WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LIKE?

CloseHey I have a question about RMN's RCA (Recommendation Curating Algorithm, you guys remember that minute in time when CBSs with really long acronames were the thing de rigeur in rm) I mean that's the fancy name I came up with for "how and why you recommend me other games when I download a game".
It said "Other users who like Castle of the evil witch, also like" and then there was a list of games (Escalia, etc.). Castle of the evil witch as of my downloading it has ten downloads and a one star review. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that literally no one likes it or has ever liked it (I hope the creator never reads this because I don't mean that the way it might be taken, in the mean spirited way) for any reasonable metric of like but what the heck exactly is a "like" in this specific case anyway?
please and thanks you.

As far as I know, yeah, the list or "recommended" games that it generates when you're on a download page is tied to what playlists that the game in question is on. A lot of users have unsorted playlists (ie: they just throw everything they want to play, or have played, on a list), which is why you sometimes get some unrelated/questionable results.
*Edit: I think this has been brought up at least once before. There might have been a suggestion of replacing the "on the same playlist" metric with a "games that share maybe at least three tags" metric, but, I don't know where that is in priority in whatever else we're looking at when it comes to improving RMN.

it's, like, whatever you want it to mean, man.
(truth be told we don't have a complex algorithm or advanced AI here at RMN. It is based primarily on the playlists and frequencies. So it depends heavily on playlist curation by our memberbase. It also looks at the game's tags and other games that use the same tags)

If I recall you have to complete all the other endings (or at least one of them?) and then there will be a dog key somewhere that leads to that room.

This thread is two months old. But I just want to say that now whenever I think about the internal mechanics, politics, administration, or moderation of this website, the first (and often last and only) image to come to my mind is the dog from the joke ending of SH2. The dog is kentona, the nonsense machine it's operating is this entire website and its userbase.
