TL;DR;

Tell someone you appreciate them. That's all. :)

TL;DR;


Before anyone says anything. I don't want pity, I just want to make someone smile today

So, for as long as I can remember I've been down. I didn't do anything, I would sleep my days away, wouldn't go to school etc. I found this place. A place where I could forget about my life and be someone different. I would laugh and smile, I would be bubbly and stabby and I would be outgoing. I played games with people and talked about everything playful to profound.

Some people stayed and some people left. Some people said goodbye and went on with their life... Some just deleted me and left without a thought.

Things got worse both in my life and on steam. I didn't know where to turn.

Drama happened and I thought I'd lose the one place I can be... Happy.

Yes. I suffer from depression and I'm getting better. I know there are many people on this site who know they are suffering too or maybe they don't know yet.

You might be asking Jaye (chicken) why are you telling people something so personal? I don't know really. All I know is out of all the shit that has been going on there has been good. I want people to know about it.


I here by am doing another nomination thread :)

I want to thank anybody who as been in my life for a second, a few minutes, days, months or years. These people may not have done anything big but they are 5 people I want to say thank you to. There are many others but these are just 5.

TinyPurple - Thank you for making me smile. Asking if I was okay and telling me your story. You care and it makes me happy :)

LadySanta - You sent me a lovely message on my thread and it made me genuinely smile from what you said. We need to play Rocket League very soon. Thank you.

bigbud13 - Thank you for thinking of me to nominate for Delta's thread. It was so unexpected and made me feel like people remember my name and respect me. You probably thought nothing of it but it made me happy.

Khalaq - You've commented a few times on my threads where I mention being "a little sad" and gave me some very good advice and I appreciate it. Recently even your "<3" comments have made me feel appreciated. Thank you for being so kind.

Wallister - You have stuck with me through everything. I don't deserve you but you stay. I love you for everything you do for me. I couldn't ask for anyone better. You always make me smile without fail and have me giggling until 5am. You are the definition of a soul mate. Words don't describe how much you mean to me. Thank you.


So, now its your turn. This isn't a +1 event, or really an event at all. I just wanted you to comment as many people as you want and tell them why you appreciate them in your life. You never know, you might give them one thing to smile about today. No it doesn't need to be someone well known because they gave a good game. I want someone who made you laugh so hard your pee'd yourself a little, someone who listened to you rant about some bitch at work, someone who took time to play a game with you or someone that asked how you were doing randomly.

If you seen anyone mentioned. Why not permalink the comment and show them considering there is no @ system.

Did you make someone smile today?

View Results
Yes :)
No, but I'm going to now :)

Finally a thread where I don't have to pick one person. These are in no specific order, although I had to leave some people out because this post is so long o.o

ShadowShiv: You are friendly, very funny, and someone I consider a friend in the SG community.

PeteOzzy: Pete, you are a a genuinely kind soul that is hard to come by. When I was at a very low because of a family emergency, you did something selfless. You took a huge giveaway you were going to make (Stardew Valley) and gifted it to me in hopes that it would take my mind off things. We had never even spoken once prior to that. After that I saw you giving kind words and gifting to others who couldn't afford a bundle or game they really wanted. If you happen to see this Pete, thanks for being so damn awesome :)

Tchii: Never really talked but I love your trains and your personality. You are a very friendly user on steamgifts and your polite personality is contagious. I also traded with you once or twice :)

Celtic7Guardian: Firstly, thanks for the gifts. They are so much fun. Secondly, thanks for being so awesome. You are friendly and I'm happy you are in my friends list on steam.

robilar5500: Thanks as well for the games, and being an awesome friend on Steam :) also I never told you but I love your icon :p

CowOfDarkness: You are one of those rare people who would have been so many levels higher, but you chose kindness over CV. You are always gifting off steamgifts to make people happy, instead of reaping the benefits on SG. You are kind and it's always fun having a conversation with you.

SadisticChicken: I see you around Steamgifts all the time and you are just an all around great user on here. I added you to my whitelist long ago and you remain as a permanent member on there. Thanks for making this thread :)

Lastly, sorry I left out a lot of you but this was long enough as it is. Thanks for all my whitelist. You are all on there for good reasons.

