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:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's why most of the money hungry games were in the arcades back then. PC gaming wasn't nearly as big.

Probably because we grew up in completely different countries. Australia was very behind back in the day. We had a 2 year lag.
