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

@freemo A 13yrd old kid beat Tetris! :ed_grin:

but a news ancor from Sky had to mock it.. :nkoFacepalm2:

it's time that pro gaming is also taken seriously like chess and darts etc

@stux I wouldnt say its int he same class as chess, but it does deserve respect. Chess is an intellectual "puzzle" tetris is hand eye coordination. Both are impressive skills, just different category. But yea i agree.

I just dont get why anyone feels the need to mock anyone.. short of maybe people who are clearly cruel and evil and deserve the mocking.
