Tetris effect as Psychosis

A man in the netherlands apparently thought he was playing silent hill when he cut the power to a hospital and was found not guilty by insanity. This seems appropriate for the article.

chess's importance

the tetris effect, in the sense of affecting spacial processing, seems to be very prominent in chess, and is arguably one of the earliest examples that are closest to the true tetris effect concept, instead of just afterimages(the world as a grid, objects interacting as in the game). it could probably be referenced more, considering, compared to other examples, it seems to be something a large (or at least similar) proportion of chess players experience in the same way as tetris.[1] [2] and historically:The Royal Game The Defense. im aware The Defense is mentioned in a sentence, but it could be exacerbated, particularly because historical references proves its not a screen thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Ovrtheundr (talk) 01:28, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
