Realised it this morning
i only get squares, it’s super easy
In boring meetings, I play Arkanoid with things around me.
I can certainly play the Tetris theme in my head!
On long car rides, I would play mental Mario with the telephone poles and houses.
I still catch myself doing this on occasion!!
I’m not very good, I forgot to clear a line I filled.
Im too stupid to remember the tiles I just placed
Unless you have aphantasia. People with aphantasia are unable to mentally visualize. I close my eyes and it’s just blackness all the time.
Aphantasia is very intriguing for me. Everytime I try to think about it, I just can’t picture it.
I can’t visualize a tetris block, much less a whole tetris game. I think I could draw all the tetris blocks if I tried so the information is there, just not stored as jpg. More like a zipped text file.
Yeah I have the same thing. I can sort of visualize the concept, like foggy still images of tetris games I’ve played but I cannot imagine a game setup where a piece would fall and complete a line. That is too specific. I can just do like general concepts, not specifics.
My favorite tetris fact is that it may help with PTSD flashbacks. Link for the curious.
My brain would always just give me the shape I need to clear the line
Why is it always squares and straight lines?!
You don’t even know my real name

You re blessed, because i am bound to deal with whatever random BS is announced next. I ll take a call with developer
Horizontal I block all the way to the left… horizontal I block next to the previous one… square block on the right.
horizontal I block on the left and horizontal I block next to that.
voila, all clear. Now repeat.
Aphantasia gang takes offense to this
I do it very often and I suck
Yeah I didn’t go beyond 2 fulls lines
I did it often when I was really into it. I had Tetris dreams, it honestly was cool.
This phenomenon is literally called the tetris effect haha
Also, the title of one of the best Tetris games released ever. The visual and musical artistry in that game is astounding.
