Demo account. Games with a clock in them, and then I ignore the clock. Rewatches the same six films every winter.
Warmth, resolution, a place they can return to. The rewatch is the point; the third time is the best time.
Where it goes wrong: Comfort can be a wall. The work that would have changed your mind never gets past the first ten minutes.

Once More* with Footnotes is the real thing. It keeps its feelings close, and I respected that. It earned every star.
One of the best things I have listened to this year. Proudly pulpy and a total blast. This one is going to stay with me.
Fishboy at the top of their game with Zipbangboom. The comedy lands again and again. It keeps its feelings close, and I respected that.
I did not expect Up in a heaval to hit this hard. Proudly pulpy and a total blast. One for the shelf of things I press on people.
Mostly about the story.
J.G. Quintel at the top of their game with Regular Show: The Lost Tapes. The comedy lands again and again. Rarely does something land this completely.
An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess is the real thing. It is kind to its people, and that kindness is the point. Go in knowing as little as you can.
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; Rafa 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.
