See the Guides Index for an easy to browse, alphabetical index of all guides sorted alphabetically by game!

This is a chronological archive of all of my Guides and Walkthroughs, usually for niche/indie games it’s hard to find info for.

If you see something that’s missing or have a question to ask, feel free to reach out in the comments or over email! I read all comments and do my best to update any guide no matter how old any time there’s new information or improvements to be made.

These can be of the form of direct walkthroughs, general how-tos with relevant information, or more specific  like trophy conditions, lists of unlisted secrets/cheats/unlocks, or just any info I wish I had known when I started playing.

PokeTwo Guide & Commands List | Pokemon Discord Bot

PokeTwo is a Discord Pokemon game bot designed to be just like the original Pokecord (RIP). It’s the closest to Pokecord I’ve found so far, while MewBot and PokeMeow (which I also have guides for) are more their own thing. If you know how to play Pokecord you’re pretty much already good to go with PokeTwo, but I’ll note everything here for new or confused players!

I do not own PokeTwo! This is a guide written by SirTapTap. Donations to Poketwo do not go to me, so if my guides help, consider supporting my Patreon. Do NOT join SirTapTap’s Discord server for Poketwo. We have permanently removed it due to the spammy, rude community.

2020-12-06: Comments disabled due to repetitive, low quality questions. Look at Bulbapedia for information about specific pokemon, mega evolutions etc. Use p!pokedex to learn specific pokemon’s evultion requirements.

2020-11-17: Video guide added.

2020-09-11: Battles were updated! They still appear to be broken but…now they’re updated.

2020-09-04: Added more information on the (terrible) p!battle command. tl;dr: ignore the DM just use the commands in the channel

2020-08-26: PokeTwo has a p!Market feature now! It’s caught up 100% with Pokecord now more or less. Added more explicit info about how Pokemon spawn in Pokecord (stop spamming! It doesn’t work!) Also added info on p!shinyhunt

2020-08-05: PokeTwo Guide released. Guide should have all commands in the current release of Poketwo.

How To Play PokeTwo

PokeTwo Get Started Guide | Discord Pokemon Game Bot
Watch this video on YouTube.

Pokemon Spawning in PokeTwo

If you played Pokecord, you’re basically up to speed already. PokeTwo is a very direct clone of Pokecord down to the commands, functions, even moreso than MewBot. People chat, Pokemon spawn, you guess their name, you catch them if you’re the first in the channel to do so.

Only real, generally back-and-forth chatting generates Pokemon! Spamming the chat with repeated lines from one person will not reliably generate pokemon, nor is there a ;spawn command or anything of the sort! Most people forget, but Pokecord was designed to encourage chatting on a Discord server. If you’re sitting silently waiting for Pokemon you are playing Pokecord clones wrong. Say hi in a general chat channel and make a dialog to get Pokemon spawning. If you just want to force Pokemon to appear, you want to play PokeMeow instead.

Note PokeTwo is a bit laggier than Pokecord (Discord rate limits surely), and more generous in it’s spawning! So far, it spawns a better variety of Pokemon (more starters etc, less repeats) that I can tell.

YouTube Community Posts Guide – Boost Engagement on YouTube

YouTube Community Posts aren’t a new feature, but I’ve noticed a lot more creators start to use them lately so I thought I’d write up a quick How-To. Community Posts are a great way to keep your audience engaged (and knowing you’re alive) even when you don’t have a new video to post yet!

We’ll run down the choices of posts and how to use them. Note to unlock the Community tab, you must have 1,000 subscribers. It effectively replaces the old “Discussions” tab with better features. If this How To helps, check out my other articles on YouTube!

Where Do YouTube Community Posts Appear?

youtube community posts in home feed

Posts appear in your Community tab on your Channel Page, but most importantly on YouTube Mobile, Posts appear intermixed with the subscriptions/recommendations feed on the front page! Yes, front page billing, though for now it seems to just be on mobile.

Note that Community Posts for recently watched channels can show up even if you don’t subscribe to the channel, so some non-subscribers may see a popular post of yours as well. You’re not guaranteed a slot by The Algorithm of course, which is why it pays to sprinkle your posts a couple times a week instead of just one.

Using YouTube Community Posts

The simplest Community Post is just raw text, which is great to give a heads-up to your followers about upcoming videos, ask questions, or just give a quick status update.

Note that only the first 4 lines of text on your post will show up before a Show More block, so be terse, punchy, or at least lead with a banger.

YouTube Video Posts

The most obvious kind of post, these let you share a video (yours or someone else’s) directly to your audience along with some text. This is a great way to promote quality, older videos that The Algorithm hasn’t graced lately.

You can announce scheduled Livestreams as well

As I note below, Video Posts appear to get circulated less than other post types—or at least, they seem to get a lot less engagement in my experience. Continue reading “YouTube Community Posts Guide – Boost Engagement on YouTube”

Omori Foe Facts Guide (Foes Filed Achievement)

foe factsThis guide has all Foe Facts foe locations and what you need to find every foe in the game for the Foes File achievement. Please note the running from a foe still puts it in Foe Facts! No need to defeat it, this comes in handy for a few. See my Complete Omori Guide for info beyond foe facts.

Note if you’re going for the achievement, the Normal Route cannot complete Foe Facts! Only the Alternate or “Hikikomori” route has access to several enemies. These will be noted with a * in the list.

Omori Guide, Walkthrough, & Achievement Unlocks

Omori from Omocat has finally released after it’s successful Kickstarter over 5 years ago. I’ve decided to make a guide as I’m playing (I’ve been livestreaming it) to help others find all the secrets and surprisingly many hidden achievements in this great psychedelic horror/emotional RPG!

This guide is a work in progress at the moment so as always feel free to post questions or missing information in the comments (I read every one, just like I do on my YouTube)! Please come talk about Omori in our Discord server (be respectful about spoilers!).

Spoilers are minimal but hey, it’s a guide. This mostly explains what is where and where to find things. I’ve intentionally avoided all story details possible.

Everything is going to be okay.
