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.

I think of them as "Gotcha!" games, cause their point is to trick you.

I think that's where the term gacha comes from. A japanization of the term gotcha.

No, "gacha" comes from "gashapon," the crank vending machines, and the name is an onomatopoeia. "Gacha" (or "gasha") is the sound of the crank being turned, and "pon" is the sound of the capsule dropping out.
