err can anyone tell me what setting I must have changed in Edge that means I can no longer see any of @Bobtree’s Steam links - they don’t display at all. ie I can’t see anything. TIA.
They aren’t displaying in my Firefox either. Discourse issue, maybe?
Edit: But they seem to work in Chrome. Weird.
They’re still showing up in Vivaldi.
you’re right they are showing up in Chrome. Huh.
Vivaldi - well that’s my learning for the day!
Just to confuse things, I don’t see the links any more either and I’m on Vivaldi. Although at the moment I’m also on Linux so that presumably has something to do with it.

I’m on a MacBook using Chrome and see nothing!
I’m using Chrome on my desktop PC and do not see the last two entries either, they just look like blank posts. Edit to add: same for his post from 14d ago.
Here’s a Steam link to a game you may have heard of to see if a random game can be linked:

Had to turn off uBlock to see Bobtree’s links.
uBlock is blocking store.steampowered.com/widget, which is Bobtree’s links, but Charlatan’s link was apparently reparsed to match Discourse’s css instead of using the widget.
The definition for the blocking was under the “Ads” section in list “EasyList”. It looks like an update yesterday added the URI to that list, and another later one that removed it. SO if you update your uBlock filters all should be well.

I’ve only just now realised how truly awful uBlock’s icon-driven UI is.
Edit: okay, it does have mouse-over info, but the delay made me think it didn’t have any, so that’s something.
Dunno how @Bobtree create his links but when I want to link a game I go to Steam, click the ‘share this’ Reddit button, and copy the URL that’s generated in the new browser tab.
I have no idea how else to do this!
The widget Bob got is what you get when you just paste in a URL directly to the game listing in the Steam store.

Discourse being clever again I assume.
I’m on Firefox and I can see the widgets fine. No uBlock here.
Thanks, that worked. The general update didn’t at first, but I ticked the option to force easylist to update and then updated again.
I’m using the Brave browser and yesterday all Steam links were blocked. I got a message saying the link was blocked by an extension. I checked and didn’t see any that I had that would block it. This morning however, I can now see the links fine again. So, something has changed.
So this is funny, the steam things were showing up fine in Vivaldi. On mobile. On Desktop they’re blank. Hahaha.
It’s not even early access yet, and a year away from 1.0, but this looked interesting:
Looks artistically pleasing. Nookrium played a demo (available soon) and my main worry was the level of player agency. You seem to be exploring, but are you really on rails, just moving from battle to battle? (Which might not bother others, but I am sick of.) However, it is only a demo of level one, so there may be a lot more depth here. There is definitely some breeding of goblin characters.
(I tried to link Steam above, but cannot see that, once posted, at least on Firefox. I guess the issue already being discussed. But if you cannot see the link, the Steam blurb reads: “Overadventuring has wiped out 90% of the goblins in the wild. Lead these goblins in a desperate struggle to reverse their fate through this turn-based RPG crafted in charming hand-drawn 2D style.”)
Hero’s Hour looks to be pretty much a clone of early HOMM, with rather primitive graphics and one twist – continuous action battles. It’s free to try, so I aim to take it for a test drive.

I was so very close to being the video editor for the Goblin Stone trailer!
Having played some of the beta (what I believe will be the demo), there is a little branching on some of the proc. gen. levels and some broader choice on the map. I don’t think the demo will include any of the lair management or goblin breeding unless they were able to get all that into the latest build.
It’s a very pretty game and the combat has potential but I found the UI a bit clunky in places (likely because it’s still in active development) and, like you, wondered how satisfying the exploring/adventuring itself would be on a 2D plane. I really like the idea of playing goblins, orcs and trolls who have been driven to the brink of extinction by adventurers. One I’ll be keeping an eye on.
Turns out for me it is Adblock Plus rather than UBlock. Switch it off for QT3 and all good.
