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.

What pisses me off for the most part is that you first load the intro video, then you skip that and is just taken to a static screen where you click/press enter to continue, then it has to login so you wait again.
Why can't the game logon while the videos are playing?
Multithreading will be covered in Game Development 201.
I'm pretty sure the unskippable videos are hiding the loading portions of the initial game.
For sure not true for a lot of games. Surely all the videos before the main menu isn't it loading the main menu? How much processing power could a menu possibly take.
I think there are absolutely games that need the loading time
Source engine games still don't load until after the bald man Valve intro is done playing. It's been like 25 years.
