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.

I'm just gonna put this anecdote out there:
When I first started dating my ex, I wanted him to play through some Dark Souls to see if he had any determination. He failed completely and whined a lot, but I kept dating him anyway. Nearly 5 years later, I ended up leaving him, and a big part of it was his defeatist outlook and complete lack of willpower.
I'm not saying being bad at Dark Souls is a red flag, but I think girlie would be justified in getting out now.
But here's the thing - I didn't enjoy dark souls when I tried, but I do enjoy other games that are very difficult for me and where I need to be determined to win
That's fair, and that's why I stayed with him for 5 years after watching him ragequit after losing 15 times to Asylum Demon. I was hopeful that it was just him bouncing off the game, and I also assumed he'd have other moments where he could show me what he was worth under stress. He never did, and eventually I became fully responsible for the both of us.
Like I said, being bad at DS isn't a red flag. Having no determination and constantly giving up at the first sign of adversity is a red flag. There's a very faint correlation between the two, but that's all.
