    I used to feel pretty clever copying the codes from those "1001 Cheat Code" books and taking the codes home without buying the books.

    GameFaqs.com was one of the most used websites in my home for a while...

    Absolutely loved GameFAQs in the day.

    I've just been replaying Freelancer (2002) for the first time since then, and it's SO refreshing to find comprehensive guides on GaneFAQs which are just plain written text, not even any images.

    If you want to find tips on a modern game you basically have to scan through a bunch of YouTube playthroughs, unless the game is popular enough to have a fleshed-out wiki (versus a placeholder wiki on fandom where basically every page is just enough of a stub to come up in search engine results despite having no actual useful content)

    When I was a kid, we would just go to the local library and rent out the books and make copies at my leisure. If they didn't have the book, the request for it was pretty simple and fairly quick.

    Support your local library !!

    I found out after many years, from my younger brother, that GTA: SA had a campaign. I thought that you only put cheat codes, steal cars, destroy stuff and fuck the police. Oh and make your hair, it had the best barbershops.

    MTX kills my enjoyment in games very fast. Played a game with them before and just gave myself like £50k worth of premium money because it was easy. But the game wasn't fun after a few minutes of that.

    I download my cheats for free if the game's on PC.
