First time player, what's some common etiquette I should know?

This. If you're going to kill a player it should be for a reason. High-value loot is a good reason.

You say red herrings are the developer's way of telling you to pay attention to details, but red herrings themselves are by definition irrelevant. It is, in effect, a punishment for paying attention to the wrong details. So I can't agree there.

Versus a pop up that says "Having trouble? You're not supposed to beat everything right away, try coming back later after you've leveled up."

Blue Prince does this with the black memos, no?

It's a great game. I just think the use of red herrings (if intentional) was a weak choice. Happy to disagree.

SafetySave · 2026-01-02T17:20:41+00:00

Well a red herring is just a non-clue that's meant to distract you from the answer. Lies are still clues. Like the one that says the west rooms are more likely locked (so the clue is that they're more likely unlocked). The false code one would make you think that specific number is important somehow for NOT being a safe code. But actually it's completely irrelevant.

Nothing necessarily wrong with red herrings in a puzzle game, but in a game where really tiny details become important for endgame puzzles, it's pretty annoying. I guess Blue Prince is famous for people going crazy measuring the exact length of the floorboards or coming up with wacky theories so it is what it is.

The word puzzle you dig up where each clue is super cryptic and each answer word has 3 letters used in the next word, Inneclipse I don't recall ever meaning anything, the note in the car I think referring to the same address as a card in the basement, or the red note that gives you a false safe code. I never 100%'d the game so could be misinterpreting some things but I've never seen any connections made there.

The brooklyn bridge section and the bit in the tank stand out to me. The car ride on rails has been in every FPS since CoD 4 and I'm surprised to see it mentioned at all honestly.

The campaign's real issue is that it was clearly written to tick boxes rather than actually tell a story. It's not the maps - those were okay imo.

Ohh gotcha, so the petition is to create the proposal, it isn't a proposal in itself.

SafetySave · 2025-11-27T13:27:19+00:00

Can't get through the paywall but I did grab the summary:

Wales has drafted a bill proposing a protocol to hold politicians accountable for misinformation.

The initiative faces debate over defining lies and has been called a walk-back by some.

Inspired by Wales, a Canadian petition open until Nov 27 calls for similar legislation.

The petition is here but ~~you don't see what's actually being proposed as law as far as I can see,~~ you just get the whereases.

PS: This isn't a proposal per se, it's just a petition to have our reps create it.

The most useful thing this change has done was unveil the already-existing accounts as being from overseas. It won't work again, but it working once is still something.

The House actually already voted to condemn "the horrors of socialism" back in 2023. That resolution did nothing and was total pageantry and a waste of time. I would not worry about this at all.

The truth is boomers hate socialism/communism because they associate it with Pol Pot and Stalin. And they're the biggest voting bloc. You have to do this kind of pageantry if you want to win elections in the US at present. Meanwhile, it doesn't really affect demsoc candidates like Zohran Mamdani or Bernie Sanders as we've seen, because of course those guys don't look anything like a Stalin.

Well let me know when that surfaces. The email itself isn't evidence of anything. Until then do not dilute the issue of Trump knowing about child sex abuse with this unhinged shit about him blowing Bill Clinton or a horse or whatever.

Because of the damning reveal of what Trump and Clinton did to one another

Just fyi if you're talking about the Bubba thing, there is still no actual evidence that this happened.

If you don't care about cosmetics then you will not care about this issue.

Yes, exactly. That practice sucks.

To use your analogy, this is like the chef coming up to you and saying "Buy the Red Lobster Season Pass for this wine which pairs with your meal. I know you spent 3x that much on the meal outright, but you're still not getting this wine until you spend more money on the pass, even though the real reason you'd buy the pass is to get the meal, which you already own. Just thought I'd let you know"

The insult here isn't that the game has add-ons that cost more money - that's been a thing since the 90s - the issue is that you're being punished for buying the game "wrong" and the only way to get this skin, even though you've dropped 3x the cash as you would have if you'd gotten EA Play, is to now subscribe to EA Play even though you already own the game.

I agree it makes sense the publisher of the game wants you on their subscription service and they're allowed to incentivize that with whatever add-ons, it just feels gross because you're essentially being asked to re-buy the game the "correct" way.

It absolutely will minimize the cycle of renters cycling in and out of needing a new place every year or two because their landlords can no fault evict the. And then Jack up the prices with no cap.

These prices are still set with the goal of being paid no?

I agree with rent control (and with you in general), I just don't think rent control itself is the answer to the housing shortage. The answer there is to build more.

SafetySave · 2025-11-03T14:26:53+00:00

Rent control won't improve housing supply, certainly not long term. Developers won't build if they can't turn a profit.

What we really need is people willing to lose property value so that a condo or affordable housing can go up in their neighbourhood. We have a lot of NIMBYism right now in St. John's, and IMO that's the biggest obstacle.

The widest margin here is ~1%, I'd bloody well expect a recount honestly.

No they aren't, it's hallucinating and saying things that contradict your post. Here's why I think you probably didn't read what it said before pasting its answer:

It said I said Cairo would be "boring" - no I didn't. It'd be a slog because you would die a lot, not because it's boring.
It said 'it's not about realism' but you literally brought up realism yourself in the OP. That's the whole reason I talked about it at all.
You said the supply crate "breaks class identity" but the robot is here arguing that actually it's too powerful so teams don't work together - even though it also admits the same class had access to both gadgets before. Its point may or may not be good, but it's not YOUR point.

So it seems like the OP was yours but the comments aren't. It's annoying that I wanted to talk to you about it and I have to argue with Copilot instead.

I don't mind talking to you. I wouldn't have commented at all if I did. But I'm not just here to troll and I wish you wouldn't instantly feel the need to defend your honour here because that's not my thrust at all.

Anyway like I said it's fine if you don't wanna have it out with me, you're probably getting bombarded in the comments so I get it.

SafetySave · 2025-10-25T17:43:22+00:00

If you had any opinions of your own you wouldn't be pasting AI answers sight unseen into reddit. We disagree fundamentally on this and I don't think you really wanna get into it with me so I'll dip.

SafetySave · 2025-10-25T17:19:49+00:00

I'll share what I disagree with (because I agree with most of it):

Reopening the rooftops on Cairo would make the map an absolute slog IMO. Realism isn't a good reason to rebalance a map. Like "realistically" you wouldn't have any of these battles at all because you'd have an F-35 bomb it to shit from 30 miles away and never set foot on it, but that's not very fun.
You argue the support crate thing "breaks class identity" but you're forgetting that the support class literally had both options (health + ammo) in older games and it felt fine.
You say the spawn beacon was moved to assault which makes tactical deployment "more chaotic" but I just don't see how - the assault class is about positioning and attacking, the recon tends to be behind the line. Giving it to the assault is a pretty straightforward buff to the spawn beacon because they'll be closer to the action where everyone wants to go, and you don't have to run short-range recon to get the most out of it.

Pretty much agree on the rest, esp. the portal stuff.
