The Illustrious Idea / Give me more stats
« on March 19th, 2020, 04:34 PM »
Hi.

Could we have more stats for offers? Like quantity in general, per store, per bundle, fulfilled wishlists, etc.

Stats are pretty cool, and something unique to this website. I like to check them from time to time. I'm sure it brings more value to the website. Probably something that people don't know they need.

Also the ability to generate graphs for your own profile, like wishlists, tradables, etc would be immense imo. With a signature generator it could be a good addition to people who like to compete in stats, ala steamladder, completionist, etc. But obviously focused on trades.

PS: I've noticed I'm top poster wth!

I noticed a few exclusive steam bundles that include a GOG game or two:
https://lestrades.com/bundle/7800/ - Space Robinson: Hardcore Roguelike Action

This messes up the stats not only mine, but site's too.

I was thinking about the login cookie expiring. Perhaps they do it because of security, since it requires my steam guard to login again. Although, all other websites that use steam login will stay logged (including this one) :hmm:

Sharing here, that since a few days ago when I clicked on my messages it wouldn't open. I realised it was my adblocker. Disabling it resolve the issue.
It is odd, since are no ads on the website.

I've noticed the font changed recently. Not entirely convinced! I think the old one was better and smoother.

Trove is a good addition, but sadly the interface is just not there. It is a bunch of games thrown together in what it looks like a photo viewer.

I wonder why they don't do the monthly, but include options for ebooks or music.

Controversial decision just to attract more subs. Not surprised given they are no longer dependent, but part of J2 Global.

I understand that. Well if you change your mind, I've also heard good things of Hetzner

Yeah I think you should give it a try. VPS are cheap nowadays. No need to use an 8 year old server.

Linode have good prices

When steam is slow and doesn't work, and you go to Lestrade to check the wishlist.
Thanks for being here 'D

Btw... their website kicks me off every 2 weeks or so. I have to login again every time. So annoying!

I didn't mean to suggest to remove them from the DB. They are useful on their own right. But most of the stuff I would expect to be able to ignore permanently from the the comparison.

Yeah, I've used that before.
But are the buttons functioning as you expect? If only I could ignore these, because I honestly don't care about the junk.

One thing I noticed is when I compare the Library to Barter, Lestrades actually adds the bundle packages/collections, which is super cool.
However I notice that some of the items are being incorrectly recognised as not having there. For ex:
https://lestrades.com/game/1038/
https://lestrades.com/game/17362/
https://lestrades.com/game/4595/
The actions are not persistent, and when ignore is pressed it reloads the page and back to square zero. Once I do the comparison again, it shows up again. Same when I press to remove item from library, like demo games. Which is a bit silly.

There is no way I can remove this game from its game page
https://lestrades.com/game/39365/

For some items, there is no way to add it on Barter :/
https://barter.vg/i/57696/

Concluding... although these problems are exclusive to Lestrades, it is a good thing. The database is more complete and has every little thing that we own. Thanks for putting up the work on that!

Oh that's unfortunate. Why would he do that. Doesn't barter scrape ITAD too?
Perhaps many of the people who contribute to ITAD also do it for Barter and Lestrades (yourself is a good example). Isn't that a shoot in the foot?

There is always a possibility of scraping reddit

Creating this topic to record missing bundles. I love lestrades when it comes comparing bundles, as it is easier to see which games I have and which I am interested in.

I couldn't find the jackbox party 2019 from humblebundle
