I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Everybody talking about Scooty "beating" the game but nobody is talking about the story. There is a story. You are building a missile silo with bricks. The lines aren't disappearing, the camera is scrolling up. It was the Cold War. It makes sense.
I have no official documentation of this.
No it was obviously a new gulag that you built around yourself! I do have documentation on this, but it's mainly geometric symbols and scribblings about higher dimensions. My mom says it's schizo, but she just doesn't see the patterns!
False. I’ve won, you just need to be good enough to become a Tetris Master. Keep practicing! ;)
Grand Master even
A lot of people talking about the arcade component, but Tetris was the original shareware. It was a phenomena that spread through the USSR until it touched a British entrepreneur. It didn't even keep score originally.
A shitload of early games only method of defeating the player was simply to be come more difficult or faster until the player ran out of lives, especially during the early years of video games in the ‘70s and ‘80s. This is not a feature unique to Tetris at all.
The only real difference is Tetris’ longevity, which has far outlasted the Soviet Union it originated from.
Lib boomer meme.
You know the russophobia is bad on Lemmy when literally nobody mentions it in 80+ comments and this nonsense is upvoted 700 times.
The power of the bogeyman is strong here.
I love when someone unironically uses that particularly dumb -phobia term because I immediately know to disregard everything else they've said.
Looking at your post history I continue to be correct.
You can finish the game by hitting a memory overflow bug very far in the game under specific conditions. Just look up finishing Tetris...
In the NES version, yeah
Yeah people act like the grand master edition doesn't have a following or a credits bonus level.
Tetris is like a drug.
Unitonically, they actually use it to various degrees of success in a clinical setting.
Drugs are like tetris
Tetris drug like are
I am the man that arranges the blocks
That decend upon me from up. Above.
They come down and I spin them around
Till they fit in the ground like hand. In. Glove.
I am the man that arranged the blocks
That are made by the men. in. Kazakhstan.
they come two weeks late.
and they dont tesselate.
so much for the leaders five. year. plan.
My grandpa once told me a story
Of when he worked in the bycicle factory
And the delivery of bike chains didn't come in
So for producing. enough. bikes.
They took the chains from the finished products
And brought the dismembered and the new bicycle. into. storage.
Another one on the list for the five year plan.
What's the big deal? 2048 is like this too.
2048 has a finite board and an "ending". 131072 is the biggest block you can get (assuming you're playing a version that occasionally spawns a 4 instead of 2), after that you can still fill up the board with descending pieces but you won't have enough space to upgrade them all.
