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.

I know this is screaming into the void on a 4chan community, but if you're smashing electronics in fits of rage you should probably go to therapy.

...unless it's an N64 controller, and you just got blueshell'd in Mario Kart/Oddjob'd in GoldenEye, in which case that's perfectly normal behavior

unless it's an N64 controller

is sufficient (I always hated that thing and still don't know how to hold it -- I didn't have an N64 and only played it a few times).

Holding it is very easy. This is how you do it:

The answer is that you needed a different controller layout for different games so you would grab the handles that were needed essentially allowing for about 4 different options.

The problem was definitely when everyone started realizing if you had the buttons they wanted to program them to do something and you had to get weird with reaching between.

Xbox controller is also fine, as long as you intend on ordering a new one only to get a bong in the mail

If you’re still losing to blue shell in Mario kart after all this time please delete the game and stop wasting your time

Oddjob’d in GoldenEye

The deep knowledge

Nah therapy is bad. Instead, start drinking and buy a gun. It makes life a lot more fun.

some of them have it coming

Anon needs anger management therapy, ignores warning signs.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Maybe don't be a little baby who breaks things in a fit of rage. Next time you feel like taking your anger out on physical object, simply don't. Breaking something, feeling bad about it, and learning from the experience is an important part of growing up.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Yeah. Insults. That's how angry people learn.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Some people are not taught, by their parents, how to handle anger or frustration. I don’t think we should be calling them out for this, as people don’t learn that way.

Now I feel bad for a phone

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

I'm gonna guess emotionally stunted development, but that's just a guess from someone who has spent a lifetime recovering from the same. I haven't fucked myself over by doing shit like breaking my own property in years. Therapy helps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

anon doesn't know how to fix a phone

Some of you feel sorry for the creamer, that is because you are crazy. Tacky items are easily replaced by better ones, from Ikea.

This reads like a bad AI wrote it.

[–] ThrowawayPermanente 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's from an old commercial, pre-AI

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Jesus dude that reference is getting downright esoteric lol I don't think I've ever seen a television ad for Ikea before lol

Here it is for anyone who was as confused as I was

[–] ThrowawayPermanente 3 points 9 months ago

It's the only Ikea ad I can ever remember seeing
