The info box at the top will now on bigger screen sizes be in multiple horizontal columns, instead of all down one vertical column. It will still collapse down on smaller screen sizes.
Just part of making better use of the space for those reading on desktop.
If you've not seen such a page before: click the game name tagged on most articles, it sends you to a page of our info on it including a list of all our correctly tagged articles with an RSS feed available for each.
This is in addition to the improved search bar from the other day.
More improvements planned, stay tuned. It all links together with the new anti-cheat page as well.

One idea: make a prominent link to this in the main header? I didn't even know this games database existed (outside of maybe clicking on a game from an article?). I'm sure I missed some news about it, but it'd just be more traffic for you as well.
I have a lot on my TODO list for them, with the first lot of changes going live like this across the actual game pages first to get them into a state where they're a bit more useful first.
Today for example I needed to completely change the link style for the actual game pages from:
/itemdb/id/
to
/itemdb/app/id/
To make it clearer in the code, and easier to do other sections properly. And update everywhere that links to games, so might be a broken link or two for a bit till i find them all heh.
All a work in progress :)
The idea, originally, was like a simplified SteamDB for the Linux audience, which I still think has its uses. Plus with each game having an RSS feed of our articles, helps people to follow easily or just look back at previous stuff we've covered.
Some stuff can be followed on the gitlab like:
