Truly crushing but there's still work to be done. Hope to update you all shortly16 May 2026 01:26 +0000at://did:plc:xdpsahemy5uooyqd2wcde7bc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlwowpgcts25https://bsky.app/profile/dirksen2la.bsky.social/post/3mknvfoaz5s23Got this while registering a textbook. Reminds me of playing old DOS games, except this time I actually have the manual. Good feeling!29 Apr 2026 20:03 +0000at://did:plc:xdpsahemy5uooyqd2wcde7bc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mknvfoaz5s23https://bsky.app/profile/dirksen2la.bsky.social/post/3mjlo2vvx3c25I have gone on record many times saying it isn't possible to die in Tetris if you simply don't want to. Despite this earning me many a sarcastic rib from friends after failed attempts, I stand by this philosophy. There is always a way out, and if you couldn't find it, you didn't want it enough.16 Apr 2026 05:21 +0000at://did:plc:xdpsahemy5uooyqd2wcde7bc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjlo2vvx3c25https://bsky.app/profile/dirksen2la.bsky.social/post/3mipxecbyvs2hFirst ever sub-9 (Cutoff time for grandmaster is 8:45). This run was nothing special (see: s8) yet also the best I've ever played. Need to play more for tetrises in later sections, I keep getting triples and it's hurting my grade bad05 Apr 2026 04:53 +0000at://did:plc:xdpsahemy5uooyqd2wcde7bc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mipxecbyvs2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/dirksen2la.bsky.social/post/3mh6ojgjyqs2xIn case anyone ever wanted to play The World's Nine Best Games Ever, I've compiled them all into one image.

A game where finding yourself airborne in a firefight leads to certain death, and where your sole movement option is jumping through the air in a straight line.
