you gotta know that doing ZZ is a faster version of :wq!

we've been running linux full-time since 2019!
we've run Arch since around 2020, and have been coasting ever since.
it's really a nice environment for me, and with the new archinstall script being actually taken seriously, i can actually plan out my next install for some time in advance.

after a bunch of playing, i've found the kick that i want added to SRS.
it's like a t-spin triple, but with an S piece try this and it just doesn't work

my god. why even have 2 buttons at that point

Apotris

this is the hot new guidelines-compliant tetris game, coming soon to a homebrew console near you.
it's got tons of training modes, like dig, survival, sprint, finesse training, but it's also got some fun stuff, like big mode, zone mode, combo mode, and a TGM-like master mode.

linux nerd here.
amd_pstate is a whole kernel module, and i'm not quite sure how to get it to do what you're saying i can do with it. what are you talking about with it being an "incantation?"

I haven't played nearly as much TGM as I probably should. There's a somewhat-local arcade near me that has a cab of TGM3 available and I did go through the easy mode on said cab at one point.

I generally tend to be a weirdo who mainly plays a lot of pre-guideline variants, however, Atari Tetris ...

Tetrio with TGM sounds is what I prefer, or just Tetris DS. Or The New Tetris, which is actually amazing. I love the aesthetic of TGM but I don't enjoy trying to learn it, I grew up with infinite spin and such and TGM feels like walking in mud.

have you considered ES-DE? it has some very nice themes by default, and has a bunch of support for metadata that can't be understated, and it has really good shuffle functionality to boot

🔴 ooh, i've tried TGM. not exactly sure the best way to get access to it, but i might pay for the switch version for less hassle. i've been dying for a port of TGM3, though. i'm very much an SRS purist, and i don't like the other rotation systems as much.

we find if/fi a bit annoying to type in shell script conditionals. it's just easier this way, even if it's slightly less readable

we started with splatoon 2, and gods, was it worth every hour.
this game taught us that uni-body gyro controls suck ass, but split-body gyro controls are amazing
if you're right handed, it's basically the same as having keyboard and mouse controls, but on a controller!

kind of surprised this hasn't come up yet.
we are very much tetris perverts.
our favorites are Apotris on consoles, Nullpomino for customizability, and maybe a spot of Jstris or TETR.IO for competitive play.
our grandma loved this series, and we kept that spirit going in the only way we really could ...

I've been using a Raspberry Pi as my daily driver for about, what, maybe 7 years now? So, basically, I've only tried stuff that works natively under 64-bit Linux ARM (i.e. AArch64, deffo not to be confused with Arch Linux). And most of what I have installed can be found via Flathub's games section ...
