First Time Playing Steem Pong. I Got 1091 Score
It was a very memorable experience to play Steem Pong. Being a Nigerian boy who loves to learn new things online, I have chosen to take the game a chance after learning about it being played by other people on the Steem platform. I did not have very high expectations, initially; I simply imagined that it was going to be one of those types of games that a person plays once and never remembers. However, even in the first round, I understood that there is something different about Steem Pong. It is not merely a game but it is an examination of concentration, time and stamina.
I was immediately addicted when I began playing. The game was blistering, the controls were easy and the challenge was there. Each bending of the ball held my interest. It was as though I was talking to the ball--instead of a word a word a word there had to be a reply--swifter and swifter. The higher the score the more competitive I got. Initially, I did some wrong things but after a while I managed to get into the flow. The more I played the better I did and before I knew it I had a score of 1091.
That was a huge accomplishment to me, which made me feel more accomplished as I have never played before. I recall feeling extremely happy when the final score was shown on the screen. It was not only about numbers, but about fulfilling the goal of my concentration and willpower. That was when I learned that regardless of how new we are in something, when we put efforts and remain on track, we can actually surprise ourselves, what we can actually accomplish.
The other notable aspect of my experience was the association between the game and the Steem blockchain. My gaming activity involved sending some Steem tokens after playing. That is what made me feel that I was a part of something larger a global digital community which links gaming and cryptocurrency. It has given the game a sense of purpose to me as it was not only about entertainment but also learning about a virtual economy and being involved in it. I also enjoyed the fact that my time spent in fun would also be associated with something meaningful.
The best thing about Steem Pong is that it is simple. The regulations are simple to follow, but the game puts you to the test and makes you be on your toes. It is a type of game that makes you learn the lesson of how vital it is to make your eyes on the goal. You lose your score of the ball will pass duly you are distracted even a few seconds. To some degree, that was similar to our life. Life is a bouncing ball, you should be attentive and change your strategies, and should never lose your focus on what you dream of.
The more I continued playing the more I knew each bounce of the ball had a little lesson. Mishandling the ball gave me the reminder that mistakes form a part of development. It felt good when I struck it just right, because it reminded me that when you have worked to achieve something, success feels great. It was remarkable that a mere game could tell one a great deal about life. I started realizing that patience, concentration and perseverance are not only in games, but also in all our activities in life.
Steem pong was another game that helped me relax and clear my mind. Occasionally, games such as this one can help me relax after a hard and stressful day. Therefore, I observed that I could concentrate on the game and my thoughts would be clear, and my mind would be refreshed. It resembled therapy but was digitized. The balance between fun and the stimulation of the mind made the experience even more fun.
The other thing that is so beautiful of Steem pong is the community surrounding it. Players post their scores, support each other, and celebrate each winning, however insignificant. It also builds a feeling of belongingness, particularly among people who like associating with people of other nations like I do. The fact that other people are playing and write about their experiences inspires me to continue to get better. Not only competition, but inspiration too.
The most memorable life lesson that I got when playing Steem Pong is the truth that all progress will be achieved through persistence and concentration. It makes no difference whether it is a game or a job, or a dream, you can never achieve without giving it your all. The game showed me that you have to celebrate even the little wins since every little win will lead you to greatness. It also made me happy to remember that failure is not the last thing, it is only another opportunity to make it next time.
I am also eager to play steem pong again. I am now aiming at surpassing my highest score of 1091 and continue challenging myself. I would like to find out to which extent I can reach in case I devote more time and attention to it. There is a motivational aspect of the game. And it is not only about banging the ball but to test myself to make myself better than I was yesterday.
To sum up, Steem Pong is not a game to me. It is an enjoyable, fulfilling, and informative experience which ties the entertainment with practical learning. It has shown me how important it is to be focused, to be patient, and to enjoy the process of betterment. It also helped me remember that even though an activity may be as trivial as it is, one can always find something to learn.
It was and continues to be a very good experience, and I am happy to continue playing, learning, and growing with every subsequent round. In life, much like in Steem Pong, it is all about balancing, persevering and not giving up, even when you are losing the ball in an unexpected speed.
