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.

The DS Lite was such a good little handheld. Especially with a flashcart in both ports. The GBA one I had couldn't hold a ROM, you had to flash it from the DS one every time, but GBA games weren't big, I didn't have many, and I had a huge SD card in my flashcart.
Even in pink. (I'd just put stickers all over it, then put a clear clamshell case on it because those stickers would get icky.) (Not that I don't like the pink DSL. It's a fine look. I just prefer my electronics to be black.)
There was one kind of DS that could detect other DS's nearby, and you'd get little rewards for things like how far you walked and how many other people you walked past that also had a DS in their bag. One time I got home and I'd apparently walked past a Nintendo employee at some point and got a special achievement thing for it!
This person SuperCards
Did you also have a SuperKey for DS games? God converting those was an absolute bitch and compatibility was never guaranteed especially for a new release. Remember the ARM7 patch you had to do with them??
Okay I'll stop reminiscing about vintage piracy now
