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.

The Nemesis system in the LOTR games is a perfect example

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 hours ago

Didn't Warframe do basically a nemesis system with Kuva Liches, Sisters of Parvos and Technocyte Codas?

Recurring boss that you need to find the weakness of via trial and error, can be killed for super nice loot or turned into a minion?

Taunts you and acts as a personal nemesis with a generated personality and looks?

Isn't that basically the only example? How many other cases do you ever hear people talk about? Obviously there are others, I see others given in this post, but you never really hear about them.

I thought there was one on games during loading screens or something as well

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

When games had long load times, there was a company that patented putting short and quick to load mini games on screen instead of loading screens you just stared at.

And nobody pateneted the loading screen slideshow with game tips? Im shocked

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

Unironically it was likely done too many times before someone thought of patenting it.

Dragon ball fighting games did the little cloud thing
