  "Mega Godzilla Beast VM" is a great product name!

  As a counter point, a friend sent me Doom on 896 cores. https://twitter.com/AnonOpsSE/status/1284210365082079232 https://twitter.com/AnonOpsSE/status/1284210365082079232

    I remember that one coming out, and the consensus was that it was fake [0]. The Tetris one seems more realistic.

  My only note on this is that this is not a regulation tetris board: it is 13 tiles wide, Tetris boards are 10 tiles wide. Not suitable for tournament play!

    Also, that Z drop after the L hurts. Should clearly have rotated it :)

      Yes! Drove me nuts!

  I can't quite articulate why, but this reminds me of cryptocurrency.
