    i mean, on that scale a 6/10 is barely above average. I’m still looking at you funny foot calling that “quite good”

      Personal scale, fully subjective:

      1. Watch it if you are one of people who always fiddle with phone or sleep at shows
      2. Drying paint may be better
      3. Better than nothing
      4. Kinda meh
      5. Enjoyable Somewhat good
      6. Quite Good Enjoyable
      7. Good
      8. Very Good
      9. Fantastic
      10. Watch it or die trying

      * Got corrected. Now at english better am, I >:3

        i guess I’m my mind “quite good” is better than “good”

        like “quite” is a synonym to “very” in this context as I understand it. maybe to a lesser degree, but it’s certainly a positive modifier. i would use a similar scale if those two were swapped.

        maybe that’s just my dumb american vocab or something, but i would be very confused by that scale as it stands.

            Yeah, you’re using “quite” incorrectly here. Add the other person said, “quite good” means “really good” or “very good.” You want something like “somewhat good.” If it were me, I would change 5 to “decent” and 6 to “enjoyable” since “enjoyable” has a much more positive connotation than I’d expect from the middle of the scale.
