Year-End Summary for 2023
nova的2023年终总结主要分为游戏、生活和旅游三个部分。
在游戏方面，nova回顾了一年来玩过的各种游戏，包括《赛博朋克2077》、《艾尔登法环》和《死亡搁浅》等3A大作，但由于无法沉浸其中，这些游戏都没有坚持到结局。他也提到手游方面《明日方舟》和《原神》等，因各种原因都A了。nova接下来的期望是减少玩游戏的时间，特别是CS2，计划在24年减少游戏时间，尝试更沉浸地玩一些主机游戏。
生活方面，nova表示对自己今年的态度主要是逃避，但也尝试了改善其中的一些问题。通过健身找到了不少正反馈，并计划继续坚持下去。同时，他也提到需要更多参与社交活动，以扩展社交圈。
在旅游方面，2023年nova去了很多地方，包括南京、成都、兰州、上海、新疆以及首次出国去了新加坡。 虽然主要是因比赛原因出行，但这些经历也带来了不同的体验。
2023年对nova来说并不充实，但却是非常有意义的一年，他希望通过以上的回顾和反思，更好地规划未来的一年。
Due to various considerations, I have hidden the two articles, "2023 Mid-Year Summary" and "2023 Mid-Year Summary - Continued".
Although it is only mid-December of 2023, I am about to start preparing for year-end exams and may not have much free time ahead, so please forgive me for this early summary haha.
My original plan was to develop a fancy sharing plugin to elegantly share long screenshots, but obviously, it has been put on hold.
TL;DR
2023 has been an extremely special year for me, marking the beginning of "building social connections with the world". Throughout this year, I have had many new and exciting experiences and done many things that are meaningful to me (even though I've also done many meaningless things haha). Regrettably, in terms of self-improvement, this year has not been as successful as I hoped. Therefore, if I were to evaluate it myself, this year was clearly not "fulfilling" but rather "meaningful." In the following sections, you will read about my year from different perspectives.
Gaming
Summary
Another year of electronic gaming, and I often wonder why I have such good equipment. I have tried various AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Death Stranding, etc., but I have not managed to finish any of them (laughs). I found myself unable to immerse in single-player games. Even if the storyline is top-notch, I can't resist drowsiness and eventually forget to continue playing. It's a painful thing for someone who loves games (self-proclaimed) to not enjoy the ninth art form. Compared to previous years, I even lost interest in buying games. I used to say, "I spent money to buy games, and now I have to spend time playing them?" This excuse no longer works this year. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
As for mobile games, I have almost achieved top rankings in all of them, except for Arknights, which is barely surviving with Maintenance Assisted Auto-play (MAA). I no longer delve into the background of game characters or pay attention to the storyline. Genshin Impact became unappealing to me due to its high costs for each character. I tried Honkai Impact 3rd but didn't enjoy that game type, so I rated it as well. My gaming expenses have significantly decreased, and since I don't have to work anymore, I think it's quite nice.
In terms of online gaming, I sold my APEX account and bought my current laptop. I still play Mirage in CS every day with no improvement. I lost interest in Valorant. I also tried Swords of Legends Online, but it didn't give me the MMORPG feeling I had imagined (similar to when I played FF14). Maybe I just don't like these types of games.
Expectations
I plan to "quit gaming" in 2024, specifically by reducing my time on CS2. Instead, I want to carve out some time to peacefully play AAA games. I recently purchased a PS5 controller (not sure why I didn't buy an Xbox controller; maybe I just find the PS5 controller more visually appealing, and the feedback vibrations are great).
I currently have no plans to buy a console. If I still desire to play games after renting my own place, I might consider it. I don't intend to upgrade any devices in the next year unless necessary. My current configuration and peripherals are sufficient to solve my problems perfectly.
I might consider getting a VR headset, possibly the Quest 3? The Vision Pro seems targeted at a different audience from me, but I would consider it if I were to come into some unexpected wealth.
Lifestyle
Summary
If possible, I would like to go back to middle school and give a slap to my younger self who lounged on a chair all day, urging them to exercise. That way, I wouldn't have to regret the lack of various hormones in the future (laughs).
For most of this year (the first 10 months), I had an avoidance attitude towards it. If I couldn't change it, I didn't want to need it. However, it seems that achieving cyber transcendence is not something that can be done in the short term. I am still unable to live in a virtual world like in "Ready Player One" or similar works. So, I am starting to think about improving these issues. But so far, most methods seem ineffective. I'm not sure if it's because I haven't given them enough time or if I just haven't figured it out yet.
I'll talk about travel separately below.
Expectations
Overall, I plan to stick to my fitness routine. I've felt many positive effects from exercising, so I am unlikely to give up midway. However, as I am not a great absorber, the results may not be very noticeable, which might discourage me. I hope that won't happen.
I also want to engage in more social activities. I still feel somewhat introverted (though I have improved a lot). Participating in some activities can help expand my social circle, and it will also help me accumulate some work experience to prevent future problems with graduation.
Travel
Summary
I have traveled to many places this year: Nanjing, Chengdu, Lanzhou, Shanghai, Xinjiang, and even went abroad for the first time to Singapore.
Most of these trips were for competitions, so I may not have had the opportunity to explore these places fully, but I have experienced them to some extent.
