The New PvP Game Mode – Rift

by
Destiny 2 6v6 gameplay pvp

I don’t normally play PvP stuff. But Destiny 2 has the habit of putting random PvP stuff into quests. The Rat King exotic quest required players to all use the same pistol, for example. And on the second week of this new season, Lord Saladin is back (already) with objective-based gameplay for us to all fight over. However, due to paying for someone else’s fuck up, Saladin now basically works for Empress Caiatl on her War Council. And while he’s there, he’s picked up a new 6v6 game mode for us: Rift. Capture the Flag with a twist Rift is… [Continue Reading]

Fantastic PvP Adventures in Sea of Thieves

by
Within the fog of the Sea of Thieves

I’m not normally the sort to play against other players. Actually, outside of PvE content, I’m often a bit of a pacifist. If there is PvP content, I tend to avoid it. But in Sea of Thieves, it’s PvP time all the time, you can’t turn it off, and anything can happen. And thanks to the Stormcloud, one of the deadliest ships in the sea, I’ve grown to become more bloodthirsty myself. After all, we are pirates, and being bloodthirsty is the norm, as well as stealing as much loot as we can. Today’s adventure with the Stormcloud however was… [Continue Reading]

Ow My Finger

Dark Corpus

I’m in one of those moods today. One where everything isn’t quite right. There are days where everything feels slightly wrong, and you keep on messing up little things. Sure, the little things aren’t your fault. Some things just go wrong on their own. However, every little fuck up makes you reconsider your humanity and you just feel like everything is bad and horrible. It’s super easy to just get more and more annoyed, and more problems just pile up, making one want to cry. In fact, the smallest thing could set me off at any moment. Except, well, something… [Continue Reading]

Let Me Put Shaders On Everything in Destiny 2

A cool shader in Destiny 2. I have no idea where the gold comes from

Destiny 2’s cosmetic system is pretty alright. It’s slowly improved over the years, but with transmogifying armour pieces, we can really make cool looks for ourselves. And we finally don’t have to turn legendary shards into individual colour shaders now. The original implementation of cosmetics in Destiny 2 were insane. These days though, even F2Players can at the very least make themselves look alright. However, like all cosmetics, we can go further and deeper. The technology is there, we just need to believe.   Shaders for everything Admittedly, there isn’t much left in Destiny 2 that you can use a… [Continue Reading]

Weird Pokemon Dimensions in Pokemon GO

by
Community Day Exclusive Pokemon You Should Evolve

Every time you catch a Pokemon, regardless of game, that Pokemon has stats about how big it is. How much it weighs and how tall it is. These numbers are generally completely random, but it’s a nice bit of flavour text whenever you catch some Pokemon. Makes them not look like clones or something like that. However, in Pokemon GO, you can’t see if a Pokemon is big or small until after you’ve caught it. Thankfully, sizes don’t really mean much, right? Cosmetic sizes All Pokemon have a height and weight given to them, with a small chance of being… [Continue Reading]

Season of the Haunted – Moon’s Haunted, the Sequel

by
The Reappearance of the Leviathan

The Moon in Destiny 2 is a scary place. It’s nothing but ruins, infested with crimson-armoured Hive. All across the planet, dimly glowing ghosts linger around, trapped and lost. The only thing worth going there for is to kill lots of Hive in a cold, desolate space. And to make matters worse, it turns out there’s a massive dark pyramid buried under the Moon’s surface. While it remains dormant, there have been rumbles of darkness leaking out, and the whole environment is a dangerous mess. But somehow, with Destiny 2’s Season of the Haunted, the Moon has only gotten scarier.… [Continue Reading]

Such Wonderful Parkour

by
Volt with the new shoulder armour and Synoid Pyrana skin

I know I said the other day that I’ll be playing less Warframe, but something occurred to me, and I needed to get in-game to find out. The thing I found out was that the Voidshell skins look a bit like Rhino’s rubedo skin. Since I was there though, I thought I might as well do some quick bounties or missions or something. After all, there is a season pass in Warframe as well, and I’m at a woefully low level. Not that I need anything from Nightwave, but I can’t say no to more Kuva. As I loaded Warframe… [Continue Reading]

Why 6-Hour Community Days are Better in Almost Every Way

by
A bunch of evolved starter Pokemon

For reasons unknown, Niantic is trying to make everything in Pokemon GO back to pre-covid conditions. While smaller things like green research tasks and a daily Pokemon are cute and helpful, they’ve been taking away plenty of stuff. Players rallied together to keep the 80m diameter on interactions with Gyms and Pokestops, and Incense has been nuked from orbit. And now Niantic has focused on a new feature that they want to ruin: Community Days. Originally Community Days were okay Before all the Covid stuff, Community Days were mostly the same. Three hours, catching anything that isn’t nailed down, and… [Continue Reading]

Taking a Break from Warframe

by
A Volt enjoying the sunshine with his inflatable rubber ring

After 4000 hours, countless articles and years of running around as a bright yellow Volt, I finally think it’s time I took a proper break from Warframe. Now, normally, I wouldn’t bother telling anyone that I am taking a break, but we get a lot of traffic here on the Daily SPUF that is Warframe-related and normally somewhat up to date. If I’m not playing Warframe though, I can’t be up to date. So I think it’s worth announcing. But anyway, I don’t know how long I won’t be playing for, probably just for a month or so. However I… [Continue Reading]

A Community Day I Completely Forgot About

by
Geodudes, pre-collected

Did you know that there was a Community Day the other week? On Saturday 21st of May? No? Neither did I. Now, granted, I was pretty occupied with real-life things. But my brother also plays Community Days too, and he forgot about this one as well. For two long-time players of Pokemon GO, this seems a little odd. How did we forget about a Community Day? Sorry, Geodude. The forgotten Community Day in question featured a pretty common Pokemon. Because this month was the Season of Alola, we were destined to get a Pokemon from the Alolan region. After all,… [Continue Reading]
