Setting my new high score, in Jewel 2 of all things.

52 million plus, had been stuck on 47 million and change for a while.

Now I don’t know if that qualifies as a good score or not. I have yet to pass level 14, and most times I play it I crap out between levels 11 and 13. I have had the luck of doing a handful perfect clears, which is nice. But I can’t seem to find a solid plan of attack that wields great results. Planning my moves doesn’t go any better than just randomly finding the first groups of three that catch my eye all across the screen. I wish I knew of a way to eliminate the black rocks in a more efficient manner than just hoping they get caught in a flashing jewels explosion. I have limited myself to playing once per day. I get bonus points for doing so. Maybe twice if I have a long empty part of my day. I know it’ll kill 20-30 minutes if I let it.

I was off the gaming fixation for roughly nine years until my lovely wife reintroduced next gen gaming consoles back into our lives. Bought one, borrowed another. Now it’s nearly inescapable. I am not too involved in any one game. Trying my hand at some Star Wars content, as well as Gears of War, Diablo 4, and a DreamWorks racing go kart game. I leave the goat simulator and Dreamlight valley to the kids. They seem to have fun in the non linear open world mayhem.

Best be off to drop the kids at school. Breakfast upon my return then lawn Duties and blood work appointment go follow. Should be a day. Oh, Dune Part Two showed up last night, so I may tuck into that this evening while the kids are out doing their extracurriculars. Score!
