On Trying To Get Back Into Drawing Again

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I’ve been trying to get back into drawing again. Now I’m more settled down in my life, I have the ability to find my pens and pencils and actually sit down and draw stuff. But doing so has been more… frustrating than I’d like. I’m supposed to be actually good at art and things like that, but lately, I’m really just not feeling it. A small problem is, well, I’ve had to get new pens and pencils and sketch books. Most of my sketch books and pens seemingly disappeared during the move, and I never got around to getting new… [Continue Reading]

Little Quality of Life Things I want in Sea of Thieves

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Sea of Thieves actually has a lot of decent accessibility features. You can use text to speech, have subtitles and turn on a lot of useful little things, like holding or tapping to interact with objects. However, there’s always a few little things that I feel like Sea of Thieves needs, that are more gameplay-orientated. Markers for skeleton ship loot Skeleton and ghost fleets are both world events, and when you kill a ghost ship, you get a couple of wraiths circling where the loot drops. When you defeat a skeleton ship though, that loot just bobs up and down… [Continue Reading]

Vision – The One Thing I Never Got About League of Legends

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

There are two things I’ve never really understood in League of Legends. The first is how to jungle efficiently. Jungling in League of Legends has changed a lot over the years, with different monsters and buffs and items, but I never learned how to farm properly and when the best time to gank, help a lane or whatever. The other thing I never understood was vision. Now, when I used to play League of Legends, I mostly played support. And support was generally in charge of applying vision to the map, as well as protecting the ADC and stopping them… [Continue Reading]

Party Play Is Pretty Good Now

Medic 0 Comments , ,

With the end of the Season of Adventures Abound, we got an event revolving around Adventures Abound’s biggest feature, Party Play. Party Play allows you to team up with up to three other trainers, see each other on the overworld, do research tasks together and take on bosses more easily than ever. The event, Party Up!, celebrated the feature and also brought back the new generation 9 Pokemon and the new shinies from the season. When Party Play originally came out, it was a bit underwhelming. Not only did it come with a bug which could delete all your saved… [Continue Reading]

On Just Driving Around the City

Medic 0 Comments

In real life, I’m not really a fan of driving. I find it tedious and only drive because I have to. While it is nice to drive and listen to music, the cost of petrol is a large deterrent, and I don’t really like driving around for no reason. Now, in a video game? That’s not a problem. There’s no petrol to worry about, and I can listen to whatever I like. The game I normally do this in is Saints Row the Third. After I completed the main game, I spent a lot of time just driving around the… [Continue Reading]

The Thieves Guild Lacks Real Thieves

Medic 0 Comments ,

After a discussion with a friend about the politics of Skyrim, I decided to load up the game and give it a go. Well, I didn’t just load up Skyrim, I opened up Mod Organizer, used it to load SKSE, which then loaded Skyrim. It took a couple of attempts, but after I disabled a bunch of mods, I got Skyrim working and realized I’d installed a mod that had simplified every texture. I also discovered that I only had one save and it was pretty new, left at Diplomatic Immunity. I decided I was just going to roll with… [Continue Reading]

The Skull of Siren Song

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

For the second part of Season 10 in Sea of Thieves, we’ve got a new voyage. Or world event. I’m not really sure. The Skull of Siren Song is a new thing which can give you lots of money, while also inviting other crews to battle with you. While it is basically a voyage with two treasure maps, the voyage pops up in the middle of nowhere, attached to your mast for you to accept. When you accept the quest for the Skull of Siren Song, Captain Briggsy, of Tall Tale fame, appears, asking you to find the Skull of… [Continue Reading]

Another Awesome Adventure on the Stormcloud

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Sometimes, we don’t play as Reapers when we play Sea of Thieves. Sometimes, we want to do other stuff. For example, Bacxaber, Fox and I wanted to do Merchant Emissary missions in order to level up our ledger. The ledger can give out some pretty nice rewards, and these tend to rotate on the regular. To get all the rewards, you need a certain amount of emissary value, which can be obtained by raising an emissary flag and selling loot for whatever faction you decide to join. This time round, we were doing Merchants, specifically Lost Shipments. Most of this… [Continue Reading]

Mareep Classic Community Day

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

On November 25th, we had the Classic Community Day of the season. This classic community day though wasn’t the most interesting one as it featured Mareep, the little fluffy electric sheep. Mareep is actually a pretty common Pokemon, regardless of season, and has been around for a long time. It also had a research weekend event where you’d complete research tasks in order to get Mareep. Still, Mareep Community Day is what we got, and, weirdly, it came with quarter egg-hatching distance, again. Personally though, I’ve been wanting this. Despite all my years of playing, I never managed to actually… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts On Wanting to Play League of Legends Again

Medic 0 Comments

I’ve been watching a lot of random stuff on Twitch lately and one of those things is League of Legends streams. I don’t know why, but I find them pretty interesting to listen to. The game has changed a lot since I last played, and there’s tons of new characters that I don’t recognize. It’s also interesting to see a variety of people playing a variety of champions. The game does seem to have chilled out a bit though. Watching these matches, things seem less toxic. Maybe it’s because I’m watching higher level streamers, but the anger isn’t nearly as… [Continue Reading]
