News And Changelog

Here's what's new.

Changelog

  • November 6th, 2022 - Re-wrote website backend to support no javascript entirely; including an option to select this mode specifically at your discretion. Major change is that without javascript on by default, the button used to open the menu wouldn't work. The new, javascript-free mode therefore uses an entirely different menu. This should also help on mobile phones where pressing the menu button doesn't open the menu or otherwise resets the page. This is actually a huge update; I had to modify every single page for this!
  • December 22nd, 2020 - Added entirely new page, about Back 4 Blood, since I have some interest in it and the differences they've gone with between it and Left 4 Dead.
  • December 22nd, 2020 - Backend code change that prevented lists other than the changelog from being read.
  • December 22nd, 2020 - Re-instated Overwatch Settings page, with underlying page code mostly having been fixed. Updated the more critical settings to be up to date.
  • December 22nd, 2020 - Broad CSS changes across all themes to improve appearance of some elements that either defaulted to the normal theme or needed a theme specific look due to some of the new pages/page changes.
  • December 22nd, 2020 - Finally fixed Pixel Art page from properly having CSS on any theme other than default.
  • November 2nd, 2020 - Updated Left 4 Dead 2 page with changes that occured due to version 2.1.0.0 of Left 4 Dead 2 (Last Stand Update).
