I wrote a cool, dark passage as testing material for a compression encoding method, but I haven’t found an encoding thing that can reduce the text’s size. On top of that, the passage is 1496 characters long, so I can’t post it with included context.

Oh well. I’ll get back to work on those backdrops.

When in doubt, just take a full-page screenshot.

Me, Colubrine Sector and some other people know that I prefer to "indirectly" talk to people . . . and we all hate it. I try to get people to poke their noses at me themselves, rather than me calling them. I have the nerve to loudly talk about my plans to talk to somebody, but none of the courage needed to directly talk to them.

I discovered ToastyRoast and tortured had some fun with it. The responses are too long to fit in a single post, so I put them here: https://tbgforums.com/forums/index.php?msg=705614

RANDOM IDEA: twice a day, I’ll reroll my flair, use Craiyon to generate an image of whatever is on my mind at the moment (colored to match the flair) and use it as my PFP.

Tell me what you think about this.

Some more recent journal entries - oldest first:

ENTRY C

Important update on Colbrine Sector: I've been misspelling its name for the past month.

Less important update on Colubrine Sector: it tried to branch into a thread about some sort of embodiment of [NAME], an opposite of said embodiment & a genuinely inspiring quote from [NAME]; "creation exists at the crossroads between order and chaos". Colubrine Sector found fault with the main character and dropped the thread.

ENTRY D

While draining the bath, I remembered all the cool, partially dragon-related lore that was written in the promotional booklets in the Calliope-brand board games. You know what happens next . . .

AGENDA:

- Transcribe the Calliope papers ASAP

- Inquire about the lack of ChatGPT news

- Ask [NAME] to do the rambling that he mentioned doing

- Consider watching R2NL tomorrow

ENTRY A

I don't know why, but it feels like [NAME] and the others were slower to get up today. Also, three was a power outage around midnight, which I blissfully slept through. But without further ado, here's the dream log:

Accidentally letting Sabine loose

A secret minigame in Gerudo Town

Taking pictures of weird creatures

Awkward Fellow with whiskers

A cat with [DKG]-ish fur

Duck on the dash cam

The Gerudo Great Skeleton, except filled with single-headed [GLK]s

There was a third dream which I remember really deserved to be logged, but I can't remember it! Oh well, the dreams that I remembered are still fine.

(CONTEXT: I swiped Apple’s official journaling app a few days ago & have been using it to make the entries that I’ve been sharing)

ENTRY C.2

I've got an interesting new thread. This one features conspiracies, note-taking . . . and that's mostly all I have so far. I'll make sure to share an update about where this thread goes.

ENTRY C.3

Update on the latest Colbrine Sector thread: the raiding has been de-escalated to "civilian research leasing". Also, the Kulfi and Shikanjvi concept has been merged with the thread.

TAKING NOTES: I overheard [NAME] asking my mom about trains - the clothing kind . . .

ENTRY C.4

We got a straw shorter than it was wide. Damaging winds, frequent lightning and isolated TORNADOES, in an advisory note pointed STRAIGHT AT US! These conditions are very sketchy!

ENTRY D

Awkward Fellow is somewhere in your room. Don't get weirded out.

ENTRY C.2

I think I managed to get Colbrine Sector working again! When I mixed together the "relocation" concept, a certain SMO character and other stuff that Colbrine Sector likes, I got a story framework with some real value! It's going swell so far, but it's also 6:26 (pm), and I have dinner to prepare and eat!

ENTRY C.3

"Beeeeep!" -me, picking up on the news about the massive storms coming for us

Someone should make an AI that asks you a series of questions & lets you list info which it turns into a generative AI chatbot. I’d like this to exist so I can have a face-to-face conversation with Colbrine Sector, because unless Kielbasa or other related neural computing devices actually exist, my brain isn’t powerful enough to personify a network of subconscious programming and have a conversation with it.

I bring this up because my dad is looking to tap into a business-grade ChatGPT subscription. (He planned to have gotten access by yesterday evening, but his text went unnoticed.) Once I get access to that subscription, I plan to torture test it with the prompt

From the first-person view of a mental entity named Colbrine Sector, generate a rant-like dissertation about the ways that dragons have been portrayed as villains and why it is necessary to start portraying them strictly as protagonist characters.

to see what Colbrine Sector would REALLY say on the matter.

POV: you’re using your phone at 6:26am with glazed eyes:

ENTRY A

I'm up there wee horses! My pants turned out to be the hot kind,
resulting in below average sleep.

DREAM LOG:
⭐️ Making s****** ****** with R*****
❔ Three tiny new chasms in Lanayru
⭐️ Ice cream shop in Gerudo Town
❔ A slideshow
❔ Something that tastes bad
⭐️ The true identity of the art calendar

I was going to post this in a comment, but it started to drift from the post’s topic, so I moved it here:

I also daydream too much, but I haven’t thought of logging my daydreams. At this point, I wish I had started logging my brain activities earlier, as my daydreams seem to be stagnating on a lack of emotional fuel. If I can get Colbrine Sector to come up with some innovative new theme for my daydreaming, I’ll start logging my daydreams big-time.

If I don’t get Colbrine Sector working, remind me to watch Return to Neverland next Sunday.

Earlier today, after trying to Shazam some music (GT-180 broadcasts, in case you were wondering), I lost track of my AirPods case. After failing to locate them, I pocket my AirPods, lie down in bed, let Colbrine Sector do its thing, and think nothing more of it.

A few minutes ago, I absentmindedly reach into my left pocket, and pull out . . . my right AirPod.

Oh, well. The other one’s probably somewhere in my bed.
