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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I was into anime cartoons in the ‘80s, read Fantasy, D&D, and Sci-Fi, was into computers and gaming since the Atari, and a dose of neurospicy did absolutely no favors. Likely the ND drove me to the hobbies I enjoyed because they were escapes from the shittiness of the world outside of them. Yeah, I absolutely got bullied and pushed to the fringes.
At any rate, I don’t dwell on it, but the “mainstreaming” of things like IT and gaming has filled them up with assholes and jocks using them as dick measuring contests. It’s now a power play to be a CTO or IT coder or some kind of popular game streamer instead of a geek playing with computers.
It’s not the same world anymore. Probably why I haven’t used VoIP chat in any game for near a decade now. Too many assholes.
You make a valid point on filling the space, my example being the types of games that are mainstream. Haven't played an FPS in probably 5 or more years for similar reasons to what you stated, and feel like that's all that's churned out now. Just copy pasted ultra competitive stale shit with no real creativity. I tend to stick to indie for this reason now and will play co-op with friends, but even there there's holes of competitive garbage to fall into. Anyway, appreciate the insight.
Yeah I miss real nerds. Everyone thinks they can type a prompt and be all "computery" when they dont know fuck.
