Beyond Light – Wondering Why I Bothered with a “Part 1”

October 11, 2021October 4, 2021 Medic 0 Comments beyond light, campaign, destiny 2, dlc

The other day, I wrote about the main campaign in Destiny 2. Beyond Light, as the name suggests, involves our player character discovering a new way to manipulate the world around us instead of using, well, Light. In that previous article, I named it “part 1” because I thought it’d be really long. Turns out, nothing is long when I have my happy ice sled Sparrow. So, uh, let’s just get back to where we were, having just beaten one of the big boss’s henchmen. Just a heads up, I will be kinda spoiling things in this article. But Beyond… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts About the Beyond Light campaign – 1

October 10, 2021October 3, 2021 Medic 0 Comments actually doing the damn quests, beyond light, destiny 2

I know, I’m pretty damn late to the party here. Especially since the Witch Queen will come out in February 2022. I’ve never really been that fond of Destiny 2’s campaign quests and I’m not really sure why. But after spending ages just leveling stuff up, I decided I wanted to try Stasis. After all, it’s a whole new type of magical element, a complete fourth class. However, Stasis is… well, kinda evil. It’s literally an element of the Darkness, you know, the big bad black triangles that have been threatening us for like a year though. It was about… [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.

No Longer Battling for Mastery

October 9, 2021October 2, 2021 Medic 0 Comments legendary 1, mastery rank, mr, true master, warframe

When True Master finally became accessible back in 2020, I worked hard to reach it. After all, the title of True Master was what I had been aiming for, for ages. The ultimate rank, above everything else. Attaining True Master wasn’t always a dream. Heck, I never thought I’d go past MR18, having unlocked the entirety of Warframe when it came to mastery. But here I am, sitting at not just True Master, but Legendary 1. A whole extra level AFTER becoming True Master. And I still have plenty of new gear to level up. It’s not going to stop.… [Continue Reading]

Destiny 2’s RNG Leveling Up Process

October 8, 2021October 1, 2021 Medic 0 Comments destiny 2, noob

I’ll be honest, while I do like Destiny 2, I find it really hard to play on my own. My Light Level is rather low and I don’t have particularly good luck when it comes to leveling up. While I can sorta do alright in normal Strikes and the like, Destiny 2 is not a game I feel like I can play solo. It doesn’t help that playing Destiny 2 kinda feels like a chore. But there is something that bothers me a little bit more than just needing to get good. I’m not 100% sure but it seems that… [Continue Reading]

A Random Wrestling Article

October 7, 2021September 30, 2021 Medic 0 Comments random, wrestling

I have always kinda liked wrestling. While most people just shrug it off as nothing but a fancy show, that doesn’t mean that wrestling is all bad. If anything, I think it’s more of an acquired taste. And that’s okay, because not everything is geared towards everyone. If you don’t like wrestling, you can always watch something else. There is definitely some nuance when it comes to wrestling. And some storytelling. And a lot of acting. It takes genuine skill though to throw someone into a table without killing them. The fancier matches are fun, but so are the normal… [Continue Reading]

A Product Safety Stream

October 6, 2021September 29, 2021 Medic 0 Comments a really boring article that I kinda had to write because no one else was ever going to say it and the judges's statements on reviewing these businesses was upsetting, eu, ramble, weird

I don’t normally talk about my real world jobs on here. Mostly because a lot of it has to stay secret. I’ve done a huge amount of freelance graphic and web design over the years. It ranges from helping freshly founded new businesses, updating old businesses and an all-round business to business But occasionally, I’ll get a really strange request. One that doesn’t normally fit with what I normally do. This event was a Product Safety Award ceremony, hosted by the European commission. Rewards were being handed out based on two specific categories: “Protecting the safety of vulnerable consumer groups”… [Continue Reading]

A collection of teddies won from claw machines

Claw Machines and Winning

October 5, 2021September 28, 2021 Medic 0 Comments arcade, cute, gambling

Funnily enough, I’m not really an arcade person. I have always preferred playing games at home, rather than playing arcade machines that hundreds of others have also touched. But that level of concern would always disappear at the sight of a claw machine. Claw machines are simple: a metal claw hovers over some prizes. You have to use that claw to grab a prize. Most of the time, the claw slips and you don’t get a prize. Where I live, arcades aren’t that common, but there is an arcade in each of the big malls here. And I’ve tried a… [Continue Reading]

5 Cute Snakes in Valve Games

The TF2 community has been going cuckoo over the adorable new snakes Valve added to cp_snakewater. From memes to fanart to YouTube videos, these slithery low-poly serpents are recieving a king’s welcome from the update-starved community. And I absolutely can’t blame them, I’ve already asked my boyfriend to make me a plush. But the Snakewater snakes aren’t the only lovable vipers hidden within Valve’s game catalogue. 1. Sally the Safety Serpent The ctf_2fort_invasion map is a treasure trove of easter eggs. Especially in the fan-submitted posters on the walls. My favorite one stars Sally reminding players of the six S’s… [Continue Reading]

The Ability to Change Forms in Pokemon GO

October 3, 2021September 26, 2021 Medic 1 Comment pokemon go

Pokemon GO recently had a Fashion Week. In it, we got a bunch of Pokemon with hats on, and a chance to be shiny. But more importantly, a new feature was somewhat revealed, alongside the Pokemon Furfrou. The new feature was the ability to change forms, something very new in Pokemon GO. At least, compared to the main series games. But is this feature actually any good? On the surface, yes. Currently, only Furfrou has this feature. In the main games, there are LOTS of different forms, but Pokemon GO is starting with one mainly cosmetic look. Unlike the normal… [Continue Reading]

Seven Hours for a Zarude

October 2, 2021October 2, 2021 Medic 0 Comments mythical, pokemon, pokemon go, research, special research

All of a sudden, we are swimming in special research. Pokemon GO does tend to have a lot of research tasks. But many of them are based on an event and just give a handful of extra rewards. On the flip side, we’ve also had a lot of special research, which can be done at our leisure. Currently, we have Hoopa research and Meloetta research. But on October 1st, we got something that’s genuinely really new. Zarude Special Research Yep, before the many Mythical Pokemon we don’t have, we had a Zarude research task thrown at us. The only real… [Continue Reading]
