Do Not Mess With Fish 279,

and you though fish were fun!

photograph Mutekimaru Channel/YouTube, well they started out as fun, but it became serious during an experiment, using motion-tracking software to monitor their movements and translate them into button inputs, Japanese YouTuber Mutekimaru set up his fish to play the latest Pokemon title on Nintendo Switch, as the fish swam they trigger a command on the motion-tracking software to monitor their movements and translate them into button inputs, all went well but it did take a tad longer than 3,000 hours to complete a game in the series, moving on to the next game they had been playing for more than 1,100 hours when the game crashed, which is perhaps not a surprise, given the latest Pokemon games have been criticized for being prone to bugs, and here is the fish in action,

 and that is when it all went mustang, Mutekimaru was away from his streaming setup, naturally the Switch continued to accept button commands from the fish, and then the unthinkable happened, the fish triggered a download from the store, had PayPal send their owner a confirmation email and changed their account name, sounds like these fish have been reading about how to hack an account! Worse to come, the fish managed to add 500 yen (£3.10) to Mutekimaru's account using the credit card that was stored on his Switch - and expose the card details to everyone watching, hopeful his followers did not take advantage of his card details! for the full story have a look here, although in the story it mentions the fish is a Siamese fighting fish, (Betta splendens), the fish in the video is a black neon tetra, (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi).
