Almost nobody seems to like Hearthstone's new Signature cards.
Look, I get it, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. But as my Aesthetics tutor at university once explained, the argument that all art is entirely subjective is a weak-ass one. For instance, if you set out to write a heartbreaking ballad, but end up with a trombone-heavy Irish jig, then your artwork is bad in an empirically provable way. At the very least, you have misunderstood the brief, which is pretty much where I am with Hearthstone's new Signature cards.
Signature cards launched alongside the March of the Lich King expansion this week, and the reaction to the way they look has been. The idea behind Signatures is that they're a new, extremely rare type of collectible card, designed to show off more of Hearthstone's often stellar artwork. The cards use a relatively minimal frame, feature a bespoke piece of art , and have a visual style themed around the set they're part of. And that's where the problem with the first batch lies.
I mean, seriously, take a look at the Signature and Diamond versions of Blood Matriarch Liadrin in the gif above and tell me which one is worth hunting for. I asked my Twitter followers how they felt about this new style of card. Hearthstone folks, now that you've got your hands on them, wanted to see what you think of the Signature cards versus the style used for Diamond and Golden Legendaries. Tell me how you're feeling, and what if anything you'd like done differently pic.twitter.com/svbCdFgeNW

Seeing Social: A Neural Signature for Conscious Perception of Social InteractionsSocial information is some of the most ambiguous content we encounter in our daily lives, yet in experimental contexts, percepts of social interactions—that is, whether an interaction is present and if so, the nature of that interaction—are often dichotomized as correct or incorrect based on experimenter-assigned labels. Here, we investigated the behavioral and neural correlates of subjective (or conscious) social perception using data from the Human Connectome Project in which participants ( n=1049; 486 men, 562 women) viewed animations of geometric shapes during fMRI and indicated whether they perceived a social interaction or random motion. Critically, rather than experimenter-assigned labels, we used observers' own reports of “Social” or “Non-social” to classify percepts and characterize brain activity, including leveraging a particularly ambiguous animation perceived as “Social” by some but “Non-social” by others to control for visual input. Behaviorally, observers were biased toward perceiving information as social (vs non-social); and neurally, observer reports (compared with experimenter labels) explained more variance in activity across much of the brain. Using “Unsure” reports, we identified several regions that responded parametrically to perceived socialness. Neural responses to social versus non-social content diverged early in time and in the cortical hierarchy. Finally, individuals with higher internalizing trait scores showed both a higher response bias toward “Social” and an inverse relationship with activity in default mode and visual association areas while scanning for social information. Findings underscore the subjective nature of social perception and the importance of using observer reports to study percepts of social interactions. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Simple animations involving two or more geometric shapes have been used as a gold standard to understand social cognition and impairments therein. Yet, experimenter-assigned labels of what is
