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.

Someone i knew who was really academically excellent without any effort, he loves/loved rhythm games. I think people are drawn to games which fill a void of what they can get out of their own life, so someone who doesn't play a musical instrument or sports for instance can get that from rhythm games.

I've also known rather intelligent people who love rhythm games. Something tells me anon is doing a little projection here.

Or simply 'cause any kind of game Anon isn't good at/doesn't like is for "stupid" people. Classic "4chan hardcore gamer" behaviour

It's already too late for I have depicted myself as the chad Crusader Kings player and you, the soyjak rhythm game player.

John Carmack also loves beat saber IIRC and I hear he's pretty smart

Yea but can he play an instrument?

... also I still want to try beat saber... it seems like fun cardio.

When I see beat saber gameplay it looks like something I'd love and wouod be really engaging to play while also not over-the-top
