Just tongue in cheek…
I had AI make a scientific paper (just title and abstract) on my APBAGO project…
Digital Chrono-Displacement in Algorithmic Pastimes: A Sociological Analysis of 20th and 21st-Century Nostalgia Engineering Within Custom Tabletop Simulation Leagues
Abstract
This paper investigates the modern socio-technical phenomenon of contemporary hobbyists constructing hyper-detailed, multi-tiered historical sports simulation leagues. By examining user-generated digital architecture, statistical modeling workflows (such as custom spreadsheet parameters and era-specific probabilistic engines), and serialized narrative distribution methods, we analyze how participants bridge historical timelines through play.Rather than viewing these sandbox environments as mere escapism, our study posits that the meticulous curation of cross-era sports databases functions as a modern form of amateur historiography. Participants actively reclaim, organize, and re-enact historical periods, utilizing digital simulation tools to impose structural order on chaotic temporal data. Ultimately, this research frames contemporary tabletop sports gaming not just as leisure, but as a sophisticated exercise in digital archiving, data curation, and self-directed cultural preservation.

That’s a lot of abstract just to call us nerds. :-)

Awesome!
