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.

Anon is not entirely wrong though... we have become pretty lazy regarding optimizing software.
Companies don't want to invest in creating their own engine anymore, so now we get unoptimized unreal engine games now.
If you have the talent and manpower to create your own engine, it’s better business to make that engine your product instead of whatever game you wanted to make.
The advantage of making your own engine is that you can specialize for your specific gameplay.
If your game is something that needs it, definitely go for it.
Something like Noita comes to mind
