2015 has sucked for me so far.

Postby Awesomeguy 99 » June 9th, 2015, 5:56 pm

So, what have I done recently in life?

Well, 2015 has already been the worst year of my life for MANY reasons already.
Just today I jammed my pinkie throwing a tennis ball and hitting a car trying to throw it.
I've gotten sick more than TWICE this year and I rarely ever get sick.
The first couple of months were bland. Nothing of substance happened whatsoever. Maybe I made a few levels? I can't recall.
More recently, me and my friends were hacked (His name was Golden Freddy but I wouldn't like to discuss him.) and tried to ruin some friends reputations on G+, but we soon found out about the hacking and gave the hacker an alt account that nobody used to get rid of him.
Middle School is what you expect, except school is literally stereotypical school. (Idiots everywhere, mean people, bland teachers except for those two you like, I could go on for hours.)
My Golf season was tarnished because one of the two times I got sick was during the season and vvvvvvvvvv(Look down) to see the other reason. (Yes I like Golf. You could know that though by my interests section but I don't expect many people reading it.)
My dad died from Leukemia, stayed home from school for a week and a half and missed pretty much the rest of the Golf season because of it. Still haven't recovered completely.
And this is just the stuff going on with me, all the stuff in the news about people getting killed and terrorists and other crazy stuff like that.
So in my eyes, 2015 has sucked a whole lot. Hopefully not everyone's has sucked as much as mine so far.
Might be ready in a bit.

Have all my sympathy and give free rein to your tears if you didn't already.

2009 and 2010 were also pretty bad years for me. I've lost touch with my dad (he EXPELLED me for a BAGATELLE, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) and in 2010 my beloved grandpa died. I've also got expelled from chess club because of stupid childish bullying and quarreling (*stop staring at me*), and I've also had a hard time in school. But 2011 already was more unstressed, and in 2012 I've had an excellent university-extrance diploma and I've found my true beloved sport with petanque.

You already have a sport you can fully identify yourself with, and this crisis won't last forever. 2016 will be better for you, and maybe already the second half of 2015 will be. There's no reason to damn a whole year already if it's only half over.

Come on, have a hug.

Thank you, FF.

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 have lots of sympathy for you, awesomeguy. Losing people is always difficult.

Life may have some bad parts to it, but there are also plenty of good things to look forward to. I'm awful at wording stuff like this, so I'll leave it at that, but I speak for everyone when I say I hope things become better for you.

Also, in response to this:

News and media love to focus on the negative stuff because it attracts people better - plenty of good things have happened too, so don't think that the world is falling apart. c:

Having your dad pass away is enough to make anyone's year absolutely awful. I'm sorry for your loss.
2015 is not over yet though, and we never what the future holds, there could be a lot of improvement over the coming months, you just need to hang onto that ray of hope.

The worst year of my life was 2013, personally.

2011 was pretty awful too, because my best friend died of cancer and I developed a somatic disorder due to stress that meant I had a non-existent, but equally agonising rash on my back, that drove me to my wits' end. But I used Runouw.com deliberately as a distraction from all of this, which is why I posted so much back then (I still post a lot now but not quite as much :) ) and that stopped the year from reaching a rockbottom.

Yup. There's been plenty of cases where self-defense firearms have saved people's lives. They never get reported though. Go figure.

Sorry. I really wanted to say something equivalent to this, but I'm pretty bad at talking... I really didn't want to touch a nerve. Trust me, I'm in a similar boat with you. Though none of my parents are dead (save my granfather on my father's side), sometimes they certainly feel dead to me.

I'm sorry for the loss of your dad and seriously hope the pain will not bother you forever, although I know how is it to loose someone that's really close to you and not just "that one Joe you knew", but anyway apart from that 2015 is not over and there is a chance that all the bad things that happened so far can be dilluted or even overhelmed by good news. Improbable, but not impossible.

From 2012 till this day I get through a lot of stress and nerves and when it looks like it may have come to an end, well more and more ♥♥♥♥ happens.

I've gotten sick more than TWICE this year and I rarely ever get sick.

Well I know how it is to be sick and frankly I wouldn't wish even the common cold, it's not just pain, coughing and swallowing ♥♥♥♥ of pills, but hey if you get past it, it means your immune system (with or without help of medicine) backed you up pretty well and may be adapting to be stronger of the next possible cold. After a nasty cold I've learnt to drink hot teas, which doesn't necessary make you healthier, but makes you calmer in some situations, I'd recommend you try that personally.

Middle School is what you expect, except school is literally stereotypical school. (Idiots everywhere, mean people, bland teachers except for those two you like, I could go on for hours.)

On a somewhat pessimistic note, it can be worse, but carpe diem, from now on it can't be as least worse than that. I too lost several dreams and passions in the school, learning foreign language and maths are one of them after the teachers ruined that one for me, but instead I learnt to love the ones I used to hate. Physics and chemestry for example. Till last year I hated those deeply, but the reason was because I didn't understood them due to poor teaching. Once I got some actually devouted teachers, I now see no struggle learning them and it makes me feel better that I understood. Unlike the popular belief, I come to the conclusion that school does indeed help you dicover your vocations and passions, either by making you love certain courses, either by making you hate the others besides that certain one.
Unfortunatelly with idiots isn't something you can deal with. I have a bunch of stories to share about one particular ♥♥♥♥ in my class, but nothing much I can do with him, I just boycott him. He gets on my nerves and I want to punch him so bad, but maintaining contact minimum eases the nerves a bit.

The first couple of months were bland. Nothing of substance happened whatsoever. Maybe I made a few levels? I can't recall.

Heh, heh, obligatory note about how I hardly care about making levels, but that's a part of creativity and that means you lack it right now. Don't beat yourself for it, it can take time to refill. For instance I had a lot of story ideas in the last period, but once they got written in MS Word, I either deleted them because they where ♥♥♥♥ either "put on wait" and forgot about them. Now all the ideas that floated around are mixing togheter, so instead of 10 ♥♥♥♥ stories, I can make 1 better one. Give it time.

And this is just the stuff going on with me, all the stuff in the news about people getting killed and terrorists and other crazy stuff like that.

Aaah, yes, well as stated by other users, media focuses on the bad stuff, simply because people find them more interesting. Unfortunatelly I'm one of that people, because bad news, unpopular opinions and so on make great debate material for later, and one of my satisfaction is to argue with others irl. There are a lot of good things that happen too, you just have to search for it.
