Weird artifact appears in darker backgrounds about cartridges HOT 3 CLOSED

This is not really an artifact. The current way of blurring the game covers for the background is simply downscaling it to 2x3 pixels and then upscaling it to fit the app. This doesn't really work for backgrounds with a lot of color variation so I will need to find a better algorithm.

I tested some things and changing it to 3x4 seems to reduce the issues a bit without impacting other covers.

I will probably just apply a blur later on as this still looks relatively weird. I have already implemented a way of doing it, I just need to optimize it.
