Happy 1 year since this! #worldbookday
In today's episode of Pokémon Blue + Wordle, I receive a Bulbasaur then give myself 24 hours to decide whether I should give it a nickname.

I missed this so clearly need to up my pun spotting game
There's a chance I made a grave mistake... But also I guess I'm trying to do a run with the least number of key presses rather than a standard speedrun so who know what I should've done
Anything that might make the game slightly easier and save me 6 years of waiting for a Wordle answer with a K in it
The world record speedrun for Pokémon Red/Blue is 1 hour, 43 minutes and 40 seconds. In that run, they picked their started after 1 minute and 23 seconds.
I picked my starter after 18 days, which I reckon gives me a lower bound of 3.7 years to complete simultaneous Pokémon Blue and Wordle...
Nearly 3 weeks ago I started playing simultaneous Pokémon Blue and Wordle (hard mode) - whenever I type W, A, S, or D in Wordle, I press an arrow in Pokémon; K and J are the A and B buttons; and O and I are start and select.
This weekend I finally picked my starter.

The bot knows the Wordle answer before it starts then works it out from there
I have fixed a bug so now there's less chance of it doing something stupid like the L
Tetris played on Wordle!
I love what’s going on over at @wordle-tetris.bsky.social
Thanks to @ayliean.bsky.social's suggestion, the bot is now favouring picking words in more common use so you might actually recognise some of the words from now on
It didn't rotate the L and instead took the L
Just something to watch for amusement (for now at least)
Don't worry, I have plenty of work that I should be doing instead of garbage like this

I made this throwaway joke into a bot: @wordle-tetris.bsky.social
It's official! www.speedrun.com/winter_olymp...
Annoyingly, the thing I made to show which button I was pressing glitched out and stopped showing what I was doing as this run started, even though it worked fine in the previous run (youtu.be/xyRvT2VqDXo)
I did it! New world record time for Winter Olympics on the Sega Master System: 11:17 youtu.be/DTp1JdnNMM8
Now I just need to practice enough that I can get golds in event event and set a record for 100%ing the game...
I had a stupid idea and now I have to spend 10 minutes every day making it happen www.youtube.com/shorts/83-s0...
Wordle Tetris day 2: Game over
There is no word in the dictionary that gives 🟩🔲🟩🟩🟩 with today's answer so game cannot advance
*Wordle (I really wish you could edit to correct typos)
Sure, I'll update the time on the cron job when I get home this evening
The real hard mode will be trying to find real words tomorrow when the z block needs to move one square lower
New game to play: Wordle tetris

I am yet to do enough testing to find out
I'm celebrating the Winter Olympics by speed running the 1993 Sega Master System game Winter Olympics. Completed my first run in 12:01 (and accidentally came top of the medals table). This should put me in second place at www.speedrun.com/winter_olymp... www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVOK...
The sound of drones chasing after skiers is the vuvuzela of 2026
If you're in London tomorrow and don't have evening plans, come see me to a 15 minute bit about my favourite bit of maths in a kids TV show from the 60s (plus a load of other people doing hopefully equally niche bits)

We're delight that there's even more maths on the lineup, as mathematician, programmer and on of the editors of Chalkdust magazine, @mscroggs.co.uk joins the lineup for our January 26 show!
