Et tu, Disqus?

Up until last week, I was using Disqus to have commenting on the posts, but I never realized integrating Disqus in the blog was force displaying ads. Checking on Disqus’ website, I see that I can disable the “In-thread” and “Below Comments” ads, but the “Above Comments” ads are blocked behind a premium subscription.

Since there is no reason for me to be currently paying for a premium of a service that I barely use, and displaying ads are not an option, I went ahead and disabled it. I am most likely to explore the possibility of self-hosting an open source solution that can do the same thing, but I will write a proper update when I have it all figured out.

Adding a Game Review Board

I recently decided to document my general opinion on the games that I’m playing. I guess it’s just the “you need to always be creating something” voice in my head that I can’t shut up. Currently I am finishing up reviews on 4 different games, and I thought it was a good idea to revamp the way I present them.

So, in addition to the “Game Score” board at the bottom of every post, I also created a separate page to have a summary board of all the games and their scores.
