A game is something that has a goal within certain bounds/rules. You accept that when you play and tedium isn't relivent except as maybe a thing you don't like, just like you might not like how a piece feels or character looks or a particular rule.

A toy is something you play with for "fun".

I think people that want a toy accidentally start playing a game then get upset that it isnt a toy.

Why can't/shouldn't a game be both? Plenty of games have easy modes and cheat CONSOLES.

They CAN be, but they are not obligated to be.

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.
