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.

Love to spend $70 on a game and then spend another thirty minutes to an hour learning how to hotwire it to start in a timely manner.

But think of the time saved! Only need to launch it 30-60 times for that payoff.

There's your problem, you're buying new games!

usually it boils down to deleting a specific file or adding a parameter (a symbol and a short word) to the launched application, but I'm not here to judge other people's reading speed.

Sure. But finding which file/character to alter isn't intuitive. It typically requires knowing about a forum where people fix this stuff all the time or pitting your GoogleFu against whatever godless SEO and anti-optimization your favorite search engine is running.
