Rushing Warframes Is Kinda Lame

So apparently Dante is a lot of fun. Dante in this case being the new Warframe released in Dante Unbound, the most recent Warframe update. The archivist Warframe has an exalted book and a ton of cool features, including some ghostly owls and the ability to create vast, vast amounts of Overguard, which is basically overshields except way better. Honestly, Overguard pisses all over overshields and frames that rely on overshields, but that’s not the topic of this article. Today, I want to talk about Warframe build times, while I patiently wait for Dante to finish cooking in my foundry.… [Continue Reading]

On Getting A Massage

I’ve wanted a massage for ages. While I’m normally someone who’s not a fan of being touched by strangers, the idea of someone gently rubbing my back with some nice-smelling oil is very appealing. So, when my family asked what I wanted for my birthday, I decided to actually be useful for once, not say “I don’t know” and actually ask for one. I was given a voucher for a local massage place and, a couple of weeks later, I actually booked a session and went. Now, normally, something like this wouldn’t be that noteworthy. I mean, it’s just a… [Continue Reading]

Tinder’s UI is Annoying as fuck

Let’s be blunt. I’m single. I’m kinda lonely. I kinda want a boyfriend or a girlfriend or something. I’m gonna try Tinder. I’ve used Tinder in the past, to varying degrees of success. In fact, Tinder is the reason why I wasted a year and a half of my life on a guy who really didn’t want to leave his comfort zone. And this article in particular, I originally created it in late 2021 when I started using the app. You’d think, all these years later, things would improve, but no, things are definitely worse now. I think the graphics… [Continue Reading]

A Warfame’s Fictional Writings

“So, why are we waiting again?” Frost asked as he threw an energy pad on the ground and tutted. “I wanted to wait for a whole squad!” Volt replied, fiddling with his Vectis. It had been a while since Volt had done anything apart from close Void Fissures on his own, and for some reason, he’d decided to head to the weird Entrati Labs on Deimos, mostly out of curiosity. The Cavia, a weird team of Void-touched animals, led by an oddly almost normal human being by the name of Loid, needed their help, and that had made Volt start… [Continue Reading]

A Pirate Persona

Now I’m not actually a very violent person. Sure, I play video games, and my favourite video game involves being a yellow mass-murdering space ninja, but I’m rather tame. Heck, my online alias, Arkay, is named after one of my Phoviverse characters, a friendly death god who doesn’t like his job and spends way too long explaining that he’s more than just death, he’s also the personification of energy changing forms. However, out on the Sea of Thieves though, I’m a monster. I even have a persona for my pirate. My pirate is, well, not evil, but definitely not the… [Continue Reading]

Mega Heracross Raid Day

Raid days are fun, and it’s nice to have a chance to get a shiny for a Pokemon that’s normally a regional, but I feel kinda ripped off about this one. It was a pretty standard raid day, and we did get 8 free raids (5 additional passes, plus the previous day’s pass, plus this month’s bonus of two free passes a day) and I did a few extra raids with premium passes. Most of the raids, we did as a duo, me and my brother, because he really wanted the shiny, and Heracross is one of his favourite Pokemon.… [Continue Reading]

Mediocre Research Rewards, Still…

Alongside the Team Rocket Takeover event, we got a timed research quest with two stages. The first stage was pretty simple but also a tad long, and involved nothing but catching 25 dark types, with a reward for every 5 dark types you caught. All you got was some XP and a Vullaby encounter but since the majority of spawns during the event were dark types, I didn’t expect too much. I suppose the Vullaby encounter was nice because they were rare spawns, but still, it was a simple task with a simple reward. However, the second part of this… [Continue Reading]

I Like Disruption Now

Alright, so I never liked Disruption as a game mode. I found it annoying and tedious and I never enjoyed it, despite Disruption being one of the fairer game modes out there. And with Disruption being the main focus of the Dante Unbound update, I kinda wasn’t looking forward to playing it and grinding forever to get Dante. Luckily, some changes were made to make things easier. Now, Disruption is pretty simple. It’s described as “defending some conduits to get rewards” but it’s way, way faster than mobile defense. You kill a bunch of enemies until one of them drops… [Continue Reading]

On Making Up Words and Languages

When it comes to writing the sort of weird fantasy fiction I write, I need to come up with a lot of fake words. One of the major things about the Phoviverse is that humans practically don’t exist in the main universe. In fact, humans haven’t properly existed since the MK3 Phoviverse, where they did exist and they did live near some of the larger races (mostly the Temthan and Kronospast empires) but in MK4, humans were reduced to a handful of references as a single race that lived on a single planet deep within Kronospast territories, where the Kronospasts… [Continue Reading]

Bagon Community Day Classic

Classic Community Days are basically just a chance to get an old Community Day to come back. While everyone has been desperate for Beldum and Metagross to come back, we got Bagon and Salamence in the mean time. Bagon definitely isn’t a bad pick, it is definitely a strong dragon type, and many people have Shadow Bagons they want to evolve. I don’t, I didn’t even get a decent 2* Bagon worth evolving, but Shadow Salamence IS one of the strongest dragon types available, only really beaten by Rayquaza, its Mega and Salamence’s own Mega. The event was mostly a… [Continue Reading]
