Irenes (many)@cmconseils for the record, this is untrue. we're a collector and have a paper copy of that manual. they do not have names.
it's funny though :)
Gary Houston@ireneista @cmconseils who knows who to believe any more, the person on the Internet who has a page scan from the manual, or another person with a competing page scan. Wasn't the original game Russian in any case?
@ghouston @cmconseils well, the point of us saying it is that it at least benefits people who know us personally, which is a nontrivial number. it doesn't help anyone beyond that circle very much, as you say.
@ghouston @cmconseils as you may have noticed, the world is descending into disinformation and spam, and it's our firm belief that leveraging social connections is a necessary strategy to fight back against that.
@ghouston @cmconseils that said... we also saw when the original claim was made and it was clearly a joke in that context. it shouldn't be hard for someone to dig that up again.
TillYou could instead just link this page, so people can learn the real names instead.

Tetromino
A tetromino, officially known as a Tetrimino, is a polyomino made of four square blocks. The seven one-sided tetrominoes are I, O, T, S, Z, J, and L. In certain Tetris games, the colors of each tetromino vary. The spelling "tetromino" is standard among mathematicians. The Tetris Company had preferred tetramino around 1999 and has used Tetrimino since 2001. TTC has trademarked the name Tetrimino and uses the initial uppercase T. Each tetromino has a letter name and several alternative names...
@ireneista @cmconseils yes, it has reached the point where any photo, video, recording, document, quotation etc., needs to be linked back to a verifiable reliable source before it can be taken seriously.
@ghouston @cmconseils well, like, that's honestly going too far in the direction of nihilism.... a lot of the purpose of disinformation is to cause people to just give up on the idea of truth, and we do think the typical situation is not nearly that bad
