@cmconseils Tell me you've never actually known a software developer without telling me you've never actually known a software developer.

@cmconseils for the record, this is untrue. we're a collector and have a paper copy of that manual. they do not have names.
it's funny though :)
@ireneista @cmconseils who knows who to believe any more, the person on the Internet who has a page scan from the manual, or another person with a competing page scan. Wasn't the original game Russian in any case?
-
If the blocks were named, wouldn't Alexey Pazhitnov, the Russian who wrote Tetris in Russia, have named them "Dmitri", or "Boris and Natasha" etc.?
@isol @cmconseils Yeah, it's not just untrue it's also wrong that if they would have names they would be American. Makes no sense to me.

@ghouston @cmconseils well, the point of us saying it is that it at least benefits people who know us personally, which is a nontrivial number. it doesn't help anyone beyond that circle very much, as you say.

@ghouston @cmconseils as you may have noticed, the world is descending into disinformation and spam, and it's our firm belief that leveraging social connections is a necessary strategy to fight back against that.

@ghouston @cmconseils that said... we also saw when the original claim was made and it was clearly a joke in that context. it shouldn't be hard for someone to dig that up again.

@ireneista @cmconseils yes, it has reached the point where any photo, video, recording, document, quotation etc., needs to be linked back to a verifiable reliable source before it can be taken seriously.

@ghouston @cmconseils well, like, that's honestly going too far in the direction of nihilism.... a lot of the purpose of disinformation is to cause people to just give up on the idea of truth, and we do think the typical situation is not nearly that bad

Sorry if all my memes are not 100% accurate
i do what I can, man.@cmconseils
Damn it I was going to turn this into a trivia night question -
@pathunstrom @cmconseils we've been meaning to make a short video of us flipping through our copy, but since we don't use a smartphone we also don't have an easy way to do that
@pathunstrom @cmconseils @ireneista ah, that's so smart that you don't use a smartphone

@jawnsy @pathunstrom @cmconseils well it's just the privacy implications bother us, really

@cmconseils I couldn't even tell if you were wrong, this one is tough to verify or falsify because there were like, 5 different "original" versions of Tetris.
Did they mean the PC version? Between NA and EU there were two different distributors who each made their own version, not counting the original Russian freeware version.
The "original" Nintendo version? There are three of those. One Nintendo made for the NES console, one for the GameBoy, and an unlicensed NES version made by Atari that had to be recalled over a rights dispute.
Did *any one* of those releases have a manual that gave names to the blocks? I don't know! Maybe?! 😂
@ceremus I played it on a Sunday Sparc workstation so even more variants. @cmconseils

Okay, now I'm actually a bit proud of myself for quickly questioning the validity and then zooming in to see that it's definitely a manipulated image. It did make me laugh a bit, though. -

@ghouston @ireneista @cmconseils This is an ancient meme, not an actual scan of the manual. The tetrominoes do not have names in either English or Russian.

@PavelASamsonov @ireneista @cmconseils Tetrominoes! Who needs names when you have a term like that.

@ghouston @PavelASamsonov @cmconseils okay, now this is one we have personal feelings about. back in our day they were called "tetrads"! :D
