I'd say, after myself gaming since pacman on the atari, it's a basic principle of taste in general:

Your palate is an exponential convergence. Ever only tried piss and puddlewater as drinks? Then you'd probably say "piss is #1". After testing another 10 drinks, it's probably down to #8. And another 190 drinks it's maybe down to #200.

Saying, the more diverse items of a thing you'll consume, the more refined your palate grows and so does your standard.

I mean, i once thought pacman or pong were graphically and gameplay-wise the absolute tits. After a felt gazillion games later, they wouldn't exactly pass the same bar.

Starfield is totally mediocre. I didn't expect much. Even less. I pirated it to test it, and after some hours i still wanted a refund. But it had great loading-screens!

Nah man, puddlewater beats piss 10 to 1

I see we got a connoisseur here. But that really depends on the climate, age and main ingredients in puddlewater. What if it's 90% hobo-puke after a week in bright sun? 🤔
