• 14:42, 4 August 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Dyson Sphere Program (Created page with "* There are three main things to watch for in this game: power (both on the planet and in your mecha), research, and logistics. The latter matter most in the mid to late game. As of August 2023, there is an upcoming update that would add combat to the mix. * The game does not punish you when you destroy anything you've built. Everything returns to your inventory as new. * First thing to do in a new game is to recycle your space capsule. You'll gain 10 Iron Ingots, 10 C...")
• 09:13, 29 July 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Pikmin 4 (Created page with "* If you only have one type of pikmin on the field that had a onion home active then flowers will not cycle to the other pikmin colors. e.g. if you have a red and yellow onion and you take only yellow and ice then all the flowers will only be yellow.

• 09:12, 29 July 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Marvel Snap (Created page with "* Early on, the goal is to get two power out of every point of energy. You won't always achieve it but that's the standard to reach for. * You want to make sure you're fully utilizing your energy every turn. Your deck should run more low cost cards than high cost, with 6s being only 1 or 2 in the deck. * Due to the small deck size, you'll see the majority of your deck every game. Without any draw effects, only 3 cards will remain in your deck. The order will be random...")
• 07:41, 24 July 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Final Fantasy XVI (Created page with "* Do sidequests as they become available, they add a lot of character to the overall story. Sidequests marked with a + generally reward you with some sort of permanent upgrade or item recipe. * Mastering an ability allows you to put it in any ability slot. * Spend AP freely, you can always reset an ability you're not using anymore, and you'll need the AP to upgrade and master those you do. * You can autosell valuables by pressing the touchpad on the sell menu. It wont...")
• 18:42, 20 July 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Jagged Alliance 3 (Created page with "* When recruiting initial mercs, make sure to click the IMP tab at the top to create a custom merc. This is "you" and after the initial cost, has no upkeep costs. Also, make sure you have at least 4, preferably 5 in your group initially (including IMP). * Try to make sure you have enough specialties in your group. You want a medic, a demo expert, a mechanic, and some solid shooters. It's good to have someone with decent leadership too for training mercs and militia. *...")

• 18:40, 20 July 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Lunatic Dawn III (Created page with "* Lunatic Dawn 3 is the weakest game in the trilogy by far, and makes much more sense when you understand that it's a re-release of a long-dead MMO with all of the multiplayer functionality removed. What you're supposed to do in the game you were largely intended to learn from other players, so you'll probably want to look up in a guide somewhere as you probably won't figure it out yourself. Just make sure you're not looking up info on the PS1 version, which is very diff...")
• 18:39, 20 July 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Lunatic Dawn II (Created page with "* Stat caps are much more generous than Lunatic Dawn 1 and will usually be pretty high regardless of your starting values. There are also items you can find that will permanently raise stats regardless of your caps but they're rare and only found in high level dungeons. However you can buy certain very expensive trade goods that when consumed permanently raise stats: Hashish (Will), Matsutake (Will), Chinese Herbal Medicine (Intellect), Opium (Instinct), Mandragora (Inst...")
• 18:39, 20 July 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Lunatic Dawn (Created page with "* Your character has a finite lifespan and will make it to about 70 or so at most before dying. Training takes enough time that it's impossible to maximize more than a handful of skills before you die of old age, so it's best to plan ahead on how you want to build your character. * You can raise your stats through training, but when you first start the game, you get random, hidden caps for each of them, which are between 15 and 70 points higher than what you start with....")

• 13:44, 10 July 2023 Kanfy talk contribs created page Command & Conquer: Renegade (Created page with "* The fanmade [https://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/downloads Tiberian Technologies scripts] are probably required to run the game on a modern PC. * If playing on a high resolution, enabling the "Double HUD" option from the configuration program (wwconfig.exe) increases the HUD size and lets you see the radar and thus enemy positions properly. * Enabling "Lock Vehicle Camera to Turret" from the config or in-game options allows for easier vehicle aiming without having t...")

