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.

I’ve had a similar experience.

For me it was more accessibility issues like timely checkpoints and not forcing the player to button mash.

I realized that a lot of my childhood gaming was possible because I just put up with gaming mechanics that need a lot of time and patience.

The past: don’t know what to do? Spend an hour just trying things and if that doesn’t work, try again tomorrow.

Today: don’t know what to do? This game has half an hour to give me a hint or I’m moving on to the next game cause I’m here to have fun damn it!
