How many A-button presses does it take to beat Super Mario 64?

Just 13, apparently.

To see how we got here, this incredibly in-depth video from Bismuth highlights how the A-button challenge community managed to whittle down the number of A-presses, which players must use to make Mario jump or perform other actions, required to beat Super Mario 64.

And yes, it’s five-and-a-half hours long, but it’s well worth the watch if you’re interested in the game mechanics and intricate techniques that make this feat possible.

Get ready, Washington.

TikTok’s planning to flood the nation’s capital with “dozens” of influencers next week for a three-day protest of Biden’s potential ban on the app, according to a report from Politico.

The Chinese-owned app is reportedly even paying the influencers for their journey to DC, although it’s unclear who will be in attendance. TikTok spokesperson Jamal Brown has since confirmed the company’s plans to Politico:

We look forward to welcoming our creators to our nation’s capital, helping them make their voices heard, and continuing to drive meaningful impact in their lives and for their communities.

Diablo IV’s world boss gets unleashed today.

If you, too, sacrificed your health for a Diablo IV beta code, you’ll have a few chances to defeat the world boss Ashava today. You can team up with friends or join other players to take on the “gargantuan plague bearer” at these four times: 2PM, 4PM, 2AM, and 4AM ET.

Update: Daylight Savings Time apparently does not exist in Sanctuary, so the times have been updated to reflect that.
