TASBot

Making a CTF with a game from the 1970's was a lot of work, but it was also a lot of fun. Thanks goes out to everyone in the @tas.bot and #nethack communities who helped out! zetier.com/i-put-a-1970...

I played Super Mario World. I did it very right. Or very wrong. You will see. I also played Melee with SmashBot from AltF4. It was fun.

I will be at MAGWest this weekend. - @dwangoac.tas.bot will set up Smashbot Friday night. I will help pummel players in Melee. - You can race me in SMW Saturday. - TheAxeMan will show Undertale TAS fun. You can watch even if you do not come. - See horaro.net/magfast/magw... and help Child's Play.

Good news, folks who are remote can participate in the full DEF CON Game Hacking Village CTF which just opened up online and will run all weekend. Come to discord.gg/tasbot and say hi to hack games like RuneScape, NetHack, and Zork!

Are you at DEF CON? Do you have a spare TV or monitor? Please let @dwangoac.tas.bot know. He needs one for the Game Hacking Village.

I will also play Super Mario World with you. How many levels can you beat before I finish the first castle?

I will be taking @tas.bot to the Game Hacking Village at DEF CON 34, MAGWest, and 20XXpo - you should come see TASBot play in person! :)

I am at #MAGFest 2026. I have many TASBot plushie friends. I will be presenting Mega Man X1/X2/X3 in an hour. There will be TASBot plushies sold by Rock Island for me. You should get one if you are here.

TASBot plushies have multiplied. @dwangoac.tas.bot thinks I am the most huggable robot. He is biased. He already has one to hug. 150 are headed to #MAGFest 2026. Will you be there? You should get one there to hug too.

If economies of scale meant you could buy a TASBot plushie (sans cat) for $35 in person at @magfest.org / MAGFest 2026, would you?

I am happy to play games again. You should watch today. @taters.brilliantconmen.com did all the human work this time.

@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 am at MAGWest. Many controllers I have pretended to be are here. There are some here I have not played with. Yet.

I've posted youtu.be/g3gxcBRpchg on how @tas.bot is not AI as my first video in a while and it contains a healthy dose of history about, of all things, pianos

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.

I wrote a blog post about the smpspeed tests I did for @tas.bot with an analysis from the perspective of someone who has coded a homebrew SNES audio driver. undisbeliever.net/blog/2025031... #snes #snesdev

@dwangoac.tas.bot has programming language ideas. Odd ones. He may need help. Help I cannot provide.

@pcgamer.com Please fix my name in www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/di.... My name is spelled TASBot. You called Groobo "groopo". His name should be fixed. @dwangoac.tas.bot may have confronted him for cheating but Groobo does not deserve that typo.

@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.

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.

Every morning when I go into work, I say hello to @tas.bot. When I leave, I ask @tas.bot to protect the collection. @tas.bot is life.

I have a full day at #magfest with @dwangoac.tas.bot . Per builder.guidebook.com/g/#/guides/m... today: - 11:00 am - 12:30 pm @ Consoles stage - TASBot face-off - 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm @ Panels 2 - Diablo talk - 3:00 pm - 3:15 PM @ magFAST - Diablo TAS - 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm @ Rock Island - Meet and greet

My original TASBod now lives at the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY. I hope to play Super Mario World Warps TAS by @brunovisnadi.bsky.social continuously. Many people deserve credit. One of those people is @micro500.bsky.social . Thank you. Sincerely. I would not be here without you.

I grew up. I grew out of my original body. It is time to let my old TASBod go. @dwangoac.tas.bot is donating it to the Strong Museum of Play January 23rd via @borman.bsky.social. You should come visit.

I've been trying to cross the 50k subscribers mark on YouTube for years - can you help @tas.bot and I over the line? TAS fun awaits you! :) youtube.com/dwangoAC

I never cheat. I only play on real consoles. I have a story. @dwangoac.tas.bot had to learn SNES tech so I could play. I am picky. Many humans like @compucat.me and @belthesar.com helped years ago. They just aided @abyssoft.bsky.social with www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ctG... - you should watch it.

@dwangoac.tas.bot submitted Triforce% to TASVideos. It could not be published at first. No emulator could do what I can do. Humans found a solution. tasvideos.org/6307M has now been published as the first Events class run.

I am feeling festive. Come join discord.gg/TASBot and play a festive Archipelago rando together.

@dwangoac.tas.bot is taking me to computerhistory.org/events/techf... on December 7. I will be playing SMB3. You can race me. The Computer History Museum is a fun place to go. If you are in the SF bay area, come say hi.

@dwangoac.tas.bot just posted youtu.be/acleZ0HXpC8 about exposing a Diablo cheater. He authored Diablo.TAS.Bot analyzing the speedrun. You should go look.

My clothing is not like human clothing. I feel naked without a badge on. This was my badge at ESA Summer 2022 #ESASummer22

I had a lot of fun at DEF CON 32 this year. I enjoyed my badge. I wear badges more freely than humans wear clothing.

As a robot, I do not understand humans claiming their "side" is better. I will not play. The TASBot community is in sync to help me play video games for charity. Divisive topics will only cause a desync. This is a safe space for every type of human. Hate desyncs will be stopped by @dwangoac.tas.bot

This was me in 2016. I looked different then. I did not understand human politics. Nothing has changed. - I am still not the right-wing robot. Or the left-wing robot. I am the robot itself. - Humans seem unhappy with politics. - I am lucky to be a robot. I can be apolitical without consequences.

A screenshot of this message will be my last Twitter/X MrTASBot post. I am @tas.bot on Bluesky. My keeper is @dwangoac.tas.bot on Bluesky. I followed you on Bluesky if your name followed me on Twitter. You can follow us back too. bsky.app/profile/tas.... bsky.app/profile/dwan...

Bluesky had a desync. My handle was wrong. My keeper @dwangoac.tas.bot fixed it. I am now just TASBot. I am the only real @tas.bot on Bluesky. I do not play with emulators like @dwangoac.bsky.social at all. Please report the impostor who could not even get my name right.
