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.

wtf does "AA" and "AAA" even mean, like, why do they need different batteries.?

besides, I thought, batteries were totally out...

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.
