Should Tetris hypertapping be banned?

Should hypertapping be banned, it just gives you arthritis early in life and completely defeats the purpose of classic tetris

      Is there any study that investigated it as a mental disorder? I'm still trying to wrap my head around as to why people would do it but I haven't found any decent answer, professional esports aside.

        If you've never watched a sibling or friend play a video game for any amount of time, I think you're the one with a me talk disorder.

            i like agdq because they usually explain whatever mechanics they are using to a general audience, whereas watching an individual speedrunner stream for hours sounds like torture

                I like watching GDQ and speedrun commentaries in general. It's fun and it's just a small minority that screeches about muh trannies or whatever.

                You're the first in this thread to mention them.

                AGDQ is full of dudes with zero charisma that literally cry over video games. I would watch Low Tier God every day of the week over anyone at AGDQ.

                Well maybe people aren't watching them for their "charisma" anon, ever think of that? Little children watch Pewdiepie and he makes funny noises and they laugh at it and it keeps them entertained. Adults are usually more interested in the content of what a person is doing.

                I don't really care about the personalities. I want to watch the runs and hope they'll give good explanations, typically the runs where they try to be funny or relatable are the worst, like AGDQ 2019's Resident Evil run.

                Also, its great background noise or something to just have on when I have free time.

            I'm not a fan of Mortal Kombat but even I can enjoy Sonic Foxx vs Perfect Legend in their first to 10. Frick the gameplay, the hype and commentary are too good.

            With AGDQ what even compares? I watched a few clips and it was too much for me to stomach.

            Karl Jobst is a champion of these speed runners and his claim to fame is beating the very first level of goldeneye on the easiest setting. He was brought to tears over this feat. What the frick.

              This is why people into e-sports are idiots. They are more into it for the community and memes than the games themselves. They likely call themselves "gamers" too.

            Whenever I watch a let's play or a streamer I'm focusing on how they approach games and what they do different from what I would do.
            I once watched this one guy play Sonic Mania but he tried to explore the entire level at once, trying to find all of the giant rings and 1up boxes like it was a Metroid game. Stuff like that is interesting to me.

        That's why I wrote aside of esports.
        [...]
        No, that would even make sense, it's still a particular feat as uninteresting as it sounds.
        I mean how can someone spend hours watching some random person normally playing a game on youtube or twitch (except of ethots of course).

        I think it's mostly very lonely people. I watched a lot of twitch when I was in college, but then I was living alone, far from family, didn't have any friends, and also not a lot of money for videogames.
        I would go to college, then go to work, and when I got home I would turn on Twitch while I had dinner and until I slept. The channels I frequented really gave me some sense of community, like hanging around with people, and the games were just background noise. Never given anyone any money, obviously.
        Since then I've turned my life around, and funny enough can't stand Twitch anymore, but I look fondly to those times
        I still watch games I like from AGDQ sometimes, though. It's fun to see those games getting completely broken, and sometimes I even learn a trick or two I can use

        I've only enjoyed it once or twice when the person playing it was also doing particularly amusing commentary. In that case, you're basically there for stand-up comedy and not for watching some loser play video games.

    is this true? I think it should be investigated. On one hand it seems incredibly unhealthy, on the other it seems to be a bit like fast down-picking on a guitar

    It defeats the purpose of classic tetris completely.
    The point was to watch amazing building with limited movement. Thebest builder wins. Now that movement has been "unlocked" by spazzing on your controller, that aspect is going away little by little. I get that it's popular still, but it's evolving slowly into who is the fastest spastic and can vibrate his fingers on the controller fastest. It's a little ridiculous, but I guess the physical skill is to be applauded or something I dunno. I'd rather TGM made a comeback, but eh, memes and twitch right.

      right now it's kind of a shitfest but as it grows more popular the best builders will emerge anyway, you can only tap so fast anyway

        I understand that, the best builder+spaz will emerge but I don't know how to feel about there being a physical entry to actually build. One doesn't have much to do with the other.

        Imagine if the competition was done but instead of a mn average controller, you have to move the pieces by tapdancing. Only those that can tapdance reappy fricking fast (with a genetic and age limit factor) can compete. But it's still tetris right? And the best builder out of the tapdancers will win anyway. Yeah, but I dunno man.

          I think it's just a natural aspect of competitions growing. Although hyper tapping does put a very strong physical barrier to accessibility, it's not like anyone could play on level 18 comfortably with just knowing how to build. There's always some degree of physical behaviour

        that's cool. i wanted to kind of prove that NES tetris didn't have to control as "bad" as it does. i wanted to see how fast i could make the game. i also wanted control over the pieces at fast levels without killing my thumb.
        the hack is not for everyone, in fact, i made it for one person: me.
