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.

me in the default skin, just having fun with the game because it's actually a decent game: You have no power here.

Even funnier in shooters with somewhat realistic aesthetics adding super bright, garrish outfits that cost money but also light you up like a Christmas tree to every serious player in the game. Y'all are dumb dressing like a fuckin' traffic cone. I'ma stay in these drab brown and green coverings and blend in with the trees.

I play Elder Scrolls: Online. While I do sometimes buy outfits or mounts with "seals of endeavor" (rewards for just doing normal in-game stuff) it's stuff that fits the style of the game and blends in. I will never get the fascination with mounts that roar super loud as they explode forth from the earth in a gigantic flash of red light and then glow continuously while in use; or the players spooked out like clowns in ridiculous outfits that, believe it or not, also glow in bright colors. It breaks immersion so much. I know it's an MMO and it's not the same as a single player game, but come on. Does stuff have to be so tacky?
