from reddit /TIL: #TIL a family in Georgia claimed to have passed down a song in an unknown language from the time of their enslavement; scientists identified the song as a genuine West African funeral song in the Mende language that had survived multiple transmissions from mother to daughter over multiple centuries

re: video games - Setris

My only criticism of the game is one that I have of many many many tetris clones and variants: there's no delay between when your piece lands and the next one comes out!

This means it's almost impossible to play in the top third of the board, because one tall piece can come out and instantly land, then the next one comes out and instantly lands on top of that one and then it's game over in 3 frames flat.

video games - Setris

Today I have played setris, a really fun tetris spin off game where the blocks are made of sand.
It is so satisfying to watch them crumble to pieces when they land.

The cool twist is that you actually need to get a horizontal line of all one colour in order to clear anything, so it's all about planning out where the sand is going to be and arranging colours to eventually line up

I understand why animals chase their own tail now 😅

I was on VRchat last night and noticed something out of the corner of my eye. When I turned around, it wasn't there. So I kept turning until I realized that I was chasing the tail on my avatar. 🤣

When I worked at a bookstore, I learned that when an author like Dean Koontz signs his books, their resale value goes up.
I also learned that when an author like Stephen King signs Dean Koontz's books, the price goes even higher and that Dean Koontz is not amused by this.
