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.

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!

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.

Jag har använt en Fairphone 3 med e/OS i fem år. Jag är ingen power-user, men jag är väldigt nöjd!

I've made it a habit to type out the command without sudo at first, then when it yells at me about permissions I am reminded to go back and double-check.

I got back into it about a month ago, picking up from where I left off in 2019. I'm playing the stories and maps in chronological order, and because there's loads of incentives to go do stuff or collect things in older maps, there's been people around the entire time. People have been super-duper helpful to me anytime I mention that I'm a returning player. Lovely game, lovely community.

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've been using NewPipe exclusively for about 4 years now and I'm very, very happy with it. I take background audio playback, downloading, adblocking, sponsorblocking et.c. for granted now and often forget how crippled the vanilla YouTube experience is.
