Your Shameful Gaming Secrets

I... don't have Pokémon Home. ^_^; I keep telling myself I'll get it but I never do! (I should; I've got a Delphox to bring over from X and a few I wanna keep from my first SoulSilver run - namely my Quagsire, my Ampharos and potentially my Ninetales and Pidgeot. Once I'm done with those games, I'm gonna Bank 'em then bring them over to Home. Also wanna stash my three Violet shinies - the Rufflet and the two Eiscue - in case something breaks again.)

That's a page topper and a half... adding a quick bit of context.

I beat the first two Tomb Raiders using the level skip cheat... I was terrified of the first game's final boss and godawful at the final level of the second game

I beat Twisted Metal 2 and 3... using invincibility cheats. Never had the guts to play them normally.

Eh, I've cheated at almost every video game I've played.
Like.
You could probably count the number of games I haven't cheated at, on two hands—

You ain't alone there. I often look up solutions to games if I have trouble finding them myself.

I didn't wait for Shadow the first time I played through Final Fantasy VI

I’ve owned way too much video game merchandise since I was a kid to today. My poor parents and my poor wallet.

In Baldur's Gate III I have managed to push one of my party members to a botomless chasm. I think I even got the achievement for killing someone that way.

I used the item duplication glitch in generation 1. Aside from rare candies and master balls, I never considered using them on TMs.

I really hate the fact that my younger Angry Birds-addicted self never thought of getting Angry Birds Trilogy, not just for the awesomeness of playing AB Classic, Seasons, and Rio on the big screen, but as a means of being able to revisit some of my favorite childhood games whenever I like. What makes this worse is that the game had ports on the Wii, Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS, which are all systems that my siblings and I own.

I... skipped generations 7 and 8 of Pokémon. ^_^; I want to do either Sword or Shield as a prequel for my Violet trainer Anna, and eventually maybe also do a gen 7 story with another OC?

grrr typo

I beat the final boss of Tears of the Kingdom by backing him into a wall so even when he dodged I'd still get him eventually.

I recently beat Doom and Doom II on Ultra-Violence, but I used the resurrect code almost every time I died.

I've been playing Minecraft for years ^note  The earliest estimate I can give as to when I started playing is either 2012 or 2013, since Pocket Edition came out around that time and I was 5 or 6 years old! , and I still can't do redstone properly!

When I played New Super Mario Bros. 2 as a kid, I was terrified of the Boohemoth. I'm an adult now and I still kinda am.

I fully transformed all the Grumpuses with Bugsnax in Bugsnax.

I don't have the patience to find a Pokémon with a special mark whenever Scarlet/Violet has a Mass Outbreak event with such. Not that I haven't tried to find one, of course, but I just end up getting bored of battling/catching over and over again too quickly.

I didn't have the guts or patience to play Mega Man X5 in the Normal or Xtreme difficulties at first.

When playing Fallout 4, I will sometimes shoot the limbs off of dead characters for fun.

When I was a kid, I tried to play Star Trek: 25th Anniversary. Emphasis on “tried.” I always died whenever I engaged in ship-to-ship combat, because I had no idea what the shell I was doing. x_x

That was me playing a SNES Star Trek Next Generation game. After finally figuring out how to complete the first away mission, I'd get in a space battle and die every time.

My first [1] playthrough ended when I couldn't beat a camp of random lizalfos in the desert.

I finally listened to "Piranha Plants on Parade" after months of trying to avoid any spoilers for Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and tbh, it gave me Hype Backlash. It was a lot shorter than I was expecting, and while I like the happy march tune, the way people were talking about it made me think it was going to be something grandiose and epic.

One person even said it was better than "Peaches," and I personally disagree.

Maybe PPOP is more enjoyable when you're playing the game for the first time and you haven't heard anything about it on the internet.

It was enjoyable for me until i had to relisten about 5 times cause I couldn't find the secret exit in the level.

This video with lyrics is really cute.

I've never cleared Sonic 2 with all the Chaos Emeralds without using Save States.

Me neither. The seventh special stage is just too much for me.