Exactly, I hate when there is a limit on it because I feel so restricted to choose out of so many people D:

Wow, you have a lot of amazing friends on this site! I'm glad you have them and they share all positive experiences with you! Yay for sharing the love <3

Aww thank you so much for mentioning me! That makes me smile. I always see you around and you are an awesome person <3

I imagine you have 32434096 people to talk to if you choose to, but if you ever wanna talk to anyone on the outside (about important or non-important things) or play a game, let me know. I'll pencil you in.

I hope tomorrow brings good things :-)

Let's start with you, the Sadistic ChicKitten who's probably the best stabby stabber on SG but mostly because even though you have a lot on your plate, you always try to make thread to make other people here feel better. :3

Then, for a non-exhaustive list, I appreciate Nordh, jeffhowe, Golbez, revilheart, Wallister and all the other great puzzle/event makers (sorry I can't quote all your names) that keep this community entertained by giving a lot free time to organize those. I think often people complain that the puzzle/event is this or not enough that to their taste but they forget it took the person a lot of time to make those.

Also, special shoutout to the BLAEO members for being such a positive and drama free community.

Aww thank you, honestly I'm selfish and I'm doing this to make myself feel better. I like seeing other people happy :D

I always look up to event makers, they put so much thought and effort into everything they do. Inspiring really. Exactly, so much time goes into events and puzzles, plus they give to the community so much as well! Amazing people :D

Gotta share the BLAEO love! Awesome motivated people <3

I appreciate people who truly think about the future of humanity, all of humanity, not just the status quo and the middle segment of society.People like Zelghadis, MatrixRaven, and DoctorofJournalism who have all passionately argued, critiqued, and shared outside-the-box thinking on these forums.

Since I usually like to be caustic this'll be tough, but here goes...

@ Sylvanas Windrunner Thanks for all the years of my servitude while you stoically stood in Undercity... then popping up as a great Skyrim mod YAY!! ... What do you mean I need to find a GF? >.<

@ All the people that put up with my Evil comments on the steam activity thread (trentonlf, b3nderz, sloth, crew, khaz, MFrick and everyone else) Love you all, thanks for posting and giving me a forum for my sarcasm :P

@ My whitelist - I can't list you all it's actually over 100 since I decided to focus more on that than the "other" one - a GREAT idea for anyone who isn't doing that BTW... So much less bitterness.

Great thread Chicken, you seem so bubbly all the time on here I never knew you had depression issues... but then, I'm usually also Mr. Oblivious!
I had Sylvanas stop by just for you!

Well, I always put on a smile for everyone. I don't see the point in being negative towards others. My issues are my issues to deal with. Plus, this place is the one place where nobody judges and for the most part are positive so I like to continue that :D

Focusing on the whitelist is SO much more relaxing to yourself than the blacklist. I still HAVE a BL but I hardly pay attention to it.

If I had one piece of advice to those on here that do worry too much about their blacklist or others, I'd tell them to switch their focus, it will make them personally more at ease.

Okay okay okay, here goes. I'm so bad at this sentimental stuff.
There's a lot of people I'm thankful of. I can't possibly write them all down here not even all of the SG people. I'm gonna try and get most of them though! But if you've spent time with me playing games or just talking, I'm thankful of that by itself!

