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.
You've just made me sadder than you can imagine
It's kinda sad.
project managers, producers, and execs
I can't wait for all these ideas guys to use more AI to make stuff...
The part where he kills you (This is that part)
Part 9: The Part Where He Kills You
"I think this is the part where he kills us."
"Hello! This is the part where I kill you!"
Just reading that made me laugh. Absolutely fantastic abuse of every available medium.
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.
What a great tune to start my day to. Thanks for sharing!
Get to da choppa! (Reach the helicopter)

I think its charming
Me too!
Yes, you're also charming.
Yeah, though I don't really like the ones that can be missed by playing the game too well, like the "die to boss x times".
Yeah, I'm really not getting the joke here. It just seems like they are listing normal game achievements, which I would probably ignore anyway.
I like that the "open game" archivments are mostly at like 70%
I just haven't got around ooh a sale!
It gives a point of reference for the others. Though it should probably just be the base for calculating the other percentages.
Seeing achievements that actually are hard to achieve and aren't grindy brings me joy
Yeah, I wish they were only that, instead of "collect all 1000 mcguffins" or "defeat a boss with 1 life left."
I swear some games just load them up at the start so it looks like you were playing for longer when others see you have "SO MANY ACHIEVABLES"
But cant they also see my 8 minutes total time played?
Not if it's on Shrex Box
Ratchet and Clank did trophies the right way and made them fun little challenges that unlocked cheats and other gameplay twists.
Going for all the gold bolts was actually fun.
I haven't seen one in a while but I was so fucking sick of seeing bigger they are harder they fall references in the early days of achievements
