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'm aware this was sarcasm, but want to point out Asmongold is a Nazi sympathizer. No idea who the other person is.

Asmongold is a priest of Nurgle.

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.

Institutional money didn't take it seriously until the mid to late 2000s.

Big video game companies were already doing the same as today though.
