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.

You can still still be competitive, you just have to be a bit clever about it.

I recently started playing mobile shooters... in an Android emulator with a mouse and keyboard. Destroying touchscreen kiddos with a proper input device never gets boring.

Some games are even smart enough to detect the mouse and keyboard and only match you with other players using external input devices, like CoD Mobile. That's one of my favorites because it's basically CoD: Greatest Hits. All the best maps from the old games are there. And new modes come out every week. It's so much better than modern CoD; takes me back to the days of playing CoD4 and MWII on the Xbox 360 when I was a teenager.

I don't even want to be competitive, but stat tracking forces the issue. When you found a regular hangout place for a some team based game, you didn't need to worry about tracking every kill. You could just be helpful to your team in ways that K/D ratios can't track like throwing yourself at the opposite team when they're chasing your team member who has the flag for instance. Just not being a ragging asshole could get you a positive reputation.
