Earlier this week, 13-year-old player Willis Gibson became the first person to ever beat the game𒉰 in 34 years by reaching such a high level that it crashed. This is known as the "True Killscreen" and the competitive community has been trying to reach it for years. It's an impressive feat, but one Sky News reporter told the boy to "go outside".
"As a mother, I would just say step away from the screen, go outside, get some fresh air," 51-year-old Sky News anchor Jayne Secker laughed (as reported by ). &quo🌳t;Beating Tetris is not a life goal."
Gibson's mother, a school teacher, had different feelings about her son's achievement, "I'm actually OK with it. He does other things outside of playing Tetris, so it wasn't that terribly difficult to say OK. It was harder to find an old CRT TV than it was to say, 'Yeah, we can do this for a little bit.'"
Following Secker's comment, many jumped to support Gibson on Twitter, calling her statement "old-fashioned" and "smug". VGC features editor Chris Scullion, who shared the clip online, tweeted, "It is the Year of Our Lord 2024 and Sky News is still telling people who play video games to go outside and get some fresh air, notably on the same day they're praising a 16-year-old darts player".
The head of communications at the UK Games Industry Trade Body, Bhavina Bharkhada, also called out the double standard, "What's bonkers about how this has been covered is if it was, say a child chess champion, we'd all be celebrating - they'd even be invited to Downing Street to play chess."
Regardless, the Tetris community has celebrated this achievement en masse, as Gibson has pulled off what was presumed for years to be an impossible feat, conquering not only 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:incredibly high speeds but glitched colour levels that go as far as to render blocks practically invisible as they tu♊rn pitch-black.
