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.

I get that this is a joke, but following the logic here, isn't that the exact opposite of what that would do?

2nd Person Shooter would be more cursed.

The first closest thing that comes to mind:

Screencheat is a ridiculous competitive split-screen first-person shooter where everyone is invisible, so players are forced to look at each other’s screens to win.

I read about at least one that someone made, but I can't find the name now. You play as a blind character who can see through the eyes of the enemy NPCs and based on their view of your own character you have to try to aim for them.

Edit: found it, Second Person Shooter Zato

This popular 2019 video talks about a "second person view" car chase in Driver San Fransisco where you control the fleeing car but view the game from a first person perspective of the chasing car: https://youtu.be/mC8QoRa8y_Q

4th person shooters be like: someone shot another person at a place during a time

Apparently "The Sims" is an example of a 4th person (not shooter) game.

So just being a school principal in the US.

ohhh because the player is behind the fourth wall, as opposed to following a character's back that still allows for immersion

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah basically. You aren't directly controlling the characters - setting tasks and stuff, but they act semi-independently.
