I would like to publically apologize to whoever is supposed to receive my gift game for Xmashack this year. I thought I was going to be able to do it, but the truth is I'm just too depressed. Sorry... 
P.S.: If you don't hear from me again, it means I've killed myself. Goodbye, cruel world.
]]>Too pity Miran, I was going through this kind of depression a month ago. Now I've another kind of depression, and I must say that I wonder that I'm able to do some work at all, even I don't see the point.
]]>This must be post-natal depression, after your graduation 
Cheer up, you old bugger.
everybody whistles
]]>Yes, cheer up. Don't kill yourself. Whatever bad thing(s) happened, put it away as life experience and go on.
]]>Cheer up man!
]]>On the other hand world is most of the time beutiful place, especially when you're outside the city in the nature. So there's no point in killing himself - remember suicide is a mortal sin 
So as everybody say, cheer up.
Remember don't worry, be happy. 
I wouldn't agree with that; a masterfully made game, your imagination, not to mention some well-drawn hentai, real life can't do justice. It's simply not particularly interesting. The other things that are, particularly the ones that go on within your mind, make life worth living, though.
As for a good reason to tag along for now: Life does have a point, though the point is lifeless. It's rather weak and puny, and not particularly relevant once you get driven far enough. However, you have a whole life which you can die within; no need to do so now. Once it happens, you'd hardly regret having lived on a little longer, so you might just as well do so. If life gets better, you get to have a good time, eventually. If not, you haven't lost anything by living on.
]]>Don't rush! You'll have time to be dead later.
]]>Don't rush! You'll have time to be dead later.
Great advice. And if you go, who will maintain MAskinG? Maybe you just need a change of scenary; how about travelling?
]]>Don't worry. Think for 5 minutes about everything that you can be thankful for. Having a place to live. Having a computer. Just keep expanding, and you'll feel pretty good after a while.
P.S.: If you don't hear from me again, it means I've killed myself. Goodbye, cruel world.
Noooo! There are so many more people out there who need mocking!
]]>Miran! Think of the kittens!
The point of working? Who needs points? Just do it! 
Yeah, the kittens will cheer you up~ <3
]]>Well I think that unfinished CH entry is just a side-effect of his frustration and depression in life. I don't know why he has it, but as I said, I had it too. I was unable to do anything. I must say that it still echoes here that depression, but month ago I was really bad.

