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 hate live service games. They also seem to be all anyone ever talks about.

I just don't understand how people can get so sucked into gacha games. All the art design, the game world, all the other stuff they try to use to camouflage the slot machine, none of that stuff works more than a few hours. Once you see the "seams" of the skinner box, once it becomes blindingly obvious there's nothing to find at the "end" of chasing higher DPS or whatever, why do people continue? It loses any sense of fun the moment it happens.

It is about escaping.
