Pokemon GO’s Beyond GO Update and Speculations Overall

November 20, 2020November 20, 2020 Medic 0 Comments generation 6, kalos, level 50, pokemon go, ramble, rant, speculation, update

Both my two main games right now have massive updates coming up. Warframe has Deimos Arcana, which may already out by the time you’re reading this. Pokemon GO on the other hand is going to have a MASSIVE update with huge changes. Not only will levels increase to level 50, but we’re going to be seeing changes to the spawning and more. The more technical places like the Silph Road are all over this stuff, and there’s a huge amount to talk about. And by huge, I mean huge. We’re basically talking about a fundamental change to Pokemon GO. Level… [Continue Reading]

The Feeling of Weight

November 19, 2020November 9, 2020 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments mech, mecha

I am a big fan of mecha. The holy grail of video games for me is a mecha game where I get to customize my own mech, which I can then pilot to pummel things that are my size or larger. And the keyword here is pummel. I am not looking to shoot something in my giant death machine with limbs, I am looking to clobber something with said limbs. However, there is always a niggling thought at the back of my mind whenever I’m thinking about a mech game: Is this a mecha game, or is it just a… [Continue Reading]

Daemon X Machina

November 18, 2020November 9, 2020 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments Daemon X Machina

The first I heard of this game, it was in Nintendo’s E3 2018 trailer. Just a little thing about me, but I like mechs as much as Medic likes dragons, and I always want a new mech action game. I mean, Into The Breach is nice, but I don’t want to play a mech game as a commander in an RTS. Piloting the giant machines is the fun part. I was extremely excited for the game until I realized it was, at the time, a Switch exclusive. So I just moved on until yesterday when I saw it on sale… [Continue Reading]

The Problem With Exalted Weapons

November 17, 2020November 9, 2020 Medic 0 Comments amble, baruuk, exalted weapons, excalibur, garuda, mesa, ramble, rant, titania, warframe

An Exalted Weapon in Warframe is an ability where you summon a magical weapon and wreck havoc with it. There are different types of Exalted Weapon and, generally, they drain energy as you use them, in exchange for sheer power. But while exalted weapons are both cool and powerful, they are not always consistent. And, sometimes, there are better options out there. Exalted Weapons are Harder to Mod The first big issue with exalted weapons is that they are finicky to mod. They’re not consistent and can’t use all mods. Originally, you actually couldn’t mod exalted weapons. Instead, they borrowed… [Continue Reading]

The Problem With The Steel Essence Farm

November 16, 2020November 14, 2020 Medic 2 Comments farm, steel essence, steel path, warframe

With the upcoming Deimos Arcana update, there’s going to be a lot of changes to a lot of things. Part of the changes include one to Steel Path. Particularly how you get Steel Essence. The Steel Path overall is a bit tedious. It’s the normal star chart but everything is way, way tankier. There’s only two reasons to do it: Mastery and Steel Essence, which can be traded in to Teshin for various rewards. But unless you go looking, Steel Essence is hard to come across. Currently, on the Heart of Deimos update, it has a chance to drop Eximus… [Continue Reading]

I Haven’t Seen An Aron In Ages – Constant Pokemon Go Events

November 15, 2020November 6, 2020 Medic 0 Comments aron, events, hoenn, pokemon go

A while back, I mentioned that I started a second Pokemon Go account, so I could re-experience (and eventually write about) the new player experience. The ‘little account’, as it is often called, doesn’t get out much. In fact, it mostly just sits at home. Adventure sync barely works on it, and I’m often too lazy to set up a mobile hotspot. So this little account mostly just sees spawns at home. That being said, I’ve made some good progress on the little account. It successfully completed the Team Rocket research for Mewtwo and has a Vullaby, a Pokemon I’ve… [Continue Reading]

My New Favourite Warframe Loadout

November 14, 2020November 5, 2020 Medic 0 Comments kuva bramma, loadout, twin grakatas, warframe, zaw

In the hours between failing the MR30 test and completing the MR30 test the next day, I went through a lot of resources. While I flailed around, I needed to try a lot of things. I went through various weapons and builds, not really sure what I was doing wrong. In the end, the problem wasn’t with my weapons, but my own performance. Anyway, when that was over, I decided to just dick around doing random missions. During which I used a slightly different version of what I used to do that MR30 test. Maybe it was the euphoria from… [Continue Reading]

A Look Back At Pokemon GO’s Halloween Event

November 13, 2020November 4, 2020 Medic 0 Comments event, halloween, pokemon go, recap

Pokemon GO always has pretty good Halloween events, and this year was pretty good as well. There were lots of nice bonuses, lots of Pokemon to catch and plenty of shinies to not be caught. We also had plenty of smaller events alongside the Halloween spawns, and there was plenty of things to do. Of course, though, there were some downsides as well. Amazing event bonuses I mean, who doesn’t like double candy? Even if it’s for things like Gastly and Misdreavus. Ghost types, particularly Gengar and Chandelure, are always helpful Pokemon to have. We also got double transfer candy… [Continue Reading]

Transferring Pokemon from GO to HOME costs energy, which can be recharged with coins, or done slowly over time.

A Quick Look At Sending Pokemon from Pokemon GO to Pokemon HOME

November 12, 2020November 11, 2020 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, pokemon home, transfer

Finally, Pokemon GO has some sort of connection to other Pokemon games. Sure, it’s a rather tentative, one-way path, but it’s there. Now, you can transfer Pokemon from Pokemon GO to Pokemon HOME. However, the process is one-way, and you can’t transfer anything to Pokemon GO. Not that you really need to, considering how many Legendaries you can get in Pokemon GO. All it requires is some patience and a Nintendo account. The process is kinda simple. After you have connected a Nintendo account with your Pokemon GO account (or, in my case, made a Nintendo account), you can just… [Continue Reading]

Primed Sure Footed – The Best Quality of Life Mod Ever

November 11, 2020November 2, 2020 Medic 0 Comments modding, prime mod, primed mod, primed sure footed, qol, warframe

Earlier this year, on a whim, I decided to max out Primed Sure Footed. I’ve never actually used the normal Sure Footed mod before, but Primed Sure Footed offered 100% knockdown resistance, so I thought I’d give it a go. Normally I wouldn’t max out a very expensive primed mod, but eh, I was flush with Endo at the time. Turns out, Primed Sure Footed is absolutely amazing. But first, the downsides. Before I talk about how amazing Primed Sure Footed is, I have to tell you that it’s an EXPENSIVE mod. While, yes, Primed Sure Footed IS an Exilus… [Continue Reading]
