Hello friends, how about you?

I hope everyone is doing well. Alhamdulillah, I’m doing good too. Gaming has been my small escape since childhood, and no matter how much time passes, the excitement always feels the same. After a long time, I’m back again to play, and this is my eighth time joining the Steem Retro Games Challenge. Retro games never get old; they feel just like childhood memories. My journey started with Pong, my first retro game, and from that moment I fell in love with this world. Now I’m here again with old vibes and new energy, ready to enjoy the fun, learn from mistakes, and collect new memories once more.

When I opened the game for the eighth time, the dashboard looked exactly the same, but I knew I had changed. I felt calmer, more focused, and way more confident, with a soft excitement running in the background. It felt like meeting an old friend after a long time familiar, comfortable, and fully under my control. One quick look at the screen was enough to reset my rhythm; everything clicked instantly. The layout, the icons, the menu everything felt like home. My eyes went straight to Steem Pong without thinking, like my mind already knew the path. That moment felt special and quietly proud. I could clearly feel how much I’ve improved since the first time I played. Starting the eighth round felt like stepping into a world I now truly understand, with better skills, stronger control, and a clearer mindset than ever before.

The ball started moving and the paddles were ready. Even on my eighth time, I needed a small warm-up. I laughed a little and thought, “Eight times already, and still warming up?” That’s how retro games are they look easy, but they can surprise you. This time, I stayed calm and didn’t rush. I let my hands move naturally. After a few moves, everything felt right. The paddle moved smoothly, my timing was better, and I made fewer mistakes. I could clearly feel how much I’ve improved since the first time I played. Then the game stopped feeling hard and became really fun. The excitement kicked in, and I felt ready to play with full confidence in my eighth round.

Final Thoughts

My score on Day 08 was 393, and honestly, I felt really proud. This score showed clear improvement and better control, not just luck. Even after taking breaks, the game felt natural again, like returning to something my hands and mind already remembered. By the eighth round, the rhythm came back on its own the controls felt smooth, my timing was steady, and guiding the ball became easier. I could truly feel how much I’ve improved since earlier rounds, and that made the game more enjoyable. This round wasn’t only about scoring 393, but about realizing how far I’ve come. Playing with more calm, focus, and confidence felt different, in a good way. The retro journey continues, and I’m excited to keep improving and sharing every small win along the way.
