I watched that video when it came out and it sent me down a rabbit hole of speed running and gaming retrospectives that was so deep I now can’t even sleep without my gaming videos. I don’t even play games and haven’t in many years but I’m so deep in the shit now even my daughter questions my watching habits wondering why I watch this stuff but don’t actually play.
Ah the ole summoning salt a roo. I feel like we’ve all been down a similar rabbit hole. I went down one with one of his many Mike Tysons punch out videos lol
No he glitched it on purpose. classic tetris game doesn’t stop. it goes forever until you lose.
however after certain level there is specific glitch that stops the game and it’s up to you can choose to not do it and play forever, or get multiple chances to delay it few more levels then do it to glitch and crash the game. That’s as close as you can get to “beating” the game
Not true. A few months ago, a kid played Tetris until it crashed. Technically beating the game.
When you quit the game, you lose. When the game quits instead, you win.
In Russia the game quits you.
Summoning Salt has a great video about it, if you have 2 hours to kill.

I know more about Mario Kart 64 shortcuts now than at any time during when I was actually playing the game.
More recently, by avoid the crash states, “rebirth” has been achieved, which is where the level overflows and wraps all the way back to level 0.
So, true. The game is infinite unless you screw up and die

Fittingly, hacking the system to one’s advantage is part of the Russian mindset too.
