If you want [abstractapplic]'s feedback on anything, let me know.
I have received creative feedback from abstractapplic. It was useful and made me happy. This is an endorsement.
"I loved your game, especially level 7!", "7th level best level, you should make the entire game like that", "just fyi level 7 was more fun than the rest of them put together" and "Your game was terrible, except for level 7, which was merely bad." are all effectively the same review.
Interesting, I always thought that singleing out one particular component of a work was a shibboleth that you did notice it and did enjoy it. While as you said in point 2 - longer comments that are more thoughtful tend to signal authenticity of the feedback, particularity when positive. However, compare two concise pieces of feedback
"I love the cinematography in your film, it was so beautiful and I think it really did a very good job of matching the story and enchancing it"
compare to:
"I loved the way you captured the dawn over her brother's house, the shadows set the mood for their confrontation."
Both are compliments about cinematography and about the same length, but the first you could say about any film, the second you can only say about a film which has a brother-and-sister confrontation preceded by a shot of the dawn with foreboding shadows.
Now some meta, and hopefully directional feedback about your specific post- I'd like you to be ever clearer than you were about the intention of this post.
Because I don't think you're looking for directional feedback for the sake of getting feedback - but I can't tell if this post is a request for more feedback for you in future, or trying to open a more general discussion about what norms and conventions exist around giving feedback, or if it's about you wanting to see people give more love to other creators. Maybe all my assumptions are wrong?
Without that intention being slap-in-the-face clear to me, I can't give you directional feedback other than this frustratingly reflexive advice to make your intention clear from the offset.
I can't tell if this post is a request for more feedback for you in future, or trying to open a more general discussion about what norms and conventions exist around giving feedback, or if it's about you wanting to see people give more love to other creators.
I was trying to do all of these things simultaneously.
Note: Probably reinventing the wheel here. Heavily skewed to my areas of interest. Your results may vary.
Saying The Quiet Parts Out Loud
On the extreme end, I'm perpetually amazed and gratified that I can assign strangers homework and some of them will A) do it and B) be grateful for it.
