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.

You also need an ISP, which isn't free either.

If you have a non-sucking ISP, you don't need a VPN. But a VPN is incredibly cheap, so just lump it in mentally with the cost of the internet service.

You also need something to play the games on, a place to play them, electricity for the internet and device, etc., and none of them are free. But they're also not exclusively used for playing a single game, unlike the single game you're pirating instead of buying.
