Thoughts on the 3900th Article and more

This isn’t the 3900th article. In fact, the 3900th article was posted back on September 27th. And, for a change, it wasn’t an article that I wrote. Glacier penned a fantastic article about Halo’s Digsite Matters, reviewing it all in a splendid article you can find here. It’s actually a great article, I really like it. I’ve never really been a massive Halo fan, but Glacier’s writing sells it to me. Now I kinda want to play this Crash Site necromancy, to see everything that Bungie wanted to put into Halo and couldn’t. Was this article intended to be the… [Continue Reading]

One of Those Days Where You Don’t Want to Write

I am in a funny mood today. I don’t really want to do anything. I just want to sit around and watch some classic UK-based television shows. Normally, I’m not like this, I’m normally a busy bee, keeping myself occupied with various things, mostly Youtube, writing and video games, although I occasionally do some art too. That being said, I haven’t drawn anything cool in ages. But today is different. There’s laziness in the air and I find myself not wanting to do anything. In particular though, I find myself not wanting to write. This is a bit of a… [Continue Reading]

Faster Than A Speeding Badger

Editor’s note: This article was written by my mum. Today marks the third year since my mum passed away, and I am posting this in memory of her. Her passing was sudden, and the world became a darker place without her presence. Mum was a wonderful woman and the best mum ever. I hope you enjoy this article, which gives us just a small glance into her insane and magnificent mind. My son has a stock range of questions that he brings up roughly every 2 days or so to either confirm an answer I have previously given or to… [Continue Reading]

You Hum It, I’ll Sing It

Editor’s note: The article you are about to read was originally written by my mum, the person who inspired me to write all those years ago. Today would have been her birthday, so, to celebrate, we are publishing this article, originally written in 2008. Mum was the best person in the entire world, and it pains me that she is no longer with us. I hope you enjoy this snippet of my mum’s insanity. You hum it, son, and I’ll play it I am not a musical person, and it is much to my distress – and everyone else’s –… [Continue Reading]

On Moving and Having So Much Crap

I have so much stuff. So much stuff just lying around. I don’t even remember buying some of this stuff, but here I am, looking at my stuff and trying to decide if I want to keep it. Or if I need it or something. I just don’t know. I don’t want to say that I am a hoarder, but I am a bit of a hoarder. I have a lot of things that could easily go into the bin or to a charity shop. Things I don’t remember buying. Things that get given to me to tidy away. I… [Continue Reading]

Things I Kinda Regret in Warframe

Warframe is a big game with a lot of stuff going on. From large updates to the release of new Prime Warframes, it’s easy to get overwhelmed or miss out on various things. Simply put, some mistakes were made. Here are some of mine. My choices in the New War I kinda rushed my way through the New War. I didn’t really enjoy Drifter’s combat and was desperate to get back to normal Warframe. Because of this, I ended up making a few mistakes. One of them was not taking the time to actually fight the third Archon. I was… [Continue Reading]

A Ramble About Updating Things

Everything these days seems to need updating. It’s rare that something will just go on working without any sort of outside influence, at least online. And since everything is online now, it’s easier to update things. But frankly, updates for the things I regularly use have been pissing me off lately. Recently, I got a notification to update the theme we use here on the Daily SPUF. It’s a pretty simple thing, nothing unusual. Unfortunately though, an update to the theme actually kinda broke the website. For some reason, the menu was broken and massive icons filled the screen. I… [Continue Reading]

Dragonball Z Abridged

When I was young, I somehow seemed to watch quite a lot of Dragonball Z. This was back when I lived in the UK and we had things like Sky and Cartoon Network. The show 0n Cartoon Network was dubbed into English, and I recall it never ever seeming to end. There were endless power-ups and new forms to take and things like that. Back then, being a 10-year-old girl, I preferred things like Dexter’s Lab and the Power Puff Girls, but after those, we’d watch a bit of Dragonball Z. We probably watched bits from other series of Dragonball,… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon GO and Me

I have a habit about ranting about Pokemon GO. It’s a very simple game that has made a ton of money, but the company behind the game, Niantic, constantly make weird decisions about various game features. As of late, they have been constantly changing the item bundles in the store, and they’ve reduced remote raid usage by limiting remote raids to five per day. Niantic’s relationship with its players and customers is all over the place, and a lot of its Quality of Life changes have been slowly disappearing. Even right now, I could make an argument about how remote… [Continue Reading]

RIP My Black Pen

Whenever I draw something, I often want to outline it in black pen. After all, my pencil line art is very messy, to say the least. I draw lines over lines over lines with my pencils, and it’s very easy for my pencil work to all smudge together into one horrible line of grey. So in order for my drawings to not end up in a giant, massive, grey mess, I use a black pen and go over all the lines with that. Once I’m done with the black lines, I can then erase all the pencil lines, leaving a… [Continue Reading]
