After 1 month and 6 days of Marapets : Looking for High Scores
3 years, 4 months & 12 days ago
15th Aug 2021 16:20 So I decided to stop a lot of pet dailies before, but I decided I'd at least work on the gym at least once a day for my 3 pets, of which on some days, I spend a lot of time checking in regularly throughout the day to work on. Others I just do one or two, and then get lazy after. So oh well. I actually did manage to complete some Knutt Knight quests to try to get past level 15, but no luck in completing 10 Baspinar goals at this point, I guess.
I've been thinking of possibly buying gift boxes, but I usually wait until I spend enough time in a game over time to make sure I stick around. You see, I have a track history of trying new games and sticking for a week or two, then immediately leaving for another one. Though I usually have 1 or 2 game obsessions on which I am entirely consumed by. Considering I have been here for an entire month and about 1 week, I might have finally found my new obsession. I actually left gaming for a while because some old games I played for years closed down, due to bankruptcy, not enough cash. .
. then I just took a break from gaming into other hobbies, other than watching Youtube videos of gaming, I guess. To be honest, a handful of old websites, projects on websites, have closed down or slowed down considerably during the pandemic, and I guess . . . even if I seem to have about a million hobbies everywhere else in my life, I long for a sense of routine at least in the middle of all that chaos. Though I'm still not sure about the giftboxes. Let's see if I stick around for 2 months maybe?
On the side, I just decided to master the games as much as possible while waiting for the gym stats to increase for my pets. For example, I finally won at chess without getting a stalemate or draw, and I won at Reversi a handful of times. I finally won at the Uno game, and I'm impressed with how it's going. For a lot of the classic board games, I just observe the tactics and strategies of the computer opponent against me, then I see if I can copy or make use of it somehow in the next game with them. Too lazy to read tips on it sometimes, so I just learn by doing and observing what the computer player 2 is doing.
I've gone from about 4 to 12 hits in Fairy Flight to about 400+ in my high score. And Mine Marada at barely anything to around 200+. That's far from the highest scores on this website, but not bad to develop in one month, I guess, from completely nothing. From Toy Blocks, I reached around 100 as a score at first and now in the 700s. Interesting. I began Quack Mafia recently, because when I clicked on it at first, nothing appeared after the loading screen. After some time, when I checked back, it was normal, so alright I guess. I moved from a score of around 2000 at first to over 5000? Based on prize item standards, this is above average, but nothing that special, I guess.
I have a few games I think I might have a chance of winning a high score in. Somehow I managed to win Monty's Great Escape at a high score of 3,030 which is one of the top 50 players as listed. I can't see the Word Shark high scores for some reason, but I managed to get to levels 22-30 very well, depending on how bored I feel on whether to continue playing the game for so long. The former because I played a lot of running obstacle type games before throughout the years growing up and the latter because I'm a computer geek who is just very, very, very fast at typing.
I'm possibly thinking of trying to get a high score on Tetris, since it's not difficult for me to get a high score by the standards of the prize games. Though I doubt it's high in the highest of the high kind of score. More in the sense of above average, but not. . . complete mastery, I suppose? Actually, for a lot of these games, I will try to get lower scares on purpose to collect all the prize items, but after some time, I just got bored of doing that. So I decided to see what I could do to get high scores.
A lot of the issue is less my ability to adapt to a game with mental speed and flexibility, but more that my hands will get tired after a while of playing, especially with arcade games, which emphasize speed more, over the slow thinking of puzzle games or classic games. I do some strength training as a hobby, and I won't say I am on the level of having six pack abs and can be a good athlete, but I'm somewhat above average, I guess? This is related to the grip strength, yes? Or the amount of strength needed in your hands to be able to do a task, and fine motor movements, which involve a strong use of all the different fingers, such as in typing, drawing or playing a musical instrument. I seem. . . to be lacking on that physical characteristic, so somewhere in the middle, my hands just run out of energy, and just give up in the middle of a game.
Maybe I'll look to exercising my hands and grip, maybe? But oh well. I guess I just have to wait it out with practicing until my hands can gain that type of strength and stamina needed to win high scores like this.
