PAPERS, PLEASE

You can save a ton of dough by trading off between heat and food. At the end of the first day, deselect food to put that 20 bucks back in your pocket. Turn off the heat for the next day, back and forth, etc, etc. There weren't any obvious downsides, you can do this for most of the game.

There's an achievement for getting to Class 5 housing, but other than that the benefits are completely negligible. You'll save money on heat, but spend it on rent. Your family will get sick less often, but they don't get sick very often to begin with and the 5 credit cost for medicine is pretty easy to manage.

SUPER MARIO GALAXY

If you're stumped on a star, just pick a different world to explore. Usually, by the time you've collected 1-2 stars from every world in a planetarium, you'll have enough to unlock the Bowser level and then move to the next planetarium.

Lives mean very little, so don't be afraid to explore a bit (and possibly die.)

STAR OCEAN 2

Reset the game repeatedly until your main characte - ither Claude or Ren - as Dexterity. Play the game as normal until after Cross, when you have Celine and get the mission to go to the cave. Get Sensibility 1 and 2, from Cross and Herlie.
Level up until you can survive one battle in Lasguss, north of Cross, and then run around and level up there until you have 40000 fol, resting as often as you have t - ventually this will be easy, but don't progress with the plot until then. Sense 2 has playfulness on it, and leveling up perseverance to 10 and then playfulness to 10 gets you a grip of cash.
On your main dude, level up Courage and Poker Face until your Pickpocket skill is 9 or 10.
When you have the money, buy the Bandit Glove in Herlie. Save your game, then go into Clik BEFORE IT IS DESTROYED in a private action. Watch the event where Filia predicts the town's doom, and pickpocket her to get the Mischief. This accessory tosses crap at you the entire game, including cash and little trinkets that give you free levels. It is amazing and wonderful.
Then, go to Mars, and save outside. Go in in a PA again, and go to the east side of town, and pickpocket the Treasure Chest from the old man. This gives you three random items, and you can reset until you get, among other things, the Marvel Sword, which gives some ridiculous attack power and will carry you for a very long time.
At Lacour, be SURE to get to the very last round of the tournament, against Dias. Then, get the Sharp Edge after the battle with him from the dude who sponsored you. You can customize it with a mithril, and then the resulting crappy sword with another mithril to make the second strongest sword in the game, which also craps out an extra AE attack, which is utterly amazing.
Get Opera instead of Ashton. Do not even start or do anything related to Ashton, he is worthless. Use her Machinery skill until you make the White System, and learn Healing Star with it. Use it nonstop until you manage 999 proficiency in it. It heals far more, far more quickly, and for far less MP than any magic healer can do, with almost no effort, and lets you use Opera and 3 other good characters, instead of weighing your party down with Rena or some other caster, all of whom are worthless.

If your short term memory is bad like mine then it would behoove you to keep some paper and a pencil around. The game has lots of little puzzles and things that require pattern recognition.

Mid-air loving dodge.

Mario and Link? Nerfed. Game and Watch and Luigi? BETTER.

It helps to be selfish around big item drops, like from a party ball. If you want items, try and draw the person guarding them away, then circumventing them, smashing them away and jamming on the 'a' button.

Careful of fast attacks! Capt. Falcon's forward-B leaves you without a third jump, as does Meta-Knight's cyclone. Worse, Marth's final smash can actually launch you off the stage if you miss!

Unless you're great at timing PK Flash, Lucas is (sadly) better than Ness.

Don't pick New Pork City unless you want everyone to loving hate you. Electroplankton is a close second.

The Heavy, while perhaps the most memeable of the cast, is actually quite a good starting point for a new player. Partnered up with the tech savvy Medic, this duo can easily dominate the battle field. Just make sure you're running up to date YaegerKillerz bot client to ensure your initial stunna shades drop, as well as working a sizeable chunk out of your Portal 2 diaper hat (account bound).

And the last, most important thing: hit your boy up for 8 hour 2fort bot scrims.

If ever you find yourself passing cars, slow down. You've likely missed a speed limit decrease, and the fine for speeding is one of the biggest. (In the event it's not a speed limit change, slowing down still helps you avoid whatever slowed that car down)

Generally when you get a quest asking to feed a Gromp a specific Bugsnax that can be broken down into smaller parts (eg; Big Bopsicle), any of the smaller parts are "valid" for that even if it's one like the Picantis or Snoopy Banoopy that break down into multiple regular Bugsnax rather than partial/mini versions of the original.

Sometimes the owl will talk forever and then ask "would you like me to repeat all of that?" and the default answer will be "yes" instead of "no", and I think sometimes the default is "no" or the question is worded differently. So pay close attention so you don't start him up again unintentionally.

  • Don't give anything important to Georg. The bastard wanders off several times, for hours at a time.

  • Don't give anything valuable to Sialeeds either. Just loving trust me.

  • Use a guide unless you're really keen on wandering around talking to everyone you can access at every point in the game. And even then missing the good ending because you answered a question incorrectly at some point.
