Tetris is like a drug.

YiddishMcSquidish,

Unitonically, they actually use it to various degrees of success in a clinical setting.

You can finish the game by hitting a memory overflow bug very far in the game under specific conditions. Just look up finishing Tetris…

null,

In the NES version, yeah

YiddishMcSquidish,

Yeah people act like the grand master edition doesn’t have a following or a credits bonus level.

False. I’ve won, you just need to be good enough to become a Tetris Master. Keep practicing! ;)

YiddishMcSquidish,

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.

YiddishMcSquidish,

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!

But you get really good at packing stuff so the skill translates to real life.

Malfeasant,

Whenever I’m packing the car for a trip, I hum the Tetris theme…

HubertManne, do games w One-handed games?

Not really helpful in terms of gifts as they are free to play mmo's and they use keyboard and mice but both have some script capabilities which allow for one to be able to play alternating between keyboard and mouse or not use mouse at all. Its the cryptic games champions online and star trek online. One thing you could do is play them yourself and learn the scripting and then gifting them useful scripts. with champions online turning the block to a toggle is the big script thing and with star trek online its making an emergency power to spacebar one (this is reference to a script where tapping space works through all the abilites put into a shorcut area that can be swapped out). really basic ones will dump everything into spacebar but more nuanced ones will have a key for low cooldown abilities and one for long cooldown offense and long cooldown defense. there really is no limit to the messing around.

Lib boomer meme.

You know the russophobia/anticommunism/fashism 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.

drd,

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.

@proletarians_must_suffer@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, russophobia is when out of 80+ comments no one mentions that author may have implied some bad connotations for Soviet Union. To decrease the amount of anticommunism under this fascist post, everyone repeat after me:

Through days dark and stormy, where great Lenin led us… and I forgot the lyrics.

TIL Tetris is from USSR. Aswell as that the pieces in it are called tetrominos.

sudo,

Did you never play with sound?

can,

Response: What do mean? It plays the Tetris theme.

peteyestee,

That’s the users anthem.

can,

And here I thought I’d be fine not adding “/s”

9bananas,

it’s not the anthem, it’s a popular folk song ;)

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korobeiniki

can,

I thought so.

umbraroze,

The first version I played was the Commodore 64 version by Mirrorsoft, which actually didn’t use the Russian imagery.

The soundtrack was an epic 25 minute synth prog metal odyssey.

Commodore 64 is a very cool computer.

Agent641,

Girl on date: “So, what sort of music do you like?”

Me: “it’s… Complicated.”

ArcaneSlime,

Dude this shit rules, thanks for informing me!

crapwittyname,

I’ve had this song stuck in my head on and off for at least a decade.

Ensign_Crab,

Every time I have to move stuff around in the fridge to get something bulky to fit, I am the man who arranges the blocks.

crapwittyname,

Great. Now you’ve cursed me with this too. That’s twice the amount of time I’ll be humming this bitch.

Ok, real talk, this is how bad it is. Once I changed the words to “maybe we’d be better off, if we ate beef stroganoff”. That day I learned to cook stroganoff for the lulz and my girlfriend is now addicted and I have to cook it twice a month.

I remember that the dev of Legend of Grimrock added an option for movement with the mouse because a disabled gamer wanted to play. Maybe that second friend should check that and the 2nd game out.

Using a mouse with your non dominant hand is annoying…

Yeah, for PC they’ll probably have to grit their teeth and power through the discomfort. An alternative is getting a hand in some old emulated games. Anything from the NES era can be mapped to 4 movements + 4 buttons (start, select, A, B), which on a keyboard could be WASD + Q, E, R and F. Dunno how to set something similar on a Deck.

omarfw, do games w One-handed games?

deep rock survivor is a surprisingly fun and simple game that is designed for one handed play

nyctre, do games w One-handed games?

So left hand only games… driving games should work(enjoying NFS heat, atm), turn based games and isometric RPGs (plenty of those, depends on preferences… Balatro, slay the spire, XCOM, disco Elysium, etc… I could make a list if needed).

Telltale games like the wolf among us and stuff

Vampire survivors and all the similar games (halls of torment, brotato, soulstone survivors, etc)

amoistgrandpa, (edited ) do games w One-handed games?

For the friend who enjoys BG3, you can play Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous pretty much entirely with the mouse. The base game is 90% off on steam right now too.

Pathfinder has a massive learning curve compared to DnD 5e though, but that just means you can get an extra 50 hours of entertainment out of the game before you start the story, just by figuring out all the options when creating your character lol

Edit: whoops, seems like the steam spring sale just ended. The game is still absolutely worth it at full price though

WotR is so fucking good. But a quick PSA for anyone interested: Install the Bubble Buffs mod so you don’t have to spend 5 minutes casting your 37 buffs before every large fight.

I must say, this is an interesting collection of news!

Q: So, using Heroic I could launch Epic games without installing their launcher?

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Yes! That’s exactly how Heroic works!

Check their website if you want to look at the FAQ, its extensive in what it covers there!

But, it definitely bypasses the need for Epic’s launcher. As with Amazon Games titles, and GOG as well! An all-in-one :)

SharkAttak,
@SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org avatar

That's good! (although I shouldn't really try to make my backlog longer than it already is) I asked caused the FAQ wasn't very clear about it.
