@TransmitHim Because he played through 255 levels of the game, most of which were at lightning-fast speeds through playing past what was supposed to be the kill screen and some of which used glitched, hard to parse palettes. The player who "beat" NES Tetris earlier this year was the first to meet the actual kill screen: a game crash. To avoid a crash requires extremely precise play that I think is at the whims of the RNG for what Tetriminos you get, so it's understandable that to push the game further people opted to just fix the crash and play the modded version
@GhaleonUnlimited I agree. I have an easier time making the switch between Nintendo and Xbox controllers even though they have different letter layouts, but every time I've tried using a PlayStation controller, I can't make the adjustment easily because I don't remember where their buttons are - even though it follows the same general layout as Xbox! I could adjust, maybe, given more time, but it's not like PlayStation has much to offer me at this point because they put nearly everything on PC now anyways, where I can use an Xbox controller.

Re: Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated
Are these takedowns also being automated using Tracer AI?
Re: Minecraft Is Being Ported To Dreamcast And GameCube
Bet both ports run better than the Switch version of Minecraft
