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.

Perfect summary.
I worked in games for only a handful of years starting around 2010, but after many holiday weekends of crunch into the 3am period, and multiple studio closures, I decided to double my pay and end crunch altogether by shifting to the regular software dev industry.
Only company I would go back for is something like Valve. Privately owned, incredibly stable cash flow, and run by someone with both passion and respect for their people… but even then, I doubt they’d pay as much as I make now.
