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 don’t remember the specifics of this game, but snowballing is definitely not helpful.
Though what I really liked about older games, e.g. CS 1.6 is how it was purely skill-based and unforgiving. When I started playing, I barely had kills, was always dying. Then over time I became very good, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience.
It taught me that you can become great in almost anything, if you (1) have the motivation/discipline to keep persevering through failures, and (2) dedicate enough time to practice. A very valuable life lessons that kids these days are not getting from most games, as they are focused on opening their parent’s wallet for the newest shitty skins.
Your last statement is a weird non sequitur.
How does a game having mtx mean they can't learn the lessons you think they should? Counter Strike is largely the same game it's always been and it has skins. Your own example refutes the statement you made.
