The Best Stealth Options in Warframe

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Stealth in Warframe is a bit finicky. On the one hand, stealth can be hard to maintain, mostly because of how enemy AI works. On the other hand, stealth is mostly optional for about 90% of the game. However, when you do need stealth, there are, luckily, plenty of options. So here are five options for when you need to be stealthy. Ivara The number one option for stealth HAS to be Ivara. Ivara is built to be stealthy. Not only can she remain invisible for an insanely long time, but she can also distract enemies, put them to sleep… [Continue Reading]

Terrorbane – a Review

Medic 0 Comments ,

The other day, I was supposed to have a gaming horror night, but we didn’t really have anything that scary to play. So we decided to play a normal game. Well, normalish. The boyfriend picked up Terrorbane. Or, to make it a bit more obvious, tERRORbane. This is a fun little pixel RPG game, where there are a lot of errors. The game starts off simple enough, with a conversation with an otherwise nameless video game developer, who calls themselves Dev. This fictional developer has made a cool game called Terrorbane and wants us to play it, but not everything… [Continue Reading]

Axew Community Day

Medic 1 Comment , , ,

Despite having a debut in 2022 during that year’s GO Fest, Axew Community Day is a welcome one. Axew has been a semi-rare Pokemon for ages, only really appearing in windy weather, and it’s been hard to farm candies for them. This Community Day finally allowed us to get our hands on a very popular shiny Pokemon. A fun day For me, I had a great day. We played in a group of six, which is actually quite a lot for a Community Day here, at least post-pandemic*. We wandered around town hall, making use of the plenty of shade… [Continue Reading]

Spotlight Hours in Pokemon GO

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Every Tuesday in Pokemon GO, we get a spotlight hour. During the spotlight hour, 99% of spawns turn into one specific species of Pokemon, starting from 6pm local time until 7pm local time. But are they worth doing? Or are they a waste of time? It depends on the Pokemon It really, really depends on the Pokemon. There have been all sorts of Pokemon in spotlight hours, ranging from Minun and Plusle to heavy hitters like Beldum. Generally though, the spotlight Pokemon is related to whatever event is currently going on. For example, during the last Rocket Takeover, Skorupi was… [Continue Reading]

Cheap Alternatives to Expensive Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon GO

Medic 0 Comments , ,

These days, Legendary Pokemon are most often the best choice. They tend to be just too good at what they do, which is mostly just killing things. However, here are some nice budget Pokemon for your raiding pleasure. Machamp These days, the best fighting type is Terrakion, who recently got Sacred Sword, a very strong fighting move. Before Terrakion though, we had the rather expensive and rare Lucario and Conkeldurr. Both of which were somewhat rare and a pain in the ass to get candy for. Luckily though, our old buddy Machamp is here to save the day. It hatches… [Continue Reading]

The Shadow Mewtwo Event Should Have Been A Proper Raid Event

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

On June 27th and 28th 2023, we had an event featuring Shadow Mewtwo in 5-star raids. The event was alright, but it could have been so much better. Here’s how I would have done the event. But first, let’s quickly discuss the actual event. Just a normal day There were no special boosts or anything for the weekend. It was part of the Team Rocket takeover event that introduced shadow raids in general. This would have been fine, but the raid pool was filled with not just Mewtwo, but the 1-star and 3-star shadow raids as well. At least, that… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon I Like But Don’t Know Why

Medic 2 Comments , ,

There are a huge amount of Pokemon to love and enjoy, but there’s also plenty of unusual picks for favorite Pokemon. For me, since most of my knowledge about Pokemon comes from Pokemon GO, I’ve got some odd favorites of my own. And most of them are shiny, since shinies are more common in Pokemon GO. Anyway, here are some Pokemon I genuinely like, but don’t really know why. Shiny Skiploom Isn’t Skiploom cute? I don’t really know why, but Skiploom is utterly adorable, it’s got four little stubby legs, big flappy ears and a flower on its head that… [Continue Reading]

Now for Something Completely Different 

On Redrawing Artwork

Medic 0 Comments ,

A lot of my work consists of one thing: turning a JPG or a PNG into some sort of vector graphic, so it can be printed or made. Sometimes I also have to turn a PDF into a vector image because the PDF contains a JPG rather than any vector artwork. The process of converting something into a vector graphic can be quite long and arduous, but with my 10 years of experience, I can redraw stuff pretty quickly. Draw by Colour Normally, I start redrawing a logo by separating the basic image into solid colours. That way you can… [Continue Reading]

The Difference Between CMYK and RGB

Medic 0 Comments , ,

When it comes to the world of colour, there’s a lot of different types of colour. Two of the most important types of colour are RGB and CMYK. And these are very different from each other, but can easily be mixed up. Let’s take a look. RGB RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue. The values of each of these colours is from 0 to 255, with 0 being the darkest and 255 being the lightest. Black can be made with Red: 0 Green: 0 and Blue: 0. White can be made with all three values being 255. RGB is… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon GO’s Season 10 Has Kinda Sucked

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Season 10: Rising Heroes has sucked. It’s been an all-round mediocre season with not much going on. In fact,it’s been so boring that I’m actually writing about it. This season not only has been boring, but it’s also been limiting, and not much good has actually happened. But why? The seasonal spawns suck It’s been nothing but fricking Pidove, with a smattering of Starly, Weedle, Caterpie and the odd Patrat. Pidove seemed to take up most of the spawns. In windy weather, it and Starly made up most of the spawns, aside from the odd Drifbloon. And of course there’s… [Continue Reading]
