I'd like to be a Games Bimbo but in the end I'm more of an Aging Laggard

Sorry, liberals, but there are only two genders: Games Guru or Games Bimbo. Pick one. (I am a Games Bimbo 1000%)

Edgar Allen Ho posted:I don’t understand why doritos or corn chips are in this post. Doritos aren’t great but they are indeed corn chips, and corn chips are in fact a real thing that was not invented by US companies, and there are a shitload of tasty ones out there it's because doritos are a brand of snack that is made from a starchy plant that is dried and ground up before being re-formed into thin wafers. this is analogous to how pringles are a snack made from a starchy plant that is dried and ground up before being re-formed into thin wafers. thus the interesting fact is that one of these is, according to the United States Food and Drug Administration, is allowed to be called "<name of plant> chips" while the other is not. the FDA ruled that pringles could only use the word "chip" in the legal description if they called them "potato chips made from dried potatoes", which is obviously not the same level of awkward wording that snacks made from other dried ground-up starchy plants are subjected to. this idea really isn't that difficult

For anyone who's dismissing Pringles and hasn't had their paprika-flavoured edition, you are truly missing out.

Big data is out, medium data is inquote:First, keep your datasets in check: don't be afraid to lop off those superfluous rows. You can't agonize over what doesn't exist. You'll also want to try to keep your visualizations as mundane as possible. Yes, you can create thousands of different vizzes with Tableau at a click, but tame your enthusiasm. People will only ask you to make more vizzes. In summary, if you aim for the middle, you'll really end up on top. The article is adorably dorky

I get that it's a joke, but everything in this blockquote:First, keep your datasets in check: don't be afraid to lop off those superfluous rows. You can't agonize over what doesn't exist.

That's fantastic (and very common). Edit: they gave them that .1 though. That was nice.

To be fair, IMDB often has the dumbest aggregate scores for everything compared to metacritic and rotten tomatoes.

Megillah Gorilla posted:Is that from the Captain Marvel movie? Honestly it could be anything. The thing about any numeric scale is the vast majority of people will only use the very top or bottom rating because people who just felt a thing was "average" don't tend to care enough to leave a review. This is why so many rating systems now are just "like" or "dislike".

Also the fact that the ratings are aggregated encourages the extremes of the scale to maximize moving the average (eg if something sits at an average of 6 but you think it's an 8 then rating it 10 is twice as effective in bringing the score up towards 8)
