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 feel like the rise of live service games and rogue-likes that are based around incremental progression definitely shifted the status quo to everyone having like 1 game, maybe 2, where they spend most of their time. Every game seems to demand you commit more and more time.

The only exception I can think of is Paradox Grand Strategy type games (which is my secondary "main" game)

Yeah, I have really gotten turned off by any game with "Daily Quests" in it. My compulsive need to collect ever zig makes me feel like an addict trying squeeze 30 minutes a day in for a full week.

It's like I'm waterboarding myself. When I come up for air, I hate the game and myself for playing it

This is me when I buy a pubg pass. It essentially means I have to play daily when I'd rather just play every could of days
