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 of all, I never google, I duck duck go things, or on rare occasions I might even Bing them.

    Second, I only do it if I’ve already beaten the game and am looking for things I missed. Otherwise its an absolute last resort if I’m really super stuck and think I would completely bail on the game because of it. I still hate doing that, its nearly impossible to get the specific answer without seeing spoilers for other things.
