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.

Nothing better than breaking one of those cycles and realizing you're free.

China banning dailies seems good actually

I played Pokemon Red on an emulator on a night shift at work and it was a pretty awesome experience. I can't imagine the idea of live service games existing. I think there's something to be said about connectivity and discoverability but yeah man. Yeah.

Pokemon games are amazing to do while working.

It is one of the few games where you can literally pause at any second by tabbing away, since the game only progresses when receiving input.

Have you tried it with a randomiser? Would recommend if you haven't!

In my experience it will just loop to a new one

Over the last year I went from Marvel Snap > DBZ Dokkan > Snap > Arknights > Snap > Dokkan again with a healthy smattering with OSRS mixed in.

I know that feeling. Though I went straight to my steam backlog so I traded one addiction for another.

That's usually how it goes. The trick is remembering the addiction trading isn't a one time event.
