@kinmoku also "having few reviews gives you a lower score" is heavily biased towards big name releases which have lots more players, though that is obviously data that's available to Valve so they might account for it

@kinmoku yeah, either way it's weird for Google to display it when even Steam itself doesn't seem to

@kinmoku apparently there's a way to sort your library by user review score in the UI but I don't remember ever seeing that

@kinmoku I have no idea. I don't think they surface it anywhere in their own UI and it doesn't correspond with the ratings given on game pages as far as I can tell

I am stepping back from the #Tusky project with immediate effect.

I discovered severe lapses in how the Tusky project's donations (received via #OpenCollective) were being handled. When I reported those to the project's private "Tusky Contributors" Matrix channel the financial admins tone policed the feedback, refused to engage with the concerns I and others raised, and demanded the discussion be stopped.

There is too much detail for a thread, so please read write.as/nikclayton/stepping-b.

@kinmoku I wonder if they're using the steamdb formula, which is biased towards 50%, especially if there's not a lot of ratings. I don't know why they would, I think Steam's "positive" would work much better there since it's actually mentioned on the website (and I generally prefer it to a numbers rating)

asking for financial help yet again 

hey uhm, sorry for asking yet again but I need some money somewhat urgently because I needed to help my dad financially and am now sitting here, with almost no money left on my account… (and since I’m unfortunately still unemployed and don’t get money from any other sources, I need to ask y’all once more - it really would help me a lot if you could leave even just a bit of money… ><)

@ChocoMintPuppy I mean OLED doesn't have to be off to consume less power and honestly I prefer my screen to look nice at the cost of being a little less efficient

oh hey Apple Music Preview for Windows has a really nice dark mode but it's tied to the system dark mode and Windows 10 only has a true-black one that I can't stand

@odoben @dogo isn't the thing with cyanide in it bitter almonds
