I was having input lag issues when playing, things wouldn't fall at all where i wanted them to.

Browser: Brave Browser 96.1.33.106 OS/Kernel: Linux hostname 5.10.88 #1-NixOS SMP Wed Dec 22 08:31:00 UTC 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux CPU/iGPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz

Neither of these are particularly weird specs for using the web.

Are there people using bots to play this? I played in one of the 100 player matches and the top players were just ridiculous.

mix of muscle memory, strats and changing default settings (DAS/ARR etc) to allow you to play faster

OMG, this brings back memories. I miss Quinn so much on OS X. With its lovely community I spend endless hours over the years with this addicitive game (play). As cool as Tetr.io is, out of the box it does not compare to the smoothness of the Quinn experience. But maybe there are more tweaks to the game options to come closer to Quinn.

But I will never know as I cannot allow myself to be drawn back into that black hole of Tetris addiction.

This is cool! I'm guessing inspired by Tetris 99 available on Nintendo Switch. Thank you for having an anonymous mode! edit: After playing and watching a bit it's very obvious that if you want to win you'll have to use a bot. A quick google search turns up a a couple pre-made bots you can download and start running yourself. It's fun to see bot vs bot in the multi-player quick play.

They aren't bots, the skill ceiling for Tetris is practically non-existent. The fastest player in the world can clear 40 lines in like 14 seconds I think.

I was playing Quinn a bit a few years ago. Someone brought it up and I found it. It definitely did not run as great as I remembered. Now I don't even think it would run at all...

The players in quick play are absolutely not bots. Botting is the number one way to get yourself permanently banned.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Have you tried the TGM series? https://tetris.wiki/Tetris_The_Grand_Master

While both are Tetris, TGM is very different, and closer to modern Tetris than the NES version. The NES version is much less forgiving when it comes to rotation, locking, random generator, etc... It also has a single preview, no hold piece and no hard drop. At high level, a major challenge is to move pieces fast enough to reach the sides, including a technique called "hypertapping" where you mash buttons extremely qu…

> It also has a single preview, no hold piece and no hard drop.

This is also true for TGM 1, TGM 2 adds sonic drop but still only has 1 preview.

But yeah it was just a suggestion since the TGM series is not as popular as NES or Guideline but offers a very different experience!

I haven't noticed any input lag with my setup: Firefox 95.0.2, Arch Linux with the 5.15.11 kernel, CPU+graphics: 4th gen (Haswell) Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4500U CPU

Perhaps your browser isn't using hardware acceleration properly, or something like that?
