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.

“…15,000 hours in this autistic PC game…”
Found another Star Citizen fan! 😆
Factorio
That's mostly because of programmers not autism, not all of us coders have autism. I mean I do, and I play Factorio, but these are all unrelated. I'm also trans and use Arch btw but those are irrelevant
This venn diagram looks like a circle, sir.

"It- it's correlation, i swear!" lol
I enjoyed the first run through of Factorio with friends, but it very quickly just became too much like work.
Like if I wanted to debug and fix a giant machine, I could do it on something productive.
:3 uwu
I think you meant EVE online
It's been a long time since I played Spreadsheets-In-Space. I knew it was time to quit when I could pay my monthly sub with isk earned in-game. It was becoming a second job of sorts. But I had a lot of easy success in high sec mining and getting margins out of it. But staring at mining lasers for hours on end was the worst part of it.
I was mostly in nullsec, and running fleets was really fun, but everything else was just mostly an idle-game. It got to the point where I was pretty much always running two accounts, and then I spoke the words "Maybe I should get a third monitor so I can scout ahead for myself".
Instead, I didn't do that, and that's probably a good thing.
On the other hand, I've discovered X4...
High sec is the tutorial. The game is about organizations and politics. If you don't get into that aspect of it in one of a thousand ways, you're not really playing the game.
Also, when you know what you're doing, null sec is safer than high sec.
Nah, the game is definitely about shooting mining lasers at rocks for hours to eventually get better lasers to shoot at more rocks. Not sure what game you played. All that politics stuff sounds dumb anyway 😉

Found a new game to play.
Also GregTech6 (Minecraft mod) is my autistic PC game
Is it the one with realistic trains?
No (although I do have that too), it's the one where crafting is more realistic, Iron ingot is hard to get because the ore is never native, and you have the entire periodic table to use. Also machines and mass manufacturing, and the machines are kinda delicate.
Gotta appreciate the complicated minecraft mods that add in all sorts of new ores and automation. Most of them have an inflection point where you can build a flywheel of resource gathering, processing, building and you begin strip mining down to bedrock.
That doesn’t narrow it down, aren’t there at least 3 mods with realistic trains?
GregTech6? I haven't played minecraft in a LONG time, damn.
I'm still using Minecraft version 1.7.10 for the mods! At least it feels new with Et Futurum Requiem
I've been playing VintageStory for pretty long time. It's pretty great if you like a slower, more hands-on minecraft. I like the processes of smithing/knapping/clayforming quite a lot, and it feels much more like an acomplishment when I get something going than in minecraft
I've been playing GunZ since 2004

Have y'all heard about rain world, perchance ?
