  • β€’Fixed a bug in the functions for checking AMP server status that was causing the server cards to not show up.

Feb 26, 2026

Bug Fixes

  • β€’Fixed a bug with TotBot that would make him only try to sign in to Discord once after a restart or power cycle resulting in him never coming online.

Version 1.4.2

Feb 19, 2026

Bug Fixes

  • β€’Fixed a sorting bug that wasn't using Discord's game activity as a status indicator for being online resulting in people who are playing games and reporting as such on Discord to show underneath people who are offline.
  • β€’Fixed a bug with recommendations filters releasing filters that would show any games +7 days from now only for the week and +30 days from now as the month. This has been adjusted the use a Sunday-Saturday and calendar month schedule.
  • β€’Fixed a bug in Stats where Discord activity was being stored even if there is a Steam game with the same name.
  • β€’Fixed a bug where RAWG icon fetching was happening after db.close() happened, which resulted in icons not being applied to the database.

Version 1.4.1

Feb 17, 2026

Updates

Game Recommendations

  • β€’Added dynamic filtering to better find games based on specific parameters.
  • β€’Filters for max price, min/max players, show only multiplayer, free, or on sale games, genres, as well as the ability to hide all unreleased games.
  • β€’There is also a filter to show which games are releasing this week or this month.
  • β€’'This Week' and 'This Month' toggle - clicking the active one turns it off, clicking the other swaps to it.
  • β€’'Releasing' filters and 'Hide Unreleased' are mutually exclusive - toggling one clears the other since they're contradictory.
  • β€’'Multiplayer' clears the player range inputs since they'd conflict.
  • β€’With the genre filter, there have been new tags added to game cards that show the Steam derived genres
Updates

Stats

  • β€’Updated TotBot to pull Discord game activity, track it, and add it to the database.
  • β€’With this new table in the database, the Stats page will now show what games aren't tracked on Steam to show a fuller picture.
  • β€’Added API integration for RAWG.io to pull game icons that don't have Steam IDs
  • β€’This is in a testing phase right now. Need to collect data to make sure it actually works
Updates

Online Now

  • β€’Now shows rich presence activity (if game supports it) when hovering over game.
Updates

Game Servers

  • β€’Server cards now have a 'Start Server' button if the server is down. This allows anyone to start a server for any we have created to play in.
  • β€’There are now automatic handling of servers as well. If no one has been in a server in 3 days, the server will go down to preserve RAM and CPU usage on the machine.
Updates

Changelog

  • β€’Added a 'Copy for Discord' button that preformats the notes for Discord markdown

Version 1.3.0

Feb 13, 2026

New Features

Comms

  • β€’Added a new page 'Comms' that uses a Mumble (voice chat) integration and the relocated Matrix (text chat) component to make a quasi-Discord Lite
  • β€’Matrix still requires a free account
  • β€’Mumble doesn't. You can log in with just a username and no password. Or you can create an account if you want.
  • β€’The plan here would be to use one component instead of 2 solutions that would totally emulate Discord. I am already using Element for Matrix, and I think it supports voice chat in some capacity, as well as channels. So I just need to play around with it more first.
Updates

Home

  • β€’Removed Matrix chat component (moved to Comms page)
Updates

Global

  • β€’Added skeleton loading states to all components
Bug Fixes

  • β€’Fixed bad API call for Recommendations that was crashing the server

Version 1.2.0

Feb 12, 2026

New Features

Game Recommendations

  • β€’Added a new page 'Recommendations' that uses @TotBot to pull in all of the recommendations we post in ⁠game-recommendations but ignores the FreeStuff bot posts.
  • β€’Displays as a grid of cards with information about the game such as how many players it supports, the current price, and how many 'points' it has.
  • β€’Points are based on how many times it's been posted in the channel, how many reactions that post had, and if anyone replied to it. Usually, taking all of these into account means that it's a game we want to play because we talked about it multiple times.
  • β€’You can also upvote a game in this view to give it more points. Note: The voting is IP locked. So once you vote for a game, you shouldn't be able to vote for it again. I say 'shouldn't' because with my luck, I am sure something is broke and someone will figure out how to vote a bunch on one.
  • β€’Has functionality to mark a game as already played, which moves it to the Archive section. This is locked behind a password for right now.
Updates

Game Picker

  • β€’On @Autumn in August's great suggestion, I added a way to filter the games before spinning. So if we don't want to play specific games or only want to play specific games but can't decide, you can click 'Filter' to select/deselect games and then use the picker.
Updates

Global

  • β€’Adjusted some styling throughout site and added skeleton loading states for most components
Bug Fixes

  • β€’Fixed bug where refreshing the home page on a mobile browser while logged into Matrix chat would force the page to scroll down to the Matrix chat component.