Oh, ChristmasHack is fun but I think it's more similar to Christmas than perhaps people think — i.e. people are more concerned with what they give than what they get. So although it's a credit to you that you apologised, I don't think you were otherwise risking offending anyone.
And don't kill yourself. It's not really a solution to anything.
]]>Cheer up, Miran. If you die I will never again be able to use your Font Editor without sobbing uncontrollably and will have to abandon myself to the 8x8 bios font and that's just_plain_ugly. 
Seriously, we need you around here, Miran. Life definitely is cruel sometimes but it can be really wonderful sometimes, too. You have to hang in there through the bad times to get to the good stuff.
However, you have a whole life which you can die within; no need to do so now. Once it happens, you'd hardly regret having lived on a little longer, so you might just as well do so.
Sigged 
Goodbye, cruel world.
At least don't leave with such a cliché
]]>Maybe he's simply switched to SDL and this is his way of telling us 
I'm sure you're not the only one who will NOT create a christmas hack entry/gift. That's why I didn't enter this year; last year I dropped out too and felt terrible about it. Then Jakub made an awesome game and gave it to everyone. It was great, a real Festivus miracle!
]]>KK's game was awesome too.
]]>Tell us what's wrong... Allegro.cc has some of the best psychiatrists in the world, after all.
]]>Get laid, drink some beer, just don't kill yourself!
]]>Get laid, drink some beer, just don't kill yourself!
Easier said than done.
Tell us what's wrong... Allegro.cc has some of the best psychiatrists in the world, after all.
Let's see. I have a crappy job that's not really a real job anyway (it exists only to eat my brain), I just graduated from university, I have no friends anymore and no girlfriend. With space or otherwise. On top of that I'm old, fat, ugly and still live with my parents. I'm inside a dark tunnel and there's no light at the end.
Don't worry, I don't seriously intend to kill myself. Whenever I'm feeling bad, I make jokes about stuff, that's all. But come to think of it, the only reason I don't jump off a bridge or something is because I despise people who commit suicide. Well, I shouldn't really say that, because two of my close friends and a few more people I knew did it, and it's not nice to speak like this of the dead, but that's what I think of them. If I was a little more prone to suicide though, I have a feeling you wouldn't be reading this right now...
Go to the gym, work out, and make some friends. Hang out with said friends that are all buff, get the ladies, party. Use girlfriend to get new job. Profit!?
I would go to the gym. Problem is the membership costs about 40€ (~50$) a month. Kind of steep when you have little money.
]]>Don't worry, I don't seriously intend to kill myself.
Had me worried there for a second. I mean, it doesn't sound like something you'd do (here I go speaking like I actually know you), but I know of people who say something like that as if joking, but are really serious and end up doing it. And then everybody's like, "oh, I should have paid more attention."
Take a break and enjoy some of your quality games. Heck, if you won't, I will.
The thing is Miran, most people at some point think they're ugly, most people live with their parents longer than they think is average, and there's plenty of jobs if you look hard enough, especially if you have the brains like you obviously do. Then once a new job comes, so does new friends and a belief in yourself again, then the ugliness will pass and the women flooding in
women flooding in
Yeah, that's just a disturbing image right there, uh huh.
]]>I just came back from the personnel department where I had a slightly informal job interview. Looks like six weeks from now my crappy not really real job is going to turn into a still crappy but real job. The only problem is I have to pass an extensive medical examination first which will be on January 8. I got a friendly warning that last time 15 out of 32 applicants failed the medical because of alcohol, THC and other substances. Those substances stay in the system for up to a month or even more. This means my new year will have to be a little less happy than normal. 
So, things are already looking better.

Damn, I was going to ask you to record your death.
No such luck for you! 
As for the job, well, Slovenia is in the common market now, so Europe's your oyster
and remember, there's a critical shortage of IT staff.
]]>I got a friendly warning that last time 15 out of 32 applicants failed the medical because of alcohol, THC and other substances.
You're not even allowed to have alcohol? That seems a bit harsh!
Glad you're feeling better.
]]>Woah... What's it like to have no friends and not play WoW? I didn't think it were possible.
]]>You're not even allowed to have alcohol? That seems a bit harsh!
The job is at a nuclear power plant, so it kind of makes sense. They still are a bit too excited about their medicals though in my opinion. The ordeal takes a whole day, and it's not like wait two hours, then do a small little test, then wait two more hours. They actually do tests non-stop for seven or eight hours. And when it's time for a lunch break, they go eat and meanwhile send in a new set of technicians to do some more tests. They test everything! It's like they're sending you to the moon or something...
What's it like to have no friends and not play WoW?
Depressing. Some people even kill themselves.
]]>And why aren't you being paid a lot for this?
]]>Alcohol leaves the body quite quickly, party like it's 1999 is what I'd say
Depressed...
Take some friends (so you'r with 3 or 9 in total) and go to a forrest.
Breath in some clean air.
- Talk about your problems..
- go sit somewhere and just listen. (be patient)
Having hobbies helps as having nothing to do can make you feel much worse.
Any new games / programs you want to do?
Any new games / programs you want to do?
I wanted to make a nice simple game for xmashack. Maybe, just maybe if I feel better, I might actually finish something.
And then of course there's this idea I've had for at least a couple of years now that's going to make me rich and famous once I implement and sell it.
Take some friends (so you'r with 3 or 9 in total) and go to a forrest.
That would be very good advice. If I had enough friends. 
Would you feel better if you lost some weight?
]]>Would you feel better if you lost some weight?
I lost plenty in the last couple of months. So no, I wouldn't.

