2026-01-15 21:27:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe end of the year is upon us and unsurprisingly it got me in the mood for looking back. But the old History tab was a bit lacking. It was basically just a straight port from the old site, and I knew I wanted to go back and give it an overhaul at some point. So I decided to take a detour and do just that.
The main addition is you can now...
2025-12-20 19:16:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey hey! I'm back after getting laid up with COVID for a bit. Not any more enjoyable the 2nd time, I must say.
I had planned to make the next update the final Badges update. But since I got derailed by disease, I thought I'd give you a grab bag of small tweaks and a couple frequent feature requests to fill the void. Also cat! I have been ...

More badges and bug fixes this time. Here's the new badges!
Hello again! It's Saturday night, so I'm gonna keep this short.
This is a mostly prep work for some more badges, but also a bugfix update for some milestones and timezones issues. I hate timezones! Especially in a site with lots of old legacy data containing dates that have no time or zone info attached.
This should be a b...

2025-08-13 17:42:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey backloggers!
Got another quick, unscheduled update for you! Many site veterans continue to be confounded by the way platforms work on the new site. In an effort to get less emails about adding Switch 2 to the platform list, I'm pushing out this little update to embiggen the text on the +Game page informing users they can add platfor...

As mentioned in the last post, I've splitting up the previously planned update into smaller chunks to hopefully break my mental log-jam. This time the main addition is the new Likes system but there's several other small goodies people have been requesting below.
Enjoy! And thanks once again for all your patience an...
2025-05-12 19:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey Backloggers!
Just wanted to touch base again as I know it's been longer than expected since the last update.
I thought the Likes+Badges update would go relatively quickly, but unfortunately I've ended up having to rewrite a good chunk of the multitap code to get everything working to my satisfaction. Replies, for example, will ...
2025-04-25 22:44:21 +0000 UTC View PostHeya Backloggers!
Things have been a bit hectic lately so I figured I was due to give you all a little update.
I'm in the middle of transitioning from Windows 11 to Linux Mint because... I sure don't like the direction Windows seems to be going. And I've found I actually like Linux quite a bit. What's that have to do w...

I'm back with another batch of bugfixes. But the real story this time is an innocent question on Discord snowballing to a complete redo of the achievement icons, which you can see below. The main idea was to have a clearer progression for the icons.

Life is slowly getting back to normal here and I'm back with the 2nd, and perhaps final, game presentation poll!
This time the preview layouts show several games for each option and use various combinations of icons to give a more realistic sense of what each layout would be like in action. I've also laid out each option side-by-side in th...

I just wanted to touch base real quick since the follow-up to the Game Presentation poll is taking longer than expected.

More info with less clicking, that's the takeaway of a lot of the feedback I've gotten about the remake since launch. So it's no surprise that Game Presentation won the first Patron Poll. I promised to give you all a chance to be part of this redesign so here we go!2024-09-10 20:42:49 +0000 UTC

I was hoping to the Data Export update out today, but I've hit a few snags. Hopefully next week!
