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.

If on PC, you can usually remove the abundant startup logo videos by finding the relevant video files in the install directory and either renaming them or deleting them. Just make sure if it's a steam game you disable the automatic update for it or it'll just redownload them.

For some games you can even just add -skipintro to the launch parameters.

Thanks for this. I like to be able to hop into games and save/quit at will. I have five minutes to play, I load the game, play for 4 minutes, save, quit, move on to whatever I have to get done next.

Works for single player stuff mostly, anything event/match based (TF2/CS2/fortnite/whatever) this doesn't work super good unless the match timer is less than the time I have free.

There's a good number of games that I have to intentionally make time to play, because I'm not waiting through 3-4 minutes of bullshit to play for 10 minutes. It's just not going to happen.

So by eliminating the title screen/splash screen garbage, I might be able to have a quick session of game between tasks.
