    It’s still wild to me people are continuing to break records in classic Tetris. You’d think they’ve reached the peak long ago, but they somehow continue to impress!

    It’s insane that this happened so quickly after Blue Scuti’s kill screen.

      Some guy played to level 255 and it rolled back to level 0, (that’s the rebirth). Then he played to level 91 after that. To answer an unasked but important question: he did it on a ROM and not a cartridge because it’s pretty damn likely a cartridge would have crashed long before this point. Even on this particular ROM there are a bunch of ways to crash it (there’s loads of them documented).

        Did he use an original NES controller with the ROM or a modern controller? I know I have a hard time getting the 40 year old controllers to respond fast enough at higher levels, though I haven’t tried the bump control method.

    That’s how many levels with the color scheme where you pretty much can’t tell where the blocks are?

        I don’t have the expertise to check the API, myself, but I’ve noticed a ton of innocent comments lately all having -1. Mbin shows the upvote and downvote counts separately, so I can see that entire threads are all receiving a single downvote, presumably from a single user. Seems like somebody’s being a gremlin and just downvoting everything they see.

          I’ve been noticing that ever since I joined Lemmy over a year ago. Feels like people are way more trigger happy with downvotes here. It’s not a big deal though.

            It’s just more visible since downvotes and upvotes are shown separately. On the old site, that hasn’t been the case for years.

              Nah, I noticed that on clients without separate counts. A LOT of comments go down to 0 before climing back again (or not).

                I think there are a few unchecked bots that do that. Every once in a while I’ll make a post or comment and it goes to 0 immediately.

        Their comment sounds like something you spam on a bunch of posts to get someone to click the scam link.

    What a legend!

    A few years ago it was sensational when someone managed to clear a few levels in max speed. Now all max speed levels have been beaten.

    What’s next for NES Tetris? Feels like it’s more of an endurance game now.
