Don't care if they are, it's all about those Star Wars girls and dat Leia cosplay.

Why? Kanye is twice the musician that Bowie was.

My $2 says that the developer won't follow through on their promises like a lot of other crowd funding indie devs have done.

M$ said they would fix it.

Really it's an absolute fucking shame that one of my favorite games of all time has been reduced to a literal eyesore that I dont even want to touch at this point.

I want points for downvoting Rocket daily.

You should just start downvoting me daily. I don't want to really reach Mythic.

I wish I could freeze my current rank.

You'll get past it, so long as you want to get past it. Part of it is willpower, the rest is conditional/situational (i.e. who and what you surround yourself with).

Advice, if you want it.

One of the things that perpetuates depression is self loathing, or just way too much focus on "why me?" or the belief that everything in the world is against you. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's probably an accurate descriptor of you. This is a mindset that needs to be broken past, and while easier said than done, it's the best advice I can give for getting past this kind of depression.

Take the time to appreciate the good things in life. Go on a nature hike and take the time to clear your mind (Remove EVERYTHING from your mind. This is tough if you haven't done it before, but if you're the type to be able to lay in bed and not do anything but stare at the ceiling for hours, you can do it. If you have to, stop and concentrate on one thing, maybe a plant or something. The moment your mind drifts, focus back on the plant and pay attention the details on the plant rather than the thoughts floating around your mind. Once you can get your brain to shut up about the things you don't want to focus on, you can start making the proper steps forward.) and concentrate on nothing but your surroundings, and take the time to appreciate everything around you. Basically, make a conscious effort to give credit to every little good thing in your life while not acknowledging the bad. While it's usually important to not just ignore the bad things in life, when you're depressed it's all you focus on. The goal is to get away from that. This might seem corny in your head for a while but trust me, once you can shift your mindset to stop dwelling, your life becomes infinitely better.

I can't emphasize enough how important it is to shift your focus. It's the hardest in the beginning because you have to make a constant and active effort, but it does get easier over time. The next really important thing you'd have to do is do whatever you can to cut toxic people off. (Cough cough like Sep7agon. Not because I want you to leave, as I've said from the very very beginning, but because it's clearly not helping you at all and frankly might be making you spiral even more.) Distancing is important. I don't know how things are at home with your parents but if you're around too much then maybe it's time to start going out more. Get out of the places where you usually tend to dwell while you're in more depressive bouts and redirect your focus. You're a few months older than me, maybe it's time to start thinking about finding roommates and getting your own place. If you get people to split expenses with, it's really not that bad. Basically just put yourself out there and do your best to push past your comfort zone. Productivity is important because if you're actively doing things it can give you some sense of purpose. It doesn't have to be "I've found the meaning of my life" purpose, just something important that keeps you busy that you know you have to do.

If you've got good friends who listen, talk to them. Councilors/therapists have never done anything for me, and they don't really know you in your day to day life. However if you don't have people you can talk to who are wiser than you and of a sound state of mind, a therapist might be your best option. It is what they're trained for, after all. Talking about your problems is important because when you're saying it, sometimes you can figure out the solutions yourself just by putting things into words. Kind of balancing it so that some if it is vocal conversation (since more likely than not I'm guessing you probably talk to people in the form of text) is important. Talk in person, over the phone, in a video call. Hear your own words, and pick out what's wrong with what you're saying.

Most important of all though, make the time in your life to do the things that make you happy. I'm not really sure what to say beyond that, because really everyone's path is different so you'd have to figure it out yourself along the way.

Life has it's bumps, but that's just life. Don't let it eat you up.

After reading your advice again, I am thinking about cutting ties with this place, especially if shits going to keep hitting the fan, especially if I fail at redeeming myself.

Hmm. Feeling down again eh? Two points to cover here.

The first being, that you have to ask yourself why you come here. I know that for myself, I come here because there's people I like talking to. There's people I like "seeing," in some sense. But, this place has it's drawbacks. It's a tad depressive. And it's time consuming. So in one hand, you've got the pros, and in one hand, you've got the cons.

Let me tell you that cutting ties with this place won't work with you. You don't have the mental fortitude to stick with it. As you've demonstrated multiple times when you've left and come back here. And that's because you're not thinking about this in a manner that makes sense.

For example, if I were to suddenly cut ties with this place, I would gain the benifit or more time gained and being exposed to less depressive things. But, I'd lose critical interaction with people I like talking to and trying to get know better.

So what would be the most logical thing to do? Not take an extreme stance. Instead, use a little moderation. Stop by the place every now and then, but watch so that you don't end up spending too much time here.

The second point here, is old habits. I don't know much about ya or I don't remember much. But that doesn't mean I can't see what's up with you. Obviously, you're not in a good state.  And, you might be trying to fix that. Let me tell you, that there's no fucking chance of ever fixing yourself up quickly. There's no magic button that resets everything.

It takes a lot of conscious effort on your part to change. And it might take more than just efforts on your own part. You might need help and guidence too. For example.

I know the exact number of years I've been in a depressive state. 10 years. Right now, I know all the things that I can do to combat that leech in my head. I need to focus my attention on things. I need to move and keep active. But the trick I haven't learned yet, is how to keep moving. As soon as I stop, I'm staring at my depression again.

And as soon as I acknowledge its presence, I slip and fall right back into my rut. So, even with the keys and the know how of how to go about getting rid of this, I'm still having trouble. Which means that on my part, I have to put more effort and focus into this to beat it. But I understand that it's not going to dissappear overnight. It'll take time.

Same applies to you.

forum's gonna die in 2 weeks guys like all the offsites

I had a full dark theme for a while before one of the updates ruined it
I'll probably see if I can redo it later because I do miss it

I had a dark theme for Windows 10 before. I don't know what went wrong but one day my whole explorer.exe got corrupted and it wouldn't load properly, I had no way to fix it without clean installing it.

I would recommend staying with the stock skin. If you want skin customization, Windows 7 and 8 are much easier for those, right now Windows 10 skin customization is a nightmare.

Nothing I did ruined the way the computer worked after the update, the update just ruined some of the colors so I disabled it. It sounds like you might've downloaded weird sketchy shit. The reason it's a pain in the ass to customize is because now they update stuff without telling you and you never know if something's going to break.

Also apparently Windows 10 deletes your system restores after a major update, which is....really frustrating and annoying.

Exactly. The last update actually made this computer unbootable for awhile. I ended up downgrading from Windows 10 Enterprise to Windows 10 Home now since Enterprise has a lot of extra shit.

Why not Pro? Home lacks customization options.
