Jesus, another fucking idiot! Leroy, what the fuck's the matter with you? A man has just TAKEN HIS OWN LIFE, and here you are, fucking thumping a bible! Can't we get some god damned respect for the deceased!

JESUS!

and to keep with the topic, My life is a failed project. Which is why I'm ending it all right now.



now im ded adn nun ov u wil evr play mah ff fangame Sad...


For years, I was traumatized by this post and the obviously-drawn slit wrist picture (looked real enough to me at the time) - I thought my forum reviving had inadvertently triggered a man's suicide by reviving this thread.

Sure I can look back it now and laugh, but at the time I really couldn't tell how serious anyone was.

I've of course had hundreds of new failed projects in the past 15 years - far too many to count. And some games that while I'll never "finish" them they were still real successes in some way (Maces Wild being a big one).

The haunting feeling bothered me for a long time and greatly influenced my behavior on internet forums in ways it shouldn't.



Always remember: It's okay to fail at making something or cancel a game you can't make presentable. It's also okay to release "demos" that will never be finished. It's okay to have regrets, and being depressed from time to time might be perfectly natural.

What's not okay: Killing yourself. Threatening to kill yourself to emotionally manipulate others (not this thread, but it's happened to me quite a lot...my romantic life is the most troubled part of my existence). Calling people who took their own lives instead of going down fighting and trying to claw their way out of the bad situation they were in anything other than cowards; "An Hero" was a meme in part because people were amused by the horribly written eulogy and to highlight the obvious, that there's nothing heroic about ending your life. A little bit o' the sarcasm.
