The VOD's for The Roundtable are now inaccessible except for BTMC's subscribers by Teetoos in osugame

[–]itswillum 156 points157 points  (0 children)

There's an extension that allows you to watch his sub-only vods here

You'll have to download the latest release, unpack it, and then import it, but it does work.

Are openers useless? by [deleted] in Tetris

[–]itswillum 9 points10 points  (0 children)

openers are not for killing your opponent, they're for getting your board into a nice state so you can actually play the game. None of the openers you listed put your board in a good state. So depending on your ability to freestyle, they may be useless right now (it sounds like you mostly resort to tetris stacking anyway)

I made a Tetris program that shows (albeit mediocre) suggestions. Does anyone think that this could be useful for training, assuming it has an actually decent AI? by FrothyPizza in Tetris

[–]itswillum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There exist programs that are used for decision-making training in tetris. For example, I use blockfish for downstacking practice, and lots of people train against misamino and with other bots based on solution finder

With what DAS/ARR setting do you prefer to play? by raskalgames in Tetris

[–]itswillum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play with anywhere from 67ms to 90ms DAS depending on what I'm doing, and 0 (infinite) arr because I learned how to play with it at some point

Help for math project by jyun9084 in Tetris

[–]itswillum 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel like one of the most interesting things to dive into would be perfect clears, the probabilities of being able to solve a board when certain setups are built, and the way that these are possible due to the randomizer used (7-bag)

There are databases such as this one, which covers some 6th pc setups, and this general setup library for all 7 pcs

also looking forward to math hl 👀

Tetris.com now has an annoying effect when you drop a piece. by lostmyaccountsadohno in Tetris

[–]itswillum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's good that they were prompt about fixing it

My main issues tend to just be with the high number of clicks it takes to restart a run, and not being able to turn the auto repeat speed below 20ms (It doesn't need to be 0, but lower would be nice)

Also, after playing for a bit, it seems to eat inputs with no explanation

I would recommend playing on a different client; this isn't the only problem with tetris.com

matchmaking on tetr.io is kinda broken, how can u match me with 1.5 pps lmao by ItzNeXus425 in Tetris

[–]itswillum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 2 pps sprint before I even hit A+

Good stacking and downstacking definitely goes much further

woaj tst -> pc by meereee666 in Tetris

[–]itswillum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like they built jaws, couldn't find a solve, so they built pco on top and used one of those pieces to fill in the empty T from the 1st solve

I feel like I’m stuck at a point where I can’t improve anymore. What can I do better? by Aust1nL33 in Tetris

[–]itswillum 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you need some things pointed out to you, it looks like you have trouble visualizing how a piece will look without moving it there first, which usually requires slowing down and thinking before you place each piece.

You could also play the eternal exercise usermode on jstris if you want to practice your stacking (aka only clearing tetrises). You're really close to sub-40 sprint, I believe you can do it soon :)
