I Was a Teenage Exocolonist [b]Patch #1[/b], version 2204 (October 4th) is now live on Steam!
It fixes a few big bugs (the gym does something now!), a bunch of rarer issues (all cards now gettable!), plus better support for the Steam Deck and non-16:9 aspect ratios.

No more letterboxing - resize the game window to whatever scale you want!
Thank you [b]so so so much[/b] to everyone who sent in bug reports and helped me track these down, especially machine-specific problems and all those obscure typos and issues in hidden corners of the narrative.
If you run into any more problems, please report them from inside the game so it sends me your logs and stuff too!
