    This was the first post of the day when I opened lemmy. And it was the first to make me super satisfied with a big grin. Absolute joy. Love it! I’m not even gonna scroll cause I love this moment too much to ruin it. I’m gonna fuck off to watch some saved videos instead. Hat tip.

        Let’s not give Nintendo credit for this one. His name is Alexey Pajitnov.

          Right, because they never blame the wrong people while they’re blaming the wrong things. Paragons of virtue and real sticklers for accuracy to maintain their journalistic integrity, those ones.

            What? No, I just mean to give the original creator of the game the credit he deserves. It was originally stolen from him.

    One minute you’re playing Tetris, the next minute you’re taking another man’s cock up your arse. The link is undeniable.

      They say correlation doesn’t equal causation, but the dick up the arse suggests otherwise

      I was scanning it for the “we’ve been played for ABSOLUTE FOOLS” part.

      …the itch wasn’t scratched. :(

    I played Tetris on the original game boy. Right now I’m listening to the Rocky horror picture show soundtrack.

    Coincidence?

      I don’t think so. You are five minute to gay.

    Yet, in the old days the only path to success was through shoving straight into a hole. Now a days (while having a Tetris 99 orgy) you have your T spins and your combos and your double T spins. It’s a T agenda conspiracy!

    They could have used terms like “convex” and “concave” to describe the shapes, but then again, I’m really picky when it comes to math.

    • @psud

      The convex ones are concave on the other side. The straight piece is generally called “the straight piece”

        The ones on the right contain some exterior angles that are less than 180 degrees, giving them concavity. Not every exterior angle of these shapes is this way, but due to having some exterior angles like this, I called them concave. The ones on the left have none of these such angles.

        I agree with calling a straight a straight.
