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.

Don't worry, gaming is quickly becoming unaffordable to anyone without a serious income stream.

im broke and im gaming on a borderline e-waste pc (which i bought for cheap used) and a steam deck from pre-price hike and buying games off humble bundle and deep discounts on steam

i also have a ps4 pro (which i bought used for next to nothing) from before i moved to this tiny apartment and could do couch gaming

it's possible but you gotta not buy the latest and most expensive games. idk why anyone would do that in the first place tho, theres so many games to play that are just as good and are way cheaper

but they fund the development of those games tho so i dont mind i guess ๐Ÿคท

Gaming systems are made for the top 10% now. They are fully rejecting regular consumers and focusing entirely on the high end market.

Basically they want to cater the economy to the top 10% and neglect the bottom 90%. This is one reason why everything is so damn expensive. Budget options aren't a thing anymore.
