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.

Of course, I love Uplink, my suggestion wasn't meant to bring it down, just to provide a recco for a spiritual successor to scratch that itch

That looks awesome! I haven’t dabbled in programming since BASIC—how would I be at this game? Would it hold my hand at first? I’ve done a little bit of machine code(anssembly? The one where you only use numbers) and C++, but it’s been like 20 years.

Yeah mostly in the beginning you buy and then modify programs. So you just need to change a string value or something until you feel like exploring more. The language itself is a fork of Miniscript, so if this page doesn’t seem insurmountable you shouldn’t have any issues

Sweet, most of that completely tracks, a little bit of it will require a little learning. I’ll check that game out, thank you so much!
