        Haha. They’re bouncier than they look. There was a huge craze of them in the late 80s where I live. People definitely lost teeth.

      A lot of people have posted impressive things here, but this is the first one that really hits me as shockingly difficult.

      I like the game, but have never seen the last level outside of YouTube, and can’t imagine lasting longer than 10 seconds on it. I can barely reach 12s on the non-hyper version of it.

    There’s this mobile game called Egg Inc. I used to play it during my downtime. One update, it had like a leader board pop up.

    “you are in the top 0.1% of players!”

    … I stopped playing after that.

    IDK. Goodreads said I’m in their top 1% for the year lol, and I only track the books I haven’t read before.

    Not a game, but I don’t look at game high scores and other people are doing random stuff too.

    I claim that I have won a game of Transport Tycoon. Long ago I reached such wealth that the number turned to negatives and I was unable to recover from my sudden 2,147 billion debt.

    The bug is that the highest value my 32 bit CPU could do was 2 147 xxx xxx (I don’t remember every number) and the next bit flipping means that the value is negative. As in, the computer literally can’t handle the number of money I was having.

    I got about 32 points in Life. My score goes up every 365 days. I’m hoping to make a world record some day.

    120k on Galaga. Not impressive compared to the world record holders out there, but it takes effort to get that “bad”.

    Once I went to Australia and I had a very long flight. I played Steredenn and I don’t really know how I finished first worldwide after a game that lasted forever.

    And I stopped playing not because I lost, but because this was the end of the flight. More than 7 billions. It was a few years ago and I am the 10th now.

    I played Exponential Idle for a while, and while I lost my highest progress, I have an old save where I got to 101019096.3

    The number of digits in that number is itself a number with over 19,000 digits.

    It’s so big that if you take the square root - so it has half as many digits, the result would be written about the same but without the “.3” at the end.
