keeping it going, to my groups of friends/DnD parties that provide me with endless joy on a semi-regular basis, to my partner and my family who are always there for me. 2020 was miserable, and I couldn’t have made it through this year without all of your support.

And with that, I’d like to say goodbye to 2020, and remind everyone that there is a light at the end of the tunnel that will encompass us all on January 20th, 2021. But hey, the main thing I wanted to say is Happy New Year. We’re gonna make it through and we’re going to be okay. Also, wear a fucking mask. How’s that for a New Year’s Resolution?
