Dave the Diver – Unlocking Cucumbers and Special Events Guide

July 15, 2023 Guides

In Dave the Diver you actually don’t get cucumbers until fairly late in the game. You may have even noticed in one of the hotfixes shortly after launch that it wouldn’t give you the cucumber event unless you had the farm unlocked. That’s because the events generally cycle in a rotation and you could, in theory, not have done the farmer’s quest by that time. The only actual quest VIP that you have to do for the story is none of them? I think, actually yeah, you don’t have to catch the seahorses to get enough town popularity. So really, you could play forever and never unlock the farm. Not only do you not get cucumbers until fairly late in the game, but there are special events that occur. We’ve got the details and the general rotation they follow below along with how do you get cucumbers on your farm.…

Dave the Diver Auto-Supply Guide (Using Fish Efficiently)

July 4, 2023 Guides

We’ve put together a video guide on how to use auto-supply and, for those who just want to get the details, go into a full description below. We’ll start with our video guide and then if you’d like the text version, we’ve got that supplied beneath. Auto-Supply saves you A LOT of fish in Dave the Diver and isn’t called out all that well in the game. Let’s dig into how to run Bancho Sushi like a pro: Auto-Supply Guide The way Bancho Sushi works in Dave the Diver is that the two prep chefs prepare all the meals for Bancho to cook. As meals are ordered, Bancho cooks them. The number of meals selected is how many meals the cooks will work on and prepare. It seems like the game wants you to set out the exact number of dishes you think customers will want that night. What the…

Dave the Diver Vegetable, Fish and Seaweed Farm Guide

July 14, 2023 Guides

In Dave the Diver you will unlock three different kinds of farms: vegetable, fish and seaweed. You’ll unlock them directly in that order. The game does a fantastic job of going over the basics of each farm, but you may be wanting to know what’s coming up or how to deal with specific mechanics. That’s where our guide comes in. We’ll go into unlocking them and how to efficiently run them. In order to avoid spoiling the game, we will not call any specific character out by name or story. We now also have a video guide on YouTube! Unlocking the Farms The first farm is going to be unlocked by a loud-mouthed guest who visits your sushi restaurant fairly on. They’re going to ask for curry and you have to deliver that dish to them yourself. So not only does it have to be on the menu, but Dave…

Dave the Diver Gold & Bei Guide

July 2, 2023 Guides

Money talks and in Dave the Diver it might literally walk in this mash-up of every kind of adventure and action mechanic thrown into one. Dave the Diver is so much fun, but you’ll need to do a lot of grinding across everything from a Farmville-esq farm to your own hatchery. To fuel it all you’ll need gold above the surface and Bei below the surface. This guide may contain mild spoilers on later game mechanics. Farming Gold in Dave the Diver Gold is obtained through three methods: sushi sales, quests and selling fish and items. The first is going to be your biggest revenue driver and fund your expeditions the most. The second, questing, is going to help get you to the next quest a bit faster and get you some much needed upgrades. The last is reserved for the lower tier fish and any items that are meant…

Dave the Diver Review: A Comfy Sea Adventure

July 8, 2023 Reviews

Dave the Diver Developer: MintRocket MSRP: $19.99 – Steam Dave the Diver captivated me within the first few minutes of playing. After dinner I was on my PC exploring the Blue Hole with Dave and loving every second of it. Dave the Diver is an action 2D/3D mash-up that has you exploring the Blue Hole with Dave while running a seaside Sushi resturant. There’s so much more though jammed into this amazing must play game. Dave the Diver is definitely well put together, the pixel art is striking and the game systems are considerate and have been iterated on efficaciously through the game’s early access. We don’t give any sort of numerical or percentile ranking to games, but if anything about Dave catches your eye then I would definitely say it’s worth the full price admission. It does everything it promises and it does it well and my nights with…

An Open Letter to the Video Game Industry – Reduce Carbon Emissions or We All Get Paper Straws

November 4, 2023 Editorials

More and more I’m becoming an eco-aware person because I’m finding paper straws are showing up more frequently in restaurants. Paper straws are a much more eco-friendlier version of the plastic straw which shouldn’t exist, but do. The mouthfeel of them is so awful and the taste of the beverage so far ruined that it makes me mad respect when the sweet lady at the sushi place behind where I live gets on everyone to reuse their straws. We need to cut carbon emissions fast and it’s growing more obvious each day. If we don’t, paper straws are just the start of the dystopian future where the US starts issuing Star Citizen packages as bonds and Bitcoin is the official in-game currency of World of Warcraft. We don’t need to jux our reality any further from the median into some Demolition Man world with the shells. They’re not the solution…
