This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah that's definitely no good. Thankfully zorking yourself is basically unheard of in modern game design.

Yeah but achievements exist.

Maybe I did need to carry that garden gnome throughout the entire game and send it into space.

Then you could get some replay value out of the game. Sometimes I find having goals in the game can help motivate the desire to play, even if I don't end up going for them.

I hadn't really thought of them that way before but you're right. That is often where the missable stuff is now.
