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.

The people mistakenly claiming html5 was going to be the next Flash, I guess

It... Is? Check out itch.io and there's still.shitloads of browser games around.

Well ok, I guess it eventually got there, but at the time Flash was getting shut down there wasn't any equivalent self contained game engine IDE that compared, it was a big setback.

All those flash games got preserved and you can still play them:

Also some of them are high quality porn games. This is both a warning and an advertisement depending on ones temperament.

I remember a lot of dating sims.

One of them started with a guy in a bathroom shaving and playing techno music before going to find a date.

They had funny as heck endings like the girl spinning on the ceiling fan at the end (During sex). Just crazy stuff.

Anyone remember what they were called? I swear I had them archived but I can’t find them anywhere. I think there were 20-30 of them from the same creator.
