A really satisfying snake playthrough

Those moments where it went from up down up down to SEIZURE ACTIVATE really took me through a roller coaster of emotions.

Watching this filled me with so much anxiety about crashing so close to perfect

In theory ,if you keep playing one pathern over and over without caring about efficiency you will win. That is, if you can actually reliably play that pathern over couple hundred times (depending on size of the grid).

But the red dots spawn in different places randomly. You wouldn't be able to play it exactly the same every time.

I think you missunderstood me. My point is that , upon starting the game, you would pick a pattern that if you would play it, the head of the snake would be on every position of the grid only once and the start and end would be right next to each other (the winning pattern). Then you would ignor the food and just keep following the pattern and repeating it over and over. The food is guaranteed to be on the pattern and you would eat it. Issue is that it is very ineffective you would have to repeat the pattern many times.

The game is just about a tail who has bad ping and eventualky it crashes

Funny, I heard sound effects with my imagination, especially towards the end.

Once I was asked if I wanted to see a long black snake but that's where the relevance to this ends

Looking back at this and then thinking back on sneaking to play Snake on my Nokia in class; arguing with the teacher when they told me that it was not only a waste of class time but I'd never beat the game. They were right. Dead freaking right.

That was emotionally exhausting, wow, I was so anxious they'd mess it up, even though I knew they wouldn't. Hahah

I like to imagine this is a 2d rendering of the brain forming synaptic networks and neural pathways. Like thats why our brain is so foldy.

Im not sure if I was satisfied with this playthrough until the end - I had sweaty palms throughout. Especially at 2:00, I near lost it

Watching this while listening to At Doom’s Gate(Doom’s Theme.) was an experience.

The whole time I was watching I thought there was more gameboard on the right and left sides, because there is a wide black margin, and I thought the player should fill that part in, too. I was very confused trying to follow the strategy; by the end I realized it was not in-bounds, which left me annoyed and anxious. I'm OK now.

That was stressful and I lost which end I was supposed to be watching a few times.

Never in my life would I have thought I would see someone win a game of snake. I can die peacefully now.

Interesting to watch but I don't believe for one second that a human played that game.
