Hey guys. Are you tired of reading this kind of stuff on your favourite gaming news website?

Well, here's a script you can use to filter all of it, changing Bluesnews back to a comfortable experience about gaming.

I temporarily turned off my script so that I may enter this topic and post this message for you all.

Again, I use TamperMonkey extension in my browser, Brave (chrome powered), but you may prefer another extension that let's you inject JavaScript onto websites.

Here is the script:

// ==UserScript==
// @name Bluesnews
// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version 0.1
// @description try to take over the world!
// @author You
// @match https://www.bluesnews.com/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
'use strict';

// Your code here...
setTimeout(function() {
var regexTerms = /(racist|confederate|misconduct|harassment|sexual|assault|sexism)/i;
var regexHeadings = /(Metaverse|Tech Bits|Safety Dance|Legal Briefs|Op Ed|Into the Black|etc\.|Out of the Blue)$/i;
var els = document.querySelectorAll("a");
els.forEach(function(el, idx) {
if (el.innerHTML.match(regexHeadings) || el.innerHTML.match(regexTerms)) {
var heading = el.closest(".posting");
if (heading !== null) {
var article = heading.parentNode.parentNode;
if (article !== null) {
article.parentNode.removeChild(article);
}
}
}

if (el.innerHTML.match(regexTerms) || el.innerHTML.match(regexHeadings)) {
var li = el.closest("li");
if (li !== null) {
li.parentNode.removeChild(li);
}
else {
el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
}
}
});
els = document.querySelectorAll(".article");
els.forEach(function(el, idx) {
if (el.innerHTML.match(regexHeadings) || el.innerHTML.match(regexTerms)) {
var article = el.parentNode.parentNode;
article.parentNode.removeChild(article);
}
});
},250);
})();


That's it!

If you find any news that still shows up, then pick a word from that and add it to the regexTerms list, separated by |

So can I use this code anywhere to make browsing the web a Kardash-iverse free experience?

Make This Moment a Turning Point - President Barack Obama

Once again a dad, husband, President and citizen makes a point that is beyond the comprehension of the orange stain currently squatting in the oval office.

I take issue with this. He's not squatting in the oval office, he's cowering in his bunker and threatening by tweet to release the hounds should anyone come onto the White House grounds.

I recently bought this game based on comments here recommending it. For that, I'd like to flip y'all off with BOTH hands. But I can't. My right index finger won't bend because of too much goddamned clicking!

Seriously though, it's been ages since I've been this obsessed with game. I'm looking forward to see what's in the new update.

Strange.

Both work fine for me in Opera.

Margarita's sound nice for Cinco de Mayo but for some reason I think I'm gonna go with a couple of Coronas this year.

All your base?

The video is absolutely priceless!

Anyone else seeing chinese symbols where there's an "apostrophe r" in text?

I saw it too. But it seems to have been fixed.

Sorry for your loss, Cutter.

Prez, I'm glad your still with us.

The “Rick and Morty” trailer is supreme.

I can't wait. It looks like Snuffles Snowball is back. The question is, is it an April Fool's joke?

I'm not sure if I saw the link here on Blues or somewhere else, but Samurai Rick showed up a day or two ago. Apparently, this was done in conjunction with Roiland and Harmon using the Japanese voice actors who dub the regular episodes.

DOOM Eternal sold so well it's listed twice?

Probably the usual separate listings for regular and deluxe editions.

I'm digging today's bullets on desktop.

If any GameStop employees are reading this you may want to put your applications in at Radio Shack, I hear they're hiring.

Ouch!

GOTY version for $5, or die.

/S

I was really excited for BL3. Then the Epic thing happened and I decided I'd wait until it hit Steam at 50% off. So here we are. Now, given the overall lack of enthusiasm from y'all who've played it, I may just hold off until the GOTY shows up in the bargain bin.

In the discussion of reminders for one time donaters, put me in the camp where you designate January or February for a pledge drive. As others have said, something like what Wikipedia does would be great.

Password Safe

Actually, I had 'a' password in my list but for some reason, Paypal didn't like it. So I went through the rigmarole of resetting it. But thanks for the link, I'll check it out since I do use a lot of the same passwords for various sites.

Without numbers anyone can say sells well, it's a good PR move if true or not.

From the article: "I was happy to see it performing well, selling about 200,000 copies already..." said Embracer's CEO Lars Wingefors about the Steam launch of Metro Exodus. Embracer Group is Metro Exodus publisher on PC.

Their initial price on Steam last week was $24. So, 200K * ($24 - (30% * $24)) means they made $3.36 million. If they could have sold those 200K copies for the $60 at launch when the game first came out, their take home would have been $8.4 million. So exclusivity cost them at least $5 million on unit sales. We do know that the game Control got slightly more than $10 million for Epic exclusivity. If Metro Exodus got that same deal, that means they gained about $5 million from the exclusivity.

Note: I don't know how many units Metro Exodus sold on Epic so I don't know the effect of Epic's 12% cut vs. Steam's 30%. I also have no idea how many possible sales were lost forever because people were steamed at 4A Games over the exclusive deal.

I don't think I could pick a single film as my all time favorite. But "Casablanca" certainly belongs near the top of the list of the best films ever made. Also the top for me is "Lawrence of Arabia" and for me personally "The Fountainhead" -- although I doubt "The Fountainhead" would be on most lists of that type.

Pssh, you guys and your "best films" lists. Everyone knows the best movie ever made is "Naughty Nurses 7."

+1 lol
