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.

Isn't a cutscene literally the only part of the game where you can't lose? It's just a video that plays on it's own to move the story forward isn't it?

They don't mean lose the game, they mean your character gets beat up for story purposes.

Sometimes it's scripted that the bad guy beats you up. Or like another bad guy shows up after you beat the first one and then defeats you

I always hated the "convenient helplessness" of these scenes.
