Writing About Fictional Deities

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

I’ve always found it hard writing about deities. That sounds kinda weird, especially when you consider what I normally write about over on the Phoviverse. Ever since I started writing the 4th version of the Phoviverse, gods have played bigger and bigger roles in the stories. But really, have I even created gods, or are they just insanely powerful mortal beings? Actually, I have lots of ideas and rambling thoughts about gods in fictional works. The way I see it, writing fictional deities seems to come in several forms. Gods of everything, gods of big things and gods of lots… [Continue Reading]

Wobbling Around on Warframe on the Switch

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

The other day, I decided to do something stupid and smart at the same time. I decided to spend €10 on a 64GB microSD card, so I could play Warframe on the Nintendo Switch. I have actually played on the Switch before, but with Warframe’s recent updates, it only just exceeds the 40GB of inbuilt memory within the bright yellow Switch Lite that I own. At the same time, I also have Pokemon Violet installed and I didn’t want to have to uninstall that. When I first tried Warframe on the Switch, I started a brand new account, with a… [Continue Reading]

The Bug Out Event Sucked

Medic 0 Comments ,

Not all events are created equal, but the Bug Out event we recently had was pretty damn lame. There was very little good about it, and the event just didn’t really do anything. Now, Bug Types aren’t a great bunch. They’re often the punching bag of the Pokemon world, and can be split into two forms: the crap you catch on early routes and the hard-to-catch stuff later on that gets a decent secondary typing or a mega evolution or something. This event though only really contained the former. Sure, we got Mega Heracross in raids, but, well, the only… [Continue Reading]

Bellsprout Community Day

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

No one asked for Bellsprout Community Day. No one. Not anyone. Even people who use it in PvP weren’t really looking for a Bellsprout Community Day. However, Niantic saw that the 20th of the 4th, 4/20 in the US, fell on a Saturday, and they decided that Pokemon number #69 was the perfect choice for a Community Day. Because why not double down with both a 420 meme and a 69 meme? That being said, they could doubled down on the 420 meme twice, since Pokemon number 420 is Cherubi, but its evolution is weather-based and Niantic probably couldn’t be… [Continue Reading]

Youtube’s New UI is Annoying as fuck

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

I know I literally wrote an article the other day on a similar premise, but holy fuck Youtube what are you doing? Sure, Youtube had had some pretty bad UI changes in the past, but what the hell am I looking at? What is going on? Look at this mess. The comments are all squished to one side, the title is squished to one side and the recommendations both have hideous rounded corners (way, way too rounded, considering that the main video has square corners) and the thumbnails are fucking massive. The layout looks like Twitch but worse. All the… [Continue Reading]

Rushing Warframes Is Kinda Lame

Medic 0 Comments ,

So apparently Dante is a lot of fun. Dante in this case being the new Warframe released in Dante Unbound, the most recent Warframe update. The archivist Warframe has an exalted book and a ton of cool features, including some ghostly owls and the ability to create vast, vast amounts of Overguard, which is basically overshields except way better. Honestly, Overguard pisses all over overshields and frames that rely on overshields, but that’s not the topic of this article. Today, I want to talk about Warframe build times, while I patiently wait for Dante to finish cooking in my foundry.… [Continue Reading]

On Getting A Massage

Medic 0 Comments ,

I’ve wanted a massage for ages. While I’m normally someone who’s not a fan of being touched by strangers, the idea of someone gently rubbing my back with some nice-smelling oil is very appealing. So, when my family asked what I wanted for my birthday, I decided to actually be useful for once, not say “I don’t know” and actually ask for one. I was given a voucher for a local massage place and, a couple of weeks later, I actually booked a session and went. Now, normally, something like this wouldn’t be that noteworthy. I mean, it’s just a… [Continue Reading]

Tinder’s UI is Annoying as fuck

Medic 0 Comments

Let’s be blunt. I’m single. I’m kinda lonely. I kinda want a boyfriend or a girlfriend or something. I’m gonna try Tinder. I’ve used Tinder in the past, to varying degrees of success. In fact, Tinder is the reason why I wasted a year and a half of my life on a guy who really didn’t want to leave his comfort zone. And this article in particular, I originally created it in late 2021 when I started using the app. You’d think, all these years later, things would improve, but no, things are definitely worse now. I think the graphics… [Continue Reading]

A Warfame’s Fictional Writings

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

“So, why are we waiting again?” Frost asked as he threw an energy pad on the ground and tutted. “I wanted to wait for a whole squad!” Volt replied, fiddling with his Vectis. It had been a while since Volt had done anything apart from close Void Fissures on his own, and for some reason, he’d decided to head to the weird Entrati Labs on Deimos, mostly out of curiosity. The Cavia, a weird team of Void-touched animals, led by an oddly almost normal human being by the name of Loid, needed their help, and that had made Volt start… [Continue Reading]

A Pirate Persona

Medic 0 Comments ,

Now I’m not actually a very violent person. Sure, I play video games, and my favourite video game involves being a yellow mass-murdering space ninja, but I’m rather tame. Heck, my online alias, Arkay, is named after one of my Phoviverse characters, a friendly death god who doesn’t like his job and spends way too long explaining that he’s more than just death, he’s also the personification of energy changing forms. However, out on the Sea of Thieves though, I’m a monster. I even have a persona for my pirate. My pirate is, well, not evil, but definitely not the… [Continue Reading]
