MCB New Years 2026 Resolutions Thread

[waffles2]

• Call my friends and family more. Texting and social media are overrated (I dropped all social media last year).
• Be intentional with my time. That means less time on the internet and more time outdoors.
• Less drugs and alcohol. 2025 was really good to me and I want to keep that going.
• Travel less for work. I set my schedule but over do it sometimes.
• Bake more bread and sweet treats for me and the neighbors. Community is important to me.
• More live music than last year.
• Walk the west highland way in Scotland with my sister. She lives in Glasgow and I don’t see her often.
• Put plans into motion to (1) move back to Europe and (2) invest in a retirement property, possibly with my sister.

- civilize my mind
- make savage my body
- continue to reject capitalism / bask in minimalism
- show my friends a never tiring affection
- instill courage always
- reflect inward every night, always apologize and make good on my errors

[Fossilhead]

Keep a chronograph an entire year without selling it.

[Jordan]

I'm going to Slim's in 2026. At least once.

[Jordan]

Riot - i think I'll try for that one.

[Riot]

Well sir… you’ve got one more opportunity.

[Jordan]

Riot - I'm planning for September's meet-up. A few potential obstacles in the way, we'll see how it goes.

[Sdawg]

Stop running out into the open without knowing where my opponents are and getting shot into the ground.

[Dkg_PB]

Personal things: Drop about 30lbs, drink more water and less caffeine/soda and (this one may sound dumb) start putting myself out there more to meet new friends and people in general. I honestly have a hard time making friends with people outside of paintball and trap shoots.

Paintball related: Play more pump now that I have my build finished and play more rec ball/big games with my little cousin now that he's playing.

[Riot]

Going into the new year I don’t necessarily have specific resolutions, but the idea of 2026 is going to be to apply pressure.

I’ve laid the groundwork and now it’s time to force the results.


Health:
- Gym consistency
- Alcohol moderation
- Social Media moderation
- Diet
- At least one 5k
- Floss more regularly


Work:

- Establish my rights the highest position.
- Get back closer to home, ASAP.
- Break into the world of real estate.
- Save Money



Fun/Extra Curricular:

- Continue to Hike
- Continue to Create (art, etc)
- Camp
- Skate. (Specifically, Ollie up a curb in motion)
- Try to find new social circles. (Leagues, clubs, etc)
- Read
- Shoot

Other:
- Be on time. (Not sure when I lost this, but im never on time.)
- Continue Duolingo (day 320 now)
- Nightly to-do list. (Help stay organized)

Paintball Specific:

- Continue to sell
- Turn “Totally Clips of the Heart” into a reality(magfed game)
- Play at a new field
- Host Pump up the Ridge III & Pistols Only
- Continue to solidify my gear load outs.
- Host the new 2026 MOTM.
- Play at a new field
- Have the lightest mag
- Maybe, maybe, tackle a new build.

'not going' is consistent... considering I've lost count this evening-morning, you lost me at the second one. Power to you tho - that's a big, audacious but achievable list.

[Riot]

Ha! ‘Round is a shape’!
“Big & audacious” is the name of my porno flick.

I just added more too.

…Stay tuned, I got this.

[cockerpunk]

i pulled the ace of swords for my new years tarot, so, this year is gonna be a pistol. and i am gonna be *full* of opinions.

[Jordan]

So, same same?

[flyweightnate]

I'm not much of a "resolution" guy, as I try to take on challenges as they come, but two are front of mind and a year is as good a timeline as any:

I want to compete at 168 in a BJJ tournament. Novice class as I've only been "back" for about 4 months after a decade hiatus (and was a novice when I stopped, too), but doing a weigh-in at 168 in a gi would mean 5-10lbs dropped, and I'm thinking I'll need some cardio/ weight training before that too.

I have a cool valve idea I've been working on, got it "working", but the thing put a reball through my wall so it needs some fine tuning. I'd love to finish it up this year.

Jeff Manion wrote a book - "Dream Big, Think Small" - that describes an approach I like better than one big resolution. Instead, it's focusing on making small, wise decisions with forethought, daily, and allowing the compounding effect to eventually create a grand result. (Not too different from Henry Hazlitt, a century earlier.) It's more important to say "I'll hit the gym tonight even though it's Friday and I'm feeling sluggish", than say "I'll win a tournament." And man... those Friday night sessions have had some good stuff that I'm sure will come in handy at an eventual tournament.

[flyweightnate]

... and got my knee goofed. So recovery first, tournament later.

This is why I don't do resolutions.

[jimmy83]

-paintball 1x/month
-burp less (my wife says I do this too much)
-read more
-play guitar more
-learn a new language

if I do 2 of these I’ll be pretty proud!

[DocsMachine]

I have poor success with "resolutions", in large part because I have so many calls to my attention. Last year wasn't too bad, but I went off the rails by summertime.

This year, I have two... well, not 'resolutions', they're merely goals. The first is to simply do better this year, and the other is to try to end said year with at least a little more money in the bank than it started with.

Doc.

[shocker_monkey]

My main goal this year is to stop buying video games that I'm not going to immediately play. My backlog is huge, and is only getting bigger instead of shrinking. I need to be better about playing stuff I already have.

[StaticShocked]

I am pretty bad about this Oh, look! Steam says some games from my wishlist are on sale...

[RPP]

I just bought the Batman Arkham series... at least i downloaded it lol.

[Riot]

Well, when you’re ready offload anything old-school… let me know.

[cougar20th]

For myself,

• Get back into shape. Like to loss 30 pounds, work on cardio as well.
• Use time better. I find im spending to much time sitting doing nothing.
• Get some projects done that have already taken far to long

paintball

• Keep spending in check, buy less
• Get rid of some stuff I'm not using.
• Remember that Riot's truck isn't for parts disposal
• Play atleast one random walkon day. Been over a decade since I've done that.

Ditto! Waffled far too much in 2025.

[the_matrix_guy]

Less alcohol, more plates (weight training)
