It's a graphics patch by the wonderful @zohassadar that makes the blocks look solid and connected. I really like it! It's based on the default rom so no score uncap--I had to recalculate it afterwards, and my dear friend @DekkTetris was kind enough to edit the video to show the recalculated score.
the patch is: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405470199400235013/1238709100066508880/connected.bps?ex=66497fbf&is=66482e3f&hm=d1a351c3bb5d5de0ee4c1dddfea06ffafc258245bd9779b3893ab476ba9d4ae2&
and it was shared in the CTM discord server: discord.gg/classic-tetris-monthly-374368504465457153

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!")

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.
This game is dedicated to biggiemac42.")

Because I choked so hard, you see.
God, I just... I’m 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, I’ve scored 1,004,340 but I wasn’t recording, so... Now I’ve got to keep going. I’m getting that recorded maxout. Just you wait and see. It might be a while, though.

for real though, gotta stay optimistic. pb is pb two very high 1.1 games in the course of a few days is a really good sign for improvement. also, the pace in this game was WAY better than the first pb game.
its all good! its fine. its good. im fine. everything is fine. its copacetic. it;s")
