Why is Egg Mayo So Tasty?

October 28, 2022October 21, 2022 Medic 0 Comments egg, food, mayo

There are millions of fillings you can put into a sandwich. A sandwich can contain pretty much whatever you want, from grilled cheese and simple ham and mayonnaise, to stupidly over the top meat-filled monsters. But for some reason, lately, I’ve been kinda fixated on one particular filling: egg mayonnaise. If you don’t know what egg mayonnaise is, it’s pretty simple. You boil up some eggs, peel them then mash them up with a fork. You then add some mayonnaise (or a mixture of mayonnaise and yogurt if you are feeling fancy), add some salt and pepper and throw it… [Continue Reading]

Cats and Health

October 27, 2022October 20, 2022 Medic 0 Comments cat, ramble, random

Cats are strange creatures. We treasure them as pets, but, unlike dogs, cats are very aloof and mostly do as they please. It’s easy to annoy a cat and make it attack you, and cats often scratch and bite when they are angry. People have to be careful of cats, especially wild ones, as they may carry diseases. However, despite all of this, cats can actually be good for your health. It turns out that a cat can be a great companion for someone who is feeling down or lonely. While a cat can’t make you feel positive thoughts, it… [Continue Reading]

Remote Raid Passes are the Future Now

October 26, 2022October 19, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

Back when people actually cared about COVID and remained indoors, Niantic, the makers of Pokemon GO, released Remote Raid Passes. These passes allowed you to fight in raids at a distance, rather than having to be within 40m of a gym. As the majority of people couldn’t go outside, a big chunk of Pokemon GO was now inaccessible. Remote Raid Passes made gyms accessible again. As an added bonus, you could get 3 passes for 250 coins, saving yourself 50 coins for other things. Basically, pretty much everyone liked Remote Raid Passes. Not only did they mean you can play… [Continue Reading]

Why I Don’t Consider Myself a Gamer

October 25, 2022October 18, 2022 Medic 4 Comments ramble

The term “gamer” can mean all sorts of things. Generally the term just means someone who plays a lot of video games, but there are also plenty of gamer stereotypes out there, dependent on many different things, such as consoles, handheld games, mobile games, and so on. However, I’ve never really considered myself a gamer. I’m just a person who plays video games occasionally. Am I really a gamer though? Or am I something else? I’m not very good at video games Seriously. As someone who has been playing video games for years, I’m shit at most of them. Parkour… [Continue Reading]

Why the Sloop is the Best Ship

October 24, 2022October 17, 2022 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves, sloop, stormcloud

On my first few voyages, I played either in a brig or a galleon. The brig and galleon Stormcloud ships are mighty beasts that tear through the seas, chewing up their opposition. To the point that people have seen the name Stormcloud and instantly bailed. Back in those early adventures, it was nice to have other people on board Bacxaber’s ship, because I was still learning the ropes. Lately though, I was invited to play on a sloop, which is for two people only. And boy did it improve my experience on sailing and combat. In a single session, Bacxaber… [Continue Reading]

A War Over A New Gym

October 23, 2022October 16, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, ramble

In Cyprus, there’s not really much going on between Pokemon GO’s three teams, Valor, Mystic and Instinct. It’s not too difficult to get your 50 coins a day, and contests over gyms only really happened before raids, so you get extra Pokeballs when catching your Legendary Pokemon. But normally, the use of gyms where I live isn’t hectic. And the few places that are hectic, they’re always in the tourist areas. However, not every Gym is that peaceful or quiet. Especially the one down the road. A new gym? So, recently, I moved house. I moved from one side of… [Continue Reading]

A Small, Blocky Stegosaurus

October 21, 2022October 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments blocks, dinosaur, lego, random, tiny

Earlier, for reasons unknown, a small plastic bag appeared on my desk. I have no idea where it came from or when we bought it, and it was certainly not anything I’d ordinarily buy. The package contained tiny weeny building blocks and some instructions on how to build a stegosaurus. So I opened the package up and decided to have some fun. I think fun is not the best word to describe what happened next. It wasn’t fun. I normally love putting Lego things together. There are three massive boxes in my room all filled with the stuff. But this… [Continue Reading]

Rambling over Raid Hours

October 20, 2022October 12, 2022 Medic 0 Comments legendary, pokemon go, raid hour, raids

Every Wednesday, at 6pm local time, we get a raid hour in Pokemon GO. Whatever the current 5 star raid is, it will appear on pretty much every gym, and will stick around for, obviously, an hour before despawning. The raid hour lasts from 6pm to 7pm and can be done in person or remotely. Raid hour also works as a nice way to socialize with other players. It’s a good idea to get more raids done. Raid Hours are pretty fun. It’s an opportunity to get Legendary raids done with a small group who normally would be too scattered… [Continue Reading]

The Worst Pokemon in Pokemon GO

October 19, 2022October 11, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, shedinja

I’ve written plenty about bad Pokemon, specifically in Pokemon GO. There’s always bad or unlucky Pokemon that just can’t be used for various reasons. Some might be too niche, others might not have the attacks they need to be useful. Some Pokemon have always been useless because they’re just sentient letters of the alphabet. But there’s one particular Pokemon who really stands out, but was doomed from the start. Let’s get straight to the point. The worst Pokemon in Pokemon GO is Shedinja. A Pokemon that has nothing at all going for it. “But wait, doesn’t Shedninja have-“ Yes, yes,… [Continue Reading]

A Gentle Fishing Trip for the Soul

October 18, 2022October 9, 2022 Medic 0 Comments peaceful, sea of thieves, stormcloud

Sometimes, violence isn’t on the menu. Instead, fish is on the menu. There are tons of commendations and the like that require fishing. The Hunter’s Call buys your fish and you can catch a bunch of different species in the varied waters of the Sea of Thieves. Fishing is also pretty peaceful, and is a great time to chat while. Which is why we spent two hours on the Stormcloud, simply fishing. The commendations we were working on required fishing for a specific species, the Pondie. The best place for fishing Pondies is the Fort of Fortune, whenever it’s not… [Continue Reading]
