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.

It seems like everyone has already forgotten how he introduced gambling to kids.

The power vacuum this man will leave behind sucks.

As a fan of TF2, I'll quote another greentext: "does nothing, competition keeps shooting themself in the foot." It was about Overwatch vs TF2, but it's mostly similar.

GabeN is one of those guys who'll likely die a hero. Whoever comes after him has a chance of selling out and enshittifying everything he built though.

In addition to everything said, I'm pretty sure it was Oculus and John Carmack who did most of the work on getting VR to where it is.

Half-Life: Alyx is still the best FPS VR game I've played. Great story, environment, production values, variety, everything.

Yeah, I've played it using my Oculus Quest 1, too. It is the most game-like VR game, as opposed to most VR games that are more mini-games. But I've definitely spent more time in those mini-games than Alyx.

Steam refused to issue refunds for a long, long time. In the end they started allowing refunds for everyone because governments started requiring it and it was easier to just allow them for everyone than having to do the legal footwork to have different policies based on geography.

Totally untrue that they will replace faulty hardware. Was one of the first people to buy the Index. After a year the headset just stopped displaying any video.

Tried everything to fix. Even reached out asking for hardware documentation so I could fix it myself. They don't provide the documentation and they refused to fix or replace the headset.

Basically stole $1500 from me.

Everyone is excited to buy the new VR headset they are making but I'm steering clear.

You must have gotten a bad rep or something. I had a very similar situation, first with a lighthouse and then the headset itself. They replaced both free of charge, only asked that I send the broken ones back both times. Even sent me free shipping labels.

I was not given a refund when MH World launched on PC in a broken, framelocked, constantly disconnecting state.

I tried and I was not granted one.
