Hi, if an algorithm will only have info that you like Tetris, in current state it will lead you to different tetris "clones" or "modern tetris" stuff 😅

Hi, yeah, I tried that, but unfortunately it does mediocre recommendations in my case

Hi, that's true. I thought to focus on games from GOG's library, because their support for a bunch of old games allows to play those games even on modern computers.

But yeah, there is a lot of good old games that will require shenanigans to play them nowadays

Idk, probably westerners don't know a difference between Catholic and Orthodox church

Hi, interesting, thanks for sharing. I have never heard about this website before, but I will give it a try

Thanks for sharing that webpage, I see some cool games present there

Hi, I see, thanks for your thoughts. I often have similar feeling, but in my case it mainly caused by the fact that I like multiplayer/MMO games and current multiplayer/MMO games are trash, and old one I loved to play have servers offline for a long time now.

Maybe you should just relax for a little and switch to something else like tabletop games, or even to movies/series/books.

The only recommendation I can give you that worked for me a few years ago - try VR games if you still haven't. I guarantee that you will be positively shocked by experience even if you have just a headset (you don't need a west, a treadmill, etc.). The cons of that solution is the you need rather powerful PC (the best VR games now exist only on PC, games that run directly on a headset 90% of time are bad) + you need to buy a VR headset (but I recommend you to buy used one, Quest 3 for overall ok experience, Valve Index if you have money, Quest 2 or Pico 4 if you low on money) + there is only a bunch of VR games exist that are worth playing, so after a while you may be bored.

Nice to see you tried VR already. Yeah, VR games are in hopeless condition unfortunately. I really hope I can return one day, maybe Steam Frame release will change anything, we will see.

Thanks for sharing that webpage with retro games, appreciated 👍

My main issue with this game is that it doesn't have a good balance, in my opinion.

In terms of multiplayer, there is no matchmaking and you can only play in lobbies, so you are either stomped by players with higher rank/skill or you have a mishmash of players of different skill levels in one match, which may be fun, but in most cases it's not.

In terms of gameplay, it feels like the game would benefit from balancing, but overall it's possible to play. The biggest problem is that there is a new overpowered Legion faction that people want to play because it's unbalanced, and while it isn't enabled by default, there are rarely any lobbies with this faction disabled.

Besides that, I don't really like the community. While there are nice players to play with, many are idiots - for example, I think a player is an idiot if they joins "NOOBS ONLY" lobby and then screams in chat that people don't know how to play.

Not talking about that most of lobbies are played on 2 maps while the game has like 50 different maps at least...

I think it could, I just need to spend more time figuring out how to do that correctly.

Sure, I will let you know once I manage to create such a visualization

I decided to leave more granular filtering for later

Hi, I managed to create a 3D visualization -> https://lemmy.zip/post/61777357

I tried a few modern fighting games but I don't feel it's my thing

I tried, but I didn't really like it, not sure why exactly

Hi, that's actually a great suggestion, thank you

Hi, no. You can also be here on Lemmy. Here is the link to the app -> app.gamescovery.com.

The reason I'm asking people to join our Discord or Lemmy is because:

1. The app is untested, so I want to improve it with the community's help before sharing the link publicly.
2. I want to receive feedback from users and invite them to our community. I thought it would be a good idea to ask people to join Discord or Lemmy first, so they have a place to share feedback when they try the app for the first time.

Hi, this is good feedback. I have a similar problem with algorithms like those on YouTube or Netflix because:

1. I don’t know what the algorithm thinks I like.
2. I don’t know how to influence it beyond liking or disliking things.

The same applies to Steam recommendations. I’ve noticed it tries to recommend games based on my wishlist, but the issue is that adding a game to my wishlist doesn’t necessarily mean I like it or want to play it, or want similar recommendations.

Would you be satisfied with a game recommendation algorithm if you could see what it thinks you like (e.g., your top 5 preferred genres or dislikes) and be able to fine-tune it to produce more personalized recommendations? For example, you could tell the algorithm that you like sci-fi and that it should prioritize sci-fi games.

Hi, thanks for sharing this website, I will take a look
