Control Resonant review
The first time I ate mold was like something out of a Victorian morality play.
Why am I seeing this Ranked on corroboration — 3 independent outlets
3 independent outlets carried this — Eurogamer, PC Gamer, Polygon, Ign and Dexerto. Agreement across newsrooms that do not share an owner is the strongest thing we can measure, so it carries the most weight.
The classifier could not identify the subject from the text, so the section was inherited from the source feed. We do not summarise what we cannot identify — this one links straight out.
Link-outLink-out, because the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroborationleads | 0.35 | 0.77 | +0.271 53% | 3 distinct tier-1/2 orgs, counted once each: Eurogamer, PC Gamer, Polygon, Ign and Dexerto. Saturates at 5. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.83 | +0.208 41% | Eurogamer is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | The sources carry no usable publish times, so the rate could not be measured from them directly. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.16 | +0.033 6% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
The first time I ate mold was like something out of a Victorian morality play. It was in boarding school, when fuzzy blue-grey discs would sometimes appear on the bottom of a quiche, or after I saw one of the kitchen ladies use a cleaning rag to cover a tray of cauliflower cheese. We were told it was a good source of protein, and because I complained, I had to collect rubbish for a weekend in my school uniform. Outside the realm of edible mushrooms and respectable fungi and polite society, the idea of eating mold is kinda gross. But here I am, in Control Resonant, faced with the Temptation of Saint Mycology, while my handler screams in my ear for me to put the mold down.
