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.

What I can’t stand is the chaotic stupid choices being your only option for evil. Offer an evil route but make it more interesting than playing a character with poor impulse control and access to infinite puppies.

Cough cough Baldur's Gate 3... You either agree to help or aggro everyone.

If you've never tried it, the Wasteland series does evil very well. The game lets you go murder hobo, but that's not the actual evil route. The evil route is very interesting, and while the options are morally grey there's a clear good and bad choice

Wasteland 2 and 3 seem like a great deal of fun! The voice acting is campy and goofy in such an oddly nostalgic way, and it’s been far too long since I played socom. The original has fantastic charm and detail, but those menus…

In wastelands 3, it felt like the combat was really lobsided. If you got the first act on a turn, you destroy the enemies. Otherwise, you get your face bashed in.

I probably suck at the game, but it felt like that every encounter.

And not just railroad you into being good.
