I came here to see if maybe I was having a stroke or if this paragraph was just absolutely nonsensical…it appears to be the latter. Though if I keep reading this drivel it may also be the former.

See, you're one of those gamers that likes romance...

Folks really need to understand that the context that really matters for a review is the reviewer and the score is unique to that person. You cannot effectively aggregate scores and retain their meaning. There's no magic algorithm that will allow for a consensus opinion about something.

How many points does Guilty Gear X2 have?

One could simply accept the subjectiveity of human experience rather than do all this

It also sounds like Grok wrote it.

what in the vibecode

I wanna be clear, the scenario I was going for here is like, if a Polygon or Kotaku or PCGamer reviewer doesn't get a Steam copy, but reviews the game via Itch, or some other download path, this statement is saying that's now a valid review worth including.

It’s an assumption on my part, but everything in that last sentence is stuff that you can easily scrape directly out of the Steam review metadata, and downweighting based on those specific factors to curb abuse only makes sense for user reviews.

This is diagnosable. This is clinically significant

A gamer noticed that if you do math to enough numbers, you get another number. This is what the hobby is all about.

An AI 100% wrote this.

Finally, we can measure fun!

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for clarifying that end. I just found myself really baffled by the wording because I tend to buy Steam keys from official retailers such as Humble, GOG or Itch(dot)io where devs give out DRM free copies or Steam keys of their games.

thank you, clippy

i really hope the 88 mark comes from hangups over that Gamespot 8.8 review for Twilight Princess. thats been embedded in the gamer brain for decades now

I’m always saying, “Players ≥ 2/3.” The group chat is always like, “Christ, Grayson, give it a rest. We know that Players ≥ 2/3.”

Seems like a really complicated process to just get to:

Simply looking at that one image I can tell the website was cooked up in Claude lol

Someone tell bro to just drop the LLM jargon and put a formula at this point. There did a threshold where an actual LaTeX formatted block of math is more comprehensible

Thank you for figuring out a way to express this feeling, I experience this all the time when reading stuff that was clearly ai written, and I feel like I'm going crazy

lol

I knew Borderlands starting the "turn everything into a min/maxing RPG" craze, would eventually rot an absurd number of succeptibly 'logical' and 'critical thinker' brains.

Not sure I want to have any idea what's going on here; reads like some reddit-based ex-scientologist cult is attempting to justify why they're proactively prorating GTA 6 a 9.2/10 prior to it's physical/material release based on data science or something...

I don't suppose you'll tell us who invented that system??
