What is your stance on googling things? (lemmy.zip)

I frequently find myself debating whether to google an item's location or side quest steps. A lot of times, I try to avoid it as long as I can until I eventually give in after exploring an area for hours. But I always feel a little guilty after. But then I'm like, these games are so damn cryptic, I'd have to spend the rest of my life uncovering all the secrets without google.

Thoughts?

First playthrough I go through it blind because you only get to experience it for the first time once. Make mistakes, do what you want.

After that look up whatever you want because there is much less risk of spoilers, and stuff you will probably miss otherwise.

    This is exactly my approach too. I love that these games will let you miss stuff; it makes what you do actually find after you go pull on threads all the more rewarding. After that, well I've had my exploration fun, if I liked the game enough to play it again then it's time to go see what I missed

    I think it was just the two of us, I'm afraid! However I have little else to do this evening and I want to see what you drew, so I think I'm gonna go in and finish some of them. I'll post them in this community and tag you once I do
