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 still have a copy of Minecraft: XBox One Edition I got for Christmas one year. I have never in my life owned an XBox One and I felt bad for my grandmother who did her best.

We've been there. I asked for Shadow Warrior as a kid and got Shadow Man. Couldn't even run the game so all I got was actually a neat box and manual.

I shouldn't have gotten either game, TBF, but parents didn't care.

I don't like old video games, but my partner does, and that's why I know that Altered Beast is about an undead that turns into a werewolf. That's love. Putting up with your family's weird obsessions because you love to hear them care about something.

I think parents who won't listen to their kids about their interests, even when it's a financial decision, don't love their kids enough.

Shadow Man is rad tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I learned that years later. Though I never bothered to play Shadow Warrior, only the remake/reboot.

Anon contributes to the downfall of GameStop, therefore sinking the memestock he really banked on for his retirement.

He sold 3 unreturnable copies, sounds like he did the store a favor lol
