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.

The games lure you into the “right direction“ with their difficulty. And then there is I, an intellectual, who dies to skeletons for 4 hours straight at the start of DS1.

Playing these games for the first time was incredible ❤️

Also died to skellies on DS1 for hours. Not my fault they hid the correct path.

Yeah you gotta hit that New Londo first. It's right there.

In hindsight, the respawning should have been a hint. But it took me a while to get it.

Imagine not immediately rushing towards the skellies to get that sweet zweihander that trivializes 1/3 of the game.

Later play throughs normalised the Fathers Mask run. Because as we all know

I used every trick I could think of bashing my head against those skeletons, then I got to the giant one and wanted to throw my controller, then I finally got underground and cried.

It was the unkillable ghosts of New Londo for me.
