I am excited to have been mentioned by one of the players from China in Gunbound mobile (GBM). Whenever I see the opponent is from China, the likelihood for me to win is close to nil. I supposed most of them studied the game well, and are actively exchanging tips on how to come up with the best combination. I did not use much of my brainpower whenever I played and have always been open to suggestions from other players. I had been focusing so much on maximizing my tank's stats until another player from Singapore showed me that it should be the last consideration. I had a friendly match and his tank was delivering such high damages that the damage dealt is close to a special shot. That was quite an eye-opener and now I regret for not purchasing more neutral-colored jewels that can be placed in any color slot. My friend from China has advised me to do so during the last 2 seasons but I was not convinced because he did not show me the outcome of making such purchases. He was the one who told me that someone had taken a screenshot of my avatar and commented "why do all your opponents have maximal stats?".
I also found out there's a whatsapp group for Malaysia and Singapore players but I find most of the professional players are too serious. One of them was complaining about one of the player who I frequently played with and was saying he missed his shots a lot and was not courteous as he had replied with "please be quiet" when he was being instructed where to shoot. I defended him by saying he is a fine player and probably had a bad day and the reply I got was "he is probably on his period". His clan member actually "represented" the clan to apologize on his behalf which I think was pretty unnecessary. Thankfully I seldom meet Malaysian pro players and I often get matched with Peru, Venezuela, Brazil, Portugal, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam players. I still prefer to play with players from my friend list as it is quite frustrating whenever I play with a random player and the person quits despite us having a chance to win just because we had a bad start.
Somehow having a few games a day is therapeutic and it often made me smile whenever I think about all the happy or funny moments in the game. My recent victory was a match against a supernova and since both of us were paired with blue dragons as teammates, I am feeling quite proud with the victory. in the past 24 hours, I managed to set up 4 perfect games for my teammate and on both occasions, it was consecutive perfect games for 2 games. It made me think about the times when Icy did all the set ups for me and taught me how to use turtle's shot 1 for a double hit, those were good times! The only clan member who is often online on discord doesn't seem to play GBM much and I guess I accidentally pissed him off with Malaysia-Singapore jokes when he said he was in "JB" (Johor Bharu) and I was like "to pump petrol is it? just kidding!". Anyway he went to JB for a haircut and I was like "Seriously bro, all the way across the border for a haircut?"
I foresee by the end of the year I will be a "purple dragon" which is correctly known as "divine dragon". I still find it funny whenever someone says "purple dragon" and I think of Barney and friends, the chubby purple dinosaur who could definitely pass for a fat dragon. I am much more high spirited the last 3 days as I resumed my jogs despite the hot weather. I just decided to jog later into the night and I find my neurotransmitters are functioning much better as I could recall and absorb information better. I also feel happier and find myself randomly singing. Somehow Michael Learns to Rock song "I'm gonna be around" seems to keep playing in my head.
"I'm gonna love you 'til the end
I'm gonna be your very true friend
I wanna share your ups and downs
I'm gonna be around~"
Really love this part of the lyrics and the other day I told my husband that he is my best friend and he said "no, we are couples/ lovers/ life partners" and I replied, "yes! and also best friends!" Although my best friend doesn't play games with me, he will still be my very true friend who will always see the best in me!
