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.

AA is a game that is a normal full sized game, but was made on a budget that limited scope. Good examples are the Metro series or Balatro. AAA is your normal games with big budgets. AAAA is a special title for Skull and Bones, it means you spend a gigantic amount of money and make sure the whole thing sucks.
Balatro is indie, songs isn't it? Developed by a single dude with probably zero budget
Balatro has a publisher, Playstack. While they put very little money into traditional advertising, Playstack absolutely had a calculated marketing campaign that nailed success by getting specific streamers on board.
This technically makes it not 'indie' as they have a publisher but the indie/AA/AAA labels are kind of ridiculous.
Yeah, maybe not a good AA example, just couldn't think of a second one off the top of my head.
Larian and Hazelight are AA
Hyperstrange games and Revolver Digital.
Dungeons of Hinterwald is a fantastic AA game, if you haven't played it.
Basically everything Nintendo makes is AA, they just charge AAA+ prices for them.
