I love shiny things. Shiny things are great.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiYLrcKb2Z
Remember that game where you eat shiny things?
As a snake?482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheZn4MF2wY
I played it a bit back in 2016, then an improved version, wormax.io, in 2018, when procrastinating during finals.
And now, I'm fully addicted. It's a fun game. Mostly because I love shiny things.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K1kJbZfUI
When playing games such as these, you realise how fleeting feelings are. One second, you're mad frustrated because you keep dying without getting anywhere, and the next, you're at the top of the leaderboard, feeling like the king of the world.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmNQXPQQEJ
From my 1293294 hours of playing, I've figured out plenty of tips and tricks to get me a reasonably high score without dying. Let's play it together sometime!! If you see "@non" in the leaderboard at any time, that's me :D I have a British flag skin... lol
So what has this got to do with small moments that help me regain faith in humanity?482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHJAA8kLwz
Recently, on top of wormax.io, I've tried playing agar.io again. 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi1DQoNig3
I was never good at it, nor played it a lot when it came out, and I wanted to be as pro as I was in wormax.io.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWwfWjAI0M
The thing is, while you can't communicate with other players in wormax.io, you can kind of do it in agario, whether it is through your skin or through "feeding" other blobs. But of course, it's a pvp game, so teaming and being betrayed is incredibly common. As well as the sheer amount of people who use bots in agario - they have tons of bots that basically keep respawning and feeding them.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNjymmPFWP
Of course, I'm not a cheater, nor am I bothered to install the software to gain these bots, so I'm at a clear disadvantage.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiQP3mCdL2
But alas! The incredibly noob me met "Hard Rain". Not only once, but twice! On two different days... 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtGqOet6AR
*dramatic flashback*482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGmWuHOTDD
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xs6kKatsA
I was just chilling around one day, when I saw Hard Rain struggling to swallow up a much larger blob that was split into pieces. Since that blob was in the top 3 of the leaderboard, I thought, "why not give some support to the underdog?" 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruPhkr3cvu
With that in mind, I fed them until Hard Rain was able to successfully consume the blob. Getting a few pallets of feed back as gratitude, I disappeared and went about my day failing to swallow blobs and getting eaten by bots.
But today, I was pleasantly surprised to see Hard Rain again! I fed them (well, attempted to feed as my feed just scattered everywhere...) as a greeting to see whether they recognised me... and it seemed like it. 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PLTpScr0j
I was confused when I saw a large amount of bots coming to me and sacrificing themselves, until I realised that they were Hard Rain's bots. 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU01Xr3jrUR
Together, we made an unlikely team, conquering the leaderboard, despite me being a hopeless rookie. When Hard Rain gave the majority of their mass to me, I felt burderned with the responsibility of letting them down. But alas, I was successful in swallowing up larger blobs! And when a blob swallowed half of my mass, Hard Rain took revenge for me.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcsAf7Oz95
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx2PXOfsmJ
But It was near the end. Hard rain suddenly started feeding me mass, despite another blob threatening to swallow them. I was confused, and gave the majority of mass back to them, wanting them to overtake the blob. However, I would never know if Hard Rain was planning to go afk and therefore surrendering their mass to me, or that they knew they weren't going to be able to overtake the blob, and hence making themselves smaller (though I do not think that was a good idea). If so, I'm sorry for failing you. 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTPG1vUdQd
But with this experience in teaming with another player in a game that thrives off pvp, I'm somehow incredibly happy (also because I just single-handedly won a team game beforehand).482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyJgoUDlsx

Uh, that was a dramatic rant about agar.io. It's because I'm so not used to teaming; I tried teaming with someone once, and realised I was incredibly useless and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. As well as the fact that wormax.io had no notion of teams. The closest thing to "teaming" up with another snake is not constantly trying to kill each other despite both being of significant mass (thanks, Korea (a snake's username). I hope Britain and Korea gets along like us : D).482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7tsRLUBa9
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHeHQT1xFW
Let's play wormax.io or agar.io together!482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FbbcCzX3F
I've also always been pro at scribbl.io, so we can do that, too.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE6uEAKsBy
