2021 Goals (Day 4057 - 1/2/21)

Previous Vlog (Day 4056) | Next Vlog (Day 4058)

Stephen introduces the vlog stating that while traditionally Mallory and himself normally talk about their goals and resolutions on the first day of the year, they did not talk about them yesterday and would like to talk about them today.

Mal starts of by saying that she would like to use the Cobalt Flux dance pad more now that they have it. Stephen mentions that they've both gotten more exercise in 2020 because they started playing Ring Fit Adventure and began to start taking walks more, but now that they have the dance pad, they'll be able to do more intense workouts more often.

Stephen goes on to say that the big goal for this year would be to finish his backlog of projects, the only project remaining being the 2018 vlogs. In 2020, Stephen caught up with the current timeline as well as finishing the Fallout 4 LP. He continues to say that once he's done with the 2018 vlogs, he would like to stream more solo games on Twitch as opposed to just streaming First20s. By streaming on Twitch, they were able to get ahead on content to release on StephenPlays, but they'll still be releasing more on demand content similar to Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Another benefit that came from having more content to release, they were able to take more time off from working and they wish to continue to be able to take more time off in 2021. Stephen also mentions that they were able to eat more healthily in 2020 while Mal states that she misses being able to get fresh food from the store. Another thing that Mal wanted to do in 2020 was to replace their previous car with a new one which they did.

Stephen asks Mal what she would like to do in the second half of 2021, and she replies by saying that she would like to go see family. She specifically talks about how she would like to visit Mark and Rhonda, who bought a new house in Florida, Mal's Grandma, Karley, and Kyle. They would also like to visit Alex and Hayley, who they last saw in Japan. Stephen points out that all Mal mentioned was seeing people, something they lacked doing in 2021. He goes on to say that despite seeing Dan, Lindsey, Chaz, and Jeff this year, as well as seeing Dan and Lindsey regularly, they mention that it's not the same. Stephen would like to go on another road trip while Mal mentions that she would like to go back to New York while he would like to go back to Japan, but points out that he would like to see friends and family the most.

Stephen then states he would like to hear from the viewers and know what they would like to do for their resolutions/goals. He adds to that by saying that a lot of people took up journaling because Mal had done so, and it's something she wishes to continue doing. Another goal that Stephen wants to take on would be to watch more movies and he plans to watch one tomorrow but they need to first clean the house.
