Thanks :)
My mum used to work with criminaly insane people in an asylym. I realize now why she frequently jacked my Gameboy to play Tetris.
Can I ask what role she did? I read a book last year called ‘The Devil You Know - Tales of Forensic Psychiatry’. It was very illuminating and interesting, each chapter a different (anonymised) story of one of her patients. Especially her ‘bike lock’ theory of why some people can commit such horrific crimes.
Uh, I think she was a handler, of sorts. Don’t rightfully know, I just know it was a job with a lot of risks and it was hella stressful. Her workplace had one “inmate” escape and murder a 9-year old one time and that was just, well devastating.
I take my hat off to anyone who does these sorts of jobs, it must be very mentally gruelling.
‘Bike lock’ theory?
She posits that some people have a ‘combination lock’ which, when the right numbers all come up together, pushes them over the line into a horrific violent act.
EG if someone was beaten by their father as a child, go through some trauma as an adult, are under a lot of stress, then some guy in the street who looks a lot like their dad used to starts screaming at him because he bumped into him, then BLAM they’re smashing his face in with a nearby brick before they understand what’s happening.
Whoa shit 😳

I didn’t know Muse did psychological studies. Fascinating!
I mean that’s just a trauma response. Hardly revolutionary. Most people with traumatic experiences have that.

Were you cursed by the Tetris God?
I have never forgotten “LINE PIECE”
College Humour put out so many funny little videos, this is definitely my favourite though. LIIIIINE PIECE! Still makes me laugh after all these years

Or have SDAM and not worry about trama.
Can’t have trauma if you can’t remember you have trauma 😎
The one plus side of me having SDAM haha
I remember a podcast on NPR a few years ago mentioning something similar. The psychologist that was on the show was discussing how doing something that does something that requires your full attention reduces anxiety. It’s interesting to see that this can also be applied to reduce PTSD.
Me after watching family get brutally murdered in front of my very eyes:

On another note, does playing amogus with the boys increase the chances of it becoming PTSD?
I think if you play among us after experiencing extreme trauma, that really is kinda sus
Cramming for a 1600 SAT? Pffff, just grind Tetris for a center 4-wide, get some real work done.
ew c4w certified wumbo moment
real gamers use hachispin
dpc? what’s that
Real gamers play only using Tetrises smh
Is this too do with the focus you get from playing Tetris as well as the Tetris effect that can occur afterwards that’ll keep your brain occupied so you don’t think about the trauma as much?
When you see something traumatic, your brain will over the next few hours create images of the traumatic event. These images will come back to you as flashbacks over the years. Playing a game that requires high focus on visual details prevents the brain from creating those images, and as a result you’ll get less (or not at all) flashbacks after the traumatic event.
This is why after a traumatic event it is advised to do stuff to keep the brain occupied.
It can be Tetris or anything else, anything that can keep the brain busy.
I think you’ve summed it up brilliantly here. I’m sure anyone who’s ever played a game like Tetris a little too long will remember closing their eyes to go to sleep and still seeing tetronimos! So I guess it pushes everything else out of the ‘RAM’ of our visual memory, including the traumatic stuff. No room for this horrid memory, the mind-cupboard is full of tetronimos now
time to put tetris in the mental health folder on my phone
This would have been great to know 3 years ago… ahwell…
Same, but 35 years ago.
What happened?
I get being curious, but different people have different timelines and levels of comfort when processing their trauma.
If they’re ready to discuss and let you know what happened, they’ll offer the amount of information they’re prepared to share. If they don’t offer, then please respect their space.
That’s good advice for real life. But this is the internet. The social consequences for just not answering the dude are zero. It’s not even rude to completely ignore him. The story was teased, almost begging for the question. They may have wanted it asked.
If they want to share, they’ll share. I don’t think they’re going to feel prsssured because the internet asked.
Right? And if they don’t respond, its not like anyone here is gonna fucking hammer them to reply. This thread will die of obscurity like they always do and most people won’t even remember chatting here.
I have C-PTSD and I hate when people try to get all over protective about trauma. People can ask things. Especially if they are brought up.
I can only assume they’re talking about the pandemic when the world experienced some collective trauma. Probably why Animal Crossing was so popular at the time.
You realise that if it’s traumatic to them they might not want to talk about it?
They are the ones tho brought it up, chill
Ok but I wanna hear about it
The internet demands to know…
Same for me except last year. Also probably would have killed time faster in the hospital.
yo… everyone is laughing cause its kind of funny but I had a really intense and traumatic childhood… and I also played a lot of tetris as a kid. Like more than 12 hours a day of it.
Is that seriously why my trauma didn’t effect me like it would have with other people??
That’s fucking nuts. Like what.?.
Glad it worked out for you!
Sorry to hear about your childhood. Are you one of these superhumans I watch playing Tetris and thinking “how the FUCK can anyone react that quickly?!”. I’m pleased to hear though that you found a way to not be traumatised!
yeah I can go pretty fast using the arrow keys on a keyboard. I’m out of practice these days but I use to be that kind of impressive.
Imo it gets impressive really fast if you play on keyboard, that’s what I like about this game: it surprises myself
I too, am shocked at how fast I end up going. I’ve gotten first place a few times in tetris 99 when I really focus.
Dont hesitate to check out four.lol, a very good database of tricks you can use
that site just blew my mind, thank you!!
Ur welcome!
A couple of hours? That’s a lot of fucking Tetris.
Have you played the new Tetris? I sunk quite a bit of time into that. It’s gorgeous, really good music that syncs with your moves.
Tetris Effect? Love it, great in VR too where you are entirely focused, almost transcendent.
That’s the one. Although it’s incredibly pretty I did find it a bit distracting at times, must be intense in VR
lol I use to play like 12+ hours a day
It works by sending you into a catatonic state from sheer boredom
Filthy casual.
lucky us Tetris wasn’t a thing back when Batman was a kid
I’ve actually been playing Tetris non stop since the first Trump mug shot post I saw, my stress level dropped, I almost forgot it… Then I came back and the second post I saw was a Trump mugshot… Back to the drawing board.
Sadly, I think we’re going to see that picture a lot over the years. I hope the next defining image of him features a jumpsuit that matches his spray tan.
the meaning behind the picture will ultimately depend on the verdict. what it shows now is that no one is above the law.
damn too late
