• 09:53, 27 September 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Star Wars Outlaws (Created page with "* Maxing out the reputation for Crimson Dawn unlocks pants that increases your crouch speed. * Unlock the slicer expert as soon as you can to unlock light footed which basically allows you to walk without being heard unless you are right next to the enemy. * Last, if you unlock the perk from the scavenger on akiva for faster crouch speed, it stacks. * It's good to have a good reputation for all the syndicates because it trivializes a lot of the forced stealth section...")

• 19:58, 18 September 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Lobotomy Corporation (Created page with "* This is a game about discovery. You are going to have to take chances and make choices without knowing what the outcome of those choices will be. * Don't be afraid to restart a day (or week) if things go poorly. The TT2 Protocol is there for a reason. * There's no shame in playing the game with a guide or walkthrough. No one will judge you. * There is a very important reward for getting 100% codex completion. That said, that completion percentage does not include th...")
• 08:17, 14 September 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page V Rising (Created page with "* Your equipment determines your level. The basic loop is kill v blood boss, build new thing it unlocks, farm mats to make stronger gear, build it, kill the next set of v blood bosses, etc. * Plant every seed you find, and spend your early copper at the merchants buying seeds and books. You should keep a full stack of flowers you need for potions, and turn everything else into pollen at the grinder, because you want to get your paper to scrolls to page pipeline as busy...")
• 08:12, 14 September 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (Created page with "* Peter Quill is not Iron Man or Captain America. As Star Lord, you are arguably the weakest member of your team. He is the team leader. Call the plays. Set up the opportunities, and then call in your squad to lay down the big hits. * Combining the special attacks from multiple teammates is the key to fighting the largest and toughest enemies. If you try to take down large foes with nothing but Peter’s pea-shooters, you’re going to be there a long time. * Elemental...")
• 21:10, 8 September 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Mato Anomalies (Created page with "* HP is shared between all active party members. This has the effect of making AoE attacks particularly troublesome, so it would be best to identify and keep track of which enemies can do those so that you can hammer into them before they get to make a move. * DoT can be stacked and each time it is stacked, the effect timer resets. So you can keep hitting someone with poison and they will stay poisoned for as long as you're able to apply it. * There's four main attack...")
• 16:07, 2 September 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Moonring (Created page with "* The first dungeon is not easy. Some enemies in there are hard to beat, and you are probably expected to flee from them and get hits in when you can, instead of fight them head-on. * If you enter quiet mode you won't trigger traps when you walk over them, and you'll clear spider-webs before you walk over them, so they don't slow you down. Category:Games")
• 13:23, 31 August 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Created page with "* Skill Points for Jonathan's sub-weapons are gained by hitting an enemy at least once with the sub-weapon and then killing the enemy. If you hit an enemy with multiple sub-weapons only the last to hit gets the xp. * Don't sell items if you only have 1 of them. Several items that seem like they might be quite common actually appear only once and are needed to complete side quests for much better rewards. For example the Long Sword weapon and Amanita food item. * If you...")
• 13:22, 31 August 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society (Created page with "* The game will eventually require you to grind out random drops to progress at around the 50% point into the game. If going back to grind stuff later is something you want to avoid, consider looking up the list of what you need * After that point the games design changes and will never go back to what it was. <div class="spoiler">All dungeons from that point on are procedurally generated repeating floors over and over again with no hand designed levels</div>. Catego...")
• 13:10, 31 August 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Crime Scene Cleaner (Created page with "* The whole system of detergent upgrades is basically moot if you just upgrade your basic mop, bucket and sponges. The pressure washer rapidly becomes irrelevant, too. * The art museum is easily an order of magnitude larger and more complex than everything before it. Be ready to sink a lot of time into it. * The game shows your completion of tasks only in the area you are in. Take a full tour of the level before leaving if you're going for a perfect score. If going for...")
• 03:35, 23 August 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Black Myth: Wukong (Created page with "* It's a soft souls game, in that it does have a healing flask and rest shrines and such, but you don't lose XP when you die. I-frame dodging is your biggest defensive tool, so be sure to practice that. * XP level ups give you "sparks" which are skill points. You get them at a pretty rapid rate, but I recommend taking the first two tiers of the stances, the skill that allows you to block arrows with your staff spin, and also the skill line whose final point lets you mai...")
