Unrelated.....maybe you should try gaming. I suggest tetris. See, these little blocks fall, and you need to place them in lines, to get them to disappear. But if you can't, and the block of blocks gets too high, it's game over.

It's a pretty good analogy for life. Your responsibilities pile up, and then one day it all gets overwhelming and you lose control of your life.

The downvotes and reply of someone saying they're blocking you leads me to believe nobody looked at the username of the person you replied to. 🤦‍♂️

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The falling-block video game Tetris has met its match in 13-year-old Willis Gibson, who has become the first player to officially “beat” the original Nintendo version of the game — by breaking it.

Technically, Willis — aka “blue scuti” in the gaming world — made it to what gamers call a “kill screen,” a point where the Tetris code glitches, crashing the game. That might not sound like much of a victory to anyone thinking that only high scores count, but it’s a highly coveted achievement in the world of video games, where records involve pushing hardware and software to their limits. And beyond.

I was wondering what age the kid was when he beat it because it would have to be young to have the quick ass reflexes to beat that shit
