the only odd thing about it was the ban wave happened way-after-the-fact when the thread had mostly chilled out after being warned--- i say that but there was one person that thought posting miku bound in a trunk would be a good idea and hopefully they also got smacked

some of those people i guess wont be back for the next GDQ because permas were handed out. so the next thread should be way better by default. but it did lead to a lot of discussion from people who were like "i like to chill chat but i also like to actually chat and not just post images and emptyquote nonstop"

i mean theres a thread for that already and its in adtrw (im exaggerating)

Is there a pattern to the blocks Tetris gives you or is it all random?

Jan 10, 2015

it hasn't really been random since the very first versions. it's weighted to give you pieces you haven't gotten recently, and there's probably some other math behind it

Different games have different rulesets but the Tetris Guidelines mandate an equal distribution of 7-bag permutations.

T99 is made by Arika so it might be using some variant of the TGM randomizer or possibly the Random Generator

Edit: Upon closer inspection Arika has indeed conformed to the Tetris Guideline and so it's using the Random Generator

Yeah this. You will see a piece twice every 14 pieces minimum. the furthest that pair can be apart is if the first was 1 of 7 in bag 1 and the second was 7 of 7 in bag 2

What was the point of people paying more to get to play Anthem early if the experience is going to be better with the patch released the day it's available to everyone?

And by that I mean what did the people paying get out of it not...not the whole pay to play early scheme point I know the point of that it was to get more dollars.

I'd get that if this were an established franchise and you're like one of those YouTube channels that puts out "EVERY BOSS FIGHT" videos that spoil everything for people the day the game comes out like you're getting a jump on something with an already built-in fandom.

Hell it'd make sense if it were a Mass Effect game because then you could be the first to put out a dumb "EVERY ROMANCE SCENE!" video.

People get hyped to play a new game. First it's from BioWare. Second, it's a loot & shoot and those tend to build up a little more hype I feel. Maybe not.

is it worth it to buy a switch so that i can play tetris 99? i might also use it for bathroom tetris 99

If that's what it takes. You could probably just get a calculator, LED watch, or a litebrite that plays tetris.

no but what kind of games do you like? there's probably at least one other game on the switch you'd be into

it's also a game that requires nintendo's extremely bare bones online subscription. the price of it is cheap but you get what you pay for. aka, cloud saves, barely any games that support online play, a couple dozen emulated NES games, and Tetris 99.. and that's it

i remember when they were talking about how nintendo online would provide extra rewards/coupons and stuff and, well.. i guess that was literally just a literal lie 'cause they aint done that

Every console online service is a scam so at least they were sensible about the price. And I've played more NES games than PS+ Freebies already
