    yo… everyone is laughing cause its kind of funny but I had a really intense and traumatic childhood… and I also played a lot of tetris as a kid. Like more than 12 hours a day of it.

    Is that seriously why my trauma didn’t effect me like it would have with other people??

    That’s fucking nuts. Like what.?.

      Sorry to hear about your childhood. Are you one of these superhumans I watch playing Tetris and thinking “how the FUCK can anyone react that quickly?!”. I’m pleased to hear though that you found a way to not be traumatised!

    My mum used to work with criminaly insane people in an asylym. I realize now why she frequently jacked my Gameboy to play Tetris.

      Can I ask what role she did? I read a book last year called ‘The Devil You Know - Tales of Forensic Psychiatry’. It was very illuminating and interesting, each chapter a different (anonymised) story of one of her patients. Especially her ‘bike lock’ theory of why some people can commit such horrific crimes.

    After reading this I thought there must be a nice and simple Tetris game in the play store. Boy was I wrong. I think some guy has a “block puzzle” empire and has just rereleased the same tetris clone game a hundred times. And official Tetris is a total abomination of unlocks and achievements.

    Bummer.
