Considering BF2042 racked up more views rhan any other trailer I saw, and is now the most anticipated FPS of the year, the lack of it getting any recognition is gob-smacking. It's easily the #1 game of the show for me.
That game was also not actually at E3... The ESA is not going to give recognition by way of their official awards show to games from publishers who explicitly chose to NOT be a part of their event. I can see where the confusion comes from, though, with EA borrowing some hype and revealing it around the same time.
While it was shown at Summer Games Fest, it was also shown at the Microsoft/Bethesda conference which is explicitly mentioned here.

Ayo where the HELL is Eldin Ring though, that one was a BOMB we all didn't expect to see!!!!...
That was part of Summer Games Fest which isn't technically part of E3.
Mine updated to 2004 the other day as well. Now it says No Internet on my Ethernet connection every reboot which makes Outlook refuse to get my work emails. I have to turn on and connect the wifi adapter for a minute or two for it to detect the connection, then I can turn off the wifi and it's fine on the Ethernet after that, go figure.
I saw reports of this happening when the patch was released last year so in the intervening 12 months they don't seem to have fixed it... it's really making me consider running Linux primary and dual booting / using a VM for Windows or switching to the LTSC version.

Unless consoles magically develop that amount of VRAM, it will be wasted. Developers, with rare exception, are going to target Series X and/or PS5 and a vast majority of people are still playing at 1080p. Outside of epeen measurement, it is functionally useless as it will spend a large majority of its life idle. By the time it may become useful this generation of card will be long in the tooth if not outright obsolete.
I'm not sure this is entirely true. I was checking dedicated video RAM usage while playing Horizon: Zero Dawn and it was up at over 10GB, so I think there will definitely be games that check how much is available and throw things into video RAM if there's space available to avoid the transfer from regular RAM/disk.
This could be a way for PCs to compete with Sony's claims to their SSD performance of the PS5 with all the dedicated decompression stuff going on to get things from the SSD into memory, while on PC you could just keep it in memory if you have enough.
Sure, I'd love a link.
It was my understanding Valve's Steam app doesn't let you buy games. However, it does indeed support this.
This has always baffled me with Steam on iOS. Apple has rejected Valve apps in the past that didn't follow some rule, but Steam somehow allows you to purchase games, bypassing Apple Pay, and I can't imagine Apple is getting a cut of those sales.
Thanks for getting this set up!
I've set up monthly support on Patreon & made a one time donation on PayPal and both worked great!

I'd love to be able to buy an Index but they haven't been available in Australia, and when I looked to import it myself they're not even available to order at the moment.
I'd happily pay $20/month to support this site with no reward necessary. I'd prefer Patreon since I already manage other ongoing donation things there but would be fine with a PayPal button to donate that is click occasionally when I remember.
No Groundhog Day celebrations down here in Australia as far as I'm aware.

Blue, please let us show more thanks to you by creating a Patreon (or similar funding tool) account.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Yes, let us throw money at you.

I usually blacklist any game that is an "Epic exclusive" because I don't support anti-consumer practices. (Disappointing sometimes, would have loved to play The Outer Worlds)
I wouldn't call The Outer Worlds an Epic Exclusive. It's also available on the Microsoft Store for purchase or with a subscription. Is it an exclusive if it's just not available on Steam?
I wish there was a way to buy an Index in Australia without importing it myself...
I noticed Zil in OotB had an issue with not being able to zoom in on mobile. That should be fixable by removing the maximum-scale part of the viewport meta tag. It looks like that tag is added by JS in bluesnews.js by the viewPortShuffle function.
For more info on why using maximum-scale can be bad: https://a11yproject.com/posts/never-use-maximum-scale/

On a secondary note. I'd love it (and I'm sure some others would) if there was a way to support the site more directly, sans ads. I block advertisements everywhere not because I want sites to die, but because companies that run ad networks can't be trusted to treat people with respect in my opinion.
A login on the site for ad-free viewing would be ideal, but a Patreon or PayPal would also be fine way for those of us that block ads but want to still support the site to do so.

I do get some issues on different browser sizes with just that setting applied through an extension I use for custom CSS so I had to tweak a few other things to get it to work well for me.
I don't normally browse full screen so I did end up making it a fixed width in my override file as it was a bit narrow normally and some things were wrapping.
I'm a fan of CSS grid for overall page layout but it's not supported on older browsers (older than about 2 years). It also would probably mean a bunch more changes to what's already been done without a huge benefit once some tweaks are done to what's on here now.

Just loaded it up on desktop.
The sidebar width could be adjusted with this CSS to make it a bit narrower on wide screens:
That will widen the main content area to fill the extra space.
On desktop it definitely feels more "normal, like the old style" to me at 90% zoom, but I'd definitely get used to the current sizing of text.

Works a lot better on mobile now. Yet to check it out on desktop. Thanks Blue & Frans!
Seems like EA is only available on Humble in some regions - in Australia I see the banner but no games. When I connect my VPN to USA they all appear.
It gets an internal server error on companies that have a "." in the name.
