[Gameplay] [Tablet-Surface] [Fun] [Story-Time] [Actually-True]

This title is absolutely not clickbait.



~Preamble~
I play with a dragging play style. But when I get nervous I push my pen too hard to my tablet,

So... recently I noticed that my play style is not beneficial at all for my tablet and pen. My pen tips are deteriorating quite fast and my tablet is getting all scratchy. I was thinking.. what could be the cheapest and fastest solution to this... And I've found the answer pretty randomly.. While I was thinking I've walked by a candle.. and it reminded me..

Back in the day I used to go skateboarding on rough spots.. The solution there to make the surface slippery was wax... So I thought.. what could be the difference?

~Taking an action~
I've rethinked my play style. I knew I had a stable hand position so if the tablet is too slippery it's not really a problem. (Actually if the tab is not slippery.. my style is pretty much holds me back..)

Before I took action I checked my house for other solutions.. but I couldn't came up with anything.. foils and papers wasn't slippery enough. It was my time to take action.

I grabbed the candle and put my pen tip in it. I cleaned of the extra wax from the tip and tried to use the pen like this.

It was very impressive actually! I felt like there is almost nothing holding back my pen. It wasn't enough... I grabbed the candle once more and I scooped out a thin layer of wax and rubbed it on the surface of my tab.

When I played with this.. It felt like the pen was actually hovering above the tab. It was amazing.

After like 10-15 tries.. I've set my new top pp record. Which is a pretty a big deal for me, cause these days I've just slided downhill on the leaderboard.

It was quite the experience!

You've read the whole thing? Nice!
What's your thoughts on this?
Don't take this so seriously.. but it's true ;) #waxyourtab

grats, you got over a mental block with a small change-up, sometimes i find I can pass a map with way fewer misses suddenly just by making my area smaller or tilting my hand at a different angle lol. Sometimes muscle memory feels more like an obstacle than useful.

If you want to reduce friction. Buy a glass screen protector and stick it on your tablet.

Those still have quite a lot of friction. I have put cooking oil on my cellphone screen to play games that require a lot of dragging/sliding.

I'm talking about screen protectors made out of glass, not ones made out of plastic.
