After going through a recent event where someone very close to me was feeling depressed and suicidal, thought I'd make some GA's to get a point across. If you are feeling this way, there is help, and people out there want to help. You're not alone and you are cared about. If you are not of this state of mind, realize that you could be the difference between them getting help, or doing the unthinkable. You will most likely never know how, who, or how many you helped, but that should make no difference. It just matters that you were there. Go and be the best you that you can be. If anyone out there needs someone, i accept all steam friend requests and will reply as soon as i see your message.

Try and keep the thread alive for a while so that more can see it. May i suggest pictures of cats? Anything really.

I'm going to attempt to update this thread once again once a week, between Friday and Sundays.

EDIT: If you choose to bump with a GA, especially a higher level, and wish for it to be featured on the active GA portion, I suggest a week or longer running length. It can sometimes be a number of days before I can edit this to add new GA's. It's also super helpful if it's in

`[Your Name Here](Profile URL)` | `[Your GA Here](Link to GA here)` | Date Ending

formatI'm switching to a table format. Not required, but it would let me update the main post more, as it currently takes a while, which means less updates.

EDIT: Total number of GA's added to thread as of last update- 1687+
Note that this is likely much higher. From pages 54-94, I assume all trains to contain only 3 games, while they are likely much higher in number.
GA log of past record

I'm no longer going to keep a detailed log of past GA's. It was simply too much work.

The following, continuously updated, users are the real VIP's of this thread. They have contributed to the development of this ever growing thread, either through exceptional giveaways, an exceptional amount of giveaways, or relentlessly bumping the topic, even when it is/was in a period of disarray, and I wanted to thank them for it, not to cheapen anybody else that has contributed, but to celebrate them for it. Treat them kindly.

I really love your message and people need what you are doing, it may not seem like much but it really does help people with depression or suicidal tendencies as person who went through depression long ago I know that this helps even if I do not see you in person. I thank you for this noble cause and all the people who support it.

Oh god, I feel really ungrateful and disrispectful, now that I won and read the thread. :(

4 years ago I was really depressed and faked happiness with everyone just to feel better knowing that I managed to make someone else a little happier with some jokes. I didn't even feel close to happiness, I was just pretending to be.
I eventually found a person to love, one I could never even expect to have close to me.

The point is you can never know who will help you. Sadly, sometimes there's no one coming thee and help you.
Probably you're making someone's day happier, maybe you're saving a life, probably nobody will ever know.
Maybe you're going to be that person for someone.

You are definitely going to be in my long-term slow-built whitelist, maybe someday I'll make you happier with a surprising happy cat in space like you did today. :)

(And sorry for my probably bad english. :'( )

It's not always easy to admit when we need help, but it is always the best idea to tell someone, whether it be a family member, friend, or someone else you respect and trust.

I have experienced the pain of losing a good friend to suicide and have also plumbed the depths of depression myself.

It may not seem like it, but there is always hope.

This isn't much but here's a tiny DLC giveaway to promote this thread:

As ridiculous as this sounds, the few times I've thought about the subject of suicide, I realize that there are still too many games I want to play before I leave this world...

If anything you need more than one life time for that :)

and i don't think that sounds ridiculous. usually when someone is at a low point in his life it's the little things that keeps you going.
