The level 31 was my first ever "greater than level 30" I've gotten. In voice chat with Supermines so that's why you see me talking.
Here is the full version of the video to clarify that these two really are back-to-back: youtu.be/43x7odkwWyA

![986,020 [former PB] SO FREAKING CLOSE - NES Tetris
I had a possible triple at the end with an L that I should have taken, would have bought me a bit more time waiting for the longbar. What a game, though! 986,020 [former PB] SO FREAKING CLOSE - NES Tetris](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qcZdSQNrXgc/mqdefault.jpg)


![FIRST 29 START TRANSITION - 201 lines [former PB] - NES Tetris
Got it finally! Its been an eternal plateau, both because of a waning interest in the game and an ineffective practice approach.
Ive started hard-training roll mechanics, getting 5 tap consistency higher and higher, and pressure cooking myself only on 29 starts, not slowing down for long 18 sessions back in my comfort zone. I dont really know how to train or improve effectively so Im going to keep experimenting with methods for improvement. One big blind spot in my approach is that i rarely watch gameplay, my own or others, so I make weird moves and miss obvious placements.
I hope this improvement keeps up. Im tired of not having a rollover, and the Lonestar tournament is in three weeks, which Im going to.

![999,160 [former PB] HOLY CRAP DOES SOMEBODY KNOW THE HEIMLICH - NES Tetris
Because I choked so hard, you see.
God, I just... Iโm not even sure what happened with that longbar at the end. I think it was an attempt at a wallcharge. I literally just needed a single and it would be a maxout.
Unofficially, Iโve scored 1,004,340 but I wasnโt recording, so... Now Iโve got to keep going. Iโm getting that recorded maxout. Just you wait and see. It might be a while, though.

![An unfortunate 13th 1.1mil - 1,199,680 [former PB] - NES Tetris
This was the hardest choke of my life my heart was beating so fast that I felt like I was about to throw up. 1.2 million would have been nice, but I have all the time in the world :)
Ive felt like I was in a slump the past few weeks but I changed the conductive pads inside my controller and got this within the hour. Rolling is super precise and finnicky, so a slightly bad controller fundamentally affects performance.
I got the pads from https://www.totalradnes.com/ they are my favorite pads Ive ever had and required no break-in. This is not a promotion; I just really like them lol An unfortunate 13th 1.1mil - 1,199,680 [former PB] - NES Tetris](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wyvzY00hHUo/mqdefault.jpg)
