Another Ramble About Destiny 2’s Shaders

by
My Destiny 2 Warlock, using a neat white, gold and purple shader

A while back, I rambled on about how I didn’t really like the cosmetic system in Destiny 2. Since I was regularly farming gear over and over to upgrade my light level, I was stuck with ugly, default colours. While I did have the ability to change my looks with shaders, it honestly wasn’t worth it. I was just wearing whatever had the biggest number on it, and hoped I’d find something better. In fact, one of the bigger turn-offs was how Destiny 2 shaders were one-use only. If I needed more shaders, I’d need to spend resources to obtain… [Continue Reading]

The Tenno’s Forgotten Past

by
Excalibur and Warframes speak to Lotus at Tennocon

In Warframe, there is a very specific name used for our characters. Warframes are our suits, we are Operators. But, as a whole, we are called Tenno. Not only are we particularly strange, but we have vast amounts of powers. We are considered as saviors to some, terrorists and betrayers to others. Most of the time though, we’re rampaging around, murdering thousands, all because of our greed. The Tenno are somewhat hypocritical and cause a lot of destruction. In fact, you could consider the Tenno as bad guys. Or at least nearly as bad as the bad guys. Frankly, it’s… [Continue Reading]

Locked In A Closet with A Bunch of Suits

by
Proto Excalibur and Proto Volt

It’s been three years since The Sacrifice came out in Warframe. While, for me, that seems somewhat recent, I’m pretty sure that most people feel like it was aaages ago. Time flies when you’re having fun, I guess. But there is something that troubles me about The Sacrifice. And it’s… a bit weird. A quick heads up! This article contains massive spoilers for one of Warframe’s bigger quests. I’d recommend finishing The Sacrifice before reading this article! Okay, to be fair, it WAS three years ago. Normally, most spoilers become unspoiled about a year afterwards. But because this quest is… [Continue Reading]

An Updated Ramble about the GO Battle League

by
Community Day Exclusive Pokemon You Should Evolve

One of the more-viewed posts on the Daily SPUF is an article about the GO Battle League. The article was released when the GO Battle League first came out. However, the new battling feature was… pretty broken. There were lots of issues and the experience was all-round pretty bad. But that article is pretty damn old now, and things have changed with the GBL. Mostly positive changes. More leagues and options A lot more Pokemon are viable for each league now. Although not all Community Days have been amazing for the GBL, we do have a lot more options. Niantic… [Continue Reading]

Taskmaster

I’ve had a very busy few weeks, but I recently had some time to myself and decided to spend it badly. Over the weekend, I watched pretty much nothing but Taskmaster. And I laughed a lot. But what even is Taskmaster and why am I laughing so much? Taskmaster is a comedy TV show that airs on Channel 4 in the UK, and was originally aired on the channel Dave. Yes, there’s a UK TV channel called Dave. It mostly shows reruns of Top Gear and similar shows. The Dave channel is also home to some panel shows and stuff… [Continue Reading]

Level 40 Weapons and a Ton of Forma

by
Volt with Kuva Bramma

A long time ago, a weapon called the Paracesis came out. The blueprint for this cool sword was a reward for listening to Ballas while he whined about Natah. However, the Paracesis wasn’t a normal weapon. Not at all. As well as having great stats, the Paracesis had an unusual gimmick. If you stuck up to five extra forma into the Paracesis, it would level up all the way to level 40. This was a somewhat interesting gimmick. It worked nicely on the one, single sword. The Paracesis is specially designed to cut through Sentients, and is a tool and… [Continue Reading]

Parvos’s Sisters and Their Lack of Lore Sense

by
A Sister of Parvos, awaiting her fate

It’s been a bit since the Sisters of Parvos appeared in Warframe, but something is bothering me about them. While, functionally, they are a lot like Kuva Liches, I feel like something is missing from them. Their lore doesn’t really make much sense. Well, some of it does. But all together, they seem to have a kinda messy and almost contradicting lore. What actually makes a Sister Candidate special? To create a Sister of Parvos, you need to get at least 25 kills in the Granum Void. Once you’ve done that and returned to reality, a Candidate will spawn. Stab… [Continue Reading]

A Feeling of “What now?” in Pokemon GO

by
Hoopa appeared in the loading screen over GO Fest

So, GO Fest has been and gone. It was two days of fun for me, I had a great time. However, as the event ended on Sunday, I had a weird feeling in the back of my head. That feeling faded over night, but came back in full force on Monday morning. That feeling was simple. “What now?” GO Fest was a little too much fun GO Fest was so fun that I got sun-burnt. On day 1 alone, I walked like 10km back and forth (I hatched 5 2km eggs on day 1), and we probably managed a good… [Continue Reading]

On Luck and Collections – Collection Tasks and Medals

by
The 5th Anniversary Collection Challenge

Over the last year or so, a new type of research has popped up. Collections are pretty simple tasks that tend to run over the course of an event. These events feel a bit like the main series games. All you have to do is catch the Pokemon on the list. Once you have all of them, you get a nice little reward. But while collection tasks seem simple and fine on the outside, there are some traps that need to be pointed out. It all depends on what is required. There have been small collections and big collections. One… [Continue Reading]

A Ramble About Indicators

About twenty minutes ago, I got home from shopping, after one of the most stressful drives in a while. I’m sure we’ve all had one of those days. No matter how confident and safe you are on the road, you simply can’t trust other people to be the same. The trip I make from the shop and back home doesn’t take long, it’s about 10 minutes both ways. Sure, I could theoretically walk to a closer, more expensive shop. But it’s like 32C while in the shade, and most of the walk has no shade at all. As much as… [Continue Reading]
