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.

Roguelikes. I'm not saying some of the modern roguelites aren't fantastic, there are many that are. But the genre boom has all but pushed traditional roguelikes (NetHack, ADoM, Angband, Brogue, etc) out of the conversation.
One of those things is not like the others.
Also you're missing Elona (2007), game where your wizard can dual wield rifles while riding on an abomination with the head of your pet cat, body of a tyrannosaurs rex and 8 claymore wielding human arms taken from your gene slaves. Or get rich while playing a piano and finish the game by using that sweet sweet moneh hiring adventures and sending them to die exploring the BBEG lair.
All with cheerful pokemon-like gameboy graphics.
