Wow, talk about a turnaround. Good for this kid.

A refurbished Tetris arcade machine is on somewhere or everywhere. I have no intention of dropping any blocks. I shrivel inside each time it is mentioned. Fourty years ago, when the game was first released, it had a freshness, also a sense of moral good and fun. Then I began to be uneasy at the influence it might be having. The bad penny first dropped in San Francisco when a sweet-faced boy of thirteen told me proudly that he had beaten Tetris on the NES. His elegant mother nodded with approval. Looking into the boy's eyes I thought I detected little star-shells of madness beginning to form and I guessed that one day they would explode.
"I would love you to do something for me," I said.
"Anything! Anything!" the boy said rapturously.
"You won't like what I'm going to ask you to do," I said.
"Anything, sir, anything!"
"Well," I said, "do you think you could promise never to speedrun again?"
He burst into tears. His mother drew himself up to an immense height. "What a dreadful thing to say to a child!" she barked, and dragged the poor kid away. Maybe she was right but I just hope the lad, now in his thirties, is not living in a fantasy world of half A press, Any% banalities.

>>5003>>White "Men"Yes, we excel at spatial intelligence, and the way this White kid performs at Tetris is demonstrative of that. It's like with NASCAR, midwits decry the lack of diversity as racism, because they live in fantasy land where different races don't have different abilities.
>Tetris is a children's gameNo kid I ever knew was into Tetris. It's more of an adult game. I didn't get into it until I was a teenager, after my mind was more developed. Tetris was one of the few Nintendo games my Dad ever played, and he was 140+ IQ. I guess it could be a kid game if we're talking about high-IQ kids.

Are you too stupid to understand what he meant

>>5015What most people don't realize is the original Tetris, which he was playing, doesn't have piece holding like the newer versions, which makes it all the more impressive.
No.5017
>>5016>Piece holding is a crutch.Probably true. That's a lot of extra mental processing that the game is too fast to allow.
No.5018
>>5015More akin to duking it out with the game and winning. I'm sure climbers will go for error free game crashes at some point, but this is the best first win imaginable.

The invisible tetris game is easier than the nes one even though the nes can't even be beaten until the 13 year old in OP did it?
No.5032
>>5031That post is about the hold feature that's not in the NES game. This poster
>>5017 says that it's a feature that uses more mental processing and is unsuitable for faster paced games of tetris.
Invisible tetris is the most difficult form of tetris there is by making the player memorize the position of the tetromino by only showing the tetromino in motion. The hold feature adds an extra layer of complexity as the layout has the be remembered 4 levels deep to use the straight piece to get a 'tetris'/4 lines cleared at once. All this is done at a speed not possible on the NES game. Add in two player competition mode and only a few dozen humans can do it currently as both screens need to be memorized at the same time.
The point is there are far more difficult forms of tetris out there and the hold button isn't a crutch in some of them.
No.5034
>>5032I don't know what you're smoking, but holding has always been a crutch. You are setting aside a piece to use when you want, instead of making do with whatever hand you're dealt. They added it to later versions to make the game easier for normies.

That's why said soyboys still end up being terminally online "Mr. Ackshually" stereotypes.
