they’re still normal reads at heart, just with some allowances made
heres a tier list
good reads - kat town
less good reads - kat not scum
less bad reads - meta augmented reads
bad reads - meta reads
good reads - kat has this medium sized piece of scummy evidence, and this small bit of towny evidence, however from previous experience we know kat just does that for whatever reason no matter what, leaving only the small bit of towny evidence, and therefore they are town
memes aside
a lot of people rely too much on meta imo
sometimes it works
sometimes it doesn’t
using meta to influence reads is inevitable and not inherently bad
using meta to dictate your reads in their entirety is bad
part of my mindset in FM is to make myself hard to metaread and not rely on meta reads myself
i think i’ve done a decent job on both fronts
my main strategy is a way to develop and find trustworthy information in a sea of distrust, and then some mechanics and weird logic to find the most likely candidate
speaking of arete moments
your link chat n4 of FoL26 was a top tier arete moment
@Arete i enjoyed it very much
arete, in response to a joke, writes a defensive wallpost
if that isn’t a top tier arete moment i don’t know what is
