Day 16 of Playing Pentris on SteemRetroGames

@ubifav Gaming Journal Series

Hello Steemians,
Welcome back to another exciting update in my Pentris daily gameplay series on SteemRetroGames. Today marks Day 16, and honestly, this session turned out far better than I expected. What started off as a shaky beginning ended with not one but two brand-new high score records. So let me walk you through how the day went.

First Play

Score — 194

My first run of the day was honestly rough. Everything felt off — slow reactions, wrong placements, and my stacking wasn’t clean. It was one of those starts that usually kills momentum. But instead of stopping, I decided to push through the frustration and keep going.

Sometimes a bad start is exactly what reminds us why consistency is important.

Second Play

Score — 1631 — New High Score

This was where things took a sharp turn.
Almost like a reset button was clicked, I suddenly found my rhythm again. Piece placement was crisp, rotations were quick, and the board stayed clean for longer. Before I knew it, I hit 1631, breaking my previous best.

At this point, I was already satisfied — but the day wasn’t done yet.

Third Play

Score — 2080 — Newest High Score Record

This run felt smooth from start to finish. Every move connected perfectly.
No panic, no hesitation — just pure focus.

Hitting 2080 felt like a milestone that represented more than just gameplay. It proved something important:

It’s never about how you start, but how you finish.
Consistency always pays off.

And today, that consistency led me to smashing two new records in a single day.

Final Thoughts

Day 16 taught me that even the worst beginning can lead to the best outcome if you keep grinding. Progress doesn’t always show up immediately — sometimes you need to push through the slow days to reach a breakthrough.

I’m proud of today’s performance, and I’m even more motivated for Day 17.
Thanks to everyone following this series — your support keeps me going.
