Is The Tetris Company going to celebrate what should be "Tetris Month"?

In February 2026, the four weeks are lined up perfectly as four lines - which is exactly what a Tetris is!

The last time this happened was in 2015, and the next two times will be in 2037 and 2043.

I donated to the Kickstarter for this 15 years ago
Was wondering if it would ever happen

EA just open sourced Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Renegade and Generals
I can't quite believe it either. Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Command & Conquer Renegade and Command & Conquer Generals (inc. Zero Hour) have their code officially open sourced.

I'm not a big Kendrick Lamar fan, and thought his Superbowl half time performance was just fine, but I will say this - it's stayed with me longer than any other performance I've seen

The response to today's new show has been really heartening - thank you all so much 🙏

I'm not posting to the birdsite anymore and my Insta etc is... light, but anyone who DOES want to share widely it's welcome and encouraged 😁👍
