I've noticed 3 major viewpoints (w/ some overlap) on reviews:

1. Reviews are Hit Points
2. Reviews are information
3. Reviews are noise
Both the bombers and the anti-bombers largely subscribe to "Reviews are Hit Points."

Established AAA big boys seem to gravitate towards 3
Unpacking that a bit -- small/indie developers (including myself) get scared of review bombs b/c you feel your existence is marginal already
Whereas more established developers basically don't really care because they have more than enough reviews to shrug off the blow
Also, small devs often feel that they have no way to stand out *except* for high user reviews and so they take negative reviews personally
Visiting the 2. position (Reviews are information, which seems to be Valve's principal stance) I think- I don't care abt EVERYONE's opinion
So I'm looking forward to what Valve will do with personalizing things more.
It's also pretty interesting to see which title people cite as their exemplar. My timeline is mostly FW, but on Steam it's mostly GTAV/Dota2
And let's not forget the various games that got "where's that chinese localization you promised us" review bombs from the middle kingdom

Anti-Semitism predates Israel, predates the Holocaust, predates the Inquisition, the Crusades, the Romans. It has been a persistent drumbeat throughout history. Those who use the most-modern excuses to hate or scapegoat Jews are simply another beat in an ancient rhythm.
Anti-Semitism is the most ancient of conspiracy theories, one that adapts to every era. From right to left, anti-Semitism seeks out Jews, defines them as a power far beyond their real numbers, then denies them humanity, nationhood, legitimacy, and in many cases life itself.
Those who believe Israel should be condemned above all nations, who are ignorant of history beyond the latest headline, should take a look at the words being used to condemn “Zionism” and see them in context of a long line of excuses to keep anti-Semitism alive.

Der @ORF verbreitet im Hauptabendprogramm nach einem Spielfilm ("Das Wunder von #Wörgl"), den über 600.000 Menschen sahen, in einer Erklär- und Begleitdoku, die haltlose These nach einer "Selbstausschaltung des Parlaments" im Jahr 1933.
Zur Erinnerung: Dollfuß ließ anordnen, dass am 15. März 1933 unter Androhung von Waffengewalt Nationalratsabgeordneten der Zutritt zum Parlament verwehrt wird. Das war das Ende der Ersten Republik in Österreich. Nicht eine kleine Geschäftsordnungskrise davor, die war nur Anlass.
Im Spielfilm selbst wurde auch bewusst der #Austrofaschismus übersprungen. Der Film endet mit der Verurteilung Unterguggenbergs und einer Einblendung, dass er ein Jahr danach starb. Auf einmal hängen schon Hakenkreuzfahnen in Wörgl.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

[Wątek] 1/ na szpagat @prezydentpl trzeba spojrzeć w szerszym kontekście. Prezydent zaniechał dwóch fundamentalnych czynności wprost przyznanych mu w jego ustawie o SN #SN
2/ pierwsza - prezydent powinien wydać postanowienie (art. 142 ust. 2 Konstytucji) stwierdzając przejście w stan spoczynku 10 sędziów. Tymczasem prezydent wysłał listy, w których pisze, że przeszli w stan spoczynku. List nie ma żadnego znaczenia, nie kreuje stanu prawnego.
3/ co ciekawe, listy wysłał również do tych sędziów, którzy powołali się na Konstytucję, wyrażając wolę dalszego urzędowania i nie dołączając zaświadczeń lekarskich. Co ciekawe, takiego listu nie wysłał do PSN Iwulskiego. Ten również stwierdził, że nie dołączy zaśw. lekarskiego.
