You jest, but there's several features of Google-fu you can do to maximize your search efforts.
https://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/20-tips-use-google-search-efficiently.html I can't find the table of condensed information that I used to link to people, but that site has a decent list. "quotes" -hyphens- and .[filetype_without_these_Brackets] helps me find .pdf books/movies/ porn
Another handy tid bit when looking for free movies is to expand search results and follow the DMCA takedowns notices, because they include the link to the website that has the pirated movie up. Yarrrr ( Make sure you have your firewall settings in order! )

Same I always look up the bad ratings but filter it through with logic "games boring", "game crashes my pentium cpu", don't really count I look for more in depth low ratings then I look for any demos and play through that.

Any time im considering a large purchase i Google "issues with [whatever im shopping for]." Usually brings up a bunch of forum posts with people experiencing a problem, and it's easy to see if there are trends.

To me that sounds like such a waste of a good game personally.
Isn't half the fun finding out things yourself?
level 2
I do this with more competitive games, I like to figure things on my own otherwise.

I've been doing the same thing since Gamefaqs existed. I hate when I miss a powerful item or something important to the story very early in the game that is only available in the beginning. Witcher 3 has this (I won't spoil it or say what it is) as did some Final Fantasy game where you get one of the best weapons super early on. I have severe FOMO when it comes to awesome weapons or items.

Right, but can you imagine going 300+ hours without realizing you can use yellow chuchu jellies to complete electricity puzzles without using magnesis

Got The Evil Within on sale and played for a couple days. Googled this yesterday. Find out melee sucks forever. Ffffffffuuuuuuu

Boneworks is a great example of this. There were core mechanics that I didn't know until I searched up a couple of walkthroughs.
Still a great game though. 👍

Priorities set right my friend

Wow, what a great way to ruin games for yourself and eliminate a sense of discovery. You're not on a time limit to complete this game, so why are you trying to optimize the shit out of it before you even touch it?

That would make a great subreddit. Something like r/TIWIKWIS or something else that's actually good. Problem with the google search is it brings to some forum without any checks on the information given. At least reddit has a voting system and a bunch of know it alls to generally promote good info.
level 2
Great idea, but it looks like a dead sub.
level 2
Or when you Google search a question to your answer only to find the replies being "use the search bar", "don't you know how to search in Google!"
level 2
Re-name this to "Things I wish I knew"
TIWIK
Works better.

I feel kinda stupid for having never done this. I just jump in headfirst.
