A Biased Opinion on the Seas

October 15, 2023October 15, 2023 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves

The other day, I wrote an article about Safer Seas, the new mode that is coming to Sea of Thieves in December, as part of Season 10. The whole idea behind Safer Seas is that you can sail alone, with a crew, and not be disrupted by anyone. It’s basically a temporary private server for you and your friends. Now, when I wrote this article, I was kinda against the whole idea, fearing that it might suck the life out of playing the normal game mode. I’ve noticed this on other articles as well, and I think I have a… [Continue Reading]

On Creating A Route

October 14, 2023October 3, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, routes, zygarde

A while ago, I made a route in Pokemon GO. However, it never appeared in-game, and appears to be stuck in limbo. So, the other day, I gave up on ever seeing that route, and decided to make another one. I could have done this sooner, but for a long time, I was experiencing crashes when trying to start the route creation process, so I basically gave up. However, in the mean time, there had been multiple bug fixes, so I decided to try again. The route I decided to make was around my local park. It’s not a very… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts on Safer Seas

October 13, 2023October 2, 2023 Medic 0 Comments safer seas, sea of thieves

In Season 10, Sea of Thieves is introducing a new game mode. Coming in December 2023, we will gain access to Safer Seas, which works similarly to sailing the normal High Seas, except it’s your own private instance. Basically, by playing Safer Seas, you can explore the Sea of Thieves with your crew and no one else. It’s basically a private server, although you still need to be connected to the internet. However, despite containing the entirety of the Sea of Thieves, playing Safer Seas has some downsides. The most noticeable change is that you earn 70% less gold. While… [Continue Reading]

Always There For You To Play

October 12, 2023September 30, 2023 Medic 0 Comments fun, Team Fortress 2

There’s something odd about Team Fortress 2. There’s something about it that kinda draws me back, but also doesn’t actually mind if I don’t play. Somehow, Team Fortress 2 is just always there, sitting in the background, waiting to be played, no matter what. Okay, let me try to explain. Team Fortress 2 exists in some sort of stasis. You can drop Team Fortress 2, stop playing it completely, for years, only to come back and still be able to jump back in and play again. Sure, things aren’t exactly the same as they used to be. After all, there’s… [Continue Reading]

A Lack of Pirate Clothing

October 11, 2023September 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments clothes, cosmetics, pirate, sea of thieves

One of the main goals in the Sea of Thieves is to make your pirate look good. If you visit the shops on any outpost, most of them are selling cosmetics for you to buy. Some are premium, some aren’t. But there are a lot of cool things to buy, to make your pirate look cooler. There’s something odd about all of this though. There’s a bit of a lack of, well, clothing for pirates. Admittedly, there are plenty of pirate captain clothes. If you want to look like a pirate captain, then you can buy all sorts of jackets… [Continue Reading]

Routes in Pokemon GO are still a broken feature

October 10, 2023September 28, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, routes

Routes are a relatively new feature in Pokemon GO, and they are a royal pain in the arse. You have to follow a set path through goodness knows where, and there’s not much to do on them. Sure, you can get some random Pokemon spawning on these routes, but that’s about it. Routes solely exist to give us Zygarde Cells. Sometimes. Completing routes does give you some rewards, but they are very lop-sided. I went on a walk with my brother the other day, and I got some berries and stardust for completing a route. He got two Elite Fast… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts on the 3900th Article and more

October 9, 2023September 27, 2023 Medic 0 Comments ramble

This isn’t the 3900th article. In fact, the 3900th article was posted back on September 27th. And, for a change, it wasn’t an article that I wrote. Glacier penned a fantastic article about Halo’s Digsite Matters, reviewing it all in a splendid article you can find here. It’s actually a great article, I really like it. I’ve never really been a massive Halo fan, but Glacier’s writing sells it to me. Now I kinda want to play this Crash Site necromancy, to see everything that Bungie wanted to put into Halo and couldn’t. Was this article intended to be the… [Continue Reading]

Too Many Shinies?

October 7, 2023September 25, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, shiny

Sometimes, one suffers from success. In most Pokemon games, shiny Pokemon are stupidly rare and hard to get. It’s almost pure luck, and you can only increase your chances with bizarre methods, or by completely filling the game’s Pokedex, which gives you an item to make things ever so slightly easier. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet though, hunting for shinies was made a lot easier, thanks to special sandwiches that boost the chance of shiny Pokemon appearing nearby. However, even Scarlet and Violet’s ways of getting shiny Pokemon are anywhere near as close as the chances in Pokemon GO. In… [Continue Reading]

Sea of Thieves Isn’t A Hard Game

October 6, 2023September 24, 2023 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves

I’ve been playing Sea of Thieves for a while now, and I like to think I am quite good at it. Sure, I’m not amazing, but I can get in a boat, sail it to an island or two and shoot some skeletons or ghosts. I’d struggle to do a Legend of the Veil quest on my own, however, I am at least somewhat competent. However, I don’t really have that many hours in Sea of Thieves, and I play rather irregularly, meaning that I don’t really get much practice. I also play with very, very competent pirates so I… [Continue Reading]

Things That Annoy Me About The Buddy System in Pokemon GO

October 4, 2023September 22, 2023 Medic 0 Comments buddy, pokemon go, rant

I like the buddy system in Pokemon GO. It’s very simple and basic, but it’s nice to have a companion Pokemon that follows you around and gives you certain gifts and buffs as you level your buddy up. But the system is certainly not perfect, and there are definitely some things that annoy me. My first pet peeve is feeding buddies with berries. You need three berries initially to get started and have your buddy wander around, and feeding it additional berries will keep your buddy out in the real world. To earn hearts, you have to feed your buddy… [Continue Reading]
