There's an entry for "The Bard's Tale Trilogy" (1991) without any releases. A new remake was released this year, under that name. I have submitted it as a release, but because I'm "new" to the wiki, it's pending approval, and also I don't know if that's the best way to solve it.

The season is now complete, and the game is currently available at 50% off (~$15).

It used to be that I could reload the main page and see at a glance what was coming up.

Now there's no "Coming up" box at all. I can't tell if that's because there's nothing planned, or if I'm just missing it or it doesn't exist at all any more.

The "Coming up" box should always be present. If there's nothing planned, then have it say that.

Don't really understand the "Continue watching" thing storing things that you've watched > 90% of. What's the point of this?

I agree about the blog/follow people stuff above. To get any audience at all, you have to attach your blog to a forum too. So you attach it to something applicable where there is also activity, like 'General gaming', only for some admin to move it to a specific game's forum that has zero activity. In other words, there's literally no point writing about obscure titles, because your content will be moved to its forum, where it's effecively hidden.

When I look at my forum posts feed, there's nothing to click to take me directly to the actual post? So if I want to do an edit, or continue reading where I last posted, I can go to the topic easy enough, but then manually have to find the post. It's just weird. (EDIT: I guess the #js-message-8947396 anchor is supposed to work. I doesn't)

If I could disable elements on the front page I'd remove:

• "Continue Watching". Pointless.
• "Quick Looks". Pointless, already have "Latest"
• "Watchlist". Don't get the point of it.
• "Shows". Not how I find content. Also exists in menu if you need it.

Just to reiterate the most imporant point; I would make it so that the main page shows "Upcoming" prominently without needing scrolling.

Also I just noticed that the "delete" key doesn't work on some places in this text. <sigh>

I get that this isn't a thing you would think of, but with all this work going into the site, maybe we could finally get access to a real date-time format for representing absolute dates? No, I don't mean Swatch Internet Time. I mean not having to suffer under MM/DDisms, 12-hour clock times and all that old-empire weirdness.

If I mouse over the "Forums" menu it slides down. If I then slowly move my mouse straight down to pick a menu option, the menu disappears because I guess there's a little 'gap' between the menu bar and the box with the options. (Currently in Firefox 63 with 140% zoom) (Edit: I see this has been reported to death)

Also, all the sliding in/down, fading in is totally lame and puts questionable aesthetics above performance. Like having to click (not a mouse-over for once, an inconsistency we can cherrish) a 'download' arrow button to begin with, only to slowly get icons fading (loading?) in. Hopefully it's not doing individual RPC calls to figure out which formats are available, because that'd be dumb, but that's what that stuff makes it look like.

HTH.

I'm shift-reloading every half-hour. Haven't heard anything to suggest there isn't one this week?

"In this 2013 GDC session, 24 Caret Games' Matt Gilgenbach talks about the development of Retro/Grade and his new and healthier approach to indie game development."