• 15:30, 26 June 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth (Created page with "* There are no subclasses or grimoire stones in this game, instead you have multiple races and legendary titles for classes (unlocked after beating the second stratum's boss). * At the very start each class can only be used by a specific race. Once you beat the first floor's quest you can change to every class at the cost of 5 character levels. A new level 1 character will be able to change without penalty. * Everything but a character's portrait (but not the colors) a...")
• 15:29, 25 June 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Aliens: Dark Descent (Created page with "* If you are in a Hunt you can weld the doors of a room you're in and cancel the hunt, even if you don't rest. It applies to even non-"safe room" areas, but it doesn't work if enemies are already moving towards you. * Taking out roaming xenos is a big part of stealth later in the game and it's easiest to do this with either mines or the sniper's silenced special shot. For mines you can use the hacker's drone or an auto sensor to lure enemies into them. You get a lot of...")
• 13:39, 15 June 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (Created page with "* There's an item you can get later in the game that will mark the locations of most collectibles if you're dreading the typical game experience of needing to use a game guide for figuring out what you may have missed and then hunting them down. * This is a preference but I used the accessibility options in the game to make the crates and crystals a conspicuous hot pink colour. Makes finding them from afar or just barely peaking out from behind something a lot easier....")
• 15:00, 2 June 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Serpent in the Staglands (Created page with "* Early game is rough, be prepared, and recruit all the NPCs companions you can asap in order to get over the first few levels hump. * Don't hesitate to reload if someone dies, you won't find a resurrect scroll. * Don't hesitate to replace early companions with better ones that you'll encounter later. * Mobs are spawned in small groups, but can be aggroed individually. However, if a group isn't fully dead and you save, then *the entire group* will be spawned back when...")
• 10:34, 31 May 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Card Survival: Tropical Island (Created page with "== Hunter == * At the start your biggest source of water is going to be coconut water (sharp rock on husked coconut) and rain that you collect by catching it in empty coconut shells. When you drink/eat coconut products your "stool liquidty" stat will go up (yes its that kind of game) which will eventually give you diarrhea, which then drives your hydration down. Therefore you want to limit your coconut product consumption to only once or twice a day. For collecting wate...")
• 08:10, 25 May 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Darkest Dungeon II (Created page with "* You're going to die so get used to it. You're not going to be able to beat the boss at the end of the run, it's just isn't going to happen, so focus on getting as far as you can with what you have. * Your party is generally broken into frontliners and backliners, with each person's preferred location being on their information page. When you look at an ability it'll show what position you need to be in to use it and which positions on the enemy side it can hit. These...")
• 08:05, 25 May 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Octopath Traveler II (Created page with "* Every character is viable as your first character, but the one you pick cannot leave the party until you finish their story, so make sure you like them and their abilities. * Throne's a solid starting pick. A good balance of physical and magical stats means she pairs well with anyone else's job. She also starts near a good secondary job to unlock, as well as two solid early characters (the Scholar and Cleric specifically). Her Day/Night Path skills are also insanely u...")
• 10:09, 24 May 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Descenders (Created page with "* It is important to not blow off the tutorial in this game if you want to do well. You'll want to get a feel for how jumping and moving in mid-air works because the game will certainly be expecting you to if you don't want to crash from landing incorrectly. Having to use the right stick to jump and using the left stick to do spins and flips in the air by default is tricky but doable. * You can pump the brakes to help control your downhill speed (default L2) and there i...")
• 17:40, 18 May 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page The Great War: Western Front (Created page with "== Campaign == * Don't be afraid to do nothing on a turn to build up funds, the game is very long term and the enemy is not super aggressive. You need to spend money to replenish your troops after fights, so if you go into them broke then you're going to run into the red. * Don't mix multiple nationalities of troops together, it gives a "disunity of command" debuff for morale. * Generally speaking what troops you have are what you get. You can build new planes or (lat...")
• 13:20, 14 May 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Created page with "* Unlike BotW, you should follow the main story quest a bit after leaving the tutorial zone - until you do, you won't get your glider or activate the towers * Every cave has a glowing creature you can defeat that will drop a collectible gem - when you do, a checkmark will appear on the cave's icon on the map * Jump in every well you see Category:Games")

