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.

Bump for making this awesome thread. I hope others find it as awesome as I did, and even find it useful.

Here's something cute
Here's something funny (NSFW not really-ish)
Here's something artistically awesome
Here's something cool and something else cool I tried for awhile, but I couldn't find the Pogo stick video I was licking for. It consisted of people doing pogo stick tricks way up high in the sky on a big red... (electrical?) tower thing... it was featured on the PDS maybe... yeah, if you know what video I'm talking about, please comment a link to it, thanks!

I hope I could brighten your day with my collection of awesome internet findings! You're a BAMF, DesertMouse1!

Thank you for bringing this up. My case is particularly mild anymore, but I used to really struggle. I have a spare key I was going to give away but was too lazy to ever create a giveaway, so I'll put it up here!

The most likely reason is failing a reading comprehension test giveaway, and just commenting thanks. I'm not that big a jerk about it, since it's only to block out people who use scripts to enter, and if you read the forums, you're not my target anyway, so I'll remove you from the blacklist.

Some advice if you have firearms in the house, and you're in this state of mind unload them and keep the ammunition separate. Doing this, it may save your life as it has for others.

Very good advise. It seems there's a strong link between access to guns and suicide rate.

I mean it's made for killing so it's an excellent tool for that reason.

I was reading this article about a study which concluded that depression (or at least, being alone) could possibly lead to addiction (usually drugs). It showed how humans are so socially-dependent that they develop addiction when they become TOO alone.

SAUCE

show some luv.

Here's my humble contribution

And thanks for the kind gesture. It is difficult for people who suffer from depression to find someone whom they can have a sane conversation with about the subject.
