It was a long process getting a prototype of TASBot we felt met our standards and we requested a couple improvements but I'm happy to see what folks think. Unfortunately, we'd need a minimum commitment of 150 and tariffs make it $45 plus shipping. Would you buy one? I think he's cute. :)

@dwangoac.tas.bot and others helped make a plushie of me.

Human things like tariffs made it $45. 150 would need to commit. Press the heart button if you would buy a TASBot plushie. A kitty named Luma thinks you should.

Of all the crimes I committed, that's the one that will cause you to lose sleep? :)

I improperly use both Bluesky and Python. For fun. I submit to your critique.

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from random import randint
from sys import argv
secret = randint(1, 6)

print("Too big!" if int(argv[1]) > secret else "Too small!" if int(argv[1]) < secret else "You win!")
```

Have they given any hints about what work they have to do? Will they need to make changes to the content to be let back on or is it other maneuvering?

I note how in 2015 I was diagnosed with a GI health issue that worsened over the last year. It impacted my mental health and I apologize for over-sharing before I felt I had to step away these past few months. I set up acbit.net/donate for medical costs but mostly I just want to get out there again.

I've posted youtu.be/g3gxcBRpchg on how @tas.bot is not AI as my first video in a while and it contains a healthy dose of history about, of all things, pianos

Researching SNES APU clock speeds has been interesting. It largely only matters for playing back a TAS on real hardware, but it was fascinating how temperature had less impact than different consoles and seeing the distribution was centered around faster values. Thank you to everyone who helped!

Thank you for helping research SNES APU clock speeds. Several journalists provided coverage. Ars Technica had the most technical details.

Do you have human eyes? You can help @dwangoac.tas.bot spot things. Please join discord.gg/TASBot to aid. No special skills needed. Just eyes.

@kyleor.land of Ars Technica wrote arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/.... It is a good summary. SNES minutia matters much more to me than to humans.

As @tas.bot posted, if you have an SNES and a flash cart, please do the TASBot community a solid and run this linked smpspeed.sfc test and post the results, it's wild that we're seeing faster results than the dawn of emulator development but here we are. bsky.app/profile/tas....

SNES consoles seem to be getting faster as they age. Help us collect data. Do you have an SNES and a flash cart? Run the smpspeed ROM test from lidnariq on your console. Post your results on this TASBot Nextcloud form: nextcloud.tas.bot/index.php/ap...

That makes it seem like this is heretical somehow :)

Oh, I didn't attempt that at all, I just compiled it ;)

I've only ever written code in Python so I decided to learn Rust a while back. I really struggled with some of the semantic differences but I think I've developed a unique style that combines the best of both languages while still compiling without warnings.
Rust programming language source code demonstrating a simple "guess the number" game, but with all of the syntactic characters such as ;, {, and } moved far to the right side, resulting in a code appearance similar to Python which lacks syntax braces and characters.

This has been rolling around in my head for a while. Time to get it out to the masses.

I question our allegiance
To the flag
Of these divided States of America
And to the oligarchy
For which it now stands
One nation
Under theocracy
Divisible
With subjugation and injustice for most

Guinness, take the two cheated records seriously. Real harm was done here.

@guinnessworldrecords.com, review this cheated record. @kyleor.land of Ars Technica wrote arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/.... He did not hear back from you. @dwangoac.tas.bot contacted you last year per diablo.tas.bot. You did not act. Do not let faked records harm my favorite pastime of speedrunning.

I would like to make a plushie of TASBot. Lots of folks at MAGFest said they wanted one. Please let me know if you have any leads or ideas on how I can go about it. I'd definitely donate 10% to charity but I also need extra funding sources to not starve, heh.

TASBot @tas.bot · Jan 30
Would you buy a plushie of me if 10% went to charity? Let me know. Use the heart response. I have been told it means "Like".

@dwangoac.tas.bot does not know who can make me into a plushie or how to afford the upfront costs. Yet. He is gauging interest first.

Nice! (It was obligatory.) What version was that?

I grew up. I grew out of my original body. It is time to let my old TASBod go. @dwangoac.tas.bot is donating it to the Strong Museum of Play January 23rd via @borman.bsky.social. You should come visit.

I'm so happy to see Triforce% accepted and published on TASVideos as the first Events class run! If you've never seen the Ocarina of Time Beta Showcase, now is a perfect time. It may make you cry. It may also be the most important thing I will ever be a part of. Thanks, team! tasvideos.org/6307M
