Things That Annoy Me About The Buddy System in Pokemon GO

October 4, 2023September 22, 2023 Medic 0 Comments buddy, pokemon go, rant

I like the buddy system in Pokemon GO. It’s very simple and basic, but it’s nice to have a companion Pokemon that follows you around and gives you certain gifts and buffs as you level your buddy up. But the system is certainly not perfect, and there are definitely some things that annoy me. My first pet peeve is feeding buddies with berries. You need three berries initially to get started and have your buddy wander around, and feeding it additional berries will keep your buddy out in the real world. To earn hearts, you have to feed your buddy… [Continue Reading]

A Ramble About Updating Things

August 2, 2023July 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments ramble, rant, update

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]

RIP My Black Pen

July 3, 2023June 23, 2023 Medic 0 Comments drawing, pen, ramble, rant

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]

They need to be bigger/smaller…

June 28, 2023June 18, 2023 Medic 1 Comment pokemon go, rant, size, XXL, XXS

When I used to play Pixelmon, I spent a lot of time hunting oddly sized Pokemon. The server I played on had special items that randomly changed the size of a specific Pokemon, and you could make your Pokemon either incredibly tiny or incredibly huge. Being someone who had played for quite a while in that server, I accumulated a lot of the size-randoming item, and I used them on quite a few Pokemon. Legendaries would be made huge, while Pokemon I like a lot were made tiny. My favourite Pokemon was a shiny Houndoom that I had made tiny.… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon that I am sick and tired of seeing.

June 24, 2023June 14, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, rant

Normally, when you get a new season in Pokemon GO, there’s a shakeup when it comes to Pokemon spawns. You get different Pokemon spawning in the wild, both common and uncommon Pokemomn. However, between seasons 10 and 11, well, not much happened. Here are a bunch of Pokemon that I am sick and tired of seeing, despite being in different seasons. Sandshrew When season 10 ended, I was hoping we’d see less Sandshrew. Sandshrew has been dicking around since before December 2022, in both its forms. Both Kanto and Galar Sandshrew have been spawning constantly. Whenever I use my daily… [Continue Reading]

On The Jetpack Social Plugin

June 20, 2023June 10, 2023 Medic 0 Comments jetpack, ramble, rant, scum

Jetpack is a plugin that has been tied to WordPress for a very long time. It’s got a bit of everything in it. I personally use Jetpack to see website stats, like how many people have viewed our website, and to see which articles are popular. However, the other big thing I use Jetpack for is Jetpack Social. Jetpack Social allows you to post to different platforms whenever you make a new post. This plugin would post to Facebook and Tumblr, and can also post to Linkedin as well. It used to post to Twitter as well, but that stopped… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon GO’s Season 10 Has Kinda Sucked

June 4, 2023May 25, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, rant, season

Season 10: Rising Heroes has sucked. It’s been an all-round mediocre season with not much going on. In fact,it’s been so boring that I’m actually writing about it. This season not only has been boring, but it’s also been limiting, and not much good has actually happened. But why? The seasonal spawns suck It’s been nothing but fricking Pidove, with a smattering of Starly, Weedle, Caterpie and the odd Patrat. Pidove seemed to take up most of the spawns. In windy weather, it and Starly made up most of the spawns, aside from the odd Drifbloon. And of course there’s… [Continue Reading]

Something Needs To Be Done About Host Migration

May 16, 2023May 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments Bug, duviri, Glitch, host migration, rant, warframe

The other day, I lost 45 minutes of Steel Path Circuit progress, due to a random host migration. I’ve got no idea what happened, because I was in a call with some friends, yet there I was, no longer with my squad. After a lot of waiting, I was taken back to my ship, with no option to rejoin my squad or anything. I didn’t even get a Mission Complete or Mission Failed screen. I got nothing. Frankly, I was pretty pissed off. My relationship with Warframe has been stretched as of late, and after losing all that progress, I… [Continue Reading]

My Gripes with Duviri

May 15, 2023May 8, 2023 Medic 0 Comments duviri, rant, warframe

Lately, I’ve had a lot of problems and bugs with the new Duviri update, and it’s starting to depress me. For reasons unknown, everything has been running weirdly in Warframe ever since this update hit. Things are taking a while to load and host migrations are everywhere. Just the other day, I lost 45 minutes worth of Steel Path Circuit, and that REALLY pissed me off. But frankly this update has mostly been a mess. And I have quite a few gripes about it. The biggest problem with it all are long loading screens. Not everyone is using an SSD,… [Continue Reading]

On Hunting Bugs

April 24, 2023April 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments Bug, ramble, rant

Bugs and glitches; they are absolutely everywhere. Anyone or anything that claims to be completely, 100% bug-free is probably lying. There’s bugs in everything. At the same time, there are tons of people trying to squash all these bugs. Programmers and developers can spend huge amounts of man hours trying to find bugs and fix them. I’m potentially one of those people. Sometimes, bugs somehow squeeze their way in all unexpected. This is doubly true for things like WordPress, which generally have tons of plugins and themes, all often made by third parties. With so much going on, a bug… [Continue Reading]
