Does this effect last after they stop playing tetris, or just while they play? I know when I played tetris a lot, my brain seemed to be stuck on it in a way. I would close my eyes and almost see tetris shapes. I'd have dreams about it. And I would kind of see various problems through a tetris lens, so to speak.
I wonder if that phenomenon is what is going on here. Your brain uses slightly different pathways that are tetris influenced and have lower risk of jumping into the PTSD paths.
I wonder if that lasts after they stop playing and their brain reverts to non-tetris influenced ways of thinking.
- pcardoso 2y agoKind of related, the days when I pick weeds from my lawn I’ll see the weeds for hours when I close my eyes or even just flashes with my eyes open. I guess the weed picking activity stresses my pattern recognition and it continues working afterwards. Very trippy, at least for regular garden weeds.
- alexdong 2y agoThis is totally a thing. I think it also strengthens the neural pathway so that <speculation>when the next time you face the many options, the weight would be just slightly higher</>. (I am assuming human brain works similar to how neural net works. I can be wrong here. )

- cryptoz 2y agoThe only time I've ever lucid dreamed was when I played an obscene amount of tetris, and I could actually play games in my sleep. Like games that followed the rules, falling pieces randomy, I could rotate them, lines would disappear, the whole thing. It was really really wild.
