• 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...")
• 12:40, 25 February 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Dead Island 2 (Created page with "* If you're using a Maiming weapon, you can massacre regular zombies (walkers/runners) by aiming for the legs. * If your weapon has an elemental mod some zombie subtypes will be completely immune to it. 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. Spend one when you're feeling like you need a new weapon. * Lockboxes usually can't be opened when you first find them....")
• 20:41, 22 February 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page River City Girls 2 (Created page with "* New to this game are hideouts, which give you a full heal whenever you walk in and are an option for you in the event that you get KO'd. 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...")
• 20:40, 22 February 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page The Forgotten City (Created page with "* There are a few areas with combat and (mild) jump scares, if you want to avoid them you can still complete the game: <div class="spoiler">don't take part in the plan to steal the golden bow, and avoid the lower cistern</div> * There is no penalty to restarting the loop, and in some cases you can reach a dead end where there is nothing left to do; in these cases don't hesitate to force the golden rule to be applied and reset the loop.

• 18:41, 18 February 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Undertale Yellow (Created page with "* Play Undertale first. * As in Undertale, the game really picks up around the middle. If you're not sold on it, try to make it through Snowdin before giving it up. * The config menu has several accessibility features including Easy Mode. These features can be enabled and disabled whenever you open the game. * Some of the boss's attack patterns in Vengeance/Kill Everyone assume you have fought the boss' pacifist or neutral variants.

These give a big bunch of medals by, usually, doing things you'd be doing already, but you have to make sure you're going to the right planets for them. * Always use your strategems, don't try to save them for 'the right time'. There's rarely a reason to enter an outpost without at least a couple orbital bombardments clearing out some of the targets inside. Get a heavy weapon down ASAP, thrown down sentries whene...")

• 15:48, 14 February 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Metal Gear Acid (Created page with "* When building a deck your eventual goal is synergy. You want interchangeable ammo/weapons so that you dont really ever have dead hands. A mildly worse two weapons that work with each other is way better than two non-interchangeable guns. * You'll probably need to rework your deck for boss fights, but building a general deck for everything else is very doable, and frankly, certain rare cards can obviate any need to change. * You can import 1 card from your collection...")
• 08:56, 14 February 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Azure Striker Gunvolt (Created page with "* The game has several language options, two of which are labeled as "English". One of these is a redone translation that restores content cut from the initial localization. The Steam version to date still defaults to the inferior version, and many new players simply don't think to change it assuming the default settings are sufficient. Category:Games")
• 16:51, 30 January 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Grand Theft Auto III (Created page with "* Don't hesitate to spend money on weapons, There's nothing you can do in GTA 3 with money except use it to buy weapons. The only two exceptions where money will be required to play the mission are Bomb Da Base Act 2 ($100,000) and the very last mission of the game ($500,000). * I HIGHLY recommend finishing all kinds of side missions in Portland before you start working for Salvatore Leone. Even if you do not usually play side missions like Vigilante or Taxi, at least f...")
• 08:48, 29 January 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Pseudoregalia (Created page with "* A ways into the game, you'll run into a place called Tower Remains with a locked gate and sign saying something about three suns needed to pass. It looks like a final boss door that requires collectable McGuffins to unlock, but the real one is actually a little ways inside the tower. There's a side path to get past the front gate and a mandatory movement upgrade inside to pick up. Category:Games")
• 08:45, 29 January 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Harvestella (Created page with "* It’s a good idea to complete chapter 3 early before spending too much time on side quests. doing the 4 crystal dungeons will unlock fairies, which unlocks new completion objectives in the fairy books. Being able to see what they are early on is convenient for planning to complete them, since they involve growing seasonal crops. * There’s a well on the south side of your farm. Go take a look at it during quietus. Category:Games")

So if you want to wrap up side quests and optional bosses, do it before you fight Flora Burn for the first time in the temple. * Caveat: there is a way to turn fast travel back on during the end game, but you have to beat 8 specific bosses, talk to a specific character after beating those 8 bosses, and then talk to her again before you fight the "true ending" end boss. * There are 4 different endings that depend on spec...")

Currently, the definitive version is Raina Audron’s HD remaster using the Flycast Dreamcast emulator. * The fast travel system is seamless.

