Happy Holidays / Season's Greetings / Merry Christmas!

Season's Greetings!

Warm holiday wished for a year that ends in joy and peace and a new one that begins with hope and promise (happy new year -- let's hope our 2022 will be better than the last two years in this decade). Darn Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) again! :(.

As for this old insect with a short summary (did mention them in the previous posts this year (and for now on?), it had been crazy again due to BUSY and crazy life with the colony, nest works (too many stuff to do like cleaning, (fix/repair)ing, yardworks, etc. [time to move again?, but prefer into God's house]), health (trying not to get infected from any diseases), exercises like walking a lot more (over two miles nonstop; 6.7 total miles for 12/5/2021 due to yardwork's all day brief walks), spending more time with God, slowly learning and using new stuff, etc. It's like a full-time job (did get a part time contract job in June, but that didn't go well after a week). Also, tired a lot which made this old ant overnap for hours during early night hours and then stay up late during the late night hours like a night owl (OooOoo :O. Example: Yesterday's overnap from 10 PM PST to 2 AM PST, and then a couple sleep sessions for today [4:30 AM PST to 7:45 AM PST (3.25 hours) and 7:50 PM PST to 10:20 PM PST [2.5 hours] = 5.75 total hours). :(

Notes: This holidays 2021 card post's graphic and texts were taken mostly from Hallmark.

Tubetris Deluxe Game = Pipe Dream + Tetris games.

Technostaglic has a HTML5 puzzle game -- "Tubetris Deluxe inherits key features from both the classic row-completing puzzle game, Tetris, and the pipe connecting arcade puzzle game, Pipe Dream.

The gameplay is defined by the characteristic slowly-dropping tetromino-style pieces where each tile consists of a pipe that you have to connect with previously fallen pipe tiles. The motivation to create long interconnected pipe systems through the falling pipe-tetrominoes is driven by the special 'ball' object that you get to choose where to place and roll through the pipe systems that have been placed. The more pipes that the ball is able to come in contact with, the more points you will earn! ...

Thanks Eli the Bearded from rec.games.video.arcade, alt.games.mame, and rec.games.mame newsgroups. Your old school video gamer's first attempt resulted ranking at unlucky (4/four)th place on the scoreboard with 10,170 points at level three/3. That was interesting and hard.
