05/03 - Finally Friday!

So I feel like I've discussed my love of stroopwafels on the forum before, but it made me unreasonably happy when I saw that there's a German festival going on near my apartment that's selling them!

Spoiler: delicious caramelly goodness

 

Sitting here at my desk inputting many tens of thousands of dollars of rent payments listening to a true crime podcast featuring Paul Holes (famous for leading the team who captured the Golden State Killer).

He's all talking about solving cold cases by digging up 40 year old Jane Doe bones, Edmund Kemper's size and proclivities, serial rapists, etc. when I realize people are in the office paying rent.

Really hoping they couldn't hear my podcast up in the front of the office.

 

Paul Holes is a damn hero.

He's badass.

He has his own podcast now (I'm sure you know that). And I'm listening to him on another one I love called Small Town Dicks (as in detectives before any of y'all go off on that, lol). It's co-hosted by the woman who is the voice of Lisa Simpson.

​

Pros:
Play a bunch of IATs masquerading as games on Unity, and complete generic questionnaires pertaining to your life for $10.

The games can be visually interesting and engaging if you want them to be. Think Regan Mandryk, but a bit more lame, as there is no general theme that encompasses the 8 or so games in this study.

The study didn't actually take 100 minutes, as it claimed several times in the title and description. They provided a more realistic estimate of 50 minutes in the description as well, however. With a 6 hour timer, as well as breaks provided to you within the games and survey itself, you can work on this in parts in the background if you wanted to.

Cons:
The games are a bore, as they are all done in Unity and are very repetitive IATs most of the time. The one game that isn't a generic IAT has a forced 8 minute timer. All games either have annoying sound effects, annoying music, or both at the same time, so mute the tab if you want to save yourself the ear cancer.

There is no incentive to doing well in the games, and in some games doing well on them means you're going to be stuck doing them for longer. No bonuses for top performers is depressing, and really cuts into workers' motivation when trying to slog through this IAT-riddled study.

Because the games are hosted on Unity, they will pause whenever you remove your focus on the window. This makes it annoying to try to pause or multitask, as you have to devote your entire focus onto the boring IATs.

For the survey questionnaires theirselves, they are a bit personal. They also included several attention checks, and some of the survey pages are very bubbly. They're just as annoying as the games you're playing.

I would avoid this if you don't enjoy doing IATs for this long.