Version 1.1.0

Feb 11, 2026

New Features

Availability Calendar

  • β€’Added a 'Who's Gone' component to the left side of the home page. Now we can add when people are going to be gone and everyone can see what schedules are.
  • β€’Click '+ Add Absence', pick your name, dates, and add a reason if you want
  • β€’Deletion of added events is done by me right now, but the plan would be to add in a way for whoever added it to be able to delete it. I also can delete the inevitable dumb shit that Jason adds to this.
New Features

Chat

  • β€’Added a chat component to the right side of the home page.
  • β€’I know that Ari said this as a joke, but in my looking for Discord alternatives, I stumbled upon Matrix. It's a decentralized platform for communication that supports a lot of the main stuff we do with Discord. And there are already pretty robust clients built on the framework. So I made a server in Element which is just one of those clients, and implemented it.
  • β€’It does require you to make a free Matrix account. But other than, it's pretty easy. And I don't expect us to use this, but it is cool to have it built to see if it was possible. Plus if we ever NEED it. We can expand upon it.
Updates

Lij Tracker

  • β€’Added session tracker as of Feb 11, 2026. So now everytime Lij plays, it will add to the session and add up the amount of time.
  • β€’Added complex logic for when this fires so that when we all play together, it doesn't count as Lij practicing.
Updates

Online Now

  • β€’Added an integration from the RetroAchievements API to show when I am playing a retro game. I really just wanted to see if I could
  • β€’Rich presence integration from RA. You can hover over when I play a game on my retro handhelds and see the rich presence from the game. This is really a set up to see if I can do the same thing for Discord RP in the future.
Updates

Game Picker

  • β€’Added a global spin counter. So now whenever anyone spins the picker, it will be added as a persistent count
Bug Fixes

  • β€’Fixed Lij Tracker to add Discord status so that if Steam is set to invisible, it will still show in the tracker. Thanks for finding this @π•†π•€π• π•‚π•π•–π•ž !
  • β€’Fixed timestamp in footer getting stuck on 'Loading...' when you navigate between pages or let the page sit too long.

Version 1.0.1

Feb 10, 2026

Bug Fixes

  • β€’Adjusted display logic of Online Now section. There were 2 problems with it before. One was that it was using Discord's Idle status as an online indicator, but not showing as online. This would result in someone who was Offline showing above someone who was actually Online. The second issue was that there really was no sorting at all. You would have someone who was just Online above someone who was actively playing a game, which made no sense. The new sorting order is Playing + Voice > Voice only > Playing only > Just online > Offline.
  • β€’Online now was also mapping Steam IDs to Discord usernames. But this doesn't work when you have someone like Jason constantly changing his name. So I changed the mapping to Steam IDs to Discord User IDs.
  • β€’Lij tracker should now work. Hard to test without Lij playing, but I just ended up using my Steam ID to test and also relaxed the rules for how it was looking for Golf as the game.
Updates

  • β€’Server status cards now have a 'click to copy' for the server address. So if you are extra lazy, you can click the card, it'll copy the address to your clipboard, and then you can paste it in whatever game's server browser.
  • β€’Server status cards now have a tooltip when you over players. The intention for this will be to pull in exactly what player is in the server. Right now, it is just returning player number, because as far as I can see, Hytale doesn't expose the actual player names yet. Will keep looking at this to see if it changes or I am missing something
  • β€’Header on smaller screens, like mobile browsers will adjust so that the Putater Tots text will disappear allowing the nav items to fit in header.
  • β€’Footer date/time was in UTC. This has been changed to use the time zone that the computer viewing it is in.
  • β€’Footer also now stacks the 2 elements on mobile browsers
  • β€’Picker page now responds better on mobile, so you shouldn't have to scroll down to hit the button.
