Back in July when the console hit the 40 million mark, it was tracking two months behind PS4. The PS5's launch was hampered by severe stock issues driven by a worldwide shortage of components, which meant the console was consistently out of stock for its first two years on the market.

Plot: I had recently covered “Theft of Swords,” the first volume in the Riyria Revelations series in another Bookish Wednesday column. This second volume, originally the third and fourth novels when the author was self-publishing his work, are much more serious and dramatic than the previous volume.

But it must be under only when its Y position is higher that the Y position of a tree. So the idea is the lower the Y pos the higher the zIndex. In v2.4 i could use the zIndex to achieve this.
