Oh noo, I can still hear the 4bit music from the Gameboy classic speaker …

ImmortanStalin,

Bahahaha yes!

Can confirm, not just with the game but similar activities eg: stacking those body parts into a nice cube really takes away from the stress of killing someone

Evil_Shrubbery,

I like to do a thinking pose but with their hands on my chin.

Evil_Shrubbery,

Oh, but be careful - stacking them however neatly won’t make the full rows disappear.

PsychedSy,

Depends on how good your friends are.

I don’t know, chief; have you seen modern Tetris gameplay?

AngryCommieKender,

What in the fuck is that‽‽ Where are they even looking on the screen? Also how much Adderall has been provided to these competitors?

Snapz,

“That’s my secret, Cap… I’m always Adderall.”

Bongles,

The shape at the top is where their current piece is, they just move to fast for it to really move. The hollow piece shows where it will land, the right hand side are the upcoming pieces.

So, I don’t know what hold is but I imagine they’re switching between looking at the board, the hollow piece, and the upcoming pieces.

Generally, they look at their own boards and keep their next piece queue in their periphery vision; the distinct colours of each piece is actually written into modern Tetris guidelines. Advanced players like these also glance at their opponent’s board to determine whether to delay their attacks, both offensively and defensively.

I’d like to plug my favourite Tetris match of all time: Salty Cup S2 - Doremy vs Wumbo

For context, Wumbo always uses the center 4-wide to win many tournaments, and while it was a very effective strategy, it was also extremely cheesy and boring to both watch and play against; he also maintained a “Tetris god” persona where he only ever uploads his wins to his Youtube channel. Doremy, on the other hand, was getting great attention for his flashy and fun Tetris plays, never shying away from uploading videos from his losses. Doremy also caught Wumbo editing out his losses from his Twitch VODs. All this culminated in a rivalry, and in this matchup, it was the underdog versus the overpowered villain. So while this Tetris match isn’t as flashy and fast as the more recent ones, it is definitely one of the most memorable.

Caesium,

you got me watching a half-hour vid on competitive tetris. that’s some crazy stuff

    well the good was ruined to the extreme in order to facilitate the profit motive. Everything must be new and flashy and in your face! All the time! 24/7!

    It makes me so burnt out.

    damn too late

    WtfEvenIsExistence, to youshouldknow in YSK if you've seen something traumatic, playing Tetris for a couple of hours afterwards can drastically reduce the chance of it becoming a deeprooted memory and causing PTSD

    How does that work if your parents continues to yell at you when are trying to play tetris to try and stop getting PTSD from their screaming?

    VR Tetris.

    Transcendant,

    Noise cancelling headphones, perhaps?

    Chunk,

    Then you grow up to have panic attacks.

    cubedsteaks,

    lmao this is how it worked out for me!

    What happened?

    Kecessa,

    You realise that if it’s traumatic to them they might not want to talk about it?

    SaakoPaahtaa,

    Ok but I wanna hear about it

    Vile_port_aloo,
    @Vile_port_aloo@lemmy.world avatar

    The internet demands to know…

    @Kaldo@kbin.social avatar

    They are the ones tho brought it up, chill

    Duranie,

    I get being curious, but different people have different timelines and levels of comfort when processing their trauma.

    If they’re ready to discuss and let you know what happened, they’ll offer the amount of information they’re prepared to share. If they don’t offer, then please respect their space.

    Serinus,

    That’s good advice for real life. But this is the internet. The social consequences for just not answering the dude are zero. It’s not even rude to completely ignore him. The story was teased, almost begging for the question. They may have wanted it asked.

    If they want to share, they’ll share. I don’t think they’re going to feel prsssured because the internet asked.

    cubedsteaks,

    Right? And if they don’t respond, its not like anyone here is gonna fucking hammer them to reply. This thread will die of obscurity like they always do and most people won’t even remember chatting here.

    I have C-PTSD and I hate when people try to get all over protective about trauma. People can ask things. Especially if they are brought up.

    Same for me except last year. Also probably would have killed time faster in the hospital.

    I’ve actually been playing Tetris non stop since the first Trump mug shot post I saw, my stress level dropped, I almost forgot it… Then I came back and the second post I saw was a Trump mugshot… Back to the drawing board.

    Transcendant,

    Sadly, I think we’re going to see that picture a lot over the years. I hope the next defining image of him features a jumpsuit that matches his spray tan.

    the meaning behind the picture will ultimately depend on the verdict. what it shows now is that no one is above the law.

    lucky us Tetris wasn’t a thing back when Batman was a kid

    Nah, Post Traumatic Growth is where holy grail of human behavior lies. (Been there, done that)

    time to put tetris in the mental health folder on my phone

    Unseeliefae, to youshouldknow in YSK if you've seen something traumatic, playing Tetris for a couple of hours afterwards can drastically reduce the chance of it becoming a deeprooted memory and causing PTSD

    Downside is, every time you play Tetris to prevent PTSD, it causes you to remember all the traumatic shit that ended up tucked away in the back of your brain from all those previous times you played Tetris to avoid PTSD.

    I would guess that you are joking but with truth.

    xX_fnord_Xx, to youshouldknow in YSK if you've seen something traumatic, playing Tetris for a couple of hours afterwards can drastically reduce the chance of it becoming a deeprooted memory and causing PTSD

    So this is why I have trouble recalling the 90s.
