Any tips for "getting into" Shiren? Habits someone might want to form, things to avoid, etc.
I imagine they'd probably vary slightly from game to game, but every time I watch you play, there are certain things you do or trains of thought you go down that I'm not sure stuff like PMD would've ever conditioned me to think about growing up. It's REALLY fun seeing you work it out and hearing your thought process though!
If I had to give any single tip at all for all games; take your time!!
I know that might sound simple, but there is no real time pressure in these games whatsoever. Everything is turn based. If you find yourself in a situation, you don't have to act right away - you can examine the situation and look at your items and plan a course of action.
I think it's also useful to write things down. There's not much in the way of any kind of meta progression - all the progression is your own knowledge in your head. You can record interactions and item properties and enemy abilities and all kinds of stuff. I like making spreadsheets!