• 08:03, 16 August 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights (Created page with "* As you defeat bosses and sub-bosses, you'll get access to their attacks and will also unlock new moves for yourself, such as an improved evade. Since there are a lot of things laying around, if it's too annoying to reach or just impossible, you may want to come back to it later. * There is no invulnerability period whenever you take one on the chin, so it's in your best interest to get used to the evade and to also avoid situations where you'll get cornered by multipl...")
• 20:34, 8 August 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Valkyria Chronicles 4 (Created page with "* Units rank up by getting RP. RP is gained solely from being activated in battle. 1 activation in a story battle gives 1 RP, normal skirmishes give half, hard ones give 1.5x. Notably, it doesn't matter what the unit does, just that you took control of it. * The game's explanation of squad stories is misleading if not flat out wrong. Instead of using those units together, you just need to use one of them until they get 20 RP, which for most units makes them a corporal....")
• 16:34, 7 August 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Amnesia: The Bunker (Created page with "== Resources == * Keeping the generator running at all times is vital. The monster becomes insanely aggressive and present in the absence of light, making the game insanely tough and slow. * Fuel is an extremely valuable resource and should be prioritized over other items you may find around, save for key tools to progress the game. Between refilling the generator and crafting items, it's by far the most important resource to manage. * Albeit unpractical, you will unl...")
• 07:44, 30 July 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Lorelei and the Laser Eyes (Created page with "* Be sure to read the in-game instruction manual, it includes some tips that would normally be in a list like this. * There's exactly enough money in the game to cover everything you could spend money on. * Nothing is missable. Any info you need for a puzzle can either be recalled through your character's photographic memory or is part of the environment. * Even so, take notes. Take a lot of notes. * There are some puzzles you'll run into early on where you won't hav...")
• 07:58, 29 July 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Just Cause 4 (Created page with "* Instead of taking down locations bit by bit, you will be working with the Army of Chaos (this game's rebel army) to push frontlines in order to spread their influence. This is done by completing a mission and then sending some forces from an adjacent territory. Depending on circumstances, you could get away with doing that for no cost or even earn some more forces. * The upgrade system this time is tied to three characters: Luis for the air lifter (a balloon), Javi fo...")
• 07:56, 29 July 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Shin Megami Tensei (Created page with "* Go for a physical build on the main character and magic for all the other characters. The protagonist can't use magic, but physical is pathetically weak until endgame so it's not worth doing it on anyone else if you can avoid it. * The game hands out incense (stat boosting items) like candy, so it's easy to patch up weak stats. As a general rule: Strength and Luck incense goes to the main character, and Intelligence and Magic go to the Heroine. You can split Agility a...")
• 18:20, 20 July 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Earth Defense Force 6 (Created page with "* It helps to have a mission list of enemies who appear so you won't bring bad weapons. At the least, note if flying enemies and bosses show up and if it's caves. * There are cave missions that limit what weapons you can bring. You won't be calling bombing runs or air-dropping giant death robots one mile underground. A spiderbot will do. * The Rotational Lerp setting is only for controllers. * There is a setting for weapon damage display and having it near your charac...")
• 15:34, 16 July 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page 1000xRESIST (Created page with "* Don't stress over your dialogue choices. They may change what immediate response you get, but otherwise don't have a strong impact. * Talk to absolutely everyone in every chapter. You'll know you've found everyone in the hub area because it will pop up a task completion message. * Don't worry if you don't understand something immediately. Pretty much everything will be explained in some way eventually. * Pay close attention to the dates in the bottom left corner of...")
• 17:16, 10 July 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Hogwarts Legacy (Created page with "* Hufflepuffs get to visit an extra location in their story. Other than that it seems like the experiences are mostly the same for the different houses. * Exploration is key, there's a lot of stuff floating around the castle, cosmetic items etc. * I don't think any of the missions are time sensitive, so you can take your time and explore at your leisure. Category:Games")
• 09:21, 2 July 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Metal Slug Attack Reloaded (Created page with "* As you're starting out, there's a Build Up menu that will take your MSP so that you can do things more efficiently in a fight under the Customize Bases menu. In order, it's Buildup Speed (for AP), MSP Gain, Deployment Speed, Hangar (for initial AP value), Destruction Bonus (get AP for downing units), and Base (for HP). Your main priority is to up MSP Gain as much as you can and then you can work on the rest. The level you can hit max at is 10 and then you have to level...")
