normally it's easy enough to scroll by the curators section but that guy became my first and only ignored curator just because it's so irritating to me personally that such a no-effort gimmick is apparently pants-pissingly hilarious enough that it has 41 thousand followers and therefore gets shunted to everyone else on steam

ahahahaha it's astounding how bad valve is at this. porno games show up in various lists, just darkened out with a line slashed across that says "excluded by preferences". you can still see the title. motherfuckers, that's not how you filter out sexual content.

It's always been a good idea to put a lock on steam so the store wasn't accessible to your kid, but now it's a difficult question to say what age you can take the lock off.

Not that it really helps, but I think they said the blocked content only show up like that if there isn't any other content to put in the lists.

Weird, I was just thinking about that.

If I filter "nudity" or "sexual content" I'd filter out things like Metro Last Light or The Witcher 3.


But because I don't filter those tags I'm forced to see every single loving "Hentai Puzzle" and "Hentai Math" game there is.


I loving hate Valve.

Filtering out Sexual Content shouldn't filter out either of those games unless something's busted on that front, that tag was specifically created to differentiate games with sex/nudity and ones where it's a main focus. Of course not everyone tags those games properly so it's hardly a perfect solution but most "Hentai X" titles seem to have it at least.

"Sexual Content" is a real bad name for that tag though, they probably should've just gone with "Pornographic".

You have to wonder what went through the head of the person fleshing this feature out for implementation. "Hmm, so if an user has explicitly forbidden us to show them X, when and how should we show them X...? I know! We'll show them X when this unlikely scenario occurs so they're sure to not expect it, and we should also inform them that we knew they didn't want to see it!"

What kills me is that the Space Pilgrim series is a legitimately good adventure game. Sure, it was made on the cheap and doesn't look great, but the writing is actually solid and it's a charming set of games.

Does anyone know if there's a way to block specific developers or publishers? That would go a long way toward filtering out stupid poo poo, but I can't find a way to do it.

And the amount of VR games I get in my various lists with the VR tag blocked because I don't have a VR headset is just hilarious. Valve is so bad this.

i'm pretty sure there are a million other dating simulators to pull from for that spot

you can also get them if you spend a while looking at "related games" starting from one of the not-quite-porn anime tits games.



Personally I don't really give a poo poo, to me the difference between the not-quite-porn games and the new wave of ejaculate as a means of attack games is just the size of my :rolleyes: response. But I've been thinking about how much harder it will be for parents with kids. Particularly in whatever that age is where you're ok with them to see the store and have some independence about what they want, but would still prefer not to be exposed to hardcore pornography.

"Ignore this curator" is the best feature they added in the last year. If they're not going to clean up all of the obviously racist or bullshit "content curators," then at least let me block them all until steam gives me this slightly passive-aggressive message:

One of the worst things is that Valve claims the only thing they now care about filtering are their "game shaped objects" but there is literally no specific way to report such a thing.

This is a literal asset flip and there's no way to report it other than possibly "fraud."

What exactly is the appeal of laughing at badly-made porn games in this thread now that they are both allowed by the platform and common enough to no longer be unusual in and of themselves? The site itself allows it and most of the stuff you post is bad and weird on purpose and trying to be funny so there isn't even like some meta level to look down at it from. Posting a screenshot of of a sexualized anime game on a site that openly sells sexualized anime games and going "holy poo poo lmao this game has sexualized animes in it LOL" is just one layer of plausibile deniability away from :nws:https://local.theonion.com/ironic-porn-purchase-leads-to-unironic-ejaculation-1819565403:nws:
