Persian

December 12, 2019December 7, 2019 Medic 0 Comments meowth, persian, pokemon, ramble

If there’s a Pokemon who’s had it more rough than Raichu, the unloved and often ignored evolution of game mascot Pikachu, it’s definitely got to be Persian, the evolution of fan favourite Meowth. I wrote about Raichu somewhat recently, and what with the release of Pokemon Sword and Shield, things seemed to get even worse for the elder electric mouse Pokemon. Not only is the Alolan version ignored, but Raichu doesn’t even get a Gigantamax version despite the fact Pikachu does. If you get a Pikachu from Let’s Go Pikachu, it won’t ever evolve into a Raichu. Persian’s predicament is… [Continue Reading]

The Mercenary

December 11, 2019December 6, 2019 Medic 0 Comments mercenary, ramble, Risk of Rain 2

Sometimes I wonder why I do strange things. Sometimes I wonder why I do things and end up liking those strange things. The Mercenary, a character from Risk of Rain 2, is one of those strange things. You see, I play Risk of Rain mostly blind. While I’ve ‘watched’ a streamer and Youtuber play Risk of Rain 2 (he has a marathon run that lasts FOUR HOURS), I’ve never really watched it, it’s mostly just background noise while I do other things. After all, if I’m reading or writing or drawing, sometimes I want something that will play to itself… [Continue Reading]

The Best Butts in Warframe

December 10, 2019December 5, 2019 Medic 1 Comment ass, assassin, assassination, assault, assistance, butt, buttocks, butts, nude, warframe

With the recent release of Wisp, the butt has suddenly become a very well-talked about topic in Warframe. There’s so much high quality booty in Warframe that you can’t deny not thinking about it. But the question is, who has the best butt of them all? Really, that depends on your personal preferences. Some people like normal butts, some people like small butts, some people like really big, in your face butts. But luckily, Warframe has enough nice ass for everyone. Seriously, there really is a thing for everyone. If you want female butts, then the biggest and plumpest by… [Continue Reading]

Another example of a vector graphic converted into a JPG. I have a version of this file that's 50cm across for some reason.

Vector Artwork Is Awesome

You see that Daily SPUF logo up there? The one in the top corner of your current tab? The little black sticky bomb? The favicon? That there is a small PNG file. If I wanted to make that bigger, it would go all pixel-y and horrible. Of course, that little sticky bomb is a smaller version of the somewhat official Daily SPUF logo (which is honestly just the Lobster font and the sticky bomb from the Demoman’s class emblem) and I have a full-sized logo somewhere, but if I just made that favicon bigger, it would look bad. Ah, I… [Continue Reading]

The Very Sudden December Raid Event

December 8, 2019December 7, 2019 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, raid, shiny, starter

All of a sudden, not only did we suddenly get a whole weird evolution themed event, centered around Pokemon who evolve with items or in other strange ways, but we also very weirdly got a three hour raid event, on Saturday the 7th. This raid event featured not Pokemon who evolve with items, nor Pokemon who evolve in other weird ways, but… just the Kanto Starter Pokemon and their evolutions. So we had Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander (in level 1 raids), Ivysaur, Wartortle, Charmeleon (in level 2 raids), Venusaur, Blastoise and Charizard (in level 4 raids) popping up on all applicable… [Continue Reading]

Risk of Rain 2 and a Really Weird Difficulty Spike

December 8, 2019December 3, 2019 Medic 0 Comments difficulty, multiplayer, ramble, Risk of Rain 2

I’ve been playing a lot of Risk of Rain 2 lately and, thanks to the help of my siblings and one of my siblings’ significant other, we’ve managed to get a lot unlocked. Every time we play and inevitably die, there’s always a “one more run” feel. And since it’s (mostly) pretty low in terms of computer resources (although far more than the original), we can play Risk of Rain 2 on all our crappy laptops. In fact, both my brother and I nominated Risk of Rain 2 for Steam’s Game of the Year award, because frankly it’s the only… [Continue Reading]

Recreating my original early-game look, with the MK1-Bo, Paris and my Furis which I still have. I wonder what I would have thought of the Plains of Eidolon back when I was new.

Finely Balancing Helping Newbies in Warframe

December 7, 2019December 1, 2019 Medic 0 Comments newbie, warframe

The other day, while doing random fissures with a clan mate, they asked how I’m still playing this game when I’m MR27 and other clan mates are already MR28. I kinda shrugged and didn’t give them a whole answer. Often the case is that there’s always something little to farm, like new Primed gear, or earning Focus, or things like that. But the one thing I neglected to mention is that I mostly just like helping random players, whether it’s accompanying someone as they take down a particularly annoying Lich or helping someone find Cephalon fragments on Mars. It’s a… [Continue Reading]

Burgers, Meatballs and Other Lumps of Meat

December 6, 2019November 29, 2019 Medic 0 Comments burger, food, nom, SPUFood

As I was writing this the other day, I had burgers cooking in the oven. I made them a bit too thick and wanted to make sure they were completely cooked all the way through, because I used pork mince rather than beef mince. The smell is pretty nice but somewhat overpowered by a BBQ sauce I made because I’m going to cook BBQ chicken drumsticks tomorrow. But as I was making the burgers, a simple thought wandered into my mind: “Oh my god, this is actually really easy.” And the more I think about it, the more I think… [Continue Reading]

Different Ways to Play Skyrim

December 5, 2019November 28, 2019 Medic 0 Comments Skyrim

At the base of it all, Skyrim isn’t really that amazing a game. On release, it was filled with billions of bugs, and to this day through not only the normal version but also Skyrim Special Edition, there’s a ton of bugs that need community patches to fix. Most of Skyrim’s fame comes from its accessibility and good looks, but also because it’s an Elder Scrolls game that finally has actual dragons in it. Let’s face it, those dragons are cool. Frankly though, Skyrim hasn’t aged that well, despite being ported into a 64 bit version and for newer consoles… [Continue Reading]

On Bread and Butter Pudding

December 4, 2019November 27, 2019 Medic 0 Comments ramble, random, SPUFood, sugar

Bread and Butter Pudding is weird. It’s bread and butter and milk and eggs and sugar. But it’s… it’s so tasty. And probably really bad for you. Bread Pudding is the same thing. But bread and butter pudding and bread pudding are kinda two different puddings. Not the same thing. But I made some bread and butter pudding and I just want to share how simple this is. Simple Bread and Butter Pudding Ingredients: Small loaf of white bread Butter, softened 2-3 eggs A bunch of sugar A bottle of milk Some sort of thing to sprinkle though the pudding,… [Continue Reading]
