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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Interesting dog whistle...
A movie with extra steps.
It's not just "press a button" either, for some reason you have to hold it
At least they are finally putting the option to remove this hold thing, but it's somehow in the accessibility area?
For immersion.
If on PC, you can usually remove the abundant startup logo videos by finding the relevant video files in the install directory and either renaming them or deleting them. Just make sure if it's a steam game you disable the automatic update for it or it'll just redownload them.
For some games you can even just add -skipintro to the launch parameters.
Thanks for this. I like to be able to hop into games and save/quit at will. I have five minutes to play, I load the game, play for 4 minutes, save, quit, move on to whatever I have to get done next.
Works for single player stuff mostly, anything event/match based (TF2/CS2/fortnite/whatever) this doesn't work super good unless the match timer is less than the time I have free.
There's a good number of games that I have to intentionally make time to play, because I'm not waiting through 3-4 minutes of bullshit to play for 10 minutes. It's just not going to happen.
So by eliminating the title screen/splash screen garbage, I might be able to have a quick session of game between tasks.
First website I go to before booting up a game: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com
Absolute GOAT for finding fixes or workarounds to nearly everything these days. If I have an issue not mentioned on it, I know I'm fucked because it's probably a rare issue. lol
Every time I want to play Lego DC Super Villains I have to go through this intro which lasts an entire minute. Unskippable, by the way. That game is awesome, but that intro is only worth watching it on the first time.

This is a simple mod that doesn't add anything new to the game, but instead makes some small 'quality-of-life' changes to things already present in-game, making the experience slightly different and hopefully more enjoyable and/or immersive. No new models/textures/effects are applied by this mod, only a few script changes to the base game.
· Fast Boot- Makes the startup screen and cutscene (LEGO,DC,Tt logos) faster and skippable, respectively.
· Rush Start - Some unskippable cutscenes can now be skipped (e.g.: can skip level 0 cutscene and jump right into character creator)
· More Characters- Unlocks "hidden" unobtainable character and animal.
· More Vehicles- Unlocks every "hidden" unobtainable vehicle and turret.
· No Bad Words - Custom characters are allowed to be named anything, all 'bad words' have been removed.
· Kill Everything - Civilians, Babies and animals can now be killed, they can even fight back when attacked.
· Bigfig Ride- Allows Bigfigs to use vehicles and ride animals
· Grabs Extended- Allows to use Grab moves and executions on followers (or other player) and civilians. Cannot be performed on all characters.
· Faster Credits - End credits scroll much faster and are forced to finish 156 seconds in, instead of 900 seconds (15 min), ensuring only one playback of the "I fought the law" song. Credits can still be skipped at any time.
· Customizing+ (experimental and buggy) - Custom characters can now use more than one body attachment part at once and with every hair, without limits.
This mod is useful, but I can't use it. I only play this game on the Nintendo Switch, and I won't mod it due to damage concerns.
"You're finally awake"
Legit one of the best games every though
You were crossing the border, right?
"Border? I was supposed to be on a boat headed to Vvardenfell!"
What pisses me off for the most part is that you first load the intro video, then you skip that and is just taken to a static screen where you click/press enter to continue, then it has to login so you wait again.
Why can't the game logon while the videos are playing?
I'm pretty sure the unskippable videos are hiding the loading portions of the initial game.
For sure not true for a lot of games. Surely all the videos before the main menu isn't it loading the main menu? How much processing power could a menu possibly take.
I think there are absolutely games that need the loading time
