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: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/0evEo/an-update-and-moving-forward

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 don't mean to say your intentions are wrong. It's just me, I am weird at everything :P

I never understand these uh.. things people do for something.
I have seen banners that say "5k run for autism awareness"
How does a 5k run bring autism awareness?
And other similar "march for so and so".. how do they help?

How does making giveaways help those who are depressed and/or suicidal?

I don't mean to offend anyone, nor do I intend to mock anyone... I apologize if that is how I came across but I seriously thing what I just wrote everytime I see something like it.

Edit: How do I hide text.. uh.. spoiler texts? couldn't find in the format thread

I see... It does make sense but I am not sure if it really helps.
I hope it helps someone at least I guess.
Edit: So, i made a giveaway, because why not.

I think this is about make people feel recognised. Saying we know you are there even if we can't reach you with personally we will think you exist. That's imo especially in depression is a good thing. One other perspective seeing that it's not only you but other people feel that may help you overcome. But i think in handicapped people part it is about us. For example the run makes you realize you live with people like that and society need to accept some rules to make it easier for that people and their families. That comes with again recongnition. Choosing to ignore is always easier for people but helping each other even a little can make a lot of difference. I won't judge anyone who disagree with this cause we live in a cruel world. I may sound optimistic i agree with that too.

Sometimes there are people who wish they were actually alone and there wasn't anyone who cared.

I don't trust all the people I run into, because of past experiences or because of past err.. knowledge.. It's hard to tell who needs help and who doesn't. Of course, in this age you can't help without them thinking you are either creepy or have a selfish reason behind it. or the people you help just end up being fakes.

Yeah, yeah, I'll necro a conversation because i'm seeing it for the first time. First off, ~this is how you do spoilers~, it looks like this. Secondly, Coming from a second-hand prospective, the thing that was bothering said person was that she thought that nobody cared for her, and she felt she was essentially alone, despite the facts to the contrary. In that sense, I didn't intend for somebody to get "better" by reading this, but knowing that somebody out there gives a damn has helped quite a few people that I've come across, even for a moment. It was also meant as a reminder to those that don't deal with these problems, and, having never experienced it, don't understand, or even see it, but realizing you don't have to understand it to help, you just have to be there.

As for the GA's, it's a well established rule that nobody reads a thread without a GA in it. That's why my original one was there. As for the other 600+, I never once asked for anybody else to create them for the thread. They just did. The reason why I put the name of the creator there in the post instead of the game is so that you can see at a glance that people care. It's not really about the game. Just the fact that somebody is there for you can be comfort.

I got the spoiler figured out by re-reading the comment formatting thread once dakata353 linked me to it, thanks though :3

It is nice of you (and the rest) to make yourself available to people in need... Maybe it will help someone, I agree with that.
I guess the people here are too nice to just forget what you said and move on :P
I understood why you wrote the names, I just didn't want mine because I don't deserve to be among ask these good people :x

Although I am not the best option, I am good at listening and i am always available if anyone wants to talk (i mean, when i am online). I accept all friend requests as well.

I agree that most people need someone that cares about them, I wish there was nobody who cared about me so I could just die... I don't think I have the courage to kill myself though x3

Some Game
I was actually saving this for later because I can't afford to buy any games for who knows how long. I guess there isn't any better moment for it.

Please don't write my name if the link is added to the first post. Thanks
(yes, I am aware you can see it if you visit the link)
