"I need ChatGPT to brainstorm" dear human person the whole point of brainstorming is to find new ways or angles when approaching a problem, the "let's regurgitate the complete stolen corpus of human achievement"-machine doesn't help you brainstorm - it stops you from brainstorming.

As far as I'm aware, there's exactly one engineer at itch and that is leaf, the founder.

a man in a hat and bow tie is saying where is my phone . Alt: animated GIF of Jack Black from Jumanji 2 saying "Where is my phone?"

So I lost my phone at #PGDX day 3.

I managed to get home with help from friends, then traced the phone to a mall near the Expo venue. So I blocked the number and formatted the device remotely.

They can have my phone, but damned if they will take my data.

I can't access FB-related apps, for now.

It's not *just* an age/generation thing

To be fair, the creators seem fairly transparent about their methodology. It's quite rigorous, as far as pop psych fluff goes

It looks like the inclusion of characters/franchises is based on having a large enough pool of peers to provide calibrated metrics

I also realized there were no Pacific Rim characters in the results pool.

Because the scatter graph for my results (compared with Gaius Balthar's) is probably even closer to that *other* science officer who ended up getting corrupted by the malign influence of his extradimensional waifu.

Sample results from the Fictional Characters Quiz:
openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac...

A bit surprised to get Baltar as # 1 match via Pearson correlation. The very 1st Q was "Skeptical vs. Spiritual"; I self-assessed at 66% Skeptical compared to Gaius' 59%, but his probably should be even lower.

Achievement unlocked: kept going on a customer support call during an earthquake (magnitude 4.6 in Quezon City). For context, we're on the 26th floor.

On one hand, it feels lowkey badass to tank like that

But it would be kinda sad to die on the job, for the sake of maintaining shareholder value

A combination chart with the rows named Gear and Slug while the columns are named Metal and Guilty.
Each square represents what game it's from:
Top Left: Metal Gear - Metal Gear Rex
Bottom Left: Metal Slug - one of the characters peers out of a tank holding binoculars
Top Right: Guilty Gear - one fo the game characters holding onto a sword stuck in the ground
Bottom Right: Guilty Slug - A hand drawn slug saying "oh no!"

Haven't watched IBO, but I've always regarded the shifts between the conclusion of Ender's Game and the events of Speaker For The Dead in that way

I've shied away from exploring it more, because I'm reluctant to give OSC's work any further support or attention

Maybe IBO is the alternative I need?

I was quite amused by the pipeline of seeing it go from multi-skeet thread to cohesive newsletter piece, within the span of the same 8-hour time-block I've spent in the office. (I work during Sydney business hours, more or less.)

So I didn't even notice that it was sent a day earlier than expected.

Now that I 've defeated this ancient evil, I'm going to lock it away for all eternity, but for some reason I'm also going to create a clear set of instructions on how to release it and leave said instructions in an easily accessible place
