The only trophy Bernd ever brought home was from the typing championship. Yes it existed. During the mid 2000s. Bernd always lost hard at the Bundesjugendspiele. Bernds brother got the sports ace medal shit, and he was in soccer, basketball and other retarded normie shit. But Bernd was in the typewriting class at school to learn typing with ten fingers. The teacher would put wooden boxes over our hands and keyboards so that we had to type blindly, and hold a speech which we had to type down without typos. 3 typos and you're out, the backspace button was disabled. In one year, the teacher proceeded to have us participate in the federal fast typing competition. Bernd didn't realise it because he disliked the cunt of a teacher. But he had been training a lot before because of heated Internet debates in IRC the night prior. The competition was not a speech but just a huge text on screen which we had to type down as much as we could for ten minutes. So it was very easy for Bernd
Many people here may not realise that your apm, Anschläge pro Minute, button presses per minute, go down significantly if you type more than a few minutes without pausing. So the ten minute average metric is used in competitions, and of course, it must be with zero mistakes. Bernd submitted and was very surprised to hear a week later that he got first place of the region. He was invited to a winner ceremony two towns over. He got a framed first place winner certificate and a 20€ book coupon. Bernd was very proud, it was the first time Bernds mom had to drive Bernd somewhere and not his brother. On the way back, Bernd told his mom proudly that we can now make a spot on the wall for Bernds certificate next to his brothers trophies, too. He hoped for encouragement but Bernds mom just said nothing. The certificate was not hung up in the end, but Bernd loved reading, so the 20€ book coupon at the local bookshop was welcome.
Bernd bought pic related, it was okay. It was about suicide on new years eve. Bernd likes the book because it reminds him of his victory.
