Actually, tetris is really a commentary about the brief and fragile ethnostate in Constantinople as the Byzantine empire fell to the Ottoman empire.

Good to see my sixth sense tuned to useless bullshit is still working. I knew some joker was gonna call me out on Tetris 🤣

I just couldn't let the original commentor get away with saying the most ridiculous shit in this thread, I had to top them.

Yeah, people not getting that is a prime example of the sad state of contemporary media literacy.

Istanbul was Constantinople now it's Istanbul not Constantinople​ been a long time gone, Constantinople and a Turkish delight on a moonlit night. Every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul not Constantinople​ so if you have a date in Constantinople she'll be waiting in Istanbul. Even old New York was once New Amsterdam, why they changed it i can't say, people just liked it better that way... So take me back to Constantinople no you can't go back to Constantinople cause it's Istanbul not Constantinople been a long time gone, Constantinople why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks... Dodo do do do de do do do do aaaaaaa whaaaaa (I'm just going to stop here)

Ok it's from memory don't sue me if I fucked it up.
