I discovered the OB archives this morning and have been working my way through them all day rather than actually doing my job, which I guess just goes to show that there are all kinds of superstimuli in the world.
That said, engaging as you are, I suspect I will soon decide to suspend you in favor of eating dinner and making it to rehearsal, which is reassuring. (“See? I can quit any time I want. I just don’t want to, is all.”)
I’m sort of hoping that by the time I reach the more current articles I will actually have something useful, or at least entertaining, to contribute to the conversation.
As a stand-in for that kind of usefulness, though, I will point out that the link to http://very.net/~nikolai/nasty/games.html is broken. (I don’t know if you care, but I figure you can’t make that decision until you know.)

I agree with TheOtherDave—lesswrong and OB definitely qualify as superstimulation.
So much practical, actual STUFF to do, and so much here to read instead...