I've got a better idea:

... yeah, chugging hallucinogens is a great idea for someone who's depressed.
]]>... yeah, chugging hallucinogens seems like a great idea when you're depressed.
Funnily enough, it works for some people. But only when the depression is caused by abnormal brain function.
But no, I wouldn't recommend it.
Now some good strong Salvia Divinorum on the other hand... it's hard to be depressed when you've forgotten that you're a person.
Miran: What are your thoughts on jobs elsewhere?
]]>Sadly my average daily score according to that is -28... yeah you do the math.
]]>Take some friends (so you'r with 3 or 9 in total) and go to a forrest.
That would be very good advice. If I had enough friends.
Perhaps you can take some random people to the forest and bludgeon them to death with a carving knife. It'll sure release your anxieties and give you something to do for the next 20 years
What are your thoughts on jobs elsewhere?
There's such a thing as "elsewhere"? 
I'm not even considering this. The thing is that the job I have now (well, the job I'll have in 6 weeks) is safe, undemanding and pays reasonably well (in relative terms). The only problem with it is that it is extremely non-creative and completely destimulating. On other words, boring as hell.
Perhaps you can take some random people to the forest and bludgeon them to death with a carving knife. It'll sure release your anxieties and give you something to do for the next 20 years
How about if I do them one by one? There's plenty of middle school girl hitchhikers on my route to work. I could pick one up almost every day.
If you have access to your own computer, do coding at lunchtime, that's what I do
It sounds like you need to push yourself. Why not consider moving to another country and working and exploring the culture there?
You mean find school girls, take them to the forest and bludgeon them to death with a carving knife in another country? Yeah, I suppose you're right. Less chance of getting cought too if I keep moving. You're a genius!
Nope!!
The semester I spent studying in the US was one of the best times of my life, and a lot of my friends here in Nottingham are from different countries but study or work here.

I used to have a job like that, but the boredom did literally drive me insane. I'm much happier now, even though I'm not making anywhere near as much money. Being able to be creative really does help.
I'm not going to buy into this "too old to make a new career" business either. I'm using most of my current income to pay off my "misspent youth," and then when that's paid off, I'll save hard for a couple more years so that I can afford to go back to university while only working part-time. Then once that's over, it'll be time to start again. I'll be pretty close to 40 by this point.
]]>yeah, chugging hallucinogens is a great idea for someone who's depressed.
And you didn't for even a split second think that maybe i wasn't serious?
On that scale the regular sunday morning is maybe 24 points worth. A few weeks ago i had a 37 point sunday. That was fun.
I'm a zero on this scale and I always will be a zero.
The Human mind has this inane necessity to see conflict and strife everywhere. Once you're able to get beyond that and realize, "Hey, just because everyone else around me wants to be like that doesn't mean I have to!" is the moment things will start to get better.
I've witnessed depression almost always being triggered by other people, and not by circumstances. Just don't let other people make you depressed and you're fine.
Yes, that's much easier said than done, but very possible. I should know, that's part of how I got over my problems. (The other part was to quit my programming job, but I don't recommend that route unless you have an idea of how you can do better somehow else.)
And you say you have no friends. I beg to differ. Look at how many of us are responding to your post and helping you out? You probably have more friends than you realize.

I agree, although, for me, the people is usually me.
(The other part was to quit my programming job, but I don't recommend that route unless you have an idea of how you can do better somehow else.)
I'm on-call as of this morning for the next two weeks. As I was writing this message, my boss came in and asked why I didn't respond to my pager this morning (because he got a call from the warehouse). I looked down at my pager and poof, apparently it was dead. However, if the on-call person doesn't respond to the pager, they are are supposed to call. I had no missed calls. So, the warehouse thinks I didn't respond to my pager, so what do they do? They friggin' call my boss!
Perhaps I should quit my job. I'm probably one of the most underpaid programmer's in the US.
I have no friends anymore and no girlfriend.
I second the latter, and I must say that I'm quite happy with the state as it is now and I have quite a good reasons for that, trust me.
Plus I must agree with Kris, look around this whole thread. If those people are not friends then who?
]]>And you say you have no friends. I beg to differ. Look at how many of us are responding to your post and helping you out? You probably have more friends than you realize.

