Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.

I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

TIL Tetris is from USSR. Aswell as that the pieces in it are called tetrominos.
Did you never play with sound?
Response: What do mean? It plays the Tetris theme.
The first version I played was the Commodore 64 version by Mirrorsoft, which actually didn't use the Russian imagery.
The soundtrack was an epic 25 minute synth prog metal odyssey.
Commodore 64 is a very cool computer.
Girl on date: "So, what sort of music do you like?"
Me: "it's... Complicated."
That's the ussrs anthem.
it's not the anthem, it's a popular folk song ;)

I thought so.
And here I thought I'd be fine not adding "/s"
This was cool as well: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt12758060/
