I Hate Facebook

Medic 0 Comments ,

I hate Facebook. There’s a multitude of reasons why everyone should hate Facebook, like the fact that they buy up everything they can, they sell off your anonymous data to advertisers, they’ve had multiple vaguely worrying security breaches or the fact that, for a while, Facebook staff had access to people’s actual Facebook passwords. Simply put, Facebook has a way of worming its way into every bloody aspect of your life. Before I start, yes, I know there is some irony in writing an article about how Facebook sucks and having that automatically shared on Facebook. Frankly though, out of… [Continue Reading]

On Easy Web Design

Medic 0 Comments , ,

These days, it’s piss easy to get a website made. It’s in fact piss easy to make a website yourself. Without even paying any money. There is a multitude of free shit out there that does all the hard work for you, throwing a bunch of templates at your face and letting you customize the colours and all that. Most of these website builders just have pre-built templates and you enter the text and images yourself in predetermined locations. In fact, the more you look at it, the more you realise that ‘designing’ a website is in fact really easy.… [Continue Reading]

Nightwave Episode 2 – An Infested Cult?

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Nightwave Episode 2 is here and with it comes a slew of tasks and challenges very similar to Nightwave Episode 1 and Nightwave Intermission. There are 30 levels with various rewards and you earn standing by doing daily, weekly and elite weekly challenges to level yourself up. What is different this time, aside from the big rewards, is the theme. We finally got something new when it comes to Infested. A while Nightwave episode. Actually, I say that but it’s not really about the Infested themselves. In fact, Nora states in her very first opening presentation that the Infested is… [Continue Reading]

A quick note before I start: This article is a bit more emotional and might be distressing to some readers. I don’t normally write articles like this, but sometimes you just need to talk about some things. I’ve been having nightmares the last few days. I don’t normally have nightmares and rarely are they ever recurring ones. A thread on r/askreddit changed that, when I stumbled into a post about ‘disruptive’ children being ‘sent off’. I knew that sending kids away to ‘private schools’ and ‘wilderness clubs’ and things like that were a thing, after all I remember adverts for… [Continue Reading]

Tennocon 2019

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I should point out, I wrote most of this at 3am. Because I stayed up to watch Tennolive. But Tennocon is cool. Oh so very cool. And this year, we got to watch all the shows and presentations, as they were all streamed on Twitch. That meant we got to see lots of cool stuff that was all teased as “Maybe” or “SOON.” While we’re watching the stream, people at the convention itself are doing Q&As and meeting staff and things like that. We can also buy literally everything Baro Ki’Teer has ever sold from a special Tennocon relay with… [Continue Reading]

Tennocon Assumptions

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Time zones suck. All the cool things always seem to happen in time zones that I am not in. One of those many cool things is Tennocon, the big developer stream by Digital Extremes, done live at a real life exhibition in Ontario, Canada, where we are shown all the cool shit that the devs have been working on and plan to release in the near future. The last two Tennocons that I saw brought us the Plains of Eidolon and Fortuna. Fortuna in particular was pretty insane because it started off with the song “We All Lift Together”, which… [Continue Reading]

Jump-Start Special Research – The Best Special Research Ever

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

For Pokemon Go’s anniversary, a new special research quest was released and frankly, I think it’s the best special research they’ve ever released. Like, seriously, this 6 stage quest is awesome. First off, this quest is really fucking easy. The only hard bit is the fact that you have to make two new friends, one on stage 1 and one on stage 6, but there’s loads of ways to make friends even if you’re the only person around who plays Pokemon Go, and at some point you have to battle another trainer in the Great League in PvP – something… [Continue Reading]

Playing with (Mostly Silent) Randoms

Medic 0 Comments ,

When I started playing Warframe, I would do so under two circumstances. I would either play completely solo or I would be dragged through missions by an old friend of mine. Mostly unwillingly. I can’t complain at being dragged through though, because all these years later, Warframe is my most-played game on Steam, beating out the hours upon hours I’ve spent troubleshooting Skyrim. Thing is, it took a very long time for me to start playing missions with randoms,in public matches. It can be daunting and scary, especially when you’re matched up with people who are way fancier, way faster… [Continue Reading]

Medic’s Dragon Mod Recommendations for Skyrim

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

I love dragons. I want to be a dragon. But the closest I’ll ever get to that is my strange mod setup for Skyrim, involving the Play As A Dragon Mod and Open Cities Skyrim. Still, those two mods on their own aren’t that great. Even if you don’t want to be a dragon, the vanilla dragons in Skyrim can be a bit boring, so you might need some other dragon mods as well. Here are a bunch of recommendations of dragon mods that I think you should at least try. These are all for Legendary Edition (which is what… [Continue Reading]

TM352 Web, Mobile and Cloud Technologies – A Review

Medic 2 Comments , , , ,

It seems weird to review an Open University course but I feel like I should, considering that it’s the last Open University course I did and I had very, very mixed opinions about it. While I enjoyed TM352 more than those infernal design courses (looking at you, TM356), I found this course to be… weird. There were problems in TM352 that I didn’t have at all in other courses. At first glance, the content of TM352 is pretty technical and enjoyable. The first block was definitely enjoyable. It did somewhat throw you into the deep end a little bit if… [Continue Reading]
