[READ DESCRIPTION] 17 lines on level 29 with hypertapping - NES Tetris (8/10/2024) 

after 2 years of leaving this channel dormant i've finally come back with something to show.
while practicing for the upcoming CTWC regionals event held in Vietnam, i got 17 lines on lvl 29 speed, which is the most i've ever gotten.
since my first maxout i've only managed to get 2 more, but that's really because i only really play in the summer. i barely play in the school year at all.
to reflect on my nes tetris career, i started playing around february - march of 2021, and i've been playing on and off since then. after this year's CTWC Vietnam i'll probably retire or play even less, as i have no ambitions on learning rolling or getting higher scores beyond a maxout.
i'm happy with how my life is going and tetris is just a way to reflect on how far i've come in terms of everything. it's consuming less and less of my life as i type this and maybe this time next year i won't even be participating in the regional event.
as for my hopes for the vietnamese classic tetris community. i hope it continues to expand and reach a wider audience. more rollers and higher level players making it to the world championship. the fact that me, one who got 800ks in the quals managed to secure 2nd seed is lowkey depressing, so i'm hoping to see that change soon.
i've been in this community for 3 years now and though i still have a great passion for tetris and the likes, it's just become impossible for me to advance in the game without staying inside of my comfort zone, and i don't think i'm quite ready to make such a switch.
well, enough rambling, good luck have fun.
