If it helps, of the over 1050+ releases I've rated I've only ever given four albums a perfect 10/10 score. 84 9s, 239 8s, 345 7s, 253 6s, 91 5s, 41 4s, and 6 3s (don't see much point is wasting my time on anything less enjoyable than that), so while I stand by my rating I think it's worth noting that my 7s are probably comparable to a lot of people's 8s.
Just remember, parents, it goes the opposite way too. Sometimes a kid has real talent, but lack of encouragement doesn't push us to cultivate it. Kids pick up on what you say, or don't say, more than a lot of parents realize.

I will just gently state that this is c/games, not c/gamingcircles and thus many of us are very interested in video games but not necessarily the industries on the periphery thereof, so what seems "yet again" to you might be a first time for others.
It is impossible to fully understand loss as it happened without being around to witness what an absolute shitbag Buckley had been online for a long time preceding it. A big part of what made loss so ridiculous was it being so sanctimonious from the internet's most childish shithead.
Oh so Mary does it and people spend the next thousand years making statues and paintings in her honor, but Elena does it and gets blasted on social media?
I tried to look into this, but I couldn't figure out how any of it works.
