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.

in real life things don't have to be programmed for you to be able to interact with them. in games they do. and most things will be non-interactive set dressing.

the reason old games didn't need this is because they only had environment + interactive objects and characters. no decoration. "realistic" games today couldn't get away with empty buildings and rooms with no objects except health packs and ammo.
