Yup, that was the common suggestion I was finding, but no luck with it on or off.

Not the commenter, but...

I play tabletop RPGs (Pathfinder 2e for those care) online with some friends, and we use a website which hosts the program (forge-vtt.com).

For the life of me, I cannot get it to behave on Firefox. Maps will be pitch black while on Chrome they render perfectly. I've tried every permutation of browser setting and extension toggling I can think of to no avail.

Thanks for your generous spirit, brought a smile to my face.

Horizon Zero Dawn would be appreciated.

As an avid league of legends player...

Honestly, not only is league of legends the worst entry to start playing as a newcomer, it's also one of the worst games to learn about the lore in.

Champions who have never met each other in the lore are constantly facing each other in combat and making quips. Power levels are completely "wrong" - a literal creator dragon gets thoroughly thrashed by random humans with swords. Better introductions follow:

Legends of Runeterra (their online card game) is incredibly new player friendly and you can easily get everything you need without paying a cent. Plus the game massively fleshes out lore - every card represents something from the lore, there's always a quote or a description when you view the card art, it's great.

Ruined King was a very good RPG game which did a great job fleshing out the region of Bilgewater and the events leading up to the ruination.

Arcane was a brilliant animated depiction of Piltover/Zaun.

Literally, you're right - in Latin it means "not following". But in conventional usage, non-sequitur is more for things that are so completely out of place for the conversation.

Not a non-sequitur: "Okay, so based on this finding, [insert something topical but wrong]".

Non-sequitur: "Okay, so that's great, but Michigan beating Ohio State means this is irrelevant".

(edit because I did not realize the formatting I used for my non-sequitur example caused it not to render)

Would you mind elaborating on this? I just recently have been struggling with massive burnout at my job, amplified by being stuck on the same project by myself for 1 year+, team being understaffed, and inconsistent expectations from stakeholders.

 

I'm very new to the franchise but I beat Trails in the Sky 1 & 2 over the past month, and I loved them very much. It has been a long time since I have binged games like that.

However, I have quickly found myself struggling to stay engaged with 3 - it seems to be missing some spark that 1/2 had. I'm curious if it's known to have a slow start, if I'm just expecting it to be something it isn't, or if I'm just a fool for not being taken with it right away.

When there's a lot more traffic to this community (... it feels really weird not talking about subreddits), I think there's merit to tagging being the bare minimum here. But we are a long way from that, so I think whatever ends up drawing people here and starting conversations is a good thing.

For what it's worth, I didn't have many issues with Power Delete Suite
