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.

RIP text based tutorials from gamefaqs: We all miss you.
I wrote those back then. And game reviews.
A hero walks among us!
I dunno. It's nice having at least some visual guidance that wasn't graphed out in Notepad.
I played Postal 2 and got stuck after a huge setpiece at the mall. I looked up a guide that just said "go through the shipping containers." I knew where the pile of shipping containers was, but could not for the life of me figure out where the fuck they had any way through.
An entire decade later, I bought it on Steam, played it on much nicer settings, and got stuck at the same damn part. I looked up what was probably the same guide. But this time - I found the one container that was open just enough to get in, and was open at the other side.
If someone claimed that Running With Scissors uploaded a fake pirate version where there just wasn't a way past that part, I would probably believe them.
