This was a pretty interesting video on the progression of world records on NES Tetris and the code that creates the kill screen.

That was surprisingly interesting! I had no idea that people are still playing Tetris on NES. I ended up watching the whole thing. Crazy how they managed to push the limits further and further..
I know! I found it through Hacker News and was skeptical about it given the click bait looking thumbnail and title but it turned out to be pretty decent. That record holder looks like he's about 12 - so weird to think of someone that young playing an NES game.
This is a fantastic video. Watched it on my lunch break. I was aware of the rolling method, but all of the developments after that were news to me. Very cool.

"first time player"
He is not, he's just young.
I think they mean it's the first time a player has reached a kill screen, not that it was his first time playing the game
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what they meant as well, but the phrasing is not the best lol
