Thanksgiving

Thumbs up x2

Postby Doram » November 27th, 2014, 6:30 am

Well, it's turkey day - I mean Thanksgiving in America - and one of the things we try to do on this day is appreciate what we've got by thinking of all the things we are thankful for.
I'm always thankful that you guys are a great big extended family that I can both help and ask for help whenever I need it. The Runouw Community has been a big part of my life for a while now, and I really hope it will be for a long time to come. Happy Thanksgiving, Runouw and Gang. :)

So, what are you guys thankful for?

I'm thankful for meeting smart and nice people in the Runouw Community, and to have the opportunity of sharing my thoughts and helping people. Also, I'm thankful for all the moments I had here on this site and in my life.

Happy Thanksgiving for you and for everyone!

I'm also thankful for Runouw and the community in general, because even if times are hard, you learn something from it for real life and make useful experiences. And besides, I've also incredibly developed my skills and my comprehension of level designing since I've joined.

Generally I'm thankful for all the little things in life that give me pleasure.

Happy Thanksgiving and don't eat too many turkeys :P

Thank you, FF.

Nan's sig! From the previous Secret Santa event!: show
Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

I'm thankful for my family and being well off. I couldn't ask for more.

I'm thankful for everyone I've met, really.

Each and everyone one of you has opened my eyes more and more as time passes. I don't care how extreme the events were, even if some of you bullied the ♥♥♥♥ out of me when I was young, or helped me avoid suicide. Without any one of those events I fear I would not be myself.
Expect something cool here soon!

I'm thankful for everything learned this year. This is being with no doubt the hardest year of my life (and well, it's not really getting any better), but these times are the times when we learn the most. These times give us a chance to do the best out of us. And well, I hope I managed to do my best.

This may sound confusing, so I guess it'd be better if I write another post about everything. I may do it later.

I'm thankful that my body is still physically surviving, even with everything I've put it through. It's one hella strong system.

I'm happy with all the people that have helped me through depressing times (my family, friends, and counselors), my parents for doing their best at getting me motivated for college, and the Runouw community. Seriously, you guys are awesome. ;)

I'm not so thankful for this cold, however. Stupid viruses.

I can't say I'm not thankful for everyone here (<3), or for my family, or for my friends, or teachers, or people in general. But on a deeper level everything in my entire life has contributed to shaping me in some way, and there's not anything for which I'm ungrateful. More introspectively, I'm thankful for my own decisions and how they've affected me, even if not everything was for the best. I'm thankful for the past of the human race, though there have been some rather despicable events. *cough* Overall, even though I've barely yet scratched the surface, life has been a wild ride that thus far has been well worth my time, and it's been a pleasure to spend it with you all. I hope it continues to be.

Definitely thankful for this holiday to be a thing, too (rather more for the "Hey, be happy" part of it than the all-you-can-eat gorging festival part), even if I'm a little late. You don't need to follow any specific religion, you don't need to have any specific social standing, or much else at all to be able just take a minute and appreciate what you've got, whether with your family, friends, or just yourself. The very idea seems to open a lot of people up.

CHEERS FELLAS. Even if some of us had the most boring Thanksgiving where all you did was eat and then go on the computer, at least we still lived another year. :3
