I've used Slides regularly for over a decade. No change or new feature has bothered me more than "Beautify this slide" popping up over and over. It changes the frame size, and moves everything. Plus, when I'm in the middle of changing or editing something and it pops up and everything shifts, it makes me think I did something. I really f***s up my work flow.

It's like the worst pop-up ad. And it does it constantly. I've started filling out a "Help Improve Google Slides" forms when it happens. I've probably sent dozens by now. I hate it so much, I've started training myself on PowerPoint (which I hate even more, but might have to get used to).

I got through every boss (except the Babbling Priest) and Darkest Level 1 without any walkthroughs. I did start looking at the wiki to prepare for fights, but in general, I felt like I knew what I doing.

I don't anymore. I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing and there must some mechanic or tactic that I've somehow got this far without learning. I can't make it through two encounters in Darkest 2 having my entire party nearly dead and stressed out. I've read lots of strategy stuff, and watched videos and have tried using the same party lineups and trying the same attacks (while not just copying move for move), and I'm still eating it hard. I don't have all the same trinkets, but I do have a lot of good ones.

I'm going to try one more time (after I grind up a couple new Level 6 heroes), but that will probably be it. I'm really not having fun anymore.

Any tips, advice, tricks or condolences appreciated.
