I was into anime cartoons in the ‘80s, read Fantasy, D&D, and Sci-Fi, was into computers and gaming since the Atari, and a dose of neurospicy did absolutely no favors. Likely the ND drove me to the hobbies I enjoyed because they were escapes from the shittiness of the world outside of them. Yeah, I absolutely got bullied and pushed to the fringes.

At any rate, I don’t dwell on it, but the “mainstreaming” of things like IT and gaming has filled them up with assholes and jocks using them as dick measuring contests. It’s now a power play to be a CTO or IT coder or some kind of popular game streamer instead of a geek playing with computers.

It’s not the same world anymore. Probably why I haven’t used VoIP chat in any game for near a decade now. Too many assholes.

Yeah I miss real nerds. Everyone thinks they can type a prompt and be all "computery" when they dont know fuck.

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.
