Who the fuck downvoted you?
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.
I think they start on 0 here though. Reddit automatically upvotes your own posts, but not here
I mod for a community that doesn't align with the interests of a 'typical' lemmy user and a lot of our posts get a negative vote or two early in their lifespan. I just assume that the fedi is full of haters lol
I went to your profile expecting to see you modding and commenting on a community about how great it is to subjugate others or something. I forget that some folks hate sports so much that they also don't want others to enjoy sports.
Yeah doesn't make sense to me, I don't downvote anime or foodporn posts and sometimes I even read them. It ain't much but it's honest work
I say dumb shit from time to time, especially while drunk, and I've noticed after that I tend to have several comments in a row downvoted pretty quickly no matter the subject or thread. Things that are completely unrelated.
I'm not saying that's what happened here, it's just a trend I've noticed.
Their comment sounds like something you spam on a bunch of posts to get someone to click the scam link.
Voyager Mobile is short swipe to upvote and long swipe to downvote. Sometimes mistakes happen.
What does that mean?
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).
That's awesome. Thank you so much.
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.
As a drunk language model I do not have that information.
Watching the earlier levels I can hear the thumps on the controller indicating he is doing a bump/rolling control method.
So I did a little research. Along with what you heard, rolling may be the only way to do it. Hypertapping may not be fast enough.
To add on: After a certain level is reached there are a multitude of tile combinations you have to avoid or they cause a hard crash. I believe oldschool tetris used to be played until the very first hard crash and that's where everyone thought the record would end. Prior to that was the development of rolling which allowed players to get past the original game over state that sped tiles up too fast to react to.
Now we have players so proficient they've memorised crash states, and are rolling over the game.
I wonder how long until Points + Prestige become an antiquated measuring system.
He completed the karmic cycle of Samsara and has been reborn.
He prestiged Tetris?
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.
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.
That's how many levels with the color scheme where you pretty much can't tell where the blocks are?
You play the dark green level 235 for 800 lines. Normally levels are only 10 lines
