I spent about 30 minutes in the @esotericebb.bsky.social Cleric creator soaking up the writing, fine-tuning my RP build, musing over the right background... upon confirmation, the game immediately threw shade (and a possibly-helpful warning?) my way for my choice in dump stat - STR. Let's goooooo~

We never had money for actual Ragnarok Online back in the day but I played so much TwilightRO, a little active private server around '05-'06.
Me, 30s in to this video:
Walking blind into that Divinity trailer at 6:30am was a hell of a start to the day
*upgrade noises*
Myles: Oh cool, you found a [new thing you can do]. Have you considered backtracking to a [dungeon you haven't thought about in 3 hours] to progress the game? Yeahhh I'm thinking you should really go there. Just got one of those feelings I guess!
Hollow Knight? Metroidvania.
Blue Prince? Metroidbrainia (shout out @gameonysus.bsky.social)
Metroid Prime 4? I'm pitching Metriodsplainia. My boy Myles acting like he's played the whole damn game before me.
Nice looking game though, and some truly excellent gyro control options in there.
Genuine question - is there any other review / engagement platform worth leaving a review on if I bought this on another platform (Switch)? Or is Steam the only valuable thing in town?
The post-launch hustle is so real. For a brief period, every ounce of my attention was on a very small number of release-related details, but now it's on a zillion things again.
Go play and review Battle Suit Aces so I can just focus on making it better 🤖💖

Especially in the winter months, be sure to get familiar with the Delay Repay policies of your operator. Most of the time you can get money back for unexpected delays, which takes the sting out of them when they happen!
@tom.trinketstudios.com the LCARS-style UI in Battle Suit Aces keeps giving me a big dumb smile every time I see it. Congratulations on the launch! I can't put it down, having a great time.

Treated myself to two FLGS pickups today: Goblin Quest by @gshowitt.bsky.social and For Small Creatures Such As We by @annablackwell.bsky.social - my first(!) Solo RPG book. Thrilled to dive in.
Every time this happens to me, I just add an exclamation mark at the end, as though I'm shouting the original password back at the computer and it works like 99% of the time.

Sitting alone on my 4-2-5-3-1-4 island.
I built a PC last summer for this exact reason! I’ve been a console lad for 30+ years, got a Steam Deck and it was eye-opening. Now got a nice little MiniITX under the TV and my consoles (sans Switch) haven’t been switched on in months. Managed to get boot smooth, although it’s no SteamOS.
I've been (finally) playing it now on my Switch 2 and I have been really enjoying it.
One observation I had was if you switch from a menu (pause, inventory) back into the game, or transition from one area to another, the game actually hits 60fps until the frame lock kicks in. Would love a patch.
Absolutely THRILLED to hear new music from Justin in 2025. There's a lot of variety packed into this EP, can't wait to include it in our campaign playlist rotation.
So glad to see this drop, and gutted I missed the announcement nearer the time! Big fan of that open pedal, airy piano in Lunar Corona. Nice to hear some of the murky depths of the tonal range on display too. Great work!
Me, breaking Blue Prince spoiler containment (I’ll get there one day):
There was ~350 people queued up for midnight launch at our local Smyth’s on a weekday night.
Seemed to catch a lot of people off guard, staff included. Can’t speak for the rest of the country but it seemed popular.
Great choice, too! Big fan of that series. If you feel like chasing it with something a bit different, I’d recommend: app.thestorygraph.com/books/f52f2b... it’s written like a series of letter exchanges, a very compulsive read but also easy to pick up / put down.
fuckin' mood.
I was also swindled by this!
Depending on how Act 3 goes for you, the game presents a good narrative scaffold for a real bummer of a post game, too.
My partner and I preordered, heading to a midnight launch in our area tomorrow night.
Switch 1 has been my desert island console, so it was an easy sell between my existing library, title upgrades and the new games shown.

No worries. It beats doomscrolling on a Sunday morning :)
There are a few on AbeBooks. You’ll want to use their additional search criteria to narrow down the results (this edition was published by HarperCollins in 1991-92.
These parameters should narrow down for you, hopefully you find a copy!

So for whatever reason this listing’s URL does not want to copy, but here’s the screenshots which show the seller’s account.
Ahhh wait sorry that’s the combined one book edition. I’ll keep hunting :)
The only people I know that ‘don’t like garlic’ seem to have an aversion to seeing/smelling/tasting it in isolation from other ingredients. I suppose those same people haven’t seen Ratatouille.
