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.

Speaking from experience: in many cases, they’re cliche because project managers, producers, and execs insist on writing achievement names & descriptions instead of letting the writer(s) do it.

It’s happened on almost every game I’ve worked on.

They get a kick out of having a tangible contribution to the finished product, and in most cases seem to believe they’re actually being funny and original. It’s easier to just let them have it.

Shout out to Split Fiction for getting the "Unironically making a 'The cake is a lie' reference in the year of the Lord 2025" award

I know no one cares but on the off chance that someone does, the picture is from this song.

It's a song made basically entirely of Japanese onomatopoeias. It's brought me so much joy I'd love if it makes one other person feel that way.

Seeing achievements that actually are hard to achieve and aren't grindy brings me joy