(But you really should explore to get more out of the story). However you can't go back there whenever you want, so be aware of that. * No puzzle requires anything more than is in the room, and everything has a 'simple' solution.

• 08:17, 4 January 2024 Ahobday talk contribs created page Escape from Tarkov (Created page with "* The absolute first thing you should be looking for are good medical supplies to stockpile. * Focus on completing quests first, since they give a lot of unlocks and resources. * Early raids, especially in early wipe, you need to focus on surviving. Avoid firefights, (usually) avoid high value loot locations, extract early if you feel overextended. You'll snowball eventually, but not if your start is shaky. * Get some containers as soon as possible. They give lots of...")

It can cost a bit to move other buildings, but it's instant. * Poor logistics will kill you. As an example, if your cooks have to trudge across a fourth of the map to grab raw food from storage, they're spending more time walking back and forth than...")
• 11:06, 28 December 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Grandia Xtreme (Created page with "* The game is split into four chapters of increasing difficulty and drops. I wouldn't linger on the three chapters since chapter 4 opens up with so much better stuff and half the game's text. * I may mention save-scumming below, but you can get by without doing it at all, but chapter 4 will be very rough with what the game sells to you and randomly gives you. * Random number generation (RNG) is used for just about everything except enemy formations. You fight an enemy...")

Also, defeating certain bosses can make other levels easier. Category:Games")
• 16:28, 22 December 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page ASTLIBRA Revision (Created page with "* The demo is the entire first chapter (around two hours of gameplay), the save data should also carry over into the full game. * There are no missable collectables or items. * The game will still be introducing mechanics and systems until the last dungeon. If you're having trouble with any specific one then there are books in your inventory that will update to include explanations on all of them. * The Libra system is slightly obtuse, you need to balance the scales b...")
• 13:09, 19 December 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (Created page with "* It's a good idea to explore your surroundings off the main path. You may come across permanent upgrades. Or find a handy spell/weapon that may prove invaluable on the main quest. * Heart of darkness (the consumable item to revive and restore health) isn't infinite to find. Best to keep an eye on your supply. Alternatively there is a place to gain more hearts locked somewhere obscurely. Theoretically gaining an infinite amount by sacrificing blood. * The spell ‘rep...")

Some Talents provide exceptions to this. * There is a limit to how much you can improve a characteristic/ability per Archetype, so bear in mind that you cannot just pump all stats into a single of them from the start. You can level them further in the ad...")
• 17:14, 3 December 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Alan Wake 2 (Created page with "* You can always backtrack if you realise you've missed a collectible, though it may take a long time.

As of now, all cards in your deck are considered played and you can just go for it. * Originally, you had to complete Act 1 in order to unlock Doc, Hoffman, Jim, and Karlee. As far as I'm aware of, this is no longer the case. The last four Cleaners (Heng, Sharice, "Prophet" Dan, and Tala) are with the DL...")
• 20:58, 28 November 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Lethal Company (Created page with "* A good starting purchase is two walkie-talkies and two flashlights. If you have three or a full squad of four, keeping someone on the ship with a walkie-talkie watching the monitors can be a literal lifesaver. * You can order multiples of an item at the store. Just type what you want, followed by the quantity (eg; "walkie-talkie 4") * Sounds attract company. So does your voice. * Eclipse means it's nighttime for the whole mission and all the fun extra friends that i...")

This is not optional, but you wont need it for a long while and the game will not telegraph when it expects you to have it. * The side-quest with the dancer only requires you to talk to one other person who discusses dancing then returning to the dancer to get an achievement, but you actually need to go back to the other person you spoke to as they have a new item for you * When you get...")

The upgrade system has been revamped and all of them are good enough to run on their own with no further development. When you acquire one, you will have access to skills that can be slotted into your car. Green upgrades are related to car performance. Blue upgrades are to help you with boosting.

That said, it's entirely un-necessary to play that game and the references to it are extremely small. * You're told that doing the timed-button-presses (either when attacked or during skills) isn't particularly important. This is a lie. Learn the timing for attacks, both the enemies' and your own. It'll help a lot. * Don't bother doing any backtracking until the endgame, it's kind of a pain to get aro...")
