I enjoyed playing Linex! It reminds me of doing perfect clear solves in Tetris, but without the stress :) I appreciate the skip, next, and hole-fill power ups.
If you don't mind me asking, how are you doing piece generation? Is it random%7, drawing from a bag, or something else?
On the topic of reflexes decaying (I'm getting there, in my late 30s): Have you played Stackflow? It's a number go up roguelite disguised as an arcade brick stacking game, but the gravity is low enough that it is effectively turn based. More about 'deck' building, less about chaining PCs and C-Spins.
Very cool! I am a good Tetris player (in the top 10% of players) and wanted to give brick yeeting against an LLM a spin.
Some feedback:
- Knowing the scoring system is helpful when going 1v1 high score
- Use a different randomization system, I kept getting starved for pieces like I. True random is fine, throwing a copy of every piece into a bag and then drawing them one by one is better (7 bag), nearly random with some lookbehind to prevent getting a string of ZSZS is solid, too (TGM randomizer)
That was true a few years ago. The next few years are here :) take another look, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
E: that sounded like snark, definitely not the intention, Ableton supports MPE now and they were lagging behind. Roger Linn keeps a list of MPE/MIDI2 compatible software and hardware, every time I revisit it, the list has grow : https://www.rogerlinndesign.com/support/support-linnstrument...
I'm a bit scared of this. There are so many horror stories out there to the tune of, "Google banned my account, now I can't get into anything, and there's zero ways for me to get in touch with a human to talk about any avenues to fix it." and then extrapolating that to government.
Ruby has definitely helped me get through some rough and tight spots. So many things are easily able to bum me out, while Ruby goes out of its way to make me happy.

A beloved safety blanket that makes it easy and fun to do boring everyday tasks.
Not very good keyboard player here: higher than ~~8ms is annoying for playing/recording. But 50ms probably isn't bad if say, you're blasting a message through a factory intercom, or piping music through a dental office, or stuff like that.
> It's becoming more common to not ever SSH into machines
This is a reality for me. At work we run a handful of distributed clusters, if anyone does an equivalent of sshing into a box and poking around (in our case, `kubectl exec`), the infrastructure team gets an alert, then follows up with whoever invoked the command. If they are doing debugging, we shift whatever resources they need into dev. If they are not debugging, they will probably get questioned by their boss. (fortunately, most of the time this chat results in, "oh wow I didn't know about the APM/Metrics/Graphs/Logs/etc setup we had, I'll check that next time)
