  • Hover a dot for a screenshot preview, score, and top score gaps; click to compare in the panel on the right.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).
