What's your highest score (and preferred version) of Tetris? And if you have one, your best time (and difficulty) of Minesweeper

Mild Tetris infodumping time!! :D

TL;DR: I prefer TETR.IO, where my sprint PB is 25.612 (811th global as of writing), Blitz PB is ~435K (not top 1K also just a lot of SDPC looping). I also do not have any best times in minesweeper (yet :3)

ngl i'm realizing most of what I put here is unrelated to the ask but uh um uh

The vast majority of the time, I am playing either on Jstris or TETR.IO. Both of which aren't technically "Tetris" and are unofficial browser-based clients.

Within both of these I normally only play sprint / 40 Lines (very self-explanatory, clear 40 lines as fast as possible). Most of the time I'll just constantly play sprint without really thinking about it while I listen to a YouTube video or go through an album or smth. Unfortunately tetrio doesn't keep track of my total completed sprints but jstris does, and the number has climbed to be just a little high (3,148 as of right now). There are also other modes but they range from slightly to vastly less popular and I've played 40L by far the most sooooooo-

My PB is 25.465 seconds which is very good according to this graph :3

(Jayson is my other name ignore that part)

Also also also fun story my PBs in 3 of the 4 sprint categories on jstris I got within a few hours (I got a 100L pb on that day but improved it later 😔)

Also this is even more unrelated but I feel like mentioning; tetrio and jstris play largely similarly but with minor differences to DAS and finesse but I've had someone try to die on the hill that tetrio finesse is better which is rather silly of them in my imo

uh um there is Blitz mode on tetrio which i don't play often cause it requires too much mental attention and also a lil bit of luck and also also lots of SDPC DPC looping which is really cool and satisfying but also ngl kinda lame but

(replayed at 2x speed cause 2 minutes is a long time)

Occasionally, I play the default mode on Tetris.com. This is an offical client and generally far more popular. Unfortunately I don't have my high scores saved cause i just switched to a new PC build but my best is around ~700K. I pulled it up while writing since it's been a while and did pretty decent but I really struggle with instadrop gravity

Also worth noting is Tetris 99 since it's what got me into tetis in the first place. I have ~700 hours according to my Switch profile and played around 3,000 games (mostly in 2020). Not really much of highscore to point at with this one except one time I won 10 games in a row which is neat.

(I couldn't find the screencap from the 10 games in a row bit but I did find this which is way funnier)

nowadays I absolutely can not be bothered to play this game cause I've gotten to a point where it is boring and slow and uninteresting and if i want to play a long stressful multiplayer tetis i will go to Tetra-League instead.

I played a bit of PPT and PPT2 but never really got into it, I think my highest rating was around 11 or 12K on PPT.

also I've recently tried playing the mobile app and it is awful and frustrating and terrible and bad and lags a whole lot. my highscore there is like 1.3 million which would've put me far and away in first place in my city, but for some reason it decided that I lived in New Jersey that day so instead I was like 30th.

I got into NEStris at one point and I'm pretty sure my best was a little over 300k but i never put that much practice into it.

most of this was entirely unrelated to the ask but I really felt like ranting :3

I made a short beginners guide to building t-spins! This is what Ive learned/practiced recently and has been working for me.

Vamos a estar jugando tetris CCC:

[screw-fandom-urls-anyway]

Fuckin' hell. Not even 2 minutes after getting a Jstris account and I've already fucked up a C-spin.

[salad-juice-enjoyer]

For got to post it here but I finally managed to complete a 100 line cheese race in Jstris \o/

[ashtonisvibing]

39min tetris game wowowow!!!

[thedudeofguy]

john. john look at me

[xaviaaaaaaaaa]

it's me i'll kiss anyone who is cool and good at tetris i love tetis

[bigfuckinnerd]

hiya! jade strider here. i was gonna dm but i get nervy with doing that, so i hope you don’t mind my ask(s). im kin myself, but im guessing you figured i was lol.

is anything in particular i could share? i don’t wanna butt in or something ^^;;

It's cool. I get DM nerves. it's a bit more personal.

I never met my Jade. It's probably best if you start by telling me a bit about yourself. From what I've heard from you, you seem sweet.

-JStri 💥

[acesammy]

YES. i always played the black and white/old gray tetris on there. so good

YESSSS. THAT VERSION WAS SO COOL

man, i miss it so much. like jstris is ok for pvp and tetris.com is fine for survival, but tetrisfriends had all the best versions. And then it had things like cheese race which i just havent found a good replacement for :((

Plus it was so much Better in general bc of the ranking system. If you were playing any of the pvp games, you were playing people or computers at roughly your own skill level so it was actually a game. Jstris and even stuff like tetris 99 is harder to break into bc you get smoked by some real pros right out of the gate

i'm thinkimg about tetis now so here's a gif of my jstris PB before i go to bed hehehhe :3

Enigma do Medo ARG Updates Part 2

Making a new post because Part 1 is already quite long!