Eh, most of the replies aren't "helping out" - they're just repeating old, false clichés. Except for the "carve people up" advice. That one was good.
]]>gnolam: at least we see that some of us aren't as normal as "normal" people. Well I know that being here and being "normal" is mutualy exclusive but I hope you know what I meant.
]]>The Human mind has this inane necessity to see conflict and strife everywhere.
Correction, gonads* and strife.
]]>You don't count. You're not even real. You are strange little men who live in the void that is the internet.
Almost. We're just products of your own imagination, something completely abstract that exists only in your mind and nowhere else. It's all in your head.
]]>The job is at a nuclear power plant
So you are doing something like Homer Simpson? Just watch out you don't leave traces of nuclear substances in your car! 
So you are doing something like Homer Simpson?
Exactly!
Except for the "carve people up" advice. That one was good.
That's right! I think I'll actually try that some time and see how it goes.
]]>In that case it doesn't matter if they arrest you for carving people or for nuclear accident.
]]>Exercise?
(Helps stimulate the mind and body and keeps you healthy.)
Join the army, travel around the world, meet interesting people, carve them with a spoon.
]]>And eventually get killed
With spoons?
]]>Why not? I for example has one spoon which is sharp as knife Anyway even if you have normal spoon it will hurt horribly
Have all your real life friends moved away then?
]]>ITT wounds will not heal

http://www.duckiehorde.net/tractorbeam.jpg
]]>Exercise?
I run every other day for 20 minutes. That's because I can't do any more, but once I get in better shape, I'll extend my route a bit. Running makes me feel great for a few hours. It's like you're high on drugs or something...
Have all your real life friends moved away then?
I didn't really have many friends when I was younger. Then I went to study in a city about 100km away and made friends there. Now that I've come back home, I'm away from them, and those friends I did have from before have moved away or are doing their own thing or whatever and I never kept contacts. There are really just a few people I see every now and then that I say more than "hello" to...
Move back to the city you studied in. I stayed in Nottingham after studying here and I couldn't go back and live in my hometown any more..
]]>Yeah, ideally that's what I'd want to do. But I have to be here, because I kind of have to take this job here, because they gave me money while I studied (scholarship)...
]]>No matter how bad you think you've had it, Miran, you can't possibly do much worse than I once attained. I had very few friends growing up, and not that many now whom I'm able to see in real life either. Most of my contact with real people beyond the internet is limited to a guy I used to room with, a friend from elementary school who's life is usually very busy, my neighbours, my sister and her boyfriend, and my father. (Not counting door to door sales-people or other such strangers whom I don't get to know.)
That doesn't mean I can't make friends over the net, and in fact, some of the greatest people I know I've only ever spoken to over the net. I keep my spirits up by knowing that what few friends I have are important people, so I treat them as being important.
The depression you're experiencing was something I went through when I was only about 12 or 13 when I barely knew anybody. There are a huge number of factors that went into my getting over it, but the biggest was becoming more confident in myself, my abilities, and my interests.
Nowadays, I'd be damned if I let someone else's opinion define me, no matter how many other people share it.
Besides which, I found that making friends was easy, once I completed one simple step: Stop being so depressed about not having friends. What you need to do is accept your situation and seek a remedy. Dwelling on your problems is the only reason why they're not getting solved. Depression is almost like the ultimate form of procrastination and it can really bother the people around you. If you don't feel good about yourself, how are you supposed to feel good about someone else? And how is someone else supposed to feel good about you?
It all starts with you.
Though there's always the possibility your depression is clinical, as in, it's being caused by something physically wrong, like a chemical imbalance. If you have no aversion to using medical drugs to solve such a problem you may want to seek medical assistance.
You have a huge variety of options for making yourself better off, but none of them will work unless you do them. And it is a "do" kind of thing, not a "try" kind of thing, meaning that they will almost certainly not work at first, but are more likely to succeed the more you attempt them.
Remember, the only person who can stop you from solving your problems is yourself. Every step you take to make your life better will make all the difference.

