“But? Wait?” I can hear you saying, “Isn’t grumpygamer.com a static site built by Hugo? What dark magic did you use to get comments on the static site?”
No dark magic. But it does involve a small php script.
You can embed php in a hugo page and since grumpygamer.com is hosted on my server and it’s running php it wasn’t that hard.
No tricky javascript and since it’s all hosted by me, no privacy issues. All your comments stay on my server and don’t feed Big Comment.
Comments are stored in flat files so no pesky SQL databases. It only took me about a day, so all in all not bad.
I may regret this.
I’m only turning on comments for future posts.
Be nice!
P.S. I will post the code and a small guide in a few days, so you too can invite the masses to critic and criticize your every word. Good times.

Recently, I read some Thimbleweed Park dev diaries (playing the game AGAIN atm). It was nice to see the interaction between you and the users in the comments.
😂😂😂 Yeah... yeah you might 🙂
If the internet is consistent in one regard, it's this one 😬
Now let me tell you about this fine leather jacket that I'm selling.
I was so upset when they were removed because some people decided to be complete jerks.
Unfortunately Disney controls the Monkey Island IP. Getting RtMI was a real struggle.
Comments are back and a small game company listened to Guybrush when he said "Never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game".
Ron, what is preventing another episode if you already “broke” the wall for the first one? Is it a money thing or do they want to do something with the franchise themselves? Sorry to ask, can understand if you cant be specific about it
I wish it was that simple. Getting the first one done was climbing a mountain. A second one is climbing it all over again. Disney won't work with small developers, technically Devolver did the license with Disney and then contracted the work to us. Same thing with the remakes DF did, Sony did the deal with Disney and then contract with DF for the work.
While I love MI, it's not worth the hassle. I'd rather work on my own games.
It's a yt video. I can't put the whole address.
