hey my name's Noah, let's be pals

fuck you RYM for turning the simple pleasure of music into pokemon

i don't rate singles unless they have non-album material on them, otherwise i think it's just an excuse to pointlessly boost your rating numbers. if you want to see my rating for a specific song, check my track ratings.

i rate things based solely off how much i enjoy them (meaning objectively). if you don't like that then go bother someone else

i have a hearing loss of over 6.0 decibels (been years since i got tested). ill take my rockist badge please

i am probably going to remove my film ratings as i now use criticker and maintaining both is a waste of time. update: actually i still rate stuff but only to remove it off the film charts when looking for things to watch. i don't maintain or update anything here past that

god damn it (◕‿◕✿)

IMPORTANT EDIT: i'm gradually shifting my ratings towards a bell curve. not much of a point in rating on some "general expectation", since i'm usually seeking out music i like and the stuff i don't connect with isn't represented. the lower numbers are becoming underused and the larger ones are losing weight. so in other words, i'm now rating stuff based on how i like them among my general collection and in a sense how eager i am to return to them. i'm not gonna spend my time changing all my old ratings at once though. just don't take it as me hating everything, i promise i don't.