• 13:22, 24 June 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Fights in Tight Spaces (Created page with "* Don't expect to win the first few games you play: use them as opportunities to learn the mechanics, enemy patterns, and earn better cards. * Your goal should be to remove weaker cards from your deck and set up a deck with good synergy. Expect to have between 15 and 25 cards in your deck by the end of the game. It is okay (often preferred!) to skip card rewards if the options given don't contribute well to your deck. * Turn on the "Entity Data Always Available" option...")
• 11:30, 15 June 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Crime Boss: Rockay City (Created page with "* Any mission you complete benefits your overall level. Even the tutorial. * Objects that are flashing are explosive and have a massive damage radius. Same for vehicles. I'd shoot explosives on sight during loud missions. * Standing on a vehicle is dangerous without human players supporting you. * The unlocks you get for leveling your Boss can give you more options for the Roguelite campaign. If you have a higher tier crew to pick, do it. That puts them in the recruit...")
• 21:15, 8 June 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Coromon (Created page with "* It takes a while before the game explains the mechanics in detail, so don't worry too much about the long term strategies and keep playing at least until you get the second pile of books from the Hayville library (unsurprisingly it's mostly just Pokemon). * Solving the library quiz gives you an XP share item (lazy gem) which is handy to keep your benchwarmers leveled up. The second library quiz gives a sloth gem which is even stronger. There's another early sloth gem...")
• 15:03, 24 May 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Mullet MadJack (Created page with "* The mode that removes the time limit and gives you a standard health bar neglects to mention that checkpoints do not heal you like they would on all other modes. Enemies will not give you any health upon defeating them, either, unless it's a finisher. You're reliant on the vending machines to keep you alive for the duration of the chapter, so even if everything does reduced damage, be careful. * If there is a pit of some kind and an enemy is on the other side, they ca...")
• 17:06, 15 May 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Crow Country (Created page with "* Enemies stay dead but new enemies and traps appear with progress. It's usually worth at least killing the little blob things, since they only take a single handgun bullet and will trip you up as you try to run from larger, deadlier enemies. * The camera snaps behind you when you aim. This can be useful for navigation but also means you need to be careful with positioning during fights. * Use your environment as much as possible to save ammo. Exploding barrels, blue p...")
• 18:17, 12 May 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page The Knight Witch (Created page with "* Madame Paquita can clone cards at the castle. When talking to her for the first time she gives a x2 multiplier for green gems when an enemy is killed by magic. This can go up to x5 after cloning more cards but you have to talk to her directly to get the upgrade, not through her store. * To unlock the ability to replay ambushes you have to first reunite the 2 soldiers with the dog at the castle, then show the dog the ghost cat after unlocking the ability to summon it....")
• 12:45, 6 May 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Cookie Cutter (Created page with "* The blue flash indicates an attack can be parried, but the timing on it is misleading. You actually want to watch the enemy attack animation and press the button just as it makes contact instead. The basic enemies where they teach it to you are also particularly bad targets for it, some later enemies telegraph their attacks better and it becomes more worthwhile to do as enemies get tankier. * If you're a completionist, there's destroyable flying TVs that count toward...")
• 12:33, 30 April 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Arcade Paradise (Created page with "* It doesn't take long before money from the arcades far outpace anything else in the business * There's no real penalty to neglecting cleaning clothes, except you get a little less money for it, so don't worry too much about them. * If you're playing a game when the business closes, you can still keep playing to your heart's content. But if you stop, then you won't be able to play it again until the next day. Category:Games")
• 11:44, 28 April 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Seasons After Fall (Created page with "* There are no missable achievements, you can explore freely at the end. * Try barking at everything, especially if it's glowing. * Can't move and nothing appears to be happening? Try barking a few times. * Stand still in the glowing water to teleport. To teleport something else, get it to stand still in the water. * When you're drawing shapes with bugs, changing seasons changes the line shape. Category:Games")
• 14:50, 31 March 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (Created page with "* Most of the gameplay tips from Final Fantasy VII Remake still apply. * There is an upgrade weapon screen in the menu, but weapons upgrade automatically. The only thing you have control of is weapon skills. * Materia equipped to back-liners get AP, but only if they are available, so open world yes, locked party areas and arenas no. * The chapter select is even more feature-filled than Remake's was, so don't worry too much about missing anything. * Auto-Cast and...")
