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.

I have a very broad taste, so I play it all.. except sports games. Usually stop before the 200h mark for all games. I think that's the division I see the most: gamers who play it all and sports gamers. There's niche subdivisions like people who stick to one genre or old games only but I can relate with them because.. I play it all.
I play literally anything, but with an increased rate of Single Player FPS, Twin-Stick Roguelite, Bullet Heavens,ARPGS and Roguelikes. Currently my main fixation is The King is Watching, I haven't the issue that i only play specific games, but i can't finish any of them -.- It's like i have a fear of coming into a situation where i fail, damn anxiety.
I don't see a difference between the last two
I used to be a League of Legends only guy. I also played Fifa on the side. Basically: competitive online games only.
The problem is they have a heavily addictive gameplay loop, and it takes seconds to get into a game. Win a game? Dopamine is high and you wanna keep chasing it. Lose a game? Keep playing until you get that high.
I managed to get away from it, and at the moment I'm focusing on 'hard' single player games. Hades, Elden Ring, Megabonk (lol), that kind of thing and I am having an absolute blast. I'm realising that 'hard' gaming is my preference, whether online or offline.
I think it's completely normal to have a preference when it comes to gaming. Playing a completely different genre is more of a risk, when you know you prefer e.g., rogue likes, why would you stray from them?
I'm sometimes surprised of how few people play indie games. I'm playing Neon White now and having a blast.
