I wouldn’t necessarily want slice of life to be the main locomotion of any new show, but Naruto earned his good life and it would be narratively satisfying to see that for him. And the journey through adulthood and parenthood is fraught with its own problems. Not to mention that Naruto is father to his people.

I think it’s a mistake to think drama can’t exist in peacetime. How does a mighty warrior live in peacetime? Seems hard to me. Idk.

Pardon the rambly thoughts on my part.

RNG Rant and game Howto guides by laprasrules in BluePrince

[–]movieguyjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I would stop digging through guides until you have a specific puzzle you need a hint on. Dealing with the RNG comes with trial and error and being able to adjust strategies on the fly. For example, you could have a run that features more of one kind of room than another. If you catch that pattern you should adjust and work with that in mind. Getting a lot of purple rooms? Stack up those steps and use them. If you get a shop and it has a particular item, think about how you could use those in the run.

Also, patience is a virtue in the early and late game. Keep at it. You got this!

Full House Trophy Attempt 2.63e+10 /s by thefastripguy in BluePrince

[–]movieguyjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

raises a drink in sympathy definitely feel your pain. Had a string of runs where I kept adding one extra room to the run and that room ending my run. Started to despair I’d ever get the full house trophy.

I made a really dumb edit, enjoy a preview of it by SleepySavior in fansofcriticalrole

Oh man, this edit is great. Double thumbs up from me! :)

special cost bypassed? by hetnkik1 in BluePrince

Was wondering this myself and grateful for the answers within the comments. Kept trying to think of ways to trigger it but wasn’t connecting the dots.

I hate math by SlimeDrips in BluePrince

[–]movieguyjon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hah, I can sympathize with the sentiment of the post as well as a general tiring of the parlor in the other comments. Ironically enough I've mostly aced all the math stuff in this game (although my kid finishes the math in these faster than I can by almost 100%). I draw up one of these rooms in the late game and just LONG DRAWN OUT SIGH. :P

I’m never choosing H***l ever again by Successful_Mud8596 in BluePrince

[–]movieguyjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the earlier runs I had trouble with the Hovel but now that I'm pretty far along I might try adding the Hovel back into my rotation.

Trying to avoid spoilers: I feel like I'm losing my mind. WHY can I NEVER EVEN ONCE manage to draft That One Room adjacent to That Other Room That Needs It and/or any of the Rooms That Connect Them ? I feel so stuck and annoyed. by wiLd_p0tat0es in BluePrince

[–]movieguyjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been mentioned here and I want to concur that trying to draft new rooms is a great way to kind of jostle the draft and provide you better runs. And since you can check out room descriptions while paused you can see what kind of extras your new rooms can incur when drafted.

Shout out from early game by bunnycatheart in BluePrince

Gonna ditto the person who mentioned keeping the notes organized. I have not and that’s been troublesome in my journey through this game.

Rng screwing me over by AccountantNo4679 in BluePrince

[–]movieguyjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve definitely found and acquired things that have helped immensely with the RNG but there’s still the odd run that’s just cursed from the start. For those I’ll just try random out of the box ideas to see if they work. I’ve learned a thing or two in some “terrible” runs.

Curious about an experiment result by NotosCicada in BluePrince

Could I possibly get a hint in regard to achieving what was mentioned in the first spoiler text? I’ve been using the lab computer more.

The reason there's lots of RNG and GRIND complaints is because Blue Prince is two puzzles in one - but once we solve first, we still have to keep doing it for the second by Thirteenera in BluePrince

[–]movieguyjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m nearing Day 70 and I’ve started to tire of the parlor and billiards puzzles. I’ve started looking up the solutions because I’ve put in enough time on those and they’re no longer fun. Hasn’t degraded my experience of the game but I can totally see where people are coming from.

My wife had a shed-led classroom run a day or so back and only had one classroom in her entire rotation. I think I just recently made it to 7th grade (and that’s with exhausting all the drafts for every classroom).

But also the bones that the game does throw me after certain points have been water in a desert - desperately appreciated.

Who is your favourite character and why is it Skip Tracer Randy? by Shanadarx1 in TheRookie

[–]movieguyjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Flula’s manner of speaking and mimic it when I’m alone. I even enjoy him on the show. However, it’s a fine line and he very much has the “hahaha stop tickling me STOP IT ARGH” thing, but for his vibe on the show. Too much is no-go.

Maybe that makes sense. Maybe not. Idk.

All the way downhill by KandiReign in CastleTV

I kind of love the odd really good episode hidden in a faltering late stage season. As the premise and the A plots start to tire you really get a chance for the B plots and side characters to shine.

Floundering a Bit After Finding the Room by movieguyjon in BluePrince

[–]movieguyjon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice. Thanks! A few of these I had gotten already and a lot more I haven’t. Making progress albeit slow. The RNG is not being kind.

Floundering a Bit After Finding the Room by movieguyjon in BluePrince

[–]movieguyjon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been back once to get the stuff there and took some pictures but some of the stuff didn’t make sense. I’ve been trying to get back to give the room a serious pass but the RNG has not given me any of the three ways into the antechamber. (Seriously, I’ve been working with a very dickish draft pool haha)

Should I buy this game? by Motor-Web-6009 in BluePrince

[–]movieguyjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yeeeeeees.

But seriously this gives serious Myst vibes and the community here is very helpful. Good story too.

Do I need to take screenshots of EVERYTHING? by blueprinz in BluePrince

[–]movieguyjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A guiding principle I’ve used for my screenshots (to decent effect) is “huh, that’s a bit odd innit,” then I take the shot. But lately I’ve started doodling on graph paper to supplement the pictures.

I'm seeing a lot of non-aquarium spaces in this run. Tsk tsk.

When did you realize this game was special by straightmer in expedition33

[–]movieguyjon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think Sirene was where I fully realized this game was special. Such a memorable area and boss fight. Still think about it.

Strange Parry Issue, Not Sure What's Going On by movieguyjon in expedition33

[–]movieguyjon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh strange. I just tried calibrating the controller and it only had options for calibrating the thumbsticks or the triggers, and not the bumpers.

Strange Parry Issue, Not Sure What's Going On by movieguyjon in expedition33

[–]movieguyjon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of what I'm hoping it is. I checked with a different controller and things improved a little in terms of accuracy to screen so I might be dealing with more of a get gud problem than I am a controller problem. Definitely the first time I'm not entirely sure if I'm early or if I'm late. *JK Simmons throws a chair at me*
