Maybe something you learned the hard way, or something you found out right before making a huge mistake.

E.g., for audiophiles: don't buy subwoofers from speaker companies, and don't buy speakers from subwoofer companies.

In Magic the Gathering it's usually correct to wait to play instant spells until your opponent's turn, either on their upkeep or end step in most cases. Waiting as long as you can gives you more information to make the best play.

Ancient coins (2000-1700 years old) are surprisingly common and can be had very cheaply unless you want a specifically rare or perfect one.

I went through most of my life believing that anything older than say 200 years was automatically a museum piece or equivalent. But most museums of ancient history who display ancient coins have multitudes of the displayed coins sitting in storage. The Romans alone minted BILLIONS of coins over the span of the Republic and the Empire (that's over 1000 years of history!) and if even 1% of them survive today, that's still many, many dozens of millions.

Don't use thick lube for unresponsive yoyos and vice versa. Thick lube will make an unresponsive yoyo more responsive which you don't want.

And don't stress about playing a soulslike a certain way and don't listen to gatekeeping haters. Play whatever way you want - it's a game after all and you bought it for your pleasure
