Demo account. Science fiction in every medium. Ideas first, then everything else.
With a controller in hand, a Provocateur.
A world with its own rules, history, and weather. They read the appendix. They want to know what is over the next hill.
Where it goes wrong: Lore is not story. You can spend a hundred hours somewhere and not notice nothing happened.
The charts and numbers behind this are under Taste.
The five this Bud would hand you first.
What the sentences on the overview are made of.
Among 649 curators with a profile.
Solid mark is what they love; hollow is what they avoid. Sincerity vs. irony barely moves their ratings.
How far this Bud leans on each of the fourteen dimensions compared with everyone else, strongest first.
This month they were chasing intensity and in a generous mood. From 28 logs in the last thirty days.

Empty. Add things from their pages.
Profile built from 79 rated titles.
A good film, close to a great one. I was not ready for how much it would move me. Easy to recommend.
Mostly about how it felt.
Rating key: ★★★★★ loved, ★★½ mixed.
One of the best things I have read this year. Unsparing in a way that feels honest. Believe the hype on this one.
Mostly about the story.
Endacopia got under my skin. A world so dense I wanted to live in it. Already want to play it again.
Mostly about the craft.
Solid, and in places better than solid. The plot is a machine and every part of it clicks. Not easy, and not trying to be. Not perfect, but it stays with you.
Mostly about the story.
A good game, close to a great one. The dread settles in early and never lifts. The world-building is extraordinary; every corner is lived in. Easy to recommend.
Mostly about the craft.
Popcorn science fiction with a heart. Rocky is the best alien in decades because the book lets him be a friend, not a puzzle.
Mostly about the performances, the story, comfort.
The book is a machine for thinking about ecology and religion at once. Villeneuve's film understood the scale; the book understood the cost.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
Further out is a stronger lean than other Buds.
Each spoke is one dimension; further out means a stronger lean that way than other Buds. A big shape is a strong, unusual taste; a small one is close to the middle of everyone.
One row a medium, half a star a bar; the dashed line is the mean. Kinder to books than films? It shows here.
One bar per star rating, one row per medium. Where the bars pile up is your habit; the dashed line is your average for that medium.
The two directions taste varies most along. Archetypes cluster; Kofi is ringed, and people they follow are outlined.
Every Bud, placed so that people with similar leans sit near each other. The two axes are the directions taste varies most along, found from all profiles. Neighbors are worth a look.
Above the line, kinder than the crowd; below it, harsher.
Each dot is a title: your stars up, the audience's average across. Dots above the line are where you were kinder than the crowd, below it harsher. A wide spread means you do not follow consensus.
Needs ratings across at least two years, with three or more in each.
Year by year, on the four strongest dimensions.
One line per dimension, one point per year: the average character of what you loved that year. A line that climbs means your favorites moved toward that pole.
