I Almost Break My All Time Score Today Playing Steem Pong. I Got 1429 Score
It was also another fun day in my life when I had an opportunity to play one of my favorite online games Steem Pong. The game is played on steem-retrogames.com and this is how fun, competition and learning all together give me this amazing experience.
Whenever I play it, I am confident that I am not only becoming better in the game but also in my mentality. I reached a new high score of 1429 today and frankly speaking I was very proud of myself. It helped me to remember that change is slow, and even the slightest advancement can be considered progress.
The game itself is highly interesting and not hard to play. The point here is to ensure the ball bounces but is not allowed to go past the paddle. And it might sound easy, but it is even more difficult as you remain longer in the game. The ball is thrown faster and your reflexes are actually tested. It is one of the reasons why I like Steem Pong; it keeps me sharp. I needed to pay attention to each and every movement and this demanded focus and suppression.
I was required to purchase a token with my Steem account before I could go to play. The message appeared on the screen informing me that the operation would cost 2 Steem tokens which I paid with my Active Key. Although it cost me a few Steem, I did not feel bad since I would have considered investing it as fun and personal growth. The entire experience of purchasing the token allowed me to value the functionality of blockchain gaming as it is not merely a form of entertainment, but also an opportunity to turn real digital assets into something important.
When starting the game, I noticed how the sound and design gave me the retro atmosphere and went back to the times when people had so much happiness in playing some simple games. The game I played the more I became immersed in the rhythm. Every collision of the ball was a heartbeat and I was smiling every time I scored more. My hands were a blur, my eyes were with the ball and my mind was entirely concentrated. I was in a hurry to see the message Game over and the final score was 1429. It was not merely about winning but it was about observing the extent to which I had gone.
Several things were imperative to me after playing Steem Pong. The first one was that practice does make perfect. The more I practice the better I become. It also allowed me to be patient- as it sometimes happens that I lose a life because I got distracted and it is a lesson that I need to focus not only in the game but in life too. A ball hit in the wrong direction is a ball that you have lost and when it is hit successfully, it is clear that all the effort is worth it.
One more beautiful object of the game is its way of relating fun with value. The Steem tokens allowed me to be more accountable when it comes to my decisions since every play is associated with a price. That caused me to play more carefully and solemnly. It is only like life whereby once you invest something beautiful, you will give your best in it.
Being a Nigerian male who loves to play games, Steem Pong is not a hobby to me. It is something I can do to unwind, stretch myself, and get disciplined. The game can be seen as a mere game, yet it has profound meanings concerning the perseverance, growth, and concentration.
I am already anticipating to play it once again. I want to improve my score of 1429 that is my highest at the moment and get to an even greater target the next time. I understand that every game I play, I am training my skills and enhance my reaction speed. Similar to life, where every shot counts, every bounce in Steem Pong tells me that I need to be persevering and strong.
Finally, Steem Pong is not merely a game to me, it is a sort of manifestation of development. I might have gotten 1429 today, but I will strive to get higher tomorrow. And the loveliness of it all is that I am improving every day, by bouncing along.
