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.

Create FOMO for players so they continuously check in and play to unlock stuff so they never miss out on an opportunity

This comment made me mad at Destiny 2 again.

[–] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

Your anger is pure and justified.

Someone say something about rocket League?

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Rocket League taught to not worry about missing out. The amount of mundane shit that you can get for toppers and antennas are ridiculous. I think they've modeled about every cheapo thing you can find at a dollar store. I think they are making their way through TJ Maxx crud atm. I'll be back when I can get a mildly used, mid-century, black, faux leather couch with purple highlights, and a Striker tag.

Same, fuck Bungie

I've reached the point where if a game gives me FOMO I will just stop playing the game

This is basically how I play Forza. Play a couple days to get my weeklys and then check in the next week

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are you playing then or are you just doing a todo list every week?

[–] ShootBANGdang@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

If they want to play the game, might as well do a few interesting challenges and earn some cool shit.

[–] jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Drop that shit man

Play something you actually enjoy

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I do enjoy it, there's just not much to do outside of that

FoMO is a powerful psychological weapon.
