I feel like what happened in that kindergarten was one big bad scheme, a farce, or I'm just still not understanding what happened but what matters is that I behaved just the way I am so there's nothing I can do. I did nothing wrong. I can only mourn the loss, it's not like I can bring it back. I can not bring the people back that "died". I will try to find new people, a new kindergarten.
MUGG, I know this might be difficult to hear and you might not be in a state to take positive action on this, but one thing you can and you should do, is reflect on the criticism you receive and see what you could do differently. I know it's easy to feel like a victim, but one should always find ways to improve themselves. It's not easy and not something you can do this weekend, especially when you are dealing with severe depression. What I want to emphasize, is that I'm not blaming you for anything.

@Warp, I did ask those people at the kindergarten what I did wrong. They say there are plenty, but they never told me about them because I'm easy to frustrate so they didn't tell me anything.
- I'm showing up to work late, because nobody complained. The former group leader said until 9 am is ok so that's what I went with.
- The children playing too 'drastically' with me
- I'm not motivated doing tasks like cleaning the house or watering the flowers, since I'm not paid
- I'm breaking rules. Specifically, one of the children told me they couldn't go to that one field of grass, I asked "who said that", "the adults", "I'm an adult". I have seen one other adult from our team on that field of grass with the children and so I thought it was ok for me to go there. I didn't see that there was a rule but then I was told I'm breaking the rules.
What you need to see here, is that people expected more from you in your work environment. Saying that you are just you and did nothing wrong, reflects badly upon your abilities to cope and adapt as well as improve your skills as an employee. They also did wrong withholding criticism from you. Openness is essential in a community.
The children seem to like you. Take the positive energy you receive from them and use it to make yourself whole again. A psychiatrist is someone you should see, since you are feeling suicidal. Please, contact one as soon as possible and start the journey of being yourself again. I hope I got through, since it's such a shame to see a person like you feel so lost and alone.
You can also always message me privately, if there's something you want to talk about.

I wonder what Nintendo would say if the author made some changes, like called the game "Motreid 2: Return of Sumas". The main character could also be made to look like a man in a bikini and the world map could be a mirror image of the original. Yeah, try to sue that, Nintendo!

Watch all movies and TV series without subtitles. (Yes, I'm being completely serious, and it does work. With time it will improve your English significantly.)
Actually, start with watching English speaking movies with English subtitles. It'll ease you in nicely.

How to improve my English?
Study and use the language as often as you can. I'm sure you can find a book on grammar which would be the first thing to get. Then do some exercises on your own level, study vocabulary and read and write in English. I would suggest a study book for this as well. The key is regular use and regular study sessions.
Back when I was a kid, I used to play adventure games like Monkey Island and such a lot. Whenever I encountered a word I was not familiar with, I found it in the dictionary. I became familiar with quite a large vocabulary and because of that, I started to notice and learn the patterns in grammar quite fast. By the time I started to take English classes in the third grade I was prominent in it and cruised through the classes. I had a great teacher as well. She noticed my skills and encouraged me to do more difficult exercises and gave me as much extra material as I asked for.

Warp, if you have a good phone, go grab a pair of these cardboard frames from Clas Ohlson and stream your desktop to your phone. I've heard it works fine and it is affordable, if you have a phone that's capable.
I think this petition is futile, as are about 99.99% of all online petitions. Sites that don't require you to confirm your identity in any way don't have that much power in the eyes of people and I can understand why.

Wow, a great improvement! Nice to see someone else working on this run. Good job, Alyosha. And since I didn't really do anything for this improvement, I'd like my name taken from this run. Credit where it's due and this is all Alyosha.

One final note here is that there is actually an unseen enemy behavior that I noticed during some of my tests and research. Apparently enemies can also lay prone and shoot you, thereby avoiding both high and low shots. I'm not entirely sure at what level this appears at, or if it's worth playing up to that level to see it. I'll leave that decision up to the judges/audience.
The enemies do that from the first level on, I think. I remember that trying to play the third or the fourth level in real time and it was just impossible due to two enemies being in the same spot, one proned and one standing just shooting non-stop. This game is really difficult, even though it doesn't seem like it looking at a TAS.

So, I started a 100 % run a couple of years ago or so and didn't finish even the first world. It's a lot faster than the currently published 100 % run and a bit faster than Aglar's any % run. So if anyone is up to improving the 100 % run, here's my WIP: https://www.dropbox.com/s/od0x7xzacc7oplc/Brushy_mckidsfull.bk2?dl=0.
Have fun!

I remember playing an old 3D adventure platformer of some kind in the later 90's, where the main character somehow reminded me of Rayman, but I think he was blueish. In the beginning of the game there were choices where you could go and one of them was a mountain of some kind, which you could slide down on a silver tray. One other place was a cave or a factory or something. If I recall correctly, there was something on fire in there. That's all I can remember. Any help finding the game will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: FerretWarlord pointed out that the game is Tonic Trouble. Thanks, FerretWarlord!

I would like to point out that I did not partake in team 4's final result and would like to exclude my name from everything (I actually thought I already mentioned this to Mothrayas, but I guess I didn't). I did some preliminary testing in the beginning of the competition, but it didn't amount to anything.
I would like to thank Mothrayas for organising this competition, congratulate all the teams that finished and give special congratulations to team AAA for winning. I would also like to thank and apologise to my team mates for letting me be a crummy part of the team.

If the original content in this game would be three or four opponents you don't fight in the actual game, then I would understand. But this is just an extremely short sparring session with your coach. It also seems that it wouldn't take more than couple of minutes to beat unassisted, but I might be mistaken about that.

Here's a smaller version:
