The Change To Remote Passes Is Still Stupid

August 7, 2023July 26, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, raid, remote raid passes, remote raiding

Back in March 2023, Niantic nerfed remote raid passes. They made remote raid passes a lot worse, nerfing them hugely while also making them more expensive. Now, a few months later, I can confirm that remote raid passes are still nerfed to heck. And I still think these nerfs are stupid. The biggest problem is the price. Simply put, Niantic nearly doubled the cost of raid passes. They used to cost the same as premium raid passes, and also had a bundle that cost 250 coins. Now remote raid passes cost 195 coins and the bundle of three costs 525… [Continue Reading]

Five Warframes You Should Definitely Try in 2023

August 6, 2023July 25, 2023 Medic 0 Comments rank, recommendation, warframe

There are way over 50 Warframes in Warframe now. With so many to choose from, it’s hard to decide where to start. Luckily, here’s a small selection of genuinely great Warframes that you should definitely try. Citrine Citrine is a pretty new frame, obtained by playing the Mirror Defense mission on Mars. She’s easy to get and she’s actually a damn good frame. Citrine’s abilities give her both damage and protection, as she can passively heal you, grant you damage reduction and give you a large chunk of status chance. Her little crystal turret is cool as well. She does… [Continue Reading]

Done with Duviri

August 3, 2023July 21, 2023 Medic 0 Comments duviri, warframe

I don’t know why, but Duviri doesn’t sit right with me. It feels weirdly disconnected. And I feel like I’m done with it. I don’t want to do anything Duviri-related any more. It’s cool and all, but I really just don’t enjoy it. A lot of what I don’t enjoy comes from the combat. I very much dislike the melee combat. It feels like an attempt to try a vaguely Dark Souls-like sort of combat but it feels disjointed, and there’s simply too much to do. You generally have too many enemies coming at you at once, so you don’t… [Continue Reading]

A Ramble About Updating Things

August 2, 2023July 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments ramble, rant, update

Everything these days seems to need updating. It’s rare that something will just go on working without any sort of outside influence, at least online. And since everything is online now, it’s easier to update things. But frankly, updates for the things I regularly use have been pissing me off lately. Recently, I got a notification to update the theme we use here on the Daily SPUF. It’s a pretty simple thing, nothing unusual. Unfortunately though, an update to the theme actually kinda broke the website. For some reason, the menu was broken and massive icons filled the screen. I… [Continue Reading]

What’s Left of the Narmer?

August 1, 2023July 19, 2023 Medic 0 Comments lore, narmer, warframe

During the New War, a new faction is introduced, the Narmer. The Narmer are essentially a cult forced on the origin system, kept in line via Narmer Veils, the horrible helmets that both control you and delude you into thinking that your lost loved ones are still with you. The Narmer Veils produce hallucinations that keep you in line, and pretty much all Narmer wear them, making them loyal to to both the Sentients and Ballas, an Orokin executor and one of the few remaining Orokin left alive. At least, until the end of the New War. However, although Ballas… [Continue Reading]

Poliwag Community Day

July 31, 2023July 30, 2023 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon, pokemon go, poliwag

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t exactly excited with this one. Poliwag isn’t the most popular Pokemon, and we recently had a water-type Pokemon for a previous community day – twice. In fact, I nearly forgot it was happening, and a lot of my friends weren’t interested either, some of which already had multiple Poliwag shinies. But I played a little anyway, and it was alright. A bit hot Here in Cyprus, it’s quite hot, especially at 2pm. Even with a bit of shade, I only played for about an hour. However, in that time, I managed to get five shinies,… [Continue Reading]

The Value of a Pinap

July 29, 2023July 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments

The Pinap Berry is probably the second most used berry, after wasting hundreds of golden Razz berries trying to catch legendary Pokemon. The Pinap is a humble berry, as it doubles the amount of candy you get from a Pokemon. Feed it to a Pokemon and it will literally shit out extra candy, assuming you catch it. It’s an insanely useful berry that gets used all the time and has an obvious reward. But the actual value of a Pinap berry seems kinda weird. Looking at it money-wise, the real world value is hard to calculate. Pinaps are stupidly rare… [Continue Reading]

The 5 Most-Impactful Steam Trades in My Life

July 28, 2023July 16, 2023 aabicus 0 Comments Filler, history, inventory, items, steam, trade, trading, weapons

There’s something kinda nice about having all my years of gaming stored on Steam. For people like me who got into the scene late, I can pretty much track my entire life through my Steam history, traipse through old screenshots and reviews to see what I was into during those phases of my life. But at least personally, the tab with the most nostalgia is somewhat hidden away in a dusty corner of the inventory screen. Expanding the dropbar near “Trade Offers” lets you see an itemized list of everything you’ve ever done to alter your inventory across Steam’s many… [Continue Reading]

The Problem With The Blazing Trails Event

July 27, 2023July 25, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, routes, trails

The Blazing Trails event ended on the 23rd, marking the end of probably one of the worst events in Pokemon GO for a long time. In this event, most players couldn’t even take part. The Blazing Trails event was supposed to introduce a new mechanic. But that mechanic didn’t even work. The new mechanic is the Route. Routes are player-made paths that you can follow, which give some sort of reward at the end and have Pokemon spawn among said routes. At least, that’s what’s supposed to happen. Many players found that following routes was tedious and were prone to… [Continue Reading]

What Even Is The Man In The Wall

Ever since Chains of Harrow, there’s been something lurking in the shadows, both there and not there. With the death of Rell, we have become susceptible to what is generally known as The Man In The Wall. Or Wally for short. This mysterious entity has been silently watching us, nudging us in various directions and often toying with us. The Man In The Wall is an enigmatic entity that no one really knows what it is. The first time we encounter The Man In The Wall is right at the end of The War Within. While he’s not mentioned throughout… [Continue Reading]
