I could handle that if I wanted to on my site. Mind you, I pretty strictly collect CIB, so everything I add to my site IS CIB to begin with.

All of my games are in a database, yeah. I'm using Contentful for data management. I could easily export all of my content in a json format easily.

If you have data in a spreadsheet, it's actually pretty easy (relatively speaking) to translate the data and import into a CMS. I made a function to do so just last week for a project I'm working on at work. 7700 Google Maps markers!

Sorry but there's uh... Already a uh... I already posted...? *deletes your post to make my own*

I've seen your site before. Love it!

Yeah the style of the site is honestly basically bottom of the list for me. I'm a typical developer, I'm more interested in the data and logic. I tossed bootstrap on it, it runs on Vue (Nuxt SSG), and I made some basic styles that work for me, personally. Basic is nice for me, the alt with me is brutalist design and nobody wants that in a functional tool lol. It's bordering on functional brutalist as-is hah.

Be sure you do! Even before there's anything to share, if you have made any progress I'd be interested. Tech Stack, CMS choice if you're using one and not hand-rolling it, etc. All very interesting to me!

GlovesOff.Games Anybody else do this? If not, what's your preferred collecting software? I finally caved after years of using Backloggery because I want more control over the flow of information. With a site I've built myself obviously I have the most control possible, and I can style it however I want without worrying about pleasing anyone else. A fun side note is that it's all entirely free; it costs nothing to host the site aside from owning the domain, which is $12/year. It has a very powerful CMS behind it too (content management system), also free of course. Thoughts on my current site? Suggestions? It's a work in progress and I have plenty planned, but I'm always open to ideas of course! Here's the code repository since a few people have asked: https://github.com/DouglasKGlover/gloves-off-games If you'd like to run your own version of this you can, and I'd be happy to help you set it up.

I considered doing the same, but I find the cases ugly. *shrug*

Price only becomes relevant really if you decide you want one. Then it's a matter of "Boy I wish I bought it then...".

Yeah they're like $6k now, maybe more? I've not seen a sale in a while; 2500 total were made.

@Code Monkey I scrolled up from the bottom so I was about to tell you to get your ass back there and buy that Skill Kid F4F statue. Then I saw that the photos were taken in 2008. T_T

Agree.

He gave a brief version here:

To be FAIR! That'd be just about THE stupidest thing they could possibly do right now, with so many eyes on. If I have a history of car robbery, and someone is saying I robbed their car last week, I sure as hell ain't gonna go Rob a car THIS week! I mean that'd be STUPID! ... ... Yeah.

I'm mad-erna wasp at a picnic!

Even MORE damning, we may have cracked the case on this "Bronty" person's name! "Dan" confirmed!

Yeah I mean that's what scraping is, so. It's viewable. You can't go and like, copy it down in a database format or anything. But if you're nostalgic for a game, or really curious about something specific on a certain game or whatever, the info is (mostly?) there in the same way as it was 3 years ago, visible the same way you'd have seen it then. It's a combination I think of "it is what it is" and "good enough". Best we can hope for without Dain probably breaching his contract with GoCollect (if one was written) and/or risking being sued for sharing data he'd sold in the past.

God I hope not.

Hmmmmm. Now that you mention it, maybe yeah. I might be hockey ambidextrous. Canada, eh?

I've got something in my front pocket for yoooooou... It's Trip World on the Game Boy!

Yo what the heck is this? CIVILITY!? BANNED!