  • Lanny223 thanks for playing games with me and motivating me to keep playing Dark Souls. I love the Dark Souls, but sometimes it just gets so demotivating. You always seem to manage to make me get back into playing it (and help me out when I'm playing it). Also, Broforce was great. IS great. We need to play more! I still find the story of how we became steam friends funny :3
  • MuahahahaMeow I know you've been busy lately, but I always enjoyed when we would talk or play games. Hope we can do so again soon! Good luck with work and all of that :3
  • Teakupo Still superb thankful for that one giveaway you've done! One of my best wins! And Its great we've actually started playing games together too. It's always great fun! You too Doug! Thanks for playing with me/us!
  • Miroe250 Okay, your name just needed to be here. That's it. Bye. Okay okay okay, I'm kidding. Thanks for playing games with me Miroe. I hate playing alone and playing with you is always fun. I don't care if you're good or bad. I don't care if we win or lose. I just like playing games together. Keep rocking! And thanks for nominating me in the deal or no deal thread! Seeing that put a smile on my face! Thanks! :3
  • Tewam Thanks for being awesome! Sometimes you're a tad silly. But in a good way! I always love hearing you sing some karaoke, great fun listening! And you're really good at it too! For some reason your "Yes"es make me smile quite often too. So yeah. Stay awesome!
  • aforce273 Thanks for setting up the unofficial steamgifts Discord! It's turned into a great community and I really enjoy talking to the people there whenever I'm in a talkative mood!
  • coleypollockfilet Thanks for always making me smile when I see a gib of yours! I don't know why, but whenever I see one of your gibs appear in the gibs list, just seeing your picture and your descriptions makes me smile. Thanks!
  • bludshade Thanks for the nomination! It was really unexpected! And I still have no idea why! Buttt... You've managed to surprise me and flatter me! I'm honored you thought of me! Thanks!
  • MaiteVaati Thanks for being there to talk! I always enjoy our little talks whenever we have one! ᵏᵉʳᵒ ¦3 ᵏᵉʳᵒ ᵏᵉʳᵒ ᵏᵉʳᵒ ᵏᵉʳᵒ ᵏᵉʳᵒ ᵏᵉʳᵒ ᵏᵉʳᵒ ᵏᵉʳᵒ ᵏᵉʳᵒ
  • Athena22 Thanks for the occasional tail tugs! Always puts a smile on my face when you so randomly appear (and disappear again) although I usually have no idea what you're trying to accomplish :3.
  • Ceebers I don't personally know you. I've never talked with you. I've only heard people say that you're a great guy! Well. I'm really thankful for all those Karaoke events you organize! I know it isn't easy and takes up quite some of your time, but I always really enjoy the events. It's great fun to listen to everyone sing! You're making it possible!
  • Everyone on SG Thanks everyone else on SG for making this community possible! I came here for the gibs, but I found out there is a great community hiding behind it! So many awesome people here! The forum is usually a nice place to either get information or just talk to some people! Thanks for making this community the community it is today!

If I didn't put you personally on this list, don't be offended please? There's way more other awesome people that I'm thankful to! Heck. I'm on a few whitelists and I don't know whose, but... whenever I see that whitelist number go up, I smile! It genuinely makes me happy someone thinks I'm worthy of being there! I'd like to say thanks to all of those people too! Everyone who whitelisted me! Thanks for making me smile!
Okay. I should shut up now.
Okay, to finish it off, I'll post a cute cat gif :3

Oh oh oh! rereading everything I wrote I totally forgot to thank everyone doing events and stuff! Thank you everyone that does events and puzzles stuff! I usually don't join in on them, but I love seeing them. Thanks for actively contributing to the community!
Okay, now I'm really out :3

Definitely +1ing all the people that go through hell creating and having to put up with negative behaviour on the threads they work so hard on. All praise to them. Fantastic people, the lot of them <3

Thank you again and love the gif ^^

I'm glad I decided to skim the comments here. Yours made me smile - not just because I was mentioned (thanks!) but more so because a number of other SG Discord members made it to your list. It reminds me what a great community we've created there. To return the favor: I appreciate Shirl for being an amazing event coordinator and lending his opinion on server related issues. I, of course, also appreciate everyone else that has contributed to our little community there.@SadisticChicken and others, you should come join us!

I am a little shy to initiate stuff and I don't chat a whole lot, but there are a few people I have chatted with at least a little or observed.

First, Sazz His past profile pic gave off the exact vibe I got from him. He is polite, active, and just a touch goofy in a good way. He just seems really pleasant and hasn't done anything to make me feel otherwise.

Next, Mary Virgin for being very nice as well as helplful to me a few times.

After that, there is Jabbas for being the first to actively chat with me. It is interesting and bringing me slightly out of my comfort zone which is good.

headmonkeyboy is a nice, yet full energy bundle of a person. I appreciate his attempts at humor and him chatting with me the few times we have.

I do also appreciate the people who had the patience to put up with my ridiculous requests to be part of my whitelist. Their responses were fun to see and it was a nice experience.

I also appreciate you, SadisticChicken. I see you around, the things you post, and you seem like a pretty great person, and I like great people, so try to keep your chin up ok? :3
