Quoted from finman2000:Drink heavily!
This... but not heavily. I can't say why, but I do well after a beer. Problem is stopping at the one beer mark
I'm a fellow TSPP owner. Last night, was playing like total shit. Just about powered off the machine in frustration. The more frustrated I got, the worse I played. But, got an 80M game going, followed by a 117M game. Not lighting the leaderboards on fire, but best score I've had in the month I've had it.
Ultimately, this all needs to be fun. So, maybe focus on smaller objectives vs trying to get to Alien Invasion, etc.
One final note: Really try to make yourself dead flip as much as possible. I notice on TSPP especially, I tend to lose control due to trying too hard to trap up - especially trapping on the left side, where it goes up the left inlane and down the left outlane. When I make myself let i dead bounce, I have better control.
