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.

Hope I’m getting wooshed over here, since you know that tidbit you’ve gotta know that was because they couldn’t just throw more RAM at the problem and actually had to come up with some clever optimisations, right?

Shhh don't tell anyone! (Yes my post was 100% a joke, well except for the part about reusing sprites).

You ever notice that the background objects often have the same shapes? Clouds, hills, dunes, bushes etc. . Lazy programmers
