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.

When things get big it'd usually because the hobby is changed in a way that makes it accessible to more people. Sometimes the things you found fun/interesting about the hobby was that thing that made it hard for others to get into. Now you're left with a watered down shit version of your hobby and a bunch of people who talk about the watered down shit version the same way you talk about the good version.
Old school runescape is ruined and I'm sick of pretending like it's not. We need oldschool-oldschool runescape 2 start it pre zulrah and nothing gets passed without 75% votes and boss drop-tables must be community approved.
Reminds me when Pokemon Go was the hot shit that got everybody outside and walking to play it
It felt like a true callback to 90s Pokemania... but only 90s Pokemania. PoGo at the time only had the original 151 in it, and it seemed all anyone had connecting them to the property was hazy nostalgic memories of Ash and Pikachu walking through the Kanto region on the TV twenty years ago.
Meanwhile I, with my 3DS and copy of Pokemon Omega Ruby in hand, far more fascinated with facets of this franchise that had happened long since that gilded age, didn't really have anything new to connect over with anyone. And then the fad died and everyone stopped caring again. :/
