A Chat About Some Fancy Wings

February 28, 2021February 22, 2021 Medic 0 Comments Cosmetic, ephemera, syndana, warframe, wings

Star Days is over. With its disappearance, you’ll no longer be able to buy stuff from Ticker’s special shop. While most of it is just cosmetics, we’ll also be unable to get the Snipetron blueprint for a while. But the biggest thing that’s disappearing is the Eros Wings Ephemera. You know, the wings that tons of people are currently wearing. These wings however are… a little bit controversial. For a large variety of reasons. And I think it’s worth having a closer look at these fancy wings. The wings aren’t actually bad, just out of place. I don’t want to… [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.

On Passing The Help Along

February 27, 2021February 21, 2021 Medic 0 Comments newbie, ramble, warframe

A lot of my early hours in Warframe were spent in a daze. I was dragged from one node to the next, not understanding what I was doing. Despite having a high MR player helping me, I struggled greatly. In fact, I actually rage-quit a few times, especially after being dragged into a Sortie at a fresh MR4. Still using the MK1 Braton. I didn’t actually hit my Warframe stride until quite a bit later on. But along the way, I received a little help from complete strangers. All sorts of help. And not just help with missions! Funnily enough,… [Continue Reading]

The “It’s Not Very Space-Ninja-y” Argument That Makes No Sense

February 26, 2021February 20, 2021 Medic 0 Comments ninja, ramble, space kid, warframe

For years and years, I’ve seen the same argument pop up in Warframe. It doesn’t matter what the overall discussion is, but there’s a high chance this argument will pop up. Whether people are complaining about the art style or a new Warframe or a shiny new weapon or Ephemera, someone will use this argument. No matter what, you can’t escape. It’s always the same one. “This doesn’t fit inside our space ninja game”. The current complaints are about a pair of wings. But the same has been said about everything from the current teased Revenant Deluxe skin, all the… [Continue Reading]

My Thoughts on Community Days with PvP-Orientated Moves

February 25, 2021February 21, 2021 Medic 0 Comments community day, opinion, pokemon go, ramble

Over the last year or so, pretty much every Community Day has been the same. It’s a not very new shiny, that gets a move designed for PvP. The last Pokemon that got a move useful for PvP was Rhydon with Rock Wrecker, back in February 2020. Before then, we had a basic pattern of “cool Pokemon” then “Starter Pokemon”. But 2020 changed all that by bringing back repeat candidates and having… unusual moves. Of course, this hasn’t made everyone happy. And, of course, I’m going to give my opinions on the matter. To be fair, there’s only so much… [Continue Reading]

Beating Team Rocket Leaders with Great League Pokemon

February 24, 2021February 18, 2021 Medic 0 Comments battle, great league, pokemon go, team rocket

Whenever the Team Rocket Leaders get new Pokemon, you always get a cool little wave of excitement in nerdier places. The first little wave is discussing what Pokemon the Leaders now have, and whether they can be shiny. After that, discussion moves on to the Leaders’ teams and how to counter them. But once that dust settles, another question is asked. Can these teams be beaten with cheap alternatives and lower CP Pokemon? The answer is normally yes. And it’s doable even with mediocre Pokemon. Turns out, you don’t need much preparation at all. With the current iteration of bosses,… [Continue Reading]

Soloing Orokin Vaults

February 23, 2021February 17, 2021 Medic 0 Comments guide, orokin vault, rhino, warframe

Orokin Vaults are an old, old part of Warframe. They’re the only place to get Corrupted Mods, which have both a negative and a positive. However, these vaults aren’t just old, they’re archaic as well. And it was only with the appearance of Deimos that they became far more accessible. What’s more important though is that these Orokin Vaults are easier to solo than ever. You don’t actually need to solo them though. I should probably start by pointing out that Deimos has normal matchmaking. Back when the Orokin Derelect was the home to Lephantis, you needed keys to access… [Continue Reading]

Kinda Wondering What the Point of the Kanto Tour was…

So, now that the Kanto Tour is actually over and we’ve moved into the Kanto Celebration… I’m kinda wondering what the point of the Kanto Tour was. We had 12 hours of catching Kanto Pokemon, followed by a week of more Kanto. And that’s on top of all the Kanto-themed events we’ve had over the last few months. Not to mention the Kanto-themed Community Days. It was basically GO Fest but Kanto only. The Kanto Tour was interesting. Just like GO Fest, it was split into various hours, ‘visiting’ various towns and cities from Pokemon Red and Green. Pokemon spawned… [Continue Reading]

The Hectic Kanto Event

February 21, 2021February 20, 2021 Medic 0 Comments event, kanto, paid event, pokemon go, shinies, shiny, ticket

The Kanto Tour has come and gone in Pokemon GO and it was… a thing. There were a ton of bonuses, a ton of raids and a LOT of Pokemon to catch. But was it worth the €12 ticket price? And did everything actually work? Well, kinda. So much to do, so little time. We basically had lots of mini events running at the same time. Not only did we have a bunch of special raids, but we had special research and “today tab” research too. There was one mini-quest in the Today tab about battling NPCs, the shiny Ditto… [Continue Reading]

The Best Affinity Farms and XP Grinds in Warframe

February 20, 2021May 25, 2022 Medic 4 Comments affinity, exp, grind, guide, warframe

Warframe is a game about grinding. Sure, there’s a small part of it that’s about skateboard grinding. But most of this game is about leveling up new gear. Not just the titular Warframes themselves, but guns and pets and swords as well. And amps, Archwings, Necramechs… The list goes on. In fact, there’s over 800 items that can be leveled up! And after a while, you kinda get tired of leveling things up. Luckily, there are some hot spots where you can level things up more quickly. The Obvious: Sedna’s Hydron and Saturn’s Helene There’s very little that can beat… [Continue Reading]

My Weird Obsession with Glitches from a Game I’ve Hardly Played

February 19, 2021February 14, 2021 Medic 0 Comments Glitch, pokemon

I’ve never been particularly good at Pokemon games. In fact, my introduction to Pokemon overall is pretty wonky. Aside from the card game, Pokemon GO and a poorly dubbed anime, I never got into the games. In fact, technically, Pokemon GO is the first Pokemon game I’ve ever played. I’ve played a little bit of Pokemon Shield, but aside from that, Pokemon has kinda been something that’s eluded me. But for some reason, I am kinda obsessed with glitches in the original Pokemon games. Despite having never played them. I’ve never actually played any of the original Pokemon games. Mostly… [Continue Reading]
