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.

a lot of what makes old game have that charm isn't just having the good pixel art but also matching the system sprite design, color pallet and replicating the imperfect displays of the time. Which the last is the one i think tends to be forgotten about a lot. Of course not all games are trying to replicate a style but more like a general vibe.
More than that, not being aware of genocide and looming climate collapse and student loans made those old games a lot more fun :)
I think it goes more on thise lines. We got tons of great games done by very passionate people. But is hard to enjoy something if you can dedicate only 1 hour tops and then go to sleep cause you have to work tomorrow.
