<p>Even <i>Tetris </i>professionals struggled to beat level 38 before it became impossible to progress further.</p>
<p>However, a game-changing technique called &#8216;rolling&#8217;, introduced in 2021, transformed the <i>Tetris </i>community and led to﻿ numerous new world records.</p>

<p><p>A flurry of records sparked curiosity within the <i>Tetris</i> community about the game&#8217;s limits. Exploring uncharted territories, players stumbled upon corrupted colours, including shades like &#8216;Charcoal&#8217; and &#8216;Dusk&#8217;, making the blocks nearly indiscernible to the naked eye. Through thorough investigation, players discovered that the game could crash at level 155, resulting in a new killscreen — a term used in classic games to describe a corrupted screen that halts player progress.</p>
<p>The climax occurred in December 2023, featuring a showdown between Blue Scuti, a relatively unknown player, and Justin &#8220;Fractal&#8221; Yu, the reigning Classic <i>Tetris</i> world champion. The objective was to race to the new killscreen and &#8216;beat&#8217; <i>Tetris</i>. Blue Scuti, despite being the first to reach the goal, remarkably missed the initial crash point. This led to a tense few minutes as he attempted to find a new point to achieve a killscreen, ultimately succeeding at level 157.</p>

<p>While Blue Scuti has set a new benchmark for players all over the globe, the chase to the end is perpetual.</p>
<p>Theoretically, a player can reach the fabled level 255, marked by a pure red colour scheme, provided that the player manages to navigate past the progressively increasing crash points. Beating this level would loop the game back to level 0, signifying that the player has genuinely reached <i>Tetris</i>&#8216; ultimate frontier and returned to the starting point.</p>

<h2>Valve, the developer of the world&#8217;s largest video game storefront, Steam, is finally moving on from Windows 7, 8, and 8.1</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>As of 1 January 2024, if you&#8217;re still gaming on older version of Windows predating Windows 10, you&#8217;re on your own as Valve has decided to drop support for older versions of Windows. </p>
<p>To continue receiving Steam updates, especially security fixes, and to maintain your gaming experience﻿, it&#8217;s time to upgrade to Windows 11 or Windows 10.</p>

<p>However, Valve <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4784-4F2B-1321-800A">wants you to know</a> it&#8217;s a bit risky, as Steam relies on an embedded Chrome version that no longer functions on older versions of Windows.</p>
<p>In fact, Google dropped support for Windows 7 back in January 2023, and the last Chrome version compatible with that version of Windows is Chrome 109.</p>

<p>Previously, users on an older version of Windows could upgrade to Windows 10 without needing to purchase a new key.</p>
