This shows how important the right title is in your news article or blog post.

That post that got 9 points and 1 comment should have been called "Hatetris has been SOLVED (infinite score)" instead of "Losing the World Record in Hatetris".

And indeed, the original Hatetris has been solved: a loop has been discovered that lets you get any score.

The "Losing the World Record..." article is especially worth reading.

This is gold.

Reading the back-and-forth about the Hatetris world record progression has the Summoning Salt music playing in the back of my mind, and I absolutely want to see one of his YouTube expositions on the subject.

Maybe we can have another thread about that one specifically, once enough time has gone by.
