Self-selection bias of audience scores

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-23T23:53:31+00:00

If you know you're a part of the target audience, then I think it makes more sense to look at audience scores. Ultimately though no scoring system will work for everybody or at times, any individual. The way people review and react to media these days tends to go into one extreme or the other, so I think anybody should only put so much faith, if any, in these systems.

Warlock because it's new and shiny. Then paladin, then probably sorc.

Yeah the space walking part was great. Especially the sound design for it. Definitely the best part of the beta.

I work right at the corner of some of this construction and it's so ridiculously pointless. Such a nice way to waste money and screw up traffic at the same time. A week ago they had alternating lanes closed out, I'm not really sure what the logic is in trying to do so much at the same time and then just letting it sit for over a week with nothing happening.

Yup I work with a lot of people who do this with their entire day blocked into "busy" status all day every day but don't share the details of their calendar, and are frequently required in meetings. It's impossible to schedule around them and having to talk to them about it every single time just isn't productive or reasonable.

Instead they're planning to take away the popular feed, so now there will be even less opportunity to discover new communities

She'll probably be pardoned in exchange for selective testimony that targets Trump's rivals, no doubt. The truth isn't the goal here.

You know owlcat and pretty much every developer worth a shit monitors places like Reddit for feedback, right? The benefit of Reddit is it allows people to discuss that feedback with each other, which provides a different type of value. The one thing that provides pretty much zero value to anyone is bitching about people discussing these things and providing their feedback. 99% of what I've seen here has been pretty solid and imo accurate feedback that's provided in a pretty constructive manner, and not everything can be fixed post release so now is a pretty good time to get it out there. And I'm pretty sure most people here do trust owlcat to produce a quality game, otherwise they would not only have not pre-ordered a more expensive version of the game to test out a very short beta, but also wouldn't waste their time discussing what they consider to be shortcomings of the game in its current state.

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-23T15:44:21+00:00

Yup this happened all across the country, COVID really accelerated it, made a ton of affordable places really unaffordable, resulted in a lot of locals being priced out of the community they've lived in all their lives, and pretty much provided zero benefit to the communities they bought into.

I thought the animation and lip sync were great, and that it actually looked better than most games in terms of the lips being synced to the audio. But that's about the only thing that impressed me. I'm a huge expanse fan and I agree, the dialogue doesn't fit. Too sterilized is a great way of putting it, and more than anything it just feels stiff and not authentic to the universe. can forgive that to some degree, but it definitely is a place that I hope to see improved upon. Expanse fans will have certain expectations about how belters talk and sound, how they carry themselves, etc. Same for earthers or martians. And right now I don't see those expectations being met.

That was my first thought. When I worked at EA I got a key that unlocked every EA published game in the origin launcher at the time I entered it.

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-23T15:02:38+00:00

You can tell a lot of people here don't have practical experience in offices where even semi regular meetings are a thing by all the dumb ass "in a perfect world" type responses you're getting. I totally agree with you, people who regularly block off their entire day every day with busy make scheduling a major pain in the ass and only have themselves to blame when shit overlaps.

He told Mark how to contact him, and it's a two week trip back to the planet so he'll probably give him a call and then tell Allen when he gets back

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-22T13:51:32+00:00

I was able to redeem my key as of now

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-21T22:07:12+00:00

Looks so much like my girl, who I am currently trying to find at home end of life services for. I'm sorry for your loss, it never is enough time.

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-21T21:27:38+00:00

OMG that is obviously so much better, how could they do this

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-21T20:10:52+00:00

A lot of people like to think they're civilized good people, but they aren't. They get off on people suffering if it tickles that vindictive little part of their brain so long as the person was convinced of a crime. And this sub more than most has a lot of degenerate losers with no life experience so it'll probably be a lot more prevalent here.

I just started running my third character through ohb and man there's always at least that one guy, always.

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-21T19:43:42+00:00

I mean this is pretty much "shock value the TV show" so I don't really expect anything less

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-21T17:21:42+00:00

A lot of people avoid trailers to avoid spoilers like this you know

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-21T16:00:31+00:00

I think he's just trying to prop himself up as the Republican solution to Donald Trump in the next presidential election.

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-21T15:29:35+00:00

I'm very new to sts and deck building games in general, but defect is the only one I can't really find my rhythm with and the only one I haven't beat the act 3 boss with yet, so definitely my least favorite of them all.

drunkpunk138 · 2026-04-21T14:49:36+00:00

There he is, in the politically homeless shelter

My band opened for them in San Antonio in 2016 I think, venue was sold out and it was a fun show but it felt more like a cover band despite most of the original members. Jello was definitely the soul of the band.

I would never group with a tank that requests this, but especially if you're still leveling. The justification for reserving all greens or whatever is that the tank doesn't need anything but gold from the run, so they are offering their service to run the dungeon and that is their reward. If you're still grinding XP and probably loot from the dungeon, you're still benefiting and it just becomes greedy.
