I'm glad you've got enough to keep yourself going for the time being. I think you should really try and sort out your health issues before diving into game development, however if you do get round to making a game and need a writer let me know as I'd love to help.
OMG!!! And to think, I would have just bought Outlast myself earlier in the weekif I'd got my ESA payment on time. I'm almost glad I didn't now! Thanks to both Godofnerdiness and hohoXD123 for the generous gift!for £3.75 off GamersGate
And a heartfelt "whoa" at DocSeuss's donation. You gotta admit - however money-poor we are, we ain't poor for games!
Bundles + didn't know I was losing my job + been collecting since my last giveaway + some keys that unlocked from previous bundles.
I actually have a Patreon which hasn't been that active in part because of these real-life situations. It didn't really seem that successful because I never really got the word out, since I don't have a huge Twitter following (and that's more or less how it works). It's here.
I set up my fall schedule so I could write more (this was before losing my job), and I'm still willing to write to justify a Patreon. Heck, I'll even take requests for it if people wanted me to focus on anything. Basically: I'll write regardless, but I'd be glad to run a Patreon, but I don't really think it'll do that well. If I could get this other games journalism project I've wanted to do up and running, I think I could do some pretty awesome stuff with it, but I'm not really sure there's a market for a weird hybrid of Old Man Murray and Top Gear as a games website.
I can't really "sort out my health issues." It's a chronic thing that could cost... uh... ~$30-60k for just a couple years of treatment, which I can't afford. Best thing is to get started on what might help me earn money--so, something better than a minimum wage job.
I would like Assassin's Creed IV
I'd say something supportive of Doc, but there's no way I could outdo the rest of this thread. So I'll just wish you my best.
I have a gift copy of Takedown: Red Sabre. No idea how to get a code for it, or if I can. But I could gift it to you and you could regift it to the winner, or something.

Yes! That was great. Got the PM and already used the code. Thanks a lot and good to see so many games were donated and that the goal was reached.
If i can get a key soon i'll donate too. Thanks again. :]

Id like Velvet Assassin or Unearthed
Just making a funny about how Steam sales and indie bundles are "devaluing video games", I think Activision said? That's all. Not meant as a slight.
...shit. Kinda brings my own piddly problems into sharp relief. Stay strong, man.

Thanks. To all of you, of course, but especially comments like this.

Sure thing, I put it back in the OP.

Well, at least this has worked out for me so far. I really appreciate what ya'll have done, though there's only so much I can say. Every contribution helps immensely.

Well, some of you might have been right about things working out for me. In talking to my department's chair about a problematic teacher I had this semester, I found myself asking about other forms of financial aid. She brought up work study, and I indicated I was very familiar with it, having been a work study employee for more or less three years. So... they'd like me to reach out to them later this year for future employment. No summer, but there's a potential I'll end up getting something down the road.
I can still use all the assistance I can get--it's not a done deal--but it's a ray of hope.

That's great news, Doc. I hope it all comes to fruition.
By the way, that's a huge list of games you've got there, OP. Let's see if it draws enough attention for the new goal to be met.

That's great! My university has several bursaries for financial crisis/aid but most of them are fairly hidden - I really had to dig through a million things and fill out a dozen forms but eventually got some. Might be worth a bit more digging at yours, they seem to like making it a massive ballache to put people off in general.

Doc, in Britain, your boss can't terminate you from your Job without at least one months of pay to help you find new work. They also have rights that protect you if you believe that your employer has terminated you on wrongful grounds.
I haven't been following the thread until now but a good idea might be to find work as something like a cashier while you pursue something else.
A source of income, no matter what it is.
Also, is there anything to do with flight that you remember and/or can still help people with. A flight school or maybe even airport near you perhaps? It might be a longshot but it's worth a try to find some work there and build some contacts.
I can't possibly understand how scary this is being so young and not being in the position. Heck, I don't even know if my advice is helping but if there is a chance that it might, it was worth writing.

Nip a french fry now and again working at McDonalds.
