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.

Triple A inherently stands for risk avoidant, and money grabbend. It takes a special exception to get an AAA game that is more than ok. But the best games have never been the big bidget super polished games.

In the last 5 years, we have seen vampire survivors raise an entire genre from obscurity to the general public. Lethal company has caused a lot of chaos among friends. BG3 has surprised even the fans (one of those AAA exceptions). Technically, Satisfactory was finally released in 2024. Stray has given us a small but unique experience. Dave the diver is an experience that I still can't pinpoint the genre of. Half Life Alyx was revolutionary for the VR market. There has been a complete revival of the boomer shooter genre. Doki Doki literature club spawned a new cult following.

These are just some samples that I grabbed from the following search: https://steamdb.info/instantsearch/?range%5BuserScore%5D=90%3A&refinementList%5BreleaseYear%5D%5B0%5D=2025&refinementList%5BreleaseYear%5D%5B1%5D=2024&refinementList%5BreleaseYear%5D%5B2%5D=2023&refinementList%5BreleaseYear%5D%5B3%5D=2022&refinementList%5BreleaseYear%5D%5B4%5D=2021&refinementList%5BreleaseYear%5D%5B5%5D=2020
