The 5 Best Pokemon to use Elite TMs on

May 26, 2021May 20, 2021 Medic 0 Comments elite charge tm, elite fast tm, elite tm, pokemon go

Elite TMs are pretty rare. Even if you play every season of the Go Battle League, you won’t get many. You are basically restricted to one per season. As it stands, there are only two reliable ways of getting Elite TMs of any type. The Go Battle League rewards one per season, alternating between Charge and Fast TMs. And Community Day boxes tend to contain a TM, generally based on whatever the Community Day move is. Elite TMs are also very rarely given out in limited or special research tasks, as well as paid events. On the flip side, events… [Continue Reading]

Somehow a Team Rocket-Themed Event is Bad?

May 25, 2021May 21, 2021 Medic 0 Comments dark type, event, pokemon go, team rocket

Followers of the Daily SPUF will probably recognize two things about me. Firstly, I use a yellow Volt a lot. But secondly, I really like Team Rocket fights in Pokemon GO. There is something cathartic about kicking grunts in the groin and stealing their Pokemon. Wait… that’s what they’re supposed to be doing to us. Either way though, grunt fights are fun, and I always enjoy events that spawn more of them. However, the Luminous Legends Y event has me questioning that. Somehow, this Team Rocket event is bad. Actually, that sentence is wrong in two ways. Firstly, this isn’t… [Continue Reading]

5 Tasty Pancake Recommendations

May 24, 2021May 18, 2021 Medic 0 Comments cake, cooking, pancake, recommendation, spuffood, tip, tips and tricks

The pancake is a weirdly deceitful dish. Despite being made of simple ingredients, they are oddly hard to cook. TV chefs make pancakes look easy. All you do is throw some batter in a pan, flip it and boom, pancake. But in reality, pancakes are crazy beasts that take on many shapes and forms. It’s all too easy to mess up a pancake. Luckily, there are ways to improve pancakes that don’t involve too much hassle. Take your time The first big step to making pancakes that are edible is to take your time. There’s no need to rush a… [Continue Reading]

Junglers in MOBAs seems like the most depressing role in a game ever

May 23, 2021May 17, 2021 Medic 0 Comments jungler, moba, ramble

Every multiplayer game generally tends to split players into different roles. MMOs are best known for splitting into DPS, Tank and healer roles. In MOBAs, the roles are often caked directly into the game, with very little overlap. You pick an ADC, you play as an ADC, for example. However, there’s one particular role that has always confused me: the humble Jungler. A quick preamble though. Before I start talking about this role, I have to point out that I’m not very good at MOBAs. Nor do I really play them any more. Despite the fact I’ve fumbled around in… [Continue Reading]

Timed Research Needs Better Rewards

May 22, 2021May 20, 2021 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, ramble, rant, research

We’ve had a lot of events lately, pretty much one after the other. As of writing, we are in a Luminous Legends event. There was one for Xerneas and one for Yveltal. Both these events and the ones before them came with timed research. This research worked the same way as special research except it’s, well, timed. But despite the rush to complete them, the rewards are always… kinda lame. Let’s look at the Luminous Legends X event as an example. The only good rewards were at the end. Luminous Legends X was a longer event than normal. It ran… [Continue Reading]

Now for Something Completely Different

On The Difficulties of Learning to Cook

May 21, 2021May 15, 2021 Medic 0 Comments cooking, ramble

I don’t have many strict opinions. In fact, I’m often willing to change my mind if I’m wrong, and have done on some major issues. But one of the few stances I remain strong on is that everyone should know how to cook some basic meals. Sounds simple enough, but, well nothing is ever truly simple. Turns out, like everything else, there’s some difficulties to overcome when it comes to learning to cook. “But Medic, we have the internet for learning everything!” Yes, we do, but not everything on the internet is accurate or true. Sure, someone posted their recipe… [Continue Reading]

The Ambulas Fight is Bad

May 19, 2021May 13, 2021 Medic 0 Comments ambulas, boss, warframe

I always seem to forget that Ambulas is a thing. It’s a boss fight located on Pluto, on a planet where very little normally happens. There’s no reason to go back to Pluto or Ambulas once you’ve done it. So the only time I end up fighting Ambulas is for Sorties. Of course, the second I start these missions, I realize just how bad the Ambulas boss fight is. It’s basically everything wrong with a boss fight. When you imagine a boss fight, you imagine a big, scary enemy coming to attack you, which you then kill. Typically in a… [Continue Reading]

Poor Xerneas, a Pokemon with no real usable moves

May 17, 2021May 11, 2021 Medic 0 Comments fairy, legendary, pokemon go, xerneas

Xerneas is a cool Pokemon. It’s a massive deer that has rainbow antlers whenever it’s in battle. It’s so stupidly powerful that it kicks the shit out of its fellow Legendaries. On top of being an amazing Fairy type, Xerneas has an ability that makes its fairy powers even stronger. Yeah, sure, Zygarde does have an aura-nullifying ability. But Zygarde is still a dragon type. And Dragon types get their asses handed to them by fairies on the regular. However, with Xerneas’s arrival in Pokemon GO, turns out things aren’t that bright and sunny for the pretty deer. Xerneas’s moves… [Continue Reading]

100% Achievements in Warframe: DONE

May 16, 2021May 15, 2021 Medic 1 Comment achievements, recommendation, warframe

Why do I do this to myself? What convinced me that I needed to get all 193 achievements in Warframe? I suppose, when you have everything else done in Warframe, you might as well? Either way, on a rather dull Thursday morning, when I was totally supposed to be working, I did it. I got the last Warframe achievement I needed, Race Ace. With that out of the way, I can finally claim that I have more than one 100% game. Skyrim was an easy game to 100%. Warframe has taken me over 4000 hours. So, shall we have a… [Continue Reading]

Swablu Community Day

May 15, 2021May 15, 2021 Medic 0 Comments altaria, community day, pokemon go, swablu

Swablu has always kinda annoyed me. People complain about other lazy Pokemon designs all the time. While Trubbish gets dumped on for being rubbish, I feel Swablu is also lazy. It’s literally just a blue ball with some wings made of clouds. However, Swablu is a pain in the butt in other ways. It’s the Magikarp of its generation but it just evolves into a bigger blue ball with wings. And gets the dragon typing. Swablu is still kinda popular though, enough so that it has a Mega Evolution. And here in Pokemon GO, it also got a Community Day.… [Continue Reading]
