Does playing #videogames improve related human skills? We investigated this in a registered report using #tetris and mental rotation - and found evidence of a lack of transfer.

A 13 year old boy nicknamed Blue Scuti is the first human being in history to crash Tetris in this way. He is the first person ever to see Tetris's real killscreen. This game is over twice his age, and he is the first to kill it dead.

The pixel matrix of the character set of the Soviet 15IE text terminal
This is the character set and the ROM font of the Soviet VT52-compatible text terminal 15ИЭ-00-013, notably used with the PDP-11-compatible workstation computer Электроника 60, on which the original version of was made in 1985.

There are two parallel ASCII-derived character sets that may co-exist on the screen but (AFAIK) need special control codes to switch between. Each alphabetic character has a unique pixel shape, so it is possible to visually distinguish e.g. a Latin A from a Cyrillic A.

Source: original documentation linked to by the Russian Wikipedia page of the 15ИЭ-00-013.

At the end of last year a 13-year old was the first person in history to "beat" Tetris on the NES, by getting so far that the game crashed.

This is a neat explainer on why the game crashes:

Another person crash best , but this person got the earliest crash first. This is pretty inspiring, but I don’t have the time or care to get that good at Tetris. It is so bad ass though. https://youtu.be/gGID9pD_-mU?si=8yuZpoBPUjekkQaT

This is really a very nerdy 17 minute video on the backgrounds of Tetris and its various "end screen" situations. 🤓 🎮

Look at this kid playing on the right now. That tap technique that the community has come up with to deal with the crazy speed at later levels is next level. https://www.youtube.com/live/7Iz3Ogo3fUI?si=8CacF3tSOumlolLF

Get some 🍿, 💩 hits the fan:


just told the 13 years old kid who has beaten for the first human ever, EVER, after almost 40 years the game was release to quote

"As a mother, I would just say step away from the screen. Go outside, get some fresh air. Beating Tetris is not a life goal"

Read about it here: https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-67885320

When it takes ~34 years to hit the bug that crashes your app... impressive. Well done!
