Cynical indeed, given that the first sentence in their comment is invalidated by the first sentence of the article. Kind of depressing how matter-of-fact people are about articles they clearly haven't bothered to even start reading.

Brother printers are really something. I recently replaced my old Brother laser with a new one and was surprised to find that it's just as "it just works" as the last one was (which was also surprising). I connected it to the

The #1 issue I've had with online VTTs is getting the VTT's grid aligned with the map's grid. I tried this with your solution and the problem was the same; it creates a grid and assumes the grid starts at the very edge of the

I have a 5800x and an RX 6800 XT - definitely not a low-end system - and this is the worst performance I've had in a game. I have a 4K display and use FSR2 with 50% (!!) render scale in order to maintain as close to 60 FPS as possible.