So last we left off with the updates, we had some letters found in the maze: I, O, T, J, L, S and Z, all with accompanying phrases.

Now, taking these letters and the phrases that go with them, we can put them into alphabetical order and get some numbers:

I - Estou me sentindo afOITO L - SE TE falarem onde os outros estão me avisa O - OI, TO procurando os outros também T - Só sobraram nós DOIS nessa sala Z - Além de mim só vejo mais CINCO

Excluding J and S, as there's no number elements to those phrases, this gets us 87825. Because these are all tetriminoes, the discord went to Jstris (a Tetris site; also likely what JS is referencing) and used the number there to get to this map: https://jstris.jezevec10.com/map/87825. The map was created by v1s_un1ta_f0rt10r, that same username that's been used throughout the ARG. This part was discovered by Anubis again!

Using the path provided by the map, we got to a new section of the maze, with the letters "BMRPHWA" written in the middle. Decoding this with a Shift cipher got the word "DESTINO."

Entering "destino" upon getting to the locked gate on the first page of the maze transformed it into text reading "42.LOG."

Going to https://d4ylightd3mon.com.br/42.log then takes us to a page that shows a chat conversation between two people, d4ylightd3mon (the name of the site) and g_matrix, talking about an encrypted file-- they provide the site https://oth3r.site/sinistro.png.

That site is another Mega link, which gives us this image, titled "sinistro.png." The image looks to be more art of the game, with striations across it. According to the chat conversation on the page that led to it, the cipher is something complicated and very difficult. Looking forward to seeing how it's solved!!!

My new goal is to beat 41 seconds in intermediate (Or at least get sub 1 minute) :333

I'm definitely very far from getting an intermediate time like that (~100 seconds off), but maybe in a year and a half I'll have a sub 40 :3. Though I do worry I lack the necessary precision with a mouse.

When I started playing Tetris sprints it was actually because I talked to someone who already had a really good 40L time and wanted to impress them lol. At that point, I think I was at like 80 seconds and their PB was 31 seconds. Very lofty goal (I think that would've been top 1% global at the time) but a year and a half of very consistent play later I had surpassed it :D.

If you are to try Tetris my biggest piece of advice would be to take care of your hands and arms by not going at it too hard, something which I am very bad at.

What are your minesweeper PBs (I will immediately set them as a goal to beat :3 )

To get the exact stats (aside from general times), I'd have to check arbiter, and I'm in bed rn to avoid the cold, so I'll nab that if you want in the morning.

You've already beat me on beginner though hun, I've never gotten an instant start like that. Roughly though,

Beginner: 7 sec

Intermediate: 41 sec

Expert: 92 sec

I've only really recently passed that sub100 benchmark, and I definitely don't average that, though. My average for expert is more around 110, roughly, I think. Just a week or so ago, I got in the zone, and with a good bit of luck, I got a good time, which I have not been able to replicate yet. I'm thinking of trying No-Flagging soon, though, and that'll take some getting used to.

Now I feel like I gotta reach for your tetris PBs too hun, but I think you'd probably win that race <- I'm a filthy casual player

hello RPC i have more of these doodle commissions open!

they're on a PWYW scale from $10 (the really basic ones like jstri or jill) - $25 (more detailed like inezra and bottom right) they are limited palette so please don't expect color accuracy!

completion is estimated 2-3 weeks, but they'll be done between bigger projects so its harder to estimate. but they will be completed by end of october

DM me here if interested! i take payment beforehand in USD through paypal

What’s your favorite Tetris game?

hard to pick one favourite, so I'll list a bunch!

tetr.io is free browser game and has very good ranked matchmaking (based off of glicko-2)

jstris also a free browser game, has a lot of good singleplayer modes and casual live rooms

tetris effect has excellent vibes and music and kirbtrises, and also a NES tetris vs mode

puyo puyo tetris has lots of fun characters and a story mode and ally and rafisol

tetris 99 fun and casual and lots of different skins/osts

tetra legends is also free browser game, neat music, and a NES tetris mode too (retro -> console)

a few other fun facts!

the creator of tetr.io, osk, created the game when he was 19

osk's username is derived from osaka, from azumanga daioh

there's a really cute vocaloid style jstris cup song created by lozofan

greentea, a top tetris player who placed top 4 in the 2018 classic tetris world championship, was later scouted and became lead multiplayer game designer for tetris effect

kirby703 was the first person to achieve a 21-line zone in tetris effect, which was unexpected by the game devs because the game board is only 20 lines tall. in honour of this, the devs renamed the in-game text for a 21-line zone to "kirbtris"
