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.

Were you playing Remastered or Prepare to Die? If it was the OG Prepare to Die release...yeah that thing is a buggy mess and you'd probably have further frustrations with it later on. Remastered doesn't crash very often though, and the game is pretty good about saving progress, you could've hopped back on!

You also probably didn't have a cute boy cheering you on and trying to motivate you to improve either, which I really think would improve the experience of failing to kill Asylum Demon, but I don't think my ex agreed.

I think it was Prepare to Die on XBox 360. My XBox also had trouble reading disks, so it could also be the disk drive.

I have since purchased on PC and will give it another shot at some point, I think my anger has subsided over the past 10 years.

And not sure a cute boy would help, I'm more into women ๐Ÿ˜œ

But either my SO or one of my kids cheering me on would certainly help. I did crush the Asylum Demon, I rage quit somewhere on the tower. I've since played several difficult-ish games (Ys series esp Ys1 and Ys Origin, Furi, Titan Souls), I just haven't gotten back to DS.
