Is there enough crossover between pro wrestling and @thinkygames.com-style deductive mystery? Like Roottrees, but with headlocks + armbars WHO? WHAT? WHY? • Identify the roster of a "forgotten" indie wrestling promotion • ...in order to trace the missing funds from their final show, Bloodbath 2000
mock-up of a wrestling roster with the names blacked out, derived from the ratings page of a 1980s Apter pro wrestling magazine

Feeling a weird survivor's guilt after a recent purge at the day job Why? Clinical enough: headcount in excess of workload What + Who? Seems tranparent. Based on metrics and stacked ranking How + When? Just brutal: Announced last-minute. Rolled out quickly. Amid a national economic crisis. Fuck.

I'm weirdly reassured by the fact that at least one (1) other random Redditor noticed the similarities between The Saja Boys' "Soda Pop" from KPDH and "All 4 Love" by Color Me Badd. Doesn't seem to get mentioned often. Surely I'm not the only Xennial who's picked up on the common vibes?

By any chance, is anyone else using pi.fyi like a de facto Tumblr legacy platform? I just use it as a dumping ground, mostly. Not really socializing, per se. But if you're at least semi-active there, it would be nice to have some moots there. www.pi.fyi/u/paolojcruz

I missed this because of a BIEN (union) meeting but I swear I'll join one of the next ones. It's so ideal: multiple indie TRPGs (Pinoy-made and otherwise) + venue that's walking distance from my house So encouraging to see full tables, even on the same day as a huge D&D event one jeep ride away

This game got me interested in the history of Miami-Dade County (in general) and Coral Gables (specifically). Partly because the City Beautiful movement was influenced by urban designer Daniel Burnham—and therefore the initial city plans for Manila and Baguio, by way of American era colonial policy.

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy
There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a "Congo" or an
"Anaconda" comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. "The Mummy" is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.

"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.

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.

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.
#1 match (86%) - Gaius Baltar - Battlestar Galactica (2004)# 6 match (83%) - Tom Haverford - Parks And Recreation#8 match (83%) - Michael - The Good Place

Applying my (degraded) French knowledge + NYTimes Connections style lateral thinking, I could see it starting out as "marqué" ("marked"). That fits both the literal meaning of 'stained' *and* 'labeled with condition X' (in the gameplay sense).
