  • Linked in is simultaneously the most useful and useless social media platform.

    On one hand, you can use it to get jobs, and keep a line of contact with former/present colleagues in a professional setting (as opposed to Facebook or remembering to write down their personal email address).

    On the other hand, you have the feed, which is full of the most stupid, banal, and preformative shit you’ll ever see on social media, because it’s all in the name of advancing your career in this superficial society of ours.

    I hate it, but it has its uses.


  • Sounds like in Bethesda’s case it’s a vain corporate attempt to manage the games reputation. Having a mixed rating definitely hurts their sales; it gives you pause before deciding to spend $90 on a game. You’d hope that the next step for them would be to retrospect on why people are finding the game meh, but that rarely seems to happen.

    “Am I out of touch? No, it’s the players who should enjoy landing on an empty planet.”

    If steam were owned by anyone other than Valve (not to say they’re perfect), I’d be expecting reviews to soon go the same way that dislikes did on YouTube for similar nonsensical reasons.
