I wish I knew who created this - I've tried to find out but it seems like this gif gets passed around a lot (and since it's a gif I dont think reverse image lookups work)

@JenMsft @sigh_d

Ah, someone beat me to a better source. Sam Omo appears to make them too show off his design company Downsign. I am actually surprised that the primary source came up so quickly for a gif. I just took a screenshot of the first frame and it came up immediately on Bing images

@roipoussiere According to giphy it seems to be someone named Sam Ono that created it

@JenMsft As opposed to the other way, where you start with a block of pixels and knock them out with a ball...

@sbisson
For some reason I started hearing Wii sports sounds when I read this.
@JenMsft

@JenMsft If you didn't try and scan it you have failed.

@JenMsft

Can confirm.

This is why it takes me so long to add new books to Scarlet Ferret. The QR Code link to read the sample takes me weeks!

@JenMsft Honestly that's a cool idea for starting trash in Tetris.

@JenMsft What's also funny is, this is like the worst game of Tetris ever played

@JenMsft good to know that every time i'm scanning a QR code it's someone's elaborate Fuck Up

@JenMsft That's a killer idea right there for some indie developer :)

Build your own QR code with a game like that... And then surf it to see where it takes you or what message it decodes :)

@JenMsft

Would make for an interesting game. Can you make a valid QR code? 😉🤷‍♂️

@JenMsft anyone else playing the a-type music in their head while watching this? can't be the only one, can I? :D

@JenMsft Huh, and here I thought it was when a mommy barcode and a daddy barcode love each other very much, but were taking acid at the time.

@JenMsft how fool I am to have believed it was generated by a Conway's game of life pattern.

@JenMsft I'm DYING to clear that board. I know I could do it. Been training on Tetris my whole life for this moment!

@JenMsft But pieces keep disappearing, so it's reminding me more of Attitude Problem Tetris. ("You meant to do that, right?")

@JenMsft That's why they never show solid lines ;)

@JenMsft i was hoping there'd be enough data to read :P

@JenMsft Well give away all our secrets, why don’t cha? :)

@JenMsft I didn't just watch this for too many cycles without realising. Nope, not me. 😂

@JenMsft This made me laugh WAY too hard.

@JenMsft that looks like a tremendous amount of work to make one. I almost feel bad now for never scanning them

@JenMsft this is why you never see a fully black horizontal row in QR codes, I had no idea!