This might sound like repeating cliches, but here is some pretty good advice in cliche form:
"Life does not stink - it's just a bit smelly and could do with a bath".
"When trapped in despair, the only escape is through time".
"When we come to the realisation that our thoughts 'create our own reality' every second of the day - We then start to think about what we want, instead of what we don't!"
Don't let negative thoughts reverberate round your head. Believe it or not, worrying is more than just a thought, it's actually takes time to worry - time that you could be spending on working on a project or learning something new. For a more detailed account of my own situation, see this post.
Also, one way of earning easy money is to set yourself up as someone who goes around to people's houses and fixes their computers. Just place a few adverts in local shop-windows and you'll be getting calls in no time - especially if there's a virus-epidemic. You'll be suprised at howmany broken computers there are out there. In fact, I think there's more broken computers than there are working computers!
I would go to the gym. Problem is the membership costs about 40€ (~50$) a month.
If you've got a bike, you can get great excersize by cycling round. If you live near mountains, you can walk in the mountains (not sure which part of Slovenia you live in, but I've always wanted to walk in the mountains of Northern Slovenia myself). If you want the soical aspect too, then find a local cycling or walking group. It's a good way to make new friends. In fact, one of my friends even met his current girlfriend this way.
You don't count. You're not even real. You are strange little men who live in the void that is the internet.
Anyway, me and the Allegro.cc psychiatrists hope you'll join the ranks of tha many who've pulled through and saw things turn their way.
Waking up next to a woman you DON'T want to wake up: 2 points

AE.
]]>I mean waking up with your hand trapped underneath and choosing to bite it off instead of awakening the beast. It's called the trapped wolf's hangover.

Well, I should say I do have friends, they are just not geographically close to me.
Same here! I think it comes from being intelligent. I started feeling better after my boss pointed that out to me actually. He's very good. He cares for his team and he does an excellent job.
"Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young." - Baz Luhrman in Everybody is Free (Sun Screen)
This is especially true if you're intelligent. There are fewer schools, universities and jobs that can bring the best out of you. You will be paid more and you will be able to afford to travel, either to go to such places or out of preference. You may have hobbies that take up a lot of your spare time. The same goes for all the people you connect with the most.
There are ways to meet people. At my company we have newsgroups and occasional outings to encourage colleagues to mingle, and if you can get invited to parties and the like, you can meet people beyond the office that way too. Away from all that, there's church, evening classes, societies if you can find them, and if it comes to it, dating services. There's also the Internet, and given the last paragraph, meeting people you know online shouldn't seem so absurd.
Hope you feel better soon

Yep. A case of quality over quantity (I know, an old cliché, but there's a lot of truth in it).

]]>I hope it is not too late, but I will just say this: Like attracts like [en.wikipedia.org].
That's no NEW AGE it's OLD WISDOM..;)
Magic/witchcraft in it's simpelest form.
But it's entirely true.
Don't believe me? tell yourself you're ill every 5 minutes and you'll be sick as a dog in a few hours.
]]>... Then I went to study in a city about 100km away and made friends there. Now that I've come back home, I'm away from them, and those friends I did have from before have moved away or are doing their own thing or whatever and I never kept contacts...
When you loose contact to close friends (close in the sense of "I see them everyday") it is as they would die or something. You just need some time to get over it.
EDIT: This post is a bit late, I think.

That's funny, I keep telling myself I'm rich, but the numbers tell me I'm in debt.
Sure, I can buy that boat, I'm rich! Sir, we ran a credit check on you, I'm afraid were going to have to take your wife. That's okay! I'm rich, I can buy her back! Sir, we're also going to have to take the clothes that you're wearing... Excellent! No one hates a naked rich man! Sir, no one likes you... ...I'm still rich.

