| ## Award / Badge | ||
|
|
||
| Awards, also sometimes referred to as badges, are given for completing various tasks. |

Awards are currently expressed only as badges, but this will change very likely before the end of the year. Not sure how we can make those two terms not synonymous.

I see them referred to as Awards in events and the main profile page, which is where I got this from. Though I've heard them referred to as badges all the time colloquially.
| ## Standalone | ||

| Typically, all games run on an emulator. However, some games run standalone. | ||
| Currently, there are just Terraria and Final Fantasy XI, but more may be added in the future. |

This is very likely to drift/be stale this year. We should mention Terraria and FFXI, but maybe in a way that doesn't require an update once a 3rd standalone is added.

How about
Typically, all games run on an emulator. However, some games run standalone (e.g. Final Fantasy XI and Terraria)
So this just lists them off as examples and not something that needs updating.

This adds a simple Glossary page of what are common terms for active RA users but some newcomers may not understand.
This knowledge gap was revealed when a user came in asking what a mastery was. So, I decided to make a page that briefly describes a lot of RA specific terms, with links to more detailed pages if available to go into more detail.
Would appreciate feedback to make sure everything I have is accurate, or if anything needs to be added.
