Come on. Spellforce 3 isn't so bad.

Spellforce 3 has butterflies and bunnies and stuff?!?! Ooooo!

ok im gonna do a repost

im in for terraria and the escapists

ok well this week is the week of my last exams since we had 3 weeks and im so happy that its finally almost over.My mom brought home a huge box pretty sure its my christmas gift so yeah the most i can do is pretend that i dont know what it is
had some issues with friends but i fixed those and now my friendships are nearly impossible to break now
im just so grateful for the things people have done for me and for what theyre doing for others like for example this giveaway i admire people that do these so that they can see a positive outcome and make someone else happy the greatest reward isnt money or games or all that, the greatest reward is seeing someone smile and knowing youre the cause of that person's happiness. All that other stuff that comes along with that person's happiness being the reward is just a bonus so cheerish each other and keep helping others because one day it will be recognized and be returned when u need it most

Now this is a nice thread.

I often stop to think about the universe itself, which is so beautifully vast, to forget about all the not so nice things that happen here on Earth. The tiny parts of it which we've mapped we have very little hope of ever visiting. One of my favourite websites which one of my maths teachers showed me can absorb you for hours. The thing that comes to my mind most when you think of beauty around us is of course images from hubble (One of which is my desktop background).

So yeah... we're totally insignificant. Which is great because it means we're free to spend time doing whatever we feel like. And seeming as you are offering so kindly, if I could have the chance to win Divinity Original Sin 2, then I might be able to see some of a beautiful (if non-existent) universe.

Why not post you favourite images of the universe?

EDIT: Seems the internet doesn't want me to embed links in paragraphs so here they are seperately:
-Scale of The Universe
-Map of The Universe
-Hubble
-Orion Nebula

lol

Bump.

Also, is Annie the dog from your avatar?

Thanks, ZFR, for this great giveaway--and what great timing considering the season and how rough this past year has been for so many others.

I'm in.

I'm grateful this year for finding out that I helped impact a few people's lives in a profound way. It may sound stupid or conceited to some, but it gives me happiness to know when I've made a difference in another's life with hope that it will branch out to the people in their lives.

Yup. My pointer missed by a line or two

Well, i just downloaded joined GOG to play gwent, but i was greeted with a giveaway instead.I'm fine with that, Divinity 2 is pretty expensive for me so why not join in? But i feel like i should be honest when i'm entering a giveaway with a condition, and that is to stop complaining and see the beauty around us.I have an opinion on that matter.
Since i was a kid, i was treated as "higher than standart intelligence".Now i don't claim i am, but since i was treated as such for years, anything below was uncomfortable for me.I live in a third world country, most of the people were financially bad.I was raised with above avg, anything below is uncomfortable for me.I'm not saying there's no beauty in our lives, but in my opinion, humans have always been and will always be greedy, and there is nothing bad about that.After all, greed is the reason we have so far in technology and general quality of life.I have been in deep depression for 3 years and suicidal for 6 months, still am.Even though my family is financially pretty good and my uni score was enough for most of the best universities in my country (i decided to wait one more year to go for the best.) i have psychological problems that should have been solved in my childhood but left untreated.When i talk about this to other people, i mostly get reactions generally telling me that i don't know the worth of my life and that many people would like to be in my place.They are not entirely wrong, but what is seen "okay" from the outside can be terrible from the inside.When a person complains about everytihng small, i see 2 possibilities there.Either their life is so good that they have to get annoyed by little stuff to raise their standarts, or that they have incredibly low good/bad experiences ratio, obviously bad being the higher one.I'm not saying complaining is a good thing, it can even be negative for the surroundings, but complaining for every little thingi is a sign.It should not be stopped, it should be treated.It's based on instincts, if you try to stop, it will just make it worst and you will make it harder for others to recognize the actual problem.
My tip for those who complain every little thing, stop for a minute and think about your life.Have you ever known happiness? When was the last time? How often do you have good experiences, the kind you remember every once a few months and smile awkwardly for no reason? If you have legit reasons to be grumpy, don't try to stop yourself from complaining but try to treat yourself.Either with professional help or by your ways (differs for everyone) like not giving a shit about anything for a few hours or even a day.For guys, another tip would be to find a random, decent looking girl (not as in pretty or something, but as in not smelling of trouble) and offer them tea or coffee.If they are fine with it, talk about your problems and possibly listen to theirs.I have no idea why, but in my experience, girls are far more emotional so they can empathize with you better than other guys.Meeting with random people and talking for hours is one of the most undarrated things in our world.Go ahead and live a random life for a day or two!

Valiant effort, ZFR. You really need to focus on the many good things and not on the few bad things in life.
That is an exercise I often do, and I think it is a requirement to be happy.
I'm not in, but I wish I could +1 your first post many times.

I'm in for The Witcher 3 GOTY.

Thank you for such positive AND realist thoughts!

I'm in, thanks for the words.

This will be my first Christmas without my father (and the last 2 were miserable because of his condition), so I'm finally being able to enjoy life again - friends, girls and games (and books, and comics and...well, every little thing!).

The game I wish to apply is Kentucky Route Zero
(thanks again)

You have a great attitude about life, ZFR, and the world would be a better place if everyone had that attitude. Something that I'm thankful for this year is the birth of my niece and the fact she's healthy. Please count me in for Avadon 3: The Warborn. Thank you. +1

This is really nice :-)

I'm in for Factorio.

As for something nice that happened to me this year... I got a really cute boyfriend.

I am in for Dragon age : origins

Oh I do not really worry about small things nor am I of short temper. I have been stoic my whole life and was never stressed about little things but welcomed them with smile. That is probbably why I was curious as a child and wanted to know more about nuisances in life, like why does it rain, why people snore, how to save your feet from cold, how to deal with people, how to develop tehnic then to use brute force, what are the alternatives. All in all I am very graced with my state of mind and stoicism I praticed since, well, I wouldn't life I say since I was 7 years old but never had to put it into words like Marcus Aurelius or Seneca or Epictetus. Cheers!
