...Yeah, I'm just a random guy who wants to tell you it's my birthday today! :)

...I also know I'm not well known around this page.

...I haven't contributed in a significant way to be recognized heavily (By contributing, I mean, implementing something that might change SG for good).

...I don't have special skills to show off what I can do for the community to notice me.

But I'm happy to be myself, nonetheless! :)

Now, at my 24 years old, I've grown up knowing many things about life, so... I would like to share to you what I think on SG.

First of all... The site is... filled with dark... So much dark... SG is supposed to be about charity, about giving away to others, not caring if your games are being played, or not... Or if your games end up being used for the cards.

If they aren't played, I don't mind at all, really... If they are used for the cards, it's their loss if they don't want to play an amazing game, right?

Also, one has to be very careful on your own ratio (Real CV is the one everybody should care), or else, you'll be classified as a leecher.

Wait, hold on right there...

Why I would be a leecher because of MY luck? Do I commit a crime if I want a game, and then I win it? Since you might be a person with a better ratio than a winner with a worse ratio... Do YOU deserve that game more than that person?

See what I mean? You could give away a ton of games for Real CV, but once you go beyond what you have given away for Real CV, you are then classified as a leecher... What happened to my contributions? Are they suddenly invalidated because I won more than I've given away? Can't you wait until I start giving away again?

Yes, I'm a poor guy... Yes, I sometimes do sacrifices to give, even the most cheap of the games, since I don't win as much as want... And yes... I need most of that money for my own family and for myself... Even though I would love to give 50 Fallout 4's to everybody... I really can't...

Yes... There's so much dark in the site... And about the nomination thing...

It's just for a little giveaway! There are so many more out there! You just need to work harder in how you communicate with people! Make friends! Make contacts! Make people happy! Then you'll eventually join up in a good group where you can give away games for games of WAY less entries than public giveaways, or even private giveaways. THAT... THAT RIGHT THERE... Is the secret to win as many games as you want. There's no secret super complicated formula to success in the site. That's the only way to make it around the site. And I'm always grateful for reaching where I am.

Don't feel bad because you weren't chosen... Instead, be grateful that you even have a family that cares about you, and only you. Don't start dumb stuff around here, when you aren't looking at yourself. Look at your son/daughter, tell him/her how much you love him/her, and tell him/her that they are the best things that happened in the world. In other words, for your family, you'll always be N°1. :)

But... There's so much light as well! There's so much support for people around here who are having a bad time.

There are people who cares about each other, who have made friends, who have found others with mutual feelings about certain activities.

There are extremely helpful people around here, WAY helpful than I'll ever be in a life-time.

You can even confide us your secrets, so we can cheer you up or have a shoulder to cry.

There are people who DO give away because they want to, not to check up in a certain person is going to play that game to keep him in his "kool kids" list.

I don't want you to sympathize with me because it's my birthday... You can even blacklist me for telling my opinion around, because why not? I deserve it for opening my mouth, while you prefer to keep it shut and be safe from the blacklisting, right?

sigh

I'm sorry... I guess it's pretty unusual for a birthday thread to be like this... But I wanted to share with you my opinion on the site as a special occasion.

But let's end it here, alright?

I'll post a couple of giveaways around here, so you guys can enter! No puzzles, no special requirements, nothing... Just the act of having visited my thread is enough to enter :)

Happy birthday! I remember you "loadsamoney" guy, haven't seen you on the forum much lately though.

I don't care what people do with crappy games, some games are just terrible and shouldn't be played. But if it's a good game and they don't even attempt to play it, that makes me sad. What's the point of just adding games to your library? Just so you can see a meaningless number increase or make some lousy cents from a game? To me that doesn't make sense, I don't blame the people who do that, I just don't understand it. It makes me sad that someone could have really enjoyed that game, instead of it just sitting unused in someone's library, never to be played. It's like giving a gift to a friend and they don't even unwrap it and just put it away somewhere. But as you said there are more important things in life and I won't lose any sleep over it.

I hope you had a nice birthday ^^

Yeah, there are amazing games that aren't even played, because they have a backlog to complete... Eventually, they forget they even have that game and stop playing, which is still very sad, indeed :(

Thank you for your wishes! Always welcome them! :)