You don't have to wait to scan their corpse to add them to the database. * You'll be let loose to explore the rather large first main planet fairly early, but I'd recommend following the story at least until you get the ability to tame and ride creatures, which makes getting around much faster. Category:Games")
• 09:37, 5 May 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Star Wars: Empire at War (Created page with "* If you have the Forces of Corruption expansion the third faction has the ability to corrupt your planets which cuts your income. You can use special units or heroes to cleanse the systems for a chunk of change. * Ships that are coming in, and recovering from hyperdrive, in battles take a ton of extra damage, so be careful if you want to jump something into the middle of a fight. * Don’t get caught up in churning out as many Star Destroyers or Mon Cal cruisers as...")
• 07:49, 2 May 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Barotrauma (Created page with "* Any injuries under aprox. 20% are not worth wasting medical supplies on, with the exception of bleeding ("minor bleeding" is fine to ignore), poisons, and husk infection which you should always try to clear asap. Anything less than 20% should be treated by fruit juice (pomegrenade extract, you can set up a botany room and grow the fruit on the sub) or via lying in a bed (veeeerry slowly heals injuries over time). At outposts and cities you can also spend a fairly minor...")
• 14:48, 29 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page God of War Ragnarök (Created page with "* One of the valuable things you can find if you look around is pots that hang from the ceiling and that usually contain money. These can look different depending on which realm you're in. Category:Games")
• 20:01, 28 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Everspace 2 (Created page with "* The game is a looter shooter at heart. Regularly look for upgrades to your equipment, even if it means changing weapon types. * Pay attention to the Challenges section under Data. Every star system has an explorer challenge that unlocks fast forward while in supralight, which is unbelievably useful. Make completing this your priority. * Different ships in the same class (striker, bomber etc) can have different passive abilities, so check those before you buy. Later,...")
• 20:00, 28 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Wizards & Warriors (Created page with "* Save often in safe spaces and I'd keep multiple saves. * Some PCs have items you can trade for if you talk to them and ask Trade. You can also sell them items, and you can also steal those items if you have a character with high enough Pickpocket skill. This can be abused for certain quests such as one where you give a vampire a scroll and she will give you a key or ring. The ring is really good so after giving her the scroll, save and then steal the scroll back. Once...")
• 08:13, 19 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Meet Your Maker (Created page with "* Aside from the tutorial, every outpost in the game is made by another player. As such, some people prefer using guards exclusively, while others traps, and the rest have a balance of both. Go in with the mentality of "What would I do if I was building this place?" and dying will happen less often. Sometimes, though, you will get outfoxed in a really devious way. No one's perfect, after all. * You only have one hit to live. If you die at all, you start at the beginning...")

• 08:06, 19 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Mega Man Battle Network (Created page with "* Save all the time, these are GBA games from the early 00s, there's no autosave and a single bad fight will kick you back to the title screen. * The first thing you should do is start slimming down your folder so you can try to have 4-5 chips in your hand every turn. A 2 code folder is ideal, 3 codes is useable, 4 codes and beyond will make it likely that you'll go into a turn with one chip in your hand. * If you're going for 100% chip collection (required for certain...")
• 08:06, 19 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Mega Man Battle Network 4 (Created page with "* MMBN 4 is not only easily the worst game in the franchise, but also one of the worst games on the GBA.

• 08:06, 19 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Mega Man Battle Network 3 (Created page with "* This game has S+ and S++ busting ranks in virus fights if you're in Custom Style.

• 13:18, 10 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page DREDGE (Created page with "* The one resource you are going to be short on is research parts. You will not get enough naturally to max out your research, so you should decide what researches to get. Here are my recommendations for each research tab: * Engines: You get two distinct paths. I recommend the top path that ends immediately with the 1x1 size Jet Drive Engine and buying a bunch of those. They are almost as fast as the final tiers of the bottom path and save you a lot of research parts. A...")
• 13:16, 10 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Disciples: Liberation (Created page with "* Companions can leave you if you piss them off sufficiently or make certain choices in their quests. * Reputation with the four factions is important because it unlocks higher tiers of their units. It's generally a good idea to focus on one or two factions at maximum. * That being said, apparently it's possible to go through the game without joining forces with anyone and the story accomodates for that; you also get a good amount of units from quests. * Some quests w...")
• 13:49, 5 April 2023 Ahobday talk contribs created page Hot Wheels Unleashed (Created page with "* All vehicles have stats that must be paid attention to. These are Speed, Braking Power, Acceleration, and Handling. These are pretty self-explanatory and I imagine most reading this have played a racing game before, but the tracks in this game tend to have a lot of turns to facilitate drifting in order to acquire boost, so speed isn't the most important thing all the time. All stats are measured from 1 pip to 6. * There are also two different types of boost to use. Ch...")

If you reload your save then you are going to get the same thing if you put in the same combinations. * Attache case bonuses seem to spawn more items rather than replace them. The gold case will turn money drops into $1500 rather than (I suspect) $500 with a special icon that shows that it is doing it. For your first run the handgun ammo one will probably be the best, although you can get enough spare parts t...")
