TETRIS HISTORY- WHO WAS INVOLVED? (MAIN PEOPLE) 

TETRIS HISTORY- WHO'S WHO LIST

Before Tetris became a global gaming hit, it was at the centre of business battles between Western corporations and Soviet bureauracies. These are the men who fought at the frontline...

☻ Alexey Pajitnov
Invents Tetris in 1985 while working at the Moscow Academy of Science's Computer Centre. Alexey moved to the USA to work for Microsoft after the success of Tetris.

☻ Evgeni Nikolaevich Belikov
Head of Elorg, the Russian ministry for import and export of software and hardware. Belikov is the man with whom all negotiations about Tetris had to be done.

☻ Robert Stein
President of British software house Andromeda. Sells Tetris rights to Robert Maxwell’s Mirrorsoft UK and US affiliate Spectrum Holobyte before he’s negotiated anything concrete with the Russians.

☻ Kevin Maxwell
Son of Robert Maxwell and head of Mirrorsoft UK. Buys all Tetris rights (except arcade and hand-held) from Stein not knowing that Stein has no formal contract with the Russians.

☻ Henk Rogers
American entrepreneur and video games enthusiast. Nintendo employs Rogers to get the hand-held Tetris rights to support the launch of Game Boy.

Free is good, Free + participation is better... 

'Free' of cost can also not be developed enough towards people participating in growing the mentality of whatever it is given free to people (so free+participation is more ideal here towards growing anything which is towards overall freedom or low cost mentality as part of freedom).

This is a subtle but MASSIVE difference - because when you can *allow* people easier routes to participate *with* you (almost anyhow) then you can grow a whole new stem rather than just gifting others more one-way and almost narrow-minded.

Participation (and the receiving) helps people keep *everyone* in the picture more and get better almost as a cycle in itself.

That overall cycle is formidable when many people go to it or do something. It can be very underrated as way of connecting and pumping people through it all.

Classic war games turned into everyday smaller war games... 

There's a more classic meaning to war and that is easy to see, but it could be transmitted in everything (imagine you have bad parents that could manipulate everything even if it seemed ok)

war...fighting...life... is quite natural but perhaps now more moving into the mind and fighting there FIRST!

Even the good people I've tested their limits so I know it's not easy (and family forget it! Or make plans and move on)

Life yes can be defined as fighting somewhat and where it goes wrong where physically some use to define themselves (as bullies and they know it!)

and it even by how much your or others allow you to live under them (especially without care in every step or seeing near 0 transparently)

so...
fighting = war (including softer types if you're a professional bastard or just governments want total control right, can't let it slip otherwise all will expose that gap)

Soft-war exist and it's just soft on our side, money etc still is there being pumped... but it takes more to see / feel playing online games..

People can't see that as it's a longer chain of finance or war.
Some that are uncomfortable with war but ok playing it for hours.

It's confusing perhaps but all 1 reality I feel (and more than ever just 1 person doing the bad work or owning everything and send commands like it was a game to them!).

The moral battles is with you playing these games

Are you playing too many games avoiding the real games to be solved... (in the mind first...?)

Human Control- "Followers and Food" #video #clip... 

@bonifartius @roboneko "Followers and Food"


Humans preying on other humans basically as their main focus - rather than focussing on cultivating planet more neutrally or growing food more personally for the greater good literally giving-it-to-the-next generation and passing it on as caretakers)...

A well suited clip that must have happened literally over and over in history, almost as many powerful people that has come and gone over the centuries (and still going on), perhaps simply as a very human imperfection that we have to counter somehow to get people to follow... but not follow... muhahah...

UNFAIR ALGORITHMS (IN GAMES AND REAL LIFE!) 

UNFAIR ALGORITHMS
(IN GAMES AND REAL LIFE!)

- PART 1

Oh the realisation having played all these unfair games and I DON'T MEAN HARD, I MEAN PROPORTIONATELY CHEATING ACCORDING TO MY WINNING!!

