Rowlet Community Day

January 7, 2024January 6, 2024 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go, rowlet

Another year, another month and another community day! January 2024 starts the year off with Rowlet, the little owl Pokemon. And one of the very few starters with a secondary type. Rowlet is grass/flying, and evolves into Decidueye, a grass/ghost type. Evolving it during the community day will make it learn the exclusive move Frenzy Plant, while it can now also freely learn the move Spirit Shackle. The community day had the same rewards as most other ones: double candy, triple stardust, double chance for XL candy and the 3-hour duration for lures and incenses. Sadly, there was no egg… [Continue Reading]

Things in Pokemon GO that Still Annoy Me

January 6, 2024December 26, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

Pokemon GO is a good, simple game, with some hidden complexities for those who want to find them. However, there are LOTS of annoying features as well. Things that are simply really annoying. Here are the ones that are currently annoying me. Waiting for Raids Raids, for some reason, spend more time as eggs than they do as actual battles. An egg appears on a gym with a 1 hour countdown. But when that egg hatches into a raid, it only appears for 45 minutes. So you spend most of your time waiting. There are times where this doesn’t happen.… [Continue Reading]

The 4000th Article

January 5, 2024December 26, 2023 Medic 0 Comments 4000, daily spuf

Well, here we are. The 4000th article. I suppose I should be pretty proud. After all, we’ve been keeping this blog daily for over 10 years, and have produced all sorts of interesting literature. We’ve covered a lot here at the Daily SPUF. Between a small handful of writers, we have torn games inside and out, written very long articles about very small things, gone out to local comic conventions, beaten things to death with a digital fish on drugs and spent way too much time with the colour yellow. I wouldn’t say our blog is the most varied blog… [Continue Reading]

Okay Maybe The Zariman Isn’t So Bad After All…

January 4, 2024December 26, 2023 Medic 0 Comments bounties, warframe, zariman

For ages, I’ve been putting off the weird area and syndicate known as the Zariman. I should have really wanted to jump into this place, since it’s where a scared child made the deal with the Man in the Wall and the Tenno were born. The ship got stuck in the Void, the weird space between spaces, but has suddenly reappeared at the end of the New War, plugging a gap between our universe and the Void itself. It seems that the evil within the Void wants to escape, and the Zariman is the only thing stopping it from doing… [Continue Reading]

When you’re on a five hour flight, sometimes you need something to pass the time. While, for me, passing the time normally involves writing, drawing and listening to music, sometimes you just want to do something else to pass the time. Something a bit silly. There are hundreds of sandbox games on the Play Store, and I’ve played a few of them. I was surprised a while back that Solar Smash was on Play Store as a free to play game with adverts. Minecraft could also be considered a sandbox game, and originally it had a demo on the Play… [Continue Reading]

Operation Gargoyle’s Cry is Simple But Great

January 2, 2024January 5, 2024 Medic 0 Comments arcanes, clan, operation, operation gargoyle's cry, warframe

Clan events aren’t particularly common, but Whispers in the Walls has introduced Operation Gargoyle’s Cry, a new event where there is some clan participation required. Fibonacci has had the great idea of using clan dojos to set up a surveillance system across local space, in order to better track the Murmur. However, some miscalculations mean that the Murmur are also getting some sort of vision, and Fibonacci needs us to murder some Fragmented Ones in order to re-calibrate his magical Jahu Gargoyles, the devices he’s placed in our dojos in the first place. The basis of the operation is simple.… [Continue Reading]

Happy 2024!

January 1, 2024December 22, 2023 Medic 0 Comments 2024, new year

It’s a new year! That means lots of new things! We can forget about the mess that was 2023 and look forward to a fresh start. One that involves me doing a lot more writing. There’s a huge amount of work ahead of me, and a whole new year to hopefully not screw up. So what does 2024 have in store for us? Well, I’m not sure, I’m not from the future. But one thing I know for certain we will have is time travel. In Warframe. Because we’re getting Warframe 1999 this year. And, if what we saw in… [Continue Reading]

A Farewell to 2023

December 31, 2023December 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments 2023, retrospective

2023 has been a year, and it’s now over. Like most years, a lot has happened. But let’s focus on some positive things. Like all the apps I use that are screaming at me to review what I’ve done this year. I’m mostly looking at you, Spotify, stop judging me. You too, Steam. Google Play Store on the other hand probably has nothing to say apart from the fact that I’ve played too much Pokemon GO. Speaking of which, despite what Steam says, Pokemon GO has been my most-played game this year. Mostly because I have needed the exercise. Although… [Continue Reading]

The Murmur are Cool But We Even Need More of Them

December 30, 2023December 19, 2023 Medic 0 Comments enemy faction, murmur, warframe, whispers in the walls

The Murmur are a new enemy faction in Warframe, that came out in Whispers in the Walls. They mostly consist of two things: ghostly limbs and cracked limestone pieces. They can currently only be found on the Entrati Labs/Great Indifference tile set on the five new nodes on Deimos, located underneath the infested landscape and Orokin derelicts above. Funnily enough, Deimos has three distinct tile sets now, rivaling Earth. The Murmur are a weird faction. They mostly attack via melee swings or laser attacks, very little else. Most of the time, you see either the grabbing arms or the weird… [Continue Reading]

Why I’m Ultimately Fine With Safer Seas’ Drawbacks

December 29, 2023December 18, 2023 Medic 0 Comments safer seas, sea of thieves

Safer Seas in Sea of Thieves comes with a lot of drawbacks. There are no emissary flags, you can’t go higher than level 40 on a faction and you can’t use captained ships or the Sovereigns. The biggest drawback is that all gold is cut back by 70%, meaning whatever you sell will only sell for 30% of its normal value. For example, an Ashen Winds skull sells for 15k on High Seas but sells for 3k on Safer Seas. All gold earned is cut down, including rewards from the season, as well as events. For the Gifts and Glory… [Continue Reading]
