I’d probably add “Save Early, Save Often, Save Multiple.” because there are so many ways to accidentally softlock yourself making the game totally unwinnable without realizing it until hours later.

There’s a reason most of us as kids started out with descriptive save names like `INNKEEP.SAV` and `BUYSLED.SAV`, and then halfway through the playthrough it's just `1.SAV`, `2.SAV`, `3.SAV`, etc. :)
