1) Yes, that's how we used to play computer games. That is actually a fancy one.

2) 5min into real time / 4yrs game time, I really felt I needed a real life supervisor to talk to... πŸ˜…

A completely random event based text game. Simply make your choice at the beginning of each month and see if you can graduate in time. All outcomes are determined by the random number generator and do not take them seriously. Sometimes the RNG can be brutal :)

Proud of myself: I've beaten every record I ever set up for a brief PhD supervision. 8 minutes, and it was all dealt with. Meeting again in a week's time, to look at the next slice of text. Hoping that'll be no more than 8 minutes. This might be infinitely preferable to the enormous, depressing meeting every few weeks when I have to unpick pages and pages of draft that take forever to read because the student's been given the space to go wildly in the wrong direction.

This was just short, sharp, and painless. Hooray! (old dog, new trick). #PhDsupervision #EarlyModern
