I was feeling really frustrated with this site so I originally wrote a long rant... but now I'm just tired, and kinda sad, so I deleted it and changed the title.
Have a gib for bothering to click and let me be: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/W0jzv/

Edit: had to replace the giveaway due to high risk of duped key, sorry for the inconvenience.

Please what is happening ? Tell me if you want, why are you sad or what makes you sad ?
Sometimes it's normal to want to take a break,
sometimes you even need several years' break, especially when life outside catches up.

Got suspended but I didn't do anything wrong on my end, it took hours to sort, got very frustrated, wrote and then deleted a long rant, went to sleep.

I got suspended yesterday for BS reasons completely outside of my control and had to convince support that I wasn't lying, which I didn't really manage to do because in the end the only reason why the suspension was lifted is that the system decided to stop bugging out after one of the things I tried worked, and I don't particularly enjoy being treated as guilty until proven innocent, even if I can and will admit that I behaved like an asshole during the interaction. So I was royally pissed off at the whole situation after spending hours sorting that out and wanted to vent, but then opted to delete my extensive rant pointing out every thing that irritated me about what happened and instead just post whatever and go to sleep.

This is not me accumulating little bits of resentment over the course of a long period of time, it's me having a really bad day out of the blue and feeling the urge to strangle something in response, but we cannot strangle an immaterial thing like a website and I couldn't possibly bring up such a dumb complaint to someone in real life because they would tell me that this is dumb and I would likely immediately agree and feel even worse about it. So I was essentially out of outlets to decompress and that was exhausting.

Sometimes telling someone to touch grass when they get frustrated about online problems doesn't help because they are fully aware of the nature of the problem and that's one of the main causes of said frustration. I appreciate the attempt at offering help but this ain't it, context is relevant, I just happened to omit that context for reasons.

gifs tend to help btw
(expressing emotion in a silly way)

"whatever" and sg don't go together xD You'll gather many irrelevant and colorful comments xD

Wait, is that one of the keys that are known to not work? I just checked and it looks like I got that one from feudalife.
Crap, guess I'll just delete that GA and make another one to replace it, can't be asked to deal with a duped key right now. Thanks for letting me know.

That's one of the most famous non working feuda keys actually. It has been years since 1 worked, probably the dev revoked all unused keys from there.

But what did happen with support? False inactive?

That happens to me for storing my keys in a fragmented mess of notes.

And yeah, what I asume was a bizarre false positive with a game not showing on my profile until I installed and played it, I could see it but from the outside support couldn't. After going through my licenses with a comb I found out that I originally activated the base game through a beta key, which is still there in my account but I guess something broke at some point because there's a second activation for the same game with a regular free license at a later date (plus multiple DLC activations across years), a confusing mess if you ask me.

sad is good; it's a sign that you care :)

but seriously; take a little break and come back if you miss it. Or ignore the things you're frustrated about and focus on the positive. Life's too short to allow yourself to be frustrated and sad...

all the best!

It's hard to emotionally distance oneself from a group or idea - be it the site, the idea of gifting, or its community. It can help to twist it around a bit - focusing on events instead of giveaways or the people, stopping visiting the forums, maybe visiting the site every other day. It helps to see the people behind the accounts, who may be happier to solve a puzzle or do a jigidi and mention this, instead of just entering the GA without a comment, which is tbh the "ideal" standard.

Focusing on other hobbies can mean a lot.
Reading a comic you liked for fun, finding new indie ones to see how you like it uot of curiosity, reading a new book or one that was suggested / mandatory reading in school, to see what you see it in now, and how your worldview (likely) widened or changed since the school years can really put things into perspective.

A classic book, movie or series may give appreciation to why they are classics, and in a way to better connect with humanity and our shared experiences.

Gaming-wise it can help to use one of the other platforms one quite likely has (good) games - Epic, GOG, Amazon, uPlay, Origin - we generally maintain the social connections on Steam, so by changing to another platform, it can be a useful change, even just for a week. It can bring back some of the awesome "loneliness" of offline gaming, free without intrusion, constant chase of comments, awards, achievements and comparisons, and without the always-online, always-available aspect of today's existence.

Bump for GOG. IMHO, it's the best, besides Steam

Roger that, sorry about the frustrating day.

Here, I asked Gemini to generate "a funny image with a pineapple on a donkey", just for you.

Cheers!

P.S.1: Where did the hat come from?
P.S.2: Do all donkeys look sad?

Bump for changing the giveaway, or I might just replace the whole thread at this point, still thinking about it.
