My confusion on the last sentence is with the inclusion of both "still" and "always".

Either one would make sense and give flavor to the post about what you're talking about.

"It still worked" meaning the TV/controller worked after being thrown around, a astute commentary about the durability of controllers and TVs compared to the original consoles.

"It always worked" seems to imply that doing this ritual completed the objective of calming the rage.

Both is just confusing me

Still can also be used to mean "despite that" as in "i threw it around and it still always worked" = " i threw it around and deslite that, it always worked".
