Let's just hope that taking long breaks gives me huge scores.
This seems to be the way of it for me.
Something about playing after not having played in a while makes my brain a lot more interested in what it's doing, it notices more, and it works better.
If I've been playing a lot, I go into a kind of patternistic autopilot and am not as creative or sensitive to the novelty of situations. I get bored, and that, combined with the accumulated rage from dying over and over all day, gets me in a sour mood.
I haven't touched the machine in about two weeks. I'm hoping that will be long enough!
