Demo account. Games first, everything else on the side. Pacing is everything.
Archetype
The Thrill Chaser
Pacing and spectacle first. With a streak of The Genre Devotee.
11% of Buds. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.
Momentum. Set pieces, stakes, a story that grabs they by the collar and does not let go until the credits.
Where it goes wrong: Speed can hide emptiness. Some of your five stars are adrenaline, not admiration.
More about the Thrill Chaser
- Avoids
- Drift. Contemplation without event feels like a waiting room, whatever the critics say.
- How they rate
- Your stars follow your pulse. Pacing and spectacle earn them; interiority has to bring an engine.
- Good company
- Genre Devotees and Cartographers ride along. Formalists find you impatient; you find them slow.
- Against the crowd
- You are close to the crowd on blockbusters and much harsher than it on the acclaimed and unhurried.
