The Pokemon GO Community Weekend 2023

December 18, 2023December 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments 2023, community day, pokemon go

Every December, we don’t get a singular Community Day with one Pokemon. Instead we get a recap weekend, where the Pokemon from the Community Days of the year are split into two groups, and you have two Community Days on one weekend. This year’s Community Weekend featured the likes of Fennekin, Chespin, Froakie, Togetic, Noibat, Poliwag, Slowpoke, Grubbin, Axew, Timburr and Wooper. Just like previous years,we got two days of spawns, with all 11 Pokemon spawning from between 10am to 10pm, then the community day spawn rates and shiny chances from 2pm t0 5pm. Evolving a Pokemon that featured in… [Continue Reading]

More Little Stormcloud Adventures

December 17, 2023December 14, 2023 Medic 0 Comments little stormcloud, sea of thieves, stormcloud

The Little Stormcloud doesn’t see that much action. Up until recently, my brig saw very little action, being barely painted and decorated. However, with Guilds in the Sea of Thieves, Little Stormcloud finally got a chance to get some use. I pledged her to my guild, the Calcium Kings, and she’s now available for use by everyone in the Calcium Kings guild. And, occasionally, we take her out on adventures. I say “occasionally”, I mean twice. Her first proper excursion saw her unlock the majority of name plates, in a massive adventure that saw us make a fucking huge sum… [Continue Reading]

I Hate Flying

December 16, 2023December 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments rant

I hate flying. The other day, I got back from a trip to the UK. We celebrated my sister getting married, we did lots of shopping and we spent some time with family, namely my cousins, aunt and uncle. It was nice, but it was expensive and I spent most of the vacation ill with a cold. I didn’t even buy much, most of my money went on food and cold medication. But the bit I hated most was the flying. From Cyprus to England, it’s five hours there and four and a half hours back. Weirdly, England to Cyprus… [Continue Reading]

Whispers in the Walls – A New Quest

December 15, 2023December 14, 2023 Medic 0 Comments quest, spoilers, warframe, whispers in the walls

This December, Warframe experienced its last big update of 2023, with Whispers in the Walls. Teased at Tennocon 2023, Whispers in the Walls brought with it melee weapon arcanes, a new syndicate and a bounty system similar to the Zariman, a new Warframe and, the icing on the cake, a new quest, a thrust forward into Warframe’s new story, after the New War. This article contains spoilers. Do not read. Go and play the quest first. It has level 40 enemies, and I recommend taking an Excalibur for… immersive reasons. Also, take a Helios with you. Have fun!

How To Be Less of an Obvious Target on the Sea of Thieves

December 14, 2023November 30, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pirate, safety, sea of thieves

I get it, not everyone is a bloodthirsty pirate. Sometimes, yes, you do want to just sail from island to island, digging up chests and shooting the odd skeleton. But sometimes people seem to target you and annoy you. The reasons are varied, either they see you as a threat, you have something they want or they just want to sink a ship. Luckily, there are some ways you can make yourself less of an obvious target. Use bright colours This sounds counterintuitive, because normally being brightly coloured suggests that you are a threat. However, if you use all the… [Continue Reading]

Wednesday Raid Hour

December 13, 2023November 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments legendary, pokemon go, raid

Pokemon GO is kinda designed as a community game, a game we have to play together. After all, we have events called Community Days, we have large friends lists that give us bonuses as we level up and we work together to beat raids. One community-based event however happens every Wednesday. At 6pm local time, level 5 Legendary raids appear on the majority of gyms, an event known as Raid Hour. If a gym already has a raid on it, if it finishes before Raid Hour ends at 7pm, then it’ll get a Legendary raid egg after the current raid… [Continue Reading]

The Daily SPUF if it was a Pokemon, as a prompt I shoved into an AI art generator

My Thoughts on AI-Generated Art

December 12, 2023November 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments AI, ai-generated art, art

I’ll be honest, AI-generated art is pretty cool. It makes some cool stuff. AI art can’t seem to do everything, it really depends on what AI generator you are using, what settings you use, what terminology you use to describe what you want and, more importantly, how much data there is about a thing. Despite that, AI art still has a lot of problems. It’s not the most accurate and the more obscure the request, the less accurate the result. AI art also still has massive issues with hands and feet, as well as extra limbs. Fingers are often contorted,… [Continue Reading]

My Perfect Albums

December 11, 2023November 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments linkin park, music, radiohead, ramble, random

Some albums are perfect. While the word ‘perfect’ has different meanings between people, in my eyes, a perfect album is an album where I like every single track and rarely have to skip over one. I find myself enjoying every song and will happily listen to said album from beginning to end. That being said, there aren’t many albums I’d consider perfect. Here are the ones I think definitely are though. OK Computer OK Computer by Radiohead only just scrapes into this list. Mostly because of the track Fitter Happier. But personally, I quite like the track. It fits perfectly… [Continue Reading]

An Article About Mog

December 10, 2023November 28, 2023 Medic 0 Comments cat, mog, pet, random

The other day, while writing an article about my new cat in Sea of Thieves, I realized that I’d never written an article about my oldest pet. I’ve written a couple of articles about Ringo, my second pet, but one of them was to announce his passing, back in 2022. It turns out, I never discussed Mog, my first and oldest pet. Mog, also known as Captain Virgil Mogtastic, randomly turned up one sunny day when I was 20 years old, back when I lived in the middle of nowhere. He was a very small, very skinny cat with horrible… [Continue Reading]

A Kitty in the Sea of Thieves

December 9, 2023November 27, 2023 Medic 0 Comments cat, pet, ringo, sea of thieves

The other day, I finally gave in and bought a pet in Sea of Thieves. I’ve wanted a pet in Sea of Thieves for a long time, but I’ve been holding off for a long time, while i slowly earned enough Ancient Coins in order to be able to afford one. Ancient Coins in Sea of Thieves are the premium currency, and are actually pretty expensive, considering that the game itself is often €40. That being said, most people get Sea of Thieves for free or for cheap via the XBox Game Pass, so Microsoft and Rare have to make… [Continue Reading]
