(PSN)NearlyDedicated Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Hope he feels better, but it's his choice. While it's sad to see him go, these kinds of things should be done only for the fun of it. We'd love it if you'd stay, StallordD! But if you're not having fun, don't make your hobby an obligation.

sappinmahsentry Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 This hit me hard, because I know people who have problems like and worse than these. It's all too real. If you don't have a therapist please do get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)MoRockaPDX Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 It can be good to step away, decompress and try something else. Learn, stretch out and grow, and after awhile look back with fresh eyes and see what you see. Starllordd if you are reading these, thanks for your efforts and insights. Best of luck to you on your future endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM-Bunny Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) It's pretty obvious from the tone of the video that he's struggling with some form of depression. This behaviour - although hopefully localized to his artistic endeavours - IS self-destructive. I shouldn't have to tell you that situations like this can easily escalate out of control. Try to be more sympathetic. If you don't know him and don't care to, fine, you don't have to criticize others for showing support to someone in a time of need.

NoeleVeerod Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) I enjoyed his stuff. He has gained the respect and the admiration of so many Warframe players, it would be a shame if he decided to quit. He also managed to collect Warframe tracks for everyone to listen before getting into lore videos, and I absolutely loved that.

(PSN)Pengu_Imperialus Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Sad to hear. I haven't watched the video yet so I can't speak to whether he appears depressed or not. If it is depression the Tenno are doing the right thing and being supportive. I enjoyed his lore videos a lot, and he's definitely got a talent for editing. If anyone knows him IRL just keep an eye on him. If it really is depression I've been there and you aren't going to be able to talk around it. He wont be thinking clearly. Just keep an eye on him and encourage him to get help. I had to get on meds (which take a while to really know if they are helping) and then once I could think clearly got into therapy. And Stallordd, if you happen to read this, please know that the world isn't as dark as it seems. Depression makes everything look hopeless, but it's just a filter preventing you from seeing how beautiful the world is. You do good work, we are our own harshest critic sometimes.

Jaruis Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 StallordD, if you aer reading this, I have two words for you: Stop Stop thinking about quitting. Stop trying to think you're lower than every other person. Stop thinking you're insignificant and below than others. You have people here that still support you. A lot of the warframe community believes that you created a major impact, from your funny quirky sfms to your music, and I could go on to list your most awesome successes for the community. It's your choice on whether to quit, but follow your passions. Don't drag yourself down. The community and I got your back dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianJellyfish Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Aye, I recognise this. I don't know Stal that well, but I hope he's doing well and will read this thread. I, too, have been doing art and creating things ever since I can recall, and still today I have more projects and ideas than I can possibly count, but I understand most of them will never be accomplished. Somedays I feel I lack the skill, the inspiration or just the time to work. While everything was good, I could just sit and take small steps, build things little by little, see where that went. When all went bad, I just wanted to quit. Move on, do something else that I'd be better at. But the truth is, I'd never be better at anything unless I tried harder and harder. I'm not an artist. I never wanted to pursue an artistic career because I know my motivation is too volatile for me to rely on it. I greatly admire those who have the mental strength to endure it. But I've never stopped creating because of that. When I first posted my works online, I had no idea what to expect. Today, I look back and I see how far I went, and I don't regret a thing. I don't get half of the feedback you do, Stal. But that never made me want to stop. I've struggled, a lot, and I've been at the bottom of the pit more often than I'd like to admit. But I've made it my goal to climb out of it, and try not to fall again... There will always be something you can't do, there will always be someone who does things better than you. But what you make is also what makes you you, something no one else can be. Your works are yours, and no one else's. If you can love them, then they're worth it, regardless of quality or effort. If you can only hate them, change. Create new things that you love. But don't stop. Not because we tell you to, but do it for yourself. If you need help getting back upon your feet, seek that help. As Bunny pointed out, depression is a serious thing. Never let that control your actions. Stay strong. Fight it. I'm sorry, I'm verbose. This is not only for Stallord, but for anyone that might be dealing with these same issues. To close this, it's a lie to say I'm not at a loss for not having more works from Stal. His videos were a reason I even popped into SFM and tried to make something with it. I wish I only had 20% of that talent. But that was also my motivation to keep working, and keep improving. Even if it's hard, even if it takes a time I can't afford. But I'll keep trying. Tatejepp teppoj Ytejsat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancars Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Depression eats away at you and things you love. Fighting it is hard sometimes. I think he needs someone to talk to. I just use my imagination to manage it. Warframe helps with it and adds to imagination. Edited November 3, 2015 by Lancars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Void-Shyrok Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I know what its like somewhat my brother went through depression in a hospital. So as a family member i knew what it did. If you have even the slightest idea of getting help do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilemyre Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Depression shouldnt be taken lightly, psychiatric consult will seriously help Depends, the pressure could worsen it. I got through mine through solitude and thinking to myself why I was like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OniDax Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Well this thread wasn't necessary OP, particularly your personal response. Whatever his reasons are, take that at face value. And if it is truly depression that's going on, then your response, in the way that it's worded, is still not helpful to the situation. Oh, and let's not assume what he's going through. We don't have to assume that he's depressed in order to try to encourage him to continue or to simply build up his confidence. Just tell him how good we think he is and don't rant about it on Youtube and on the forums. For StallordD - I personally liked your videos, and while I haven't seen them all, I appreciate what you do in this community. What ever you do, be confident. And thank you for being a pillar in this community (in my opinion, at least). Edited November 3, 2015 by AntoineFlemming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BETAOPTICS Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Yeah he clearly has a manic depressive season going on now, caused by some life event or something of the sort.But for StallordD, the content is suberb. One of the best Warframe channels out there and much less subscribed than it should. Edited November 3, 2015 by BETAOPTICS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)MK Ultra K11 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 NO. Your videos are amazing. You are great at what you do and supply the Warframe community with videos that are hilarious. Whatever/whoever is making you feel this way need to be shut out completely. I wont let you leave. *Grabs onto leg* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBones Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The burnout is real. Taking some time away can really help renew your love for something. Hopefully we get to see more awesome SFM stuff from the man himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
