I bought Dispatch and now 90% of my suggestions are hentai “dating” sims.

Their discovery system needs work.

I can’t even block them because there’s a never ending queue of them each time it refreshes it shows new ones.

You don’t even get to date malevola so dispatch is pretty shit as a dating sim.

There is a tag for dating sim and another for visual novel that you can exclude

A way to filter out certain categories by tags would be great, if they haven’t added that already.

You can filter tags in your settings.

You can in fact block those, specifically, at least by disabling AO+ rated games from showing up in your queue at all. I don’t know if there are other categories or filters that can do this, but I know for sure nsfw games can be since I use it.

There are some non-porn games that get caught by that setting, unfortunately. I had to disable it back when… I want to say when the Witcher 3 was released? Not sure, but it was some huge release that got filtered.

Yeah I blocked those ages ago and the only game that I was actually interested in that got blocked was baldurs gate 3. Easy to hit “show games blocked by my filters” to get the one game that was the exception, which I already knew about without Steam telling me so

Also blocking hides them completely, you can’t even find them if you search by name. I just want to take them out of the recommendations.

That’s a bit of a problem. Is that not, however, calling for censorship? On the AI front, that I understand.

Not censorship, but not massively overindexing like that.

The on route to getting recommended this stuff is way too open without a way to tell it stop.

When I go in my top recommendation is “Fetish Locator S&M Studio”, and these are all in my top recommendations at the top of the store:

Meanwhile my library looks like this:

I will say recommendations based on games I play is pretty good, but I’ve also dismissed “5 hearts one roof” and similar a ton of times.

I guess the next step to improve recommendations is to better consider what the user doesn’t play.

You can remove content/tags/genres from your discovery queue. In the settings somewhere.

I’ve removed VR so I get no results.

Don’t be so be ridiculous.

You don’t see the link between Cities Skylines II and Fetish Locator: S&M studio?

Have you not tried the San Fernando Valley expansion pack for C:S2?
