RE: RetroGames ; The struggle is so real with Pentris Game. 🎮
It was such a lovely story you have told here! I actually liked to read how you did not get it at the beginning and how you eventually made 393. That is indeed a huge victory since it demonstrates the force of patience and perseverance. I like you even stopped, laid aside your hands and returned with a clear mind--sometimes that little step does the trick.
The scene at which your daughter had come in was so warming. It helped me remember that it is not only the points that matter when playing a game; it is also closeness and memories. The fact that she plays well and then you get her to encourage you must have made the entire experience even special. That is the type of thing that people will remember.
And you are correct--life as is this game. Things may not be easy at the beginning, our score may not be good but with continuous practice and never giving up, we can always find a solution to it. Probably, one of the evidences that progress can be slow but it comes is your story. Truly inspiring!