• 08:31, 27 March 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Dragon's Dogma 2 (Created page with "* When your pawns say something like "something catches the eye", or "what's that?", causing a "!" to appear on the map that isn't referring to a ladder, then it's almost certainly a seeker's token. These look like smallish flat discs, about the size of a fist, laying flat on the ground, and are worth picking up. Category:Games")
• 08:01, 20 March 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Aliens: Fireteam Elite (Created page with "* Play different classes to unlock skills, since there is a lot of cross-class skills you can get to customize and strengthen your main character. * Smart gun is good, even if it isn't the hardest hitting gun. A great class to start with. * I recommend starting on Normal Difficulty and beating the base campaign. Doing so unlocks another class and the scaling is tuned for leveling the classes. If your group is competent enough at shooters and you find the difficulty a b...")
• 09:04, 18 March 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Granblue Fantasy: Relink (Created page with "* For the story missions, the Captain has to be in the party for a lot of them, so it would be wise to get used to their skills as well as building them up faster relative to the others in your party. If you're running someone else as the leader, you can at least make sure they can keep up with you along with the rest and it should be fine. For free quests, though, anyone is fair game, so bring whoever you'd like. * Early on in the story, you'll be able to start recruit...")
• 09:01, 18 March 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Mindustry (Created page with "* Always keep track of your factory's ratios. * If you are attacking an enemy base, keep track of how much silicon goes in and out of your core so you don't run out. * Always try to optimise your factories as much as possible, if they are not efficient enough you should completely re-do them. Category:Games")
• 08:47, 13 March 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Unicorn Overlord (Created page with "* The game rewards a bit of command optimization. A few battles in the game tells you it's a good idea to set basic attacks to target "lowest HP%" so your soldiers prioritize finishing off the wounded instead of smacking whatever's right in front of them. You also might want to tell your clerics to wait until a target is below a given percentage of HP to reaction heal so they don't blow all their support points on insignificant scratches, or tell units with a weaker pois...")
• 17:37, 8 March 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Sifu (Created page with "* When you restart an area you go back to the age you were when you started it, losing any progress made, which isn't as bad as it sounds. * I recommend focusing on learning moves permanently, you do this by buying them 5 times before a reset, so just keep buying the same move until it's permanent. * Skills that have a lower age limit can still be upgraded to permanent as long as you started it before going over the age limit. * Items are also permanent, and often a k...")
• 09:08, 6 March 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Quasimorph (Created page with "* Infection only kills you if damage reaches 100%, so if a wound heals before it gets to that point then you don't need antibiotics. You can also either use a merc profile that is immune to infection or mass produce infection-lowering items for free via the ship's crafting menu. * The "stock market" is not an actual market you can use, instead it is a scoreboard for corporation power. A corp's entry on the board will show you equipment with a percentage on each item; th...")
• 10:44, 27 February 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Balatro (Created page with "* You can play 5 cards even if not all of them count towards the points. e.g. if you play 2 pairs, you can play a 5th card as well. This is a useful way to discard some cards from your hand without using a discard. Category:Games")
• 08:58, 26 February 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Severed Steel (Created page with "* The game doesn't fully explain what maneuvers put you in stunt status (enemy shots are guaranteed to miss) or how to tell of you're in it. The visual indicator is the red speed lines at the sides of the screen, but the slo-mo meter also doesn't drain during stunts. Some things like a fall from high up or the first split second of a regular jump will trigger it and you may want to get a feel for it by running around outside of combat since it can feel random when it dro...")
• 12:49, 25 February 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Pacific Drive (Created page with "* Consider fabricating replacement car parts instead of using repair putty. Repair Putty should be saved for mid-run. The components for replacement are far more plentiful, and it becomes even more efficient when you get the <div class="spoiler">Matter Deconstructor</div>. * Some anomalies can be led away from where you want to be if they're the kind that move * Pay attention to the top left of the HUD periodically when walking about since you don't get warned about ra...")
• 12:47, 25 February 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page My Time at Sandrock (Created page with "* You don't need to have played My Time at Portia first, but Sandrock has enough QoL improvements over it that it might be tough playing Portia after Sandrock. * This game is a marathon, not a sprint. You'll have plenty of time to explore and mess around with things even if you finish every mission as soon as it pops up. * If you find that days are going by too fast or too slow, you can adjust the rate that time passes in the game settings. Just know that crafting time...")

Make sure to have a backup. A purely physical one is good to have on-hand for firefighters. * Top up your Fuse supply every time you visit a vendor.

Choosing to continue from a hideout will mean that you incur no money penalty like you would have if you choose to continue where you lost, but depending on where it happened, it may prove a slight inconvenience for you. For what it's worth, the money penalty doesn't really seem to be as rough here as it is in the last game. * When y...")
