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.

Actively playing games requires concentration, thinking, planning, quick reaction etc. and many games include long stretches that test your tolerance for frustration. Meanwhile, game streams can be a completely passive activity that add an illusion of company and let you stuff your face with snacks.
Plus, there are certain games that I suck at that have decent stories. And some games have decent stories but practically no gameplay.
Plus, my gaming PC is on my desk, which is not as comfortable as a couch or bed.
Now this part I personally dislike; if it feels like but is not actually building my social connectivity, then I think that's better to avoid, emotionally speaking. I try to scratch that itch by watching friends personally stream titles, or by being the streamer for private circles of mostly/only people I know IRL. We also play a lot on Board Game Arena.
Well, my friends don't stream and I sleep at weird hours. I don't have a ton of good alternatives, and it's not like I'm participating in chat or donating lots of money.
Gotcha, that's a tricky situation.
The aback I was taken had nothing to do with your comment, but the fact that I am absolutely certain I know what shape you are. Wild.
Probably not true, though.