Sad reality. Unacceptable.
Bit like banking making debt and calling it 'money'.

Mario Kart I realise is my skill but powerups and other things proportionately not in my control... so love the game but leave it. I think overall I realised games are manipulation also!!

I remember many times I didn't do much wrong but came last or 'suddenly' taken out in a combo or even thought I saw a blatant dodge by computer players (hard to say without seeing code right?). Definitely something 🐟

(check my next post for recorded cheating by CPU!!!)

Kind of sad - I think I realised a few times but couldn't name it... so I won simply by brute-forcing my time in order to win against by chances hoping the code would 'let me win' like a gambling machine... just to win an unfair game. Eh I guess it's a game but imagine unfair carnival games that kids pay for and adults!

CARNIVAL CHEATS (REAL LIFE!)
yewtu.be/watch?v=tk_ZlWJ3qJI

yewtu.be/watch?v=iyG0p3iK3IA

People probably took this and applied it to life. Wouldn't be surprised at all - it's the 90's remember so not surprising if more modern people realised they can make things look fair and for people to try endlessly while paying too!!
airline tickets etc do same thing more you look at it or more you go to another partner site... dirty tricks, money involved not just mario coins!)
Even supermarkets can see when you buy 10 to up the price the next day...

Imagine how advanced these games were and clever to make it hard the closer to 1st place you were and effectively a way of knocking you down to replay the game! Knock down your skill with the other CPU players who are able to gang up and shoot more effective things at you, at the same time as you have less effective defensive shells...

Other games welcome - here's my list of cheaters for now:

Mario Kart
Street Fighter (computer does moves quicker like Flashkick by not charging the move at all - how cheap / underhand!)

Question: What to do with old 48x CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM drive at end of life?... 

● Question: What to do with old 48x CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM drive at end of life?

Imagine it's dead (which it isn't just keep making slipped disc noises)

It's quite heavy like literally A BRICK to use the mobile phrase but this has the dimension of real ■brick■ too !

Not sure if I'd even want to attempt fix
...could be belt drive and anyway sometimes newer is best for these things right? (Not to end with scratched discs? laser gives after a while? )

GAMES CHEATING!
...UNFAIR CPU AND ALGORITHMS

NO WONDER CAPITALISM COPIED WHAT LOOKS FAIR BUT ISN'T! CHECK THIS VIDEO FROM BACK IN 90'S STILL SEEN IN THE EMULATED VERSION TODAY!

Guile from SF2 needs about 2 seconds to charge down to do this FLASHKICK move (so walking back or while standing can't happen unless *maybe* in a combo or 'charging' the move in some other way- standing up or walking back cancels the charge.. at least for human players!!!!!! )

Hard to catch cheats, that's why you need to see the code... Anyone got the Street Fighter code?

UNFAIR CPU and ALGORITHMS

After 12 years, he did it again and built a cool chiptune machine, this time from 2 C64's. It's called the Commodorion !

This is is the original Chipophone (built into old electronic organ)

MY COMMENTS:

- Those keys somehow are made from the same plastics that accordion keys were made from way back in the day (you can hear and see how the chunky keys work and will stay working for generations to come!! Everlasting!)

SOUND LOOP / MUSIC SAMPLE

"THEIR NOT ALIGNED"

EXTRA INFO
Represents that paradox of the word 'aligned' or alignment
So a bit of a paradox is when in the natural and human world it's important for everyone to have 1 unity or accept others being diverse in many ways, but without alignment in mind or other senses of the word everything is usually messed up without it being 'uniform' or made standard somewhat...

Feelings go with this same that there is this physical take on being aligned by both positive and negative parts to the human sides of being aligned...

It's supposed to send a message in an original way keeping you on your toes a bit with the slightly skipping music and mixed messages. Anything on that welcome or any potential you see do let me know.