Well, I should say I do have friends, they are just not geographically close to me.
Same here! I think it comes from being intelligent.
Maybe it also has to do with having an immagination as well as being intelligent. It's easy to spot dumb people, but once you get to know many people, you realise just how many of them lack any immagination whatsoever.
AE.
]]>Stick with imaginary friends then.
]]>Miran:
You really need to find some friends with similar interests.
Most people dislike their jobs.
They'll give you something to look forward to when you're not working.
Recently some of my friends moved 400 miles to rebuild a house.
I weighed my options and realized that my quality of life is better with them than without them.
I am now living with them and helping out.
I discovered the hard way that co-habitation isn't as fun as visitation.
But I don't regret it. Making new (quality) friends is even tougher.
Recently, I used Yahoo groups and meetup.com to find local tabletop roleplaying groups.
I would like to form a game design/programming club/team close to me (Pittsburgh, PA, USA), but finding others has been difficult so far. I haven't given up yet though.

What did we say about broken clichés? To the Dark Corner of Shame with you!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it?

This is a most structured conversion we're having. Hopefully this won't be the final post.

Bah, did we have to return to that again...
]]>You can try to switch the thread, but there is probably a catch.
]]>Just to throw it out there, this thread could use more fork.
]]>maybe you just need to christmasify your avatar.
Sounds like a great idea!

No, that will be when YOUR avatar changes...
On top of everything I'm now physically ill. I've had a slightly sore throat since about wednsday/thursday last week but it wasn't too bad and it was already getting better. But yesterday I had the brilliant idea of going running (in the cold) and today the throat got a lot worse.
That's funny, I keep telling myself I'm rich, but the numbers tell me I'm in debt.
maybe, BUT being rich is not necessarily about money;)
]]>Just to throw it out there, this thread could use more fork.
What this thread needs is more cowbell.
]]>maybe, BUT being rich is not necessarily about money;)
Kinda like rich, dark chocolate?
]]>On top of everything I'm now physically ill.
At least we differ at something
That conversation sure had class, but I guess it is now time to goto the original subject again...
Signed, the type-punner.
]]>Guys.. for the next time we have this kind of conversation, do keep on track while Miran is pointing out his problems.
Cheers.
]]>If it helps Miran, I think you're cool.
I second that. You are cool Miran and always helpful.
]]>On top of everything I'm now physically ill. I've had a slightly sore throat since about wednsday/thursday last week
Surprisingly, immune systems seem to respond to mood. So cheer up and it'll all be better!
Oh, and wash your hands more often
Once you are in the battlefiled, there is only one way to go! stand up, fight and never give up!:)
]]>Thirded. Miran, you're cool , helpful and brought us MASkinG .
AE.
]]>Yo cool, man!
Stop it, now you're just making fun of me! 
Take love drugs!
]]>Not really making fun of you, no. From what little I know of you, you seem pretty cool.
Shut up, Richard!"
]]>
Hope you feel better soon Miran! Have you felt depressed for a long time?
Have you felt depressed for a long time?
Since the day I graduated, which was last tuesday. The first few days were the worst (like really bad), but now it's already a bit better.
Have you felt depressed for a long time?
I know this was directed to Miran, but it made me laugh. Because I must say that from the 4th of July this year I feel constantly depressed. Sometimes fewer sometimes more.
]]>miran: you seem like an intelligent and friendly guy. While I agree that a friendship formed over the Internet may not be as strong as one formed in real life, it's always nice to know people by name when you come online. I love coming to Allegro.cc to totally geek out. Which is something that few of my RL friends have to offer! And Allegro.cc wouldn't be quite the same without you.
I suffer from OCD and have period depressive fits and panic attacks. But it gets better. You've just got to learn to take the good with the bad sometimes, I guess! Get well soon!
