Starbound, lost family members and my depression

It's nice to see such kind and caring responses in this thread! I too would like to wish you the best in the future. I hope things keep getting better for you!

 

...who's chopping onions up in here? Is it you, OP?
That was a really sweet story.

 

Thank you so much! And thank you for the great community you're keeping, a really great place.

 

The music I had playing + your story was pretty emotional. Thanks for letting us hear you story! All my respect goes to you and your family.

 

Oh my goodness, Starbound, you've literally changed lives!

Thank you for putting this on the internet, your story is amazing.

 

Damnit Starbound Forums... I'm getting the feels again..

 

Best of luck to you and your mom, OP. Hope you guys enjoy the game when it's released! ^^
Maybe we can play together sometime

 

Reading your story at work, on lunch break. I'm sorry that it took me a while to see this, but I'm grateful that I did. Your story should be made into a book or a film. My most sincere condolences for what you have been through, but my utmost gratitude for getting through it to share your experience with all of us. I think that games, especially ones like Starbound, have the power to change lives. You are the purest example of that. Peace. Love. Understanding.

 

Wow thank you Tiy.
That means so much to me!

I have no doubt Starbound will completely fulfill our expectations!
Best of luck aswell, I hope you enjoyed reading this post and realise that you and your teams work saved two lifes!

Thank you!

 

You should do the $2000 donation so they can make a statue of you! Maybe even the $1000 donation and you can create a gun?

Sorry for going off-topic, I just thought Tiy deserves one or the two.

 

Hey, good job getting things straightened out and life on track again. I just wanted to wish you well in the future, and offer a little advice.

Starbound will be amazing. I can tell. The developers are great, the game concept is innovative, and the community rocks socks. However, be ready for the time when Starbound, in all its infinite glory, becomes boring. It happened to me with Minecraft and Terraria, despite the huge amount of content. I think it's human nature, really. Instead of bumming out and letting your life wind down at that point, use your enthusiasm as a springboard! Get excited about other things! Astronomy is really interesting, and so are a lot of other things. Go ahead, show the world that Starbound isn't just a game; it's inspiration itself.

 

This was a really touching story, and I am glad that you have found some happiness in starbound.

I find that whenever I ever felt down I listened to this, there's just something about it i really like

This really just goes to show how the universe that engulfs you when you immerse yourself into a game and its community is truly breathtaking, and it is worth taking the plunge when you surface a happier person

 

Glad to see my life isn't the only one that has hit rough patches. I'm still >18 (to quote a wise man with boxing-gloves for hands: my age is a closely guarded secret, protected by a sect of closely guarded monks high atop the Coches Mountains. They would no sooner dance with a goat than divulge my age.) but my mother has had cancer since I was 3 years old. Thank god it's over, but everyday for almost my whole life, I have escaped into the computer, but I know what it is like to have a sick family member. I can't say I have had any monumentally life changing things, life slowly got to the better position it is in today, but in all, the internet, and the computer have been my safe-haven. Thank you for being so kind as to listen to me.

 

I'm still confused as to how I ended up with the third copy of starbound, but I shall not look a gift (sea)horse in the mouth
(its totally because he likes seahorses )

I guess I'll have to go make someone smile now so the circle of love or something...

 

I'm so glad that I click this thread and read it all. Sorry for the lose of your father; I couldn't even imagine losing mine. I hope that man that was drunk driving got time in prison with a whole life of regret. Taking a human life because of his stupidity of drinking and driving, deserves him to feel guilty for his whole life. Thanks again for the wonderful post, and I hope you have a good day.

 

Thanks for all the very nice comments people.
You've all been very nice to me, maks me really glad!

 

Nice Ducky badge!

 

Glad things are getting better - I hope it continues to go that way for you

 

Even though the post was a sad one, Im really glad I clicked the thread. I wish you and your mother all the happiness in the world, you both deserve it

Also OP, your English is excellent, dont think it isnt
