  It is pretty hit and miss on the quality of the xbox title ID matching but I finally got my first hit. I'm a bit limited because I don't have gamepass so I'm just poking away at free titles. But I did get Phantasy Star Online 2 showing up as a suggested game when I installed it. Great success! This update will bring Live Locator support to Xbox Games on your PC. #TempusGameIt

  #WoWForever is Vanilla with improvements. Learning herbalism in the Valley of Trials?! My 20 minutes cruising around certainly has me interested in seeing more. The UI improvements (panels mainly) are nice and I think I'd be interested in seeing them transfer to modern/retail as well. #WorldOfWarcraftForever

  You didn't hear this from me, but live #xbox session tracking should be running now in #TempusGameIt. No more nightly batch processing! We track something like 5k titles, so there's a good chance what you're playing will be picked up and logged. If you've got an xbox and want to try it out, log into the website, edit your profile, and connect your xbox account. That should be all that's necessary to start seeing your xbox gaming sessions show up. https://tempusgameit.com

  Ongoing session changes have been migrated for the website and REST API. A quick smoke test looked good with backwards compatibility. I'll let the backend sit overnight to make sure there aren't any problems and then push the updated client in the morning. #TempusGameIt

  Totally scrapped the old ongoing sessions implementation that I had just brought up to snuff. I then went and reworked the existing session infrastructure to add in support for `IsOngoing`. It’s honestly the right solution but I wish I would have realized that sooner. I’ve been ironing out client side submission bugs and testing is looking good in dev. The goal of features over the next few weeks is cumulative. One feature should set the stage for the next. #TempusGameIt

  @kevin I pushed last night and wrapped up the trading post for August. I made my way to the Coiled Isle and am starting to unravel the story there. #WorldOfWarcraft

  Really starting to get some mileage out of the common UI library that I added a while ago to #TempusGameIt. It's pretty nice to have one set of UI components that can get re-used across both the website and client app.

  I talked about it a bit last week, and I'm happy to announce that the latest features to drop in TempusGameIt are tracking of session "source" and "execution environment". Source is how the game was located—Steam, a folder, GoG, Epic Launcher, etc. Execution environment is fixed now to “local” but that won't stop us from pushing onwards toward GeForceNow support and SteamDeck support. Updating to the latest build will start populating these fields for you. #TempusGa...

  You've done it y’all! I'm out of the Top 10 for this week! I couldn't be happier! #TempusGameIt

  Waiting for a flight and am bored. Here's the top features in the pipeline: 1. Fresh new local client's game page 2. Add idle detection to linux 3. For launcher locators, automatically detect newly installed games (no need to scan when new stuff is installed) 4. Add GeForceNow support 5. Track and log installation source (Steam, GoG, etc) 6. Track and log environment (local, cloud) 7. Multiboxing support Got anything different you'd like to see? #TempusGameIt

  I fixed that annoying bug in #TempusGameIt where, when scanning, the progress bar would actually go backwards at points. No more going back in time now; the bar should now move continuously from the left to the right.

  Latest release added announcements to the #TempusGameIt client. Get news and updates in the app now! I’m not going anywhere here, but this feature gives coverage for anyone who may not be connected on socials or the discord. https://tempusgameit.com

  Taking inspiration from different game launchers to brainstorm a new view for game details in the #TempusGameIt client. I think the current design falls a bit short. This was most noticeable when talking about publishing screenshots. It seemed like this feature wasn't very well known, which I blame on bad UI.

  Hello all #TempusGameIt users! Recently we hardened the authentication flow resulting in a more secure experience for you. Part of this effort lead to changes on the client that need your action. We will be deprecating the older, less secure flow on the first Monday in September. What should you do between now and then? It's very simple! 1. Update to the latest version of the client (anything after 1.73.0) 2. Log out 3. Log in That’s it! As always, let me know if you have questions!

  Keeping our foot on the gas around screenshots! I've wanted this for a while now, and with the redesign around screenshots on the rest of the site, it made the site-wide screenshot page an easy lift. This update also includes a bit of polish around the screenshot tiles across the site, with the goal of making them feel more distinct and tactile. Take a peek at https://tempusgameit.com/screenshots and let me know what you think! #TempusGameIt

  #TempusGameIt screenshots are getting a big glow up! I've disliked the display design for a while, so I decided it needed a fresh look. Also included, you can now delete screenshots as well, so if you accidentally took a pic in game of an embarrassing fail you can now delete it! Many thanks to @welshtroll@gamepad.club for the delete suggestion, which led to the whole new look. Try it out and see! You can always take a look at my profile for a heaping helping of screenshots: @kevin@tempu...

  Where did the weekend go?! Drove an hour each way for a birthday party yesterday and today spent most of it at the local water park. And then slept it off. And now it is time to wrap up Sunday and I don’t know what happened to time.

  #TurbulentTimeways is up in #WorldOfWarcraft and I may have binged a little bit yesterday. It's always nice to get a new set of dungeons in the Timewalking rotation and was fun to revisit some of the Dragonflight ones. Leveling my troll priest to 90. We hit 85 last night. Why not level another priest separate from my Lightforged that is already 90? Different faction, different server, different guild I suppose. :)

  May or may not have seen #EverQuestLegends added to #TempusGameIt. I do notice that they use the same executable as #EverQuest--mainly `eqgame.exe` which should be fine, but will now probably prompt review hits when scanning. But there's not much to be done there. https://tempusgameit.com/games/6a457bd1c06ebd0e1ef8428c

  @Sivation@wandering.shop @Dr_Bombay@mstdn.social Forgive my ignorance, but surely they come prefilled with books right? Otherwise that item limit would be destroyed.

  I've lately enforced a zero tolerance policy in #LOTRO for people filling world chat with lyrics from songs from the 80s and earlier. Reciting Queen lyrics? Ignored. Reciting Eagles lyrics? Ignored. If I wanted to see that, I'd open spotify.

  New #TempusGameIt blog post here explaining the new welcome flow recently released. I tried to detail the problems that I saw with onboarding and how we went about solving them. https://blog.kevinbrill.com/2026/05/being-more-welcoming.html

  Lots of feels on the passing of Ted Turner. I watched Hawks games on TBS as a kid in the 80s and early 90s and then through random chance, ended up working at Turner Broadcasting for 15 years. I met my wife there. Worked out in the basement of the Mansion (the brick building with the columns you’ll see in the all pictures). Ordered a Ted’s Montana Grill veggie burger the night my wife and I moved into our first home together. RIP Ted. You directly shaped my life.

  Low fanfare update to #TempusGameIt this morning. It includes: * A welcome screen to help new users learn the basic details of app and get started * An update to the Add button on the catalog, so it is more prominent and clear on purpose * Assorted socket fixes in an attempt to help improve some poor update behavior * A fix for detecting running Steam games on Ubuntu As always, feel free to check us out at https://tempusgameit.com

  I made it to the part of #Pathfinder Kingmaker where I'm now running a barony. I had an idea that this was coming, but haven't seen this kind of "let's change the game after a significant time investment” since #AgeOfConan. I'm going to give it a little bit of time still, but I kinda just want my little party going out and whacking critters and collecting loot and pursuing the big bad. Maybe it'll get there, but I guess I need to work through the kingdom management par...
