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.

Dude needs to stop playing predatory gacha games.

I don't understand people who WILLINGLY install that shit. They KNOW how they work and are monetized. And unlike gambling at a casino, there's zero chance of you being up money at any point.

I played Arknights for a bit because there's actually a pretty solid tower defense game in there. There's not a big selection of good games for Android and I wanted something I could play when I have no laptop with me.

Unfortunately the good gameplay is buried under tons of attention hogging gacha bullshit.

I stopped playing once I realized that I was spending more time doing chores than actually playing through interesting content. Also, while the BGM is nothing short of lavish, the presentation of the story is like a very cheap VN, which basically killed any hope of getting engaged in the story or the characters.

I didn't spend much more than maybe twenty bucks on it so it's not too bad given the partially solid gameplay. But yeah, I'm done with live service bullshit games.
