The game gives you all the tools you need and more to complete every map, and it’s up to you how to use them. Character builds are very flexible and adjustable before each map to fit the situation, so if you’re getting stuck somewhere it might be time to rethink your strategy.

A concrete example from my first playthrough: I was facing a large group of beasts and kept losing and losing. Up until then I had just been bringing my favorite characters in terms of personality, but when I instead brought a heavy phalanx frontline to keep my guys in the back safe, that encounter became a breeze since the enemy was too slow to even touch my backline.

The game isn’t particularly difficult, but there’s lots of this in the game. Facing undead? Bring someone who can do exorcism. The enemy has a lot of archers? Equip weapons/skills that let you deflect arrows. I am simplifying, and there’s always more than one solution to each problem, but you’re going to need to plan for each map before you go in.

Tactical RPG’s are my favorite genre of games, and Tactics Ogre (not Ogre Battle) in any of it’s many iterations is my favorite. No game is perfect but it does so many things so, so well. Matsuno’s magnum opus. The latest version, Tactics Ogre Reborn added high quality voice acting which I really love.

The actual app Magic Earth is proprietary, but it uses OpenStreetMap

Thanks for the compassion and discussion today. I saw your other comment about keeping all virtual cards on the primary console and you’re 100% right. I’ve been mulling over this all day but that solution just… Didn’t occur to me. Thanks again!

I am a self-certified memeology expert and I can attest to this meme’s banger quality, with and without context.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. With this setting on, your primary console can now be locked out of games if you’re caught offline and without the virtual card. That wasn’t possible before.

Though I don’t understand your point about being offline. If you are using the current primary / secondary console, then you can’t play on secondary console unless you are online, right?

I could have explained better. My docked Switch is set as secondary console, which forces online checks. That’s fine because I never take it outside. My Switch Lite is set as primary console, which means it (used to be) able to play any downloaded games, no questions asked – if the connectivity check fails, it will just warn you that your cloud save status couldn’t be verified.

Say I have a virtual game card of Suika Game loaded in my docked Switch. I now need to leave home, so I close the game and bring my Switch Lite with me which has Suika Game downloaded. During lunch at work, I open my Switch Lite and start up the game. That used to be fine, but now there’s instead a prompt to move the virtual game card from my docked Switch at home to this one, which I can’t do because I don’t have internet at work. I forgot my digital copy of Suika Game at home even though it’s downloaded on the console I’m holding.

This is a hypothetical example, and sorry for the wall of text, but it’s a needlessly complicated system that is a net negative for the user.

So, I have two consoles. A regular Switch that I use docked only, and a Lite for portable. Switching between them was always cumbersome due to cloud saves (they fail 1/20 times so I got used to always updating them manually), but this adds yet another step (it’s actually 4 screens to go through, with loading between two of them).

Not to mention, if the console with the virtual card is offline, and you wanna play the game on the other console – you can’t. If you or Nintendo are having connection issues, you can lose access to your downloaded digital games.

Another problem is if you lose physical access to a console with virtual game cards on it. The games are then gone with the console.

I’ve been a strong Nintendo supporter (monetarily) for years, having played through just over 100 games in this setup, so this is very, very disappointing to me.

I got chat restricted in Overwatch once, and when checking the logs they give you as to the reason, there was a chat between two other teammates, and me just saying “Zenyatta can’t heal himself.”

Had a stroll through his profile and he’s clearly only here to troll.

Gaming PC: GNOME (it works fine and I don’t care about much else there)

Laptop: dwl (dwm for Wayland) and suckless tools. Ultra lightweight and comfy for browsing and watching videos. Usually at the same time.

Did you install powertop recently? I had issues with Bluetooth with it.

I introduced a friend to Earthbound and we played it together on the SNES app. It was nice because I could watch them play and point my cursor to things, and even take the controls from time to time. It’s not a bad way to play games but I have better options for playing retro alone.

Oh no. Suika made my top 3

I remember using this a lot in my first year of migrating from Windows to Linux. It was engrained into me that my system will degrade if I don’t “clean” it regularly, like on Windows.

I got a pair of Bose QuietComfort 45 recently and I’m very happy with them. Very comfortable and they work great.

edit: after reading your post more carefully, I realize it’s probably not the answer you’re looking for 😶
