the changelog

Before your wrapped exists, the dashboard counts down in duels now, not games: about how many more it takes until your taste gets its name.

Once every game in your library has dueled once, the arena leans towards the matchups other players fight too, and towards the showdowns people look up. Your ranking learns the same either way, but a versus page gets to say how the players who saw both side by side chose.

Your cards on the dashboard are a mosaic now, and six 9:16 stories join the eight squares: your library by the numbers, your #1, the hours you sank against the games you love, how contrarian you are, your backlog of shame, and the summary.

A public profile now tells you how close your taste is to its owner's: sign in, and the match block shows the share you have in common, read off the games you both ranked.

Your public profile is your wrapped now: the name your ranking earned, your top three, the days of playtime in your library, how much of it you never launched, where you stand among the most contrarian players here, your backlog of shame and the whole ranking as S to D tiers.

Your dashboard opens on your wrapped: your taste in a line, your top three and your hottest take, with a box to show it off beside them. The link, Reddit, X, Discord and your Steam profile are one tap away, and a 9:16 story image joins the square cards.

New accounts start with a public profile. The switch to go private sits in the same box; everyone who already chose keeps their choice.

Boosting has closed. No game can be paid into a spot anymore: the king of the hill is gone from the home page, the sponsored row is gone from the boards, and every placement you see is earned by duels alone. Tips stay, and buy nothing but the server bill.

Every game page has a bookmark button now. Mark a game to come back to it, and your dashboard keeps the shelf.

A versus page answers the question first: the headline says which game players like more, and a new bar shows how the players who ranked both split between them. The verdict is read out in words under the charts, the tags both games share link to their best-of lists, and the other showdowns either game is in follow.

You can now say why. The top and the bottom of your full ranking ask what carried a game so high or what held it back. Once three players have spoken, a game page shows what players liked and what kept it from ranking higher, and every word gets a page of its own.

Your dashboard opens on an overview now: your five most and five least loved games at a glance, the full boards one pill away.

The most played list has closed. It ordered games by how many people were on Steam right now, which the most loved board answers better: what everyone plays tends to rank high anyway, and the board says how much people actually like it.

canihazpatch has closed. Feature requests never found their crowd there, so its address now leads here and needmoar.games is the only site.

Your recommendations now lead with underdogs: you are placed among twelve kinds of player learned from everyone's rankings, and the shelf shows games your kind loves far more than everyone else does, that few people here have ranked at all.

Game pages now have a "let's plays" shelf: videos of people playing the game, with the channel named on every tile, next to what the press wrote about it.

The home page is the machine now: a switched-on hero with the duel loop running beside it, and all four community boards behind one high score table you flip between.

New look, everywhere: square corners, hard drop shadows, stamped mono labels and segmented bars. The site is built like an arcade cabinet instead of a dashboard.

New browse page: one front door to every way the rankings can be cut, by tag, by genre, by release year and by community board, reachable from the header on every page.

Removed the third-party key-shop links from game pages. The only store we point at is Steam.

Rebuilt the game page around what people come for: the score and what it means first, the charts and shelves below, all of it readable on a phone.

Game pages link out to articles and videos written about the game.

Press widgets: any site can now embed a game's community verdict as a badge, a bar or a score card, updated hourly. The how-to lives on the press page.

"Similar games you own" now leans on what the whole community pairs together, not just on shared Steam tags, so the shelf surfaces games that play alike rather than games that are labelled alike.

Game reports for developers, publishers and journalists: a written PDF plus every underlying table as CSV, all of it aggregated so no single player is identifiable.

"Your taste, wrapped": a written portrait of what your ranking says about you, generated from your whole scored list, that you can save as a share card.

Reworked the profile page. Your top games, your taste and your stats now sit on one page instead of scattered across three.

Everything loads faster, above all the leaderboards, the best-by lists and the game pages.

DLC, soundtracks, demos, tools and other non-games are kept out of the lists, the rankings and the duels.

A design pass over the whole site: the same spacing, colours and cards everywhere, so the pages finally look like one product instead of a dozen.

Achievements: receipts for what you have actually done here, starting with your very first duel.

A taste breakdown that names the tags and genres you consistently rank above the rest, and the ones you quietly bury.

Mute a game to keep it out of your own duels. Personal, reversible, and it never touches the game's public score.

The duel arena got stakes, a run board and live toasts, so a session of duelling reads like a run instead of a form.

Coverage and accuracy: see how much of your library is actually ranked and how settled that order is, and sweep the rest in one mode.

Power search: stack tags, exclusions and release years over the ranked catalogue, then reorder it by love, hate, controversy or your own taste neighbours.

Adult-only titles and non-game software no longer show up in lists, search or duels.

A features page that lays out everything the site does, top to bottom.

Game pages show which games you already own are closest to the one you are looking at, by tags and by taste.

A most-recently-duelled feed, so you can see what the community is arguing about right now.

A public stats page: how many people are here, what they do, and what it costs.
