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.

When everything had long loading times (and we still have them from time to time) there was a genius idea : minigames on the loading screen to pass the time.

ONE company did this, patented the concept and till then no one is allowed to do that.

It was Namco, and the patent expired in 2015.
