I mean, emotional damages are a thing right?

Uhh class action incoming? $34,909,930,575.09 over here.

Puerto Rico is always left out of these analyses. AFAIK we are included in the same data sources (like dol.gov), so I'm always disappointing to see the exclusion.

I've been having a lot of fun building https://vgstack.app

It's yet another video game backlog tracking service but I'm building this one to automate as much as I can about the actual game logging process. So for example, I'm auto-forwarding all my Nintendo and PlayStation purchase emails to a custom inbox. That email gets parsed, the game(s) and date(s) are extracted, and I get a new queue item I can approve or deny easily on my phone. It also has a documented CRUD API for easy integration for other services (like Zapier).

Yes, it also has a chatbot... I've been toying with a natural language interface for quick actions like "just beat TOTK" to mark Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as "beaten". It's a bring-your-own-Gemini-key approach... So far, its working pretty well for me. It also supports basic questions about your game library and history that would be tricky to represent without a lot of filtering options. Like for example, "How many Switch games did I beat between March and July of 2024?". Fun stuff like that.

Tech stack is Django/HTMX/Alpine/DaisyUI/Postgres/self-hosted.

If you decide to try it out, I'd love your feedback! There's a quick in-product feedback widget on the bottom-left which sends me an email :)

"btw OP, the link doesn't work in your blog - there's some markup issues"

Whoops, thanks for catching that! Just fixed it, here is the link just in case: https://github.com/rnegron/WiiNewsPR/blob/11df0e242bb1f4134e...

"Does the Wii just accept any "signed" content? If so, wow, 2007 was a crazy time..."

Yup! I suppose they assumed that hard-coding the URL was enough of a safeguard!

For me, it's just such a nostalgic and pleasant to use interface. I still keep the Wii up and running to play some retro games every now and then (it's a great emulation system as well). Being able to learn more about how these "old-school" Nintendo web apps work was something I had been curious about for awhile!

Thanks, Sergio! Appreciate it. Was definitely fun getting it all working and seeing that familiar logo pop up on the Wii of all places!

Author here, thanks for sharing! Happy to answer any questions or discuss it with folks.

Such a fun project! ACNH's font is so pleasing to look at. Also, thanks for linking to the source code.
