Is super crappy how a news reader from Skynews belittled the 13yrd old who beat Tetris and said stuff like "as a mother I would keep my kid away from the screen" and "he should go play outside, beating Tetris is not a life goal"
It's those "mothers" that do not understand their kid nor try to understand them but guide with the "parent handbook" because that's what's known
Setting such a world record is an amazing accomplishment, let alone at 13 years old! Support kids in what they do and like
I feel like I missed something...
@freemo A 13yrd old kid beat Tetris!

but a news ancor from Sky had to mock it.. 
it's time that pro gaming is also taken seriously like chess and darts etc
@stux Wait im watching the video now.. says he is the first kid to ever beat it? What? as a kid I know lots of people who beat it. I beat it, my uncle beat it... when you beat it a rocketship goes off in the end IIRC.
@stux@mstdn.social@freemo Yes but he really beat the game to the killscreen 
No code anymore and the game only runs on memory at that point i believe
@stux Well to be clear he didnt beat the original tetris.. this is some later version (maybe an NES version).. and he broke it by rolling over the high score digits, which is super impressive, but "beat" just isnt accurate, he broke it :)
The original tetris this wouldnt be possible as you'd beat the game before getting a score anywhere near there.
@freemo there's seriously a whole community around Tetris, like soo many games!
Check this, it's amazing
