A Ramble About Pockets

by
A zip

One of my most favourite pieces of clothing that I own is a long-sleeved black top with white stars on it. I have no idea where this top came from, but I’ve owned it for several years now. The nicest thing about this top though? It has pockets. A pocket on each side, not always noticeable. Sure, those pockets aren’t the deepest, nor do they have a way of being sealed. But when it comes to putting something temporarily in said pockets, it’s so nice that my starry top can help. Unfortunately though, the rest of my wardrobe mostly lacks… [Continue Reading]

Using Weapons as Cosmetics

Excalibur with Kronen Prime wings

When I first started playing Warframe, one of my biggest desires was to give my stumpy Warframe some wings. At the time, there weren’t really any options at all and I was too new to understand things like Tennogen items. But when we had no platinum and only weapons, we tried all sorts to make ourselves look like wings. Granted, most of these are melee weapons, mostly because melee weapons have more varied sheathing positions. You can do more than you’d think with all the holstering options that melee weapons have. Anyway, here’s to a small trip down memory lane,… [Continue Reading]

Not A Fan of Modern Minecraft

by
Minecraft with a resource pack, a shader and Optifine

Modern Minecraft is a pretty neat thing. It has traveled a long way, with thousands of new additions. Over time, it has become one of the most popular games on the planet, and even makes its way into education. Very few games can top just how popular Minecraft is. On top of that, Minecraft has had constant updates over the years, keeping it somewhat fresh and new. However, I find I’m not a fan of modern Minecraft. Something about it just doesn’t sit right with me. I just don’t seem to enjoy it any more. Busier Worlds Minecraft is much… [Continue Reading]

Customizing The Most Confusing Things

by
This is Ordis.

When it comes to customization, Warframe really lets you create gorgeous things. With a myriad of not just colour schemes, but also armour, capes and more, decorating a Warframe is an enjoyable experience. Not only can you decorate a ton of things, but you can decorate things on a budget, and there are plenty of free customization options too. Bow and Arrows and Dangly things You can decorate a lot of things on and around your Warframe, to the point that one can forget stuff. Bows for example can be coloured and there are several skins for them. What’s interesting… [Continue Reading]

Things that should be Ephemeras

by
Particle effect after using a True Master Blessing

Ephemeras are great. They’re basically Unusual Hats but for Warframe and not worn on the head. An Ephemera uses the colours of your armour, so you can match it to the rest of your Warframe. Some However, there are also some things that could be awesome Ephemeras, they just haven’t been added yet. Syndicate Gear Funnily enough, Syndicates did get some cosmetics recently. There are currently full armor sets for the Syndicates, Cetus and Fortuna.  However, you know what would be just as cool? Ephemeras. You don’t even really need to get too fancy with these. Maybe, as a player… [Continue Reading]

Lures VS Incense in Pokemon GO

by
Season of Discovery spawns in windy weather

Not everyone lives in a massive city with hundreds or even thousands of Pokestops. Some places, like where I live, have small pockets of high density Pokestops, but trail off quite quickly. Other places have pretty much nothing when it comes to Pokestops, and rely solely on one tiny spawn point, or the daily spawn of one Pokemon. Luckily though, there is a way or two that you can force Pokemon to spawn. If you have a Pokestop nearby, you can deploy a Lure module on it, and Pokemon will spawn at the Pokestop one at a time, as long… [Continue Reading]

All These Guys Living Rent-Free on my Island

by
my island

I’ve been playing Animal Crossing a bit, and honestly, I’m confused. What am I actually doing here? My island, called Kinigi, has a bunch of animals living on it and wandering around the place as if they own it. Why these people are here? Well, I invited them. Most of them. The others visited via my camp site or on their own islands. The first two were quite nice. A rhino called Tank and a cute piggy called Agnes. They were randomly invited to the island randomly and they are fine. As starter villagers, they are both nice, even if… [Continue Reading]

How I’d Change Warframe’s New Player Experience

by
Phovos the Excalibur in his blue and orange colour scheme.

I won’t deny it, Warframe’s tutorial missions suck. You are very quickly left on an island, not really sure what you can do and where you should go. Sure, there are signposts somewhat pointing you in the right direction, but most of Warframe’s information and guides are outside the game itself. And having barely any inventory makes things worse. So here is how I’d improve the new player experience. Because, frankly, the recent introduction changes are mostly cosmetic. They just added a cool trailer at the start of the game. Give more weapon options Funnily enough, there’s actually quite a… [Continue Reading]

My Overall Thoughts About the New War

by
A Grineer with a Corinth Prime

I’ll be honest with you all, I’ve made far too many articles referring to the New War. We need a change of pace, and I’ll be on that shortly. But there’s an article I’ve not actually written about yet. My overall, general thoughts regarding the New War. Now, I’ve had many, many thoughts about the New War quest, mostly because it’s the big new thing that’s appeared in Warframe. A game-altering event with some small, noticeable changes, but also completely shakes up Warframe’s lore before swiftly returning to normalcy. However, there is something that is still bothering me about the… [Continue Reading]

Little World-Building Tidbits I’d Like to See in Warframe

by
A Volt enjoying the sunshine with his inflatable rubber ring

Warframe has a lot going for it. We recently had a war go in and have just started making things go back to normal. In particular, the New War did somewhat show how normal people lived, most notably for the Tenno. However, I feel like a lot of world-building lore is pretty well hidden, restricted to quests or events of the past. Here are a few ideas I’ve had, to add just a pinch of nice lore into the daily grind. Exploring other colonies a bit more “What other colonies?” you may ask. Well, there’s been a few mentioned. In… [Continue Reading]
