My Favourite Bullet Hoses

by
Atlas with a Grattler

I love a good bullet hose. A gun with a massive clip that shoots a torrent of bullets has always appealed to me. Said shower of bullets allows me to kill enemies I’d normally miss, and I can mow down common trash mobs with ease. A ‘Bullet Hose’ is a perfect name for any sort of gun that spews lead all over the place. Here are my favourite bullet hoses. Sweet Business Starting with Destiny 2, we have the Sweet Business. There are actually a few bullet hoses in Destiny 2, basically the Auto Rifle class of guns. A lot… [Continue Reading]

Uncertainties with the Nintendo Switch

by
Pokemon Go - Tyranitar

I’ve never really owned a handheld console before. The video game consoles I grew up with were all of the larger variety. My main consoles were the Playstation 2, which we bought on release, saving our pocket money. The Playstation 1 was played a lot as well. But we as a family didn’t get a new console until the Nintendo Wii came out. We only had a handful of games for the Wii, and the only one we played was Wii Sports. These days, I’m part of the PC Master Race. Well, I’m not, I play on a mediocre laptop.… [Continue Reading]

On Writing Over 2000 Articles – Medic’s 2000th article

by
An awesome Volt and an awesome Zenistar

Writing articles is interesting. With a story, you can normally do what you like, and everything has a chronological order. Articles on the other hand aren’t always as chronological. Non-fiction stuff requires research and sources, and opinion pieces tend to need backing up in some way. Writing in general is somewhat like a magical path, with lots of potential ways to go. But writing is also pretty difficult. Taking the words in your head and putting them on paper can be a chore. And when it comes to writing consistently, it’s easy to get dissuaded and upset if you can’t… [Continue Reading]

The Easy Way to Complete the K-Driven 1 Million Meters Achievement

A familiar Yellow Volt falling off his K-Drive

I’m normally not someone who collects achievements. But for Warframe, after I hit True Master, I needed something to do. I had completed most challenges in the game and there was very little left to do. So, for some reason, I turned to Warframe’s achievements on Steam. As soon as I did that, I realized that I had a monumental task ahead of me. I needed to travel over 1 million meters on my K-Drive. 1,000,000m. And so far, since Fortuna came out, three years ago nearly, I’d only managed 10% of that. Barely made a dent in it. But… [Continue Reading]

A Random Chat About A Scan

The other day, I experienced something new. On my doctor’s request, I went to a radiology clinic to get an MRI done. In fact, this MRI was so unusual and new to me, that I feel it’s worth talking about. For those who don’t know, an MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) is a way of viewing and inspecting inside your body. You basically sit in a giant magnet while radio waves bounce around, generating a view of inside your own body. While X-rays are normally used for bones and the like, an MRI is used to view our more squishy organs.… [Continue Reading]

On Being Able to Drive

I’ve just gotten back home from a trip. The drive varies, taking anywhere between an hour and a half to two hours. It’s certainly not a long drive, but it’s a long and rather boring journey. I’ve talked about the journey in the past and it’s not even that big a trip. For anyone from not-a-tiny-island, the journey is pretty damn insignificant. And it also says a lot about my attitude to driving. Which, admittedly, isn’t the best. I genuinely hate driving You’d think that the freedom of having a car would make me feel happy. But I don’t enjoy… [Continue Reading]

A Wish for Long Distance Communication in Pokemon GO

by
A Gift in Pokemon GO

In Pokemon GO, you need some form of communication. A massive part of Pokemon GO requires you to make friends and join each other in raids. Unless you are willing to skip doing Legendary and Mega raids, playing completely solo ends up being tiring rather than fun. The same applies for trading, to get Pokemon you want. However, Pokemon GO is actually quite strict with trades and raids. You can only trade when close to each other, and you can only send Remote Raid invites to 5 people. And with GPS not being constantly accurate, can make matters worse. At… [Continue Reading]

An Awkward Bout of Writers’ Block

by
An outdoors Dock on Jupiter

I’m not going to lie, things have been tough lately. Not in any particularly worrisome way, just, well, I feel out of sorts. A bit frustrated, very tired and all that sort of thing. When these emotions come along, the first thing that changes is my ability to write. Simply put, I have a massive case of Writers’ Block which I am struggling to escape from. No patience to write While I do have some free time, free time does not equal writing time. Free time can be spent on all sorts of things, like watching Youtube videos or attempting… [Continue Reading]

Sunshot

by
Sunshot, a Solar Exotic

Occasionally on the Daily SPUF, we talk about video game weapons. Most of the time, there are multiple weapons featured in our articles. But sometimes, a weapon can get an article all of its own. Because I either like it that much, or I genuinely hated. Mostly the former. Today, we’ll be looking at the Sunshot, one of the first Exotic Weapons I found in Destiny 2. Boom Now, normally, I’m not a fan of hand cannons and sidearms. Both have always felt somewhat weak to me, especially sidearms. They just don’t feel as hefty as a larger weapon. However,… [Continue Reading]

The other day, I saw Venom: Let There Be Carnage at the cinema. Rather amusingly, I had never watched the first movie, but, like, it was Venom. I’ve read tons of comics with Venom in, so I already had a vague idea what was going on. That being said, I actually didn’t even need to see it. Let There Be Carnage doesn’t really need it. Anyway here’s a random review of this movie. Before I start., there may be spoilers! Read at your own risk! The same old pattern of good guy fighting bad guy with same powers Not gonna… [Continue Reading]
