I liked this but vehemently disagree based on a few of the reasons others have mentioned. I will say my old chess teacher had an excellent quote about life that also applies to Tetris. "There's only ever three moves, a good move, a bad move, and the right move." I still say that to myself all the time when things get hard.
That's an interesting quote. I get it, but I was curious if you had an example of how you've utilized the quote in your life?
That quote has wandered into my mind in innumerable number of situations.
Yeah, I've already heard something like: "Life is just like Tetris: there's no way to win, you can just stay alive for longer or shorter time" I enjoyed the read, thank you.
Depending on the Tetris, you can win it. These guys for example do so (with invisible pieces near the end, no less): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViwDUiCzPVU
