facebook status updates give some info into the malware warning:

We're looking into the issue with the site. At the moment we're not sure what's going on, but it would help if people could comment here and let us know what's happening when they visit the site. Be detailed! We're getting to the bottom of this.
We realize quite a few people are having their browser warn them about malware when visiting Explosm. Has anyone had actual malware forced onto their computer from the site recently, or just the browser alert? This is important to assess what's going on.
UPDATE: It looks like the worst thing happening to anyone is a browser alert. Nobody's reported actual malware so far. We've more or less pinpointed where the problem is coming from, but won't be able to fix it until Matt gets home. We don't know when that will be. Until then, the site appears to be 100% safe to visit but feel free to avoid if you feel safer that way.

Oh, and anyone who is asked to download a PDF called "crybabylike.pdf" from maccrack.ru, just ignore it. I downloaded it just to see what it would do (I like to live life on the edge), and the file itself doesn't exist, so I don't think it's a threat. Sorry about all of this, it seems to have come through via one of our advertisers.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.
