This was a breath of fresh air, my friend. I genuinely enjoyed the way you explained how Steem Pong was not only a game, but a means of exercising the brain, as well as, de-stressing after a hard day of work. Getting 882 points was no trifle either, considering that you said you felt exhausted already- but the game helped you gain strength rather than lose it.

The most striking thing to me was the life lesson that was embedded in your post, which is that small things of happiness are important. Of course, it is not always big wins in life that make us go but these little ones like saving that blue ball, getting more and more levels of focus and the increase in your score. That nostalgia and relaxation you felt are a sure sign that gaming is beyond entertainment, it can be therapy and inspiration.

I reckon, with practice, you will be up to the board with that name. Continue to play, continue to get better and above all just continue to enjoy the process, since sometimes happiness can be found in these small colorful escapes.
