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.

When already planning to quit again after a gacha relapse a few years back, I remember thinking "I'll wait till this event is done", but then the next event starts, then the next, then the next and they all overlap at least a little and I didn't want to miss out.

These games made me feel like it was important " work", that I was building up to something and that mastery and improvement was as easy as showing up and doing dailies.

Yeah, dark patterns in gaming absolutely suck
