Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Tetris Has Been Defeated”.
Hey uh, we have uh Mr cheu just posted in flip, and did you see the video of the kid who finally beat Tetris? Yes, I was rivited. I couldn’t look away from it. I can’t. I can’t believe that that is human capability like I, I can’t even fathom watching this kid play. Oh, it’s crazy! Do you know about the whole rolling thing and everything yeah fantastic, what fantastic, what so cool and and and how he he missed. The one break point theion lost it. The tension in that Gap like what yeah couldn’t believe it very good. The fact that someone else was racing against him at the same time and I think either lost their run or paused or something and then switched over to watch him win and was like congratulatory and very cool about. It was also just like a fantastic reflection on that Community, um yeah, very, very cool, very, very cool yeah, so when we say beat Tetris for those of you who are not familiar, it doesn’t end, but eventually the game crashes.
It can theoretically get to level 255. But then it just Loops back to level zero or one or whatever, but it will crash before it gets there. I think, is the issue. I I think it gets to a point where you I I don’t.
I don’t know: ful people are saying it runs out of memory, runs out of memory, yeah, some some problem happens or or the amount of things that can cause it to crash. Apparently some news anchor like crapped on him. That’S stupid, yeah yeah. What do you not have go outside and touch grass? I mean it’s not a terrible idea, but the kid didn’t look like super unhealthy or sickly, or anything he probably does touch grass.
I would also so I actually agree, but I would I would also throw it there that, in my opinion, he just set himself up for a career as a successful streamer yeah and he streamed the whole thing. If I remember correctly, he was on Twitch um, but was removed because of age restriction reasons, so I think he was streaming on YouTube or something but like tons of people know his name now he could play other games. This skill is going to transfer to other games. Imagine for a second if he took that and was like.
You know what I’m going to resurrect Guitar Hero. Let’S make Guitar Hero cool again guarantee you he’d, kill it he’d kill it created a career for himself at 13 and you’re, going to tell him to go inside and touch grass come on. Yeah H H like how much do you make as a mid-tier news anchor or whatever, like I think this kid’s going to do all right might outscale you before he’s like 15, like maybe what were you doing at 15? Maybe hold your horses a little bit. I don’t know just like youall need to look up clone hero right now.
Okay, I do know about clone hero. It’S super cool um. This is the same way as people beat Pac-Man. Yeah Riley – and I had this debate earlier to uh – was that today it today yesterday uh we had this debate yesterday um, I I think a community can determine a beat point for a game if there isn’t a clearly distinguished one or okay.
Well, this one they did have a beat point, but it had only ever been reached by an AI player. It hadn’t been reached by a human one, and that was the crash. Apparently there’s like a percentage chance of crashing at various stages. Yeah, here’s where the confusing part gets, though, because he had planned to beat it at like level 154 or something and ended up beating it at level 157. So the argument is like: could someone beat it at a higher level? I mean watching. Do that. I doubt it but sure I don’t really care as personally Riley didn’t agree, but personally I don’t really care as long as the community decides on a point, if that makes sense yeah, but you can decide and then someone will break past it anyway, because that’s how People are, and then what was the point of deciding it anyway, I don’t know yeah I mean I just I know, there’s enough speedrunning communities and there’s enough of these types of communities where they kind of have to come up with something right, because itn’t make a Lot of sense, and I’m personally, okay with them doing that, because an organic game Crash an organic kill screen, I think that’s valid, I mean no one can ever be the first to get that again, and I’ve heard that now the the competition moving forward is going To be like getting a higher score before you hit that crash, whether that’s through getting more like tetrises, which is where you clear four lines at once. I think um not really. I was actually decently into Tetris for a while there, but not anymore um or just yeah various ways of making try to try to manipulate your score to be higher before you hit that crash point, and I guess that could maybe be by getting to a higher Level, I don’t know anyway, incredibly cool either way and that news anchor lady is a jerk apparently like in the same breath pretty much. She congratulated a 16-year-old darts player, cool cuz, that’s so much more outside and athletic than Tetris.
Honestly, though, I mean come on, please the finger rolling thing is so sick, it’s so cool. I love that too, that, like they tend to wear gloves. I think, because the the fingers like slide better by by wearing like like it looks like cotton gloves. I don’t know so interesting, absolutely wild uh. Oh, I think it’s time for wo after dark, okay Dan Processing Unit. Just like do.
Oh okay, I was going to check and see if he’s streaming on Twitch, but then I realized, he’s 13 he’s probably not allowed on that campsite. H, blue scooty Scot, which is like actually a sick name. I actually it’s. It fits like.
You know he’s 13 he’s playing games. What’S your name, I don’t know. I have a color. I like a lot and scooty sounds cool yeah, blue scooty. Let’S go I like the name all right. It’S got to be hard to come up with names. Apparently he was banned from twitch for being too young yeah. He said fair enough. .
