I am dwangoAC, keeper of TASBot (@tas.bot) who plays video games perfectly on real consoles. I am on staff at TASVideos.org as Senior Ambassador and often work as a security consultant by day. See https://TAS.Bot and https://Discord.gg/TASBot for more!
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.

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!")
```

I don't recommend the side-effects of SIBO (I hurt so bad from the hydrogen buildup I can hardly work) but I can still meme my way to a smile

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...

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.

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.
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.

@angelwind.bsky.social Any interest in making a banner just for Bluesky? The one that had the Twitter logo on it is no good and was the wrong dimensions anyway. :)

With this (slightly faked) screenshot on Bluesky, I helped TASBot escape the bounds of Twitter/X for good. A little secret, I had to take the screenshot from the message draft view to display the full links, heh

Here's why there appear to be handle problems:
1. I created a new account with the temp name @tasbot.bsky.social
2. I set the ATProto handle to point at @tas.bot on accident
3. Changing it to @dwangoac.tas.bot errored out
4. I changed the email address to TASBot's (this is where I broke it...)
