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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah and then you watch a YouTube video from a guy who has 10,000hrs invested who shows you a build and somehow it just works. And then you play with the build and it's better than anything you've made. And then it turns out that it's because of some weird mechanic where the stat is applied exponentially in this case when in every other case it's not and nobody knows if it's intentional or if it was just accidentally implemented that way.
I started watching someone speedrun diablo 2 and it made me better at Grim Dawn. Kinda embarassing that it took that for me to realize that sometimes it's better to just ignore the mobs and run past them. Don't worry about missing XP, there's always more mobs that give even more XP later on.
POE/POE2 players could learn this lesson.
Is there a genre for this particular kind of video yet? Not just character builds but ones based on esoteric inner knowledge of the engine
Yeah, this is warframe
