I Think the Ignis Wraith is Fine

by
You're supposed to use Excalibur to show off cosmetics but I don't have Excalibur. Pictured are the Ignis Wraith and full Harkonar Wraith set.

The Ignis Wraith came out as one of the most used weapons in 2020. Frankly, I’m not surprised. Despite being a top tier weapon, it’s damage isn’t amazing. It’s just a cool flamethrower that’s fun to use. However, just because it’s popular, doesn’t mean it’s bad. Still, plenty of people will probably complain about a flamethrower being so popular. Well, of course it is. We’re playing a hoard shooter. There’s a constant stream of enemies running at us. While, originally, Warframe was a lot stealthier than it is now, there’s always been lots of enemies. A big part of the… [Continue Reading]

The Terrifying Cave Generation of Minecraft Snapshot 21w06a

by
Inside an aquefier in a vast cave

After a very long wait, we’ve finally gotten to the ‘caves’ part of the Caves and Cliffs snapshots. This is very exciting for Minecraft, since a cave update has been both teased and desired for years. While Minecraft’s original cave system is pretty cool, especially with canyons, Snapshot 21w06a threatens to completely demolish it. While only being the tip of the iceberg. 21w06a introduces the new cave generation. None of the new underground biomes are here yet. Instead, we’ve got the foundations of the new cave system. The build limit has been extended from 256 blocks to 384 blocks, with… [Continue Reading]

A Calm, Simple Way to Farm Deimos Resources with a Flamethrower

by
Vome is literally the only thing that stops everything from being red all the time.

I like fishing and mining in Warframe, but sometimes it can get really tedious. You can spend ages waiting for the time to change from Fass to Vome. Or maybe you get unlucky while mining. Quite often, I’ll constantly get attacked as I’m doing these tasks. And, after a while, standing in one spot for ages fishing gets boring. An alternate way to farm for resources consists of the Requiem pillars scattered around Deimos. But these are very hit and miss, and require constant nearby enemies. They also don’t feel nearly as useful as they used to be. Thankfully, I… [Continue Reading]

I’d Like A Nightwave Story About Someone Who Isn’t An Ass

by
Nihil, frozen in glass, having turned himself into a Cephalon in order to escape death.

Nightwave’s original premise was quite simple. Over the course of a season or episode, we’d be told a story. As the story went along, we’d learn more clues or get different rewards. However, two things happened as we went along. Firstly, the story complexity increased over time. Glassmaker’s story involved us finding clues, while the Wolf just had us, well, fighting him. The second thing is that things always got worse as time went on. Not only did these episodes all drag on, but they all kinda ended on a low note. Wolf of Saturn Six ended with escaped prisoners… [Continue Reading]

The Wonder that is the PDF

by

The PDF is an amazing format. It can contain pretty much anything, from basic text to complex images, all the way to videos and digital signatures. PDFs are so powerful that they can be read by a huge variety of different programs, from Adobe’s own Acrobat Reader to programs like Microsoft Word and various browsers. In fact, I like PDFs so much that I’m writing an article about them. A Magical Mystery Box! I’ll be honest, I have no real idea how a PDF actually works. I do know however that the PDF, short for Portable Document Format, was made… [Continue Reading]

Roselia Community Day

by
A shiny Roselia in the grass

When I was a noob, Roselia was the bane of my existence. It was the most common grass spawn around and Roselia is the first and pretty much only raid I failed to beat. Mostly because I was level 6 and had no fire types at all except for one wild 1000CP Houndoom. Also, apparently, I was such a noob back then that I also missed not only an Eevee community day but Roselia’s shiny release. During the initial release of shiny Roselia, the chances were boosted to almost community day levels. However, I never even noticed. In fact, I… [Continue Reading]

A Little Ramble About Those 2020 Warframe Stats

by
Excalibur and Warframes speak to Lotus at Tennocon

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to watch Devstream 151 live. I was too busy decorating my dojo! There’s only two rooms left! However, I did however read some of the Devstream highlight threads, and I stumbled across the 2020 stats page. Turns out, DE has uploaded a (trimmed down) version of their usage stats for 2020. And what I saw at the top of those lists wasn’t at all surprising. What interests me the most though is the list of Warframes and how they’re used. You can view the data yourself here. Wukong Prime being most used didn’t surprise me that… [Continue Reading]

Why You Should Use Tether on Your Railjack

by
A Limbo and his Railjack

Modding Railjacks is kinda weird. Rather than having a set of abilities and mods that enhance those abilities, Railjacks go a different route. Instead, you select which ship abilities you want to use, and shove them in the required ability slot. Really, Railjack modding seems kinda complicated at first. But most Railjacks are actually built in pretty much the same way. Not just in normal mods, but in Battle and Tactical Avionics as well. Assuming you have space for them all. To put it simply, there’s not actually enough modding capacity on Railjacks. You can’t fit a fully upgraded mod… [Continue Reading]

A Mediocre Suggestion on Kitguns

by
A Rattleguts Kitgun

Kitguns are build-your own weapons originally sold by Rude Zuud in Fortuna, but also sold by Father on Deimos. The idea is simple: Buy the parts, build them then put them together to make a gun. You can mix and match parts, balancing damage, fire rate, ammo and status/critical chance based on what you use. Different Kitguns can be used in different ways, and can be built both as secondary weapons and primary weapons. But Kitguns tend to eat more resources and need a lot more work compared to normal weapons, so you can’t just build them and use them… [Continue Reading]

Nightwave Intermission 3 is here! How long will it last?

by
Nightwave Intermission 3 Menu

After the slog that was Glassmaker finally ended, we all breathed a sigh of relief. Glassmaker, while being a good idea on the surface, dragged on and consisted of the most annoying content to date. When it finally left at the end of January 2021, Glassmaker had been around for 8 months! While we’re all sick of Nightwave, we still need a way to get Nitain Extract, alternate helmets and Vauban parts. So now we have Nightwave Intermission 3. No story, just tasks. There’s no story behind this intermission. Just like previous intermissions, there’s still a reward path, but no… [Continue Reading]
