My Five Favourite Warframe Bows

April 23, 2023April 13, 2023 Medic 0 Comments bow, warframe, weapon

In most games, bows are generally not particularly strong, at least when compared with guns and the like. But in Warframe, bows are actually really strong, keeping up and even beating standard guns. In fact, some of the strongest weapons in Warframe are bows. Anyway, here are my favourite bows. 5. Rakta Cernos Coming in at number five, we have the Rakta Cernos. Compared to the rest of the list, the Rakta Cernos is very much a standard bow. It shoots basic arrows that basically pin enemies to nearby walls. However, what makes the Rakta Cernos stand out is how… [Continue Reading]

Liches are Better Than Sisters

April 22, 2023April 12, 2023 Medic 0 Comments kuva lich, sister of parvos, warframe

Kuva Liches are better than Sisters of Parvos. That’s a fact. There’s no way you can convince me otherwise. Although I’ve mostly finished with Kuva Liches, I’d much rather farm them again over going against Sisters of Parvos. Here’s why. Easier to farm Firstly, Kuva Liches are far easier to get. If I want a Kuva Lich, then all I have to do is kill a bunch of Grineer to get one to spawn. Once it’s spawned, I can then stab the poor kuvaling and see what weapon it has. For Sisters of Parvos, you have to jump into the… [Continue Reading]

On Not Being Able To Roleplay

April 21, 2023April 11, 2023 Medic 0 Comments dungeons and dragons, roleplay, story

I’m a writer. I write constantly. Every day, I write 500 words, often more. I don’t just write articles, I write fiction as well. In fact, I do so much writing that it’s basically burned into me now, it’s a massive part of my routine, and because of it, I’ve been able to both keep The Daily SPUF daily, and my fictional writing is still going, slowly but surely. In my writing, I have to do a little bit of roleplay, putting myself in the shoes of my characters, or even my non-fiction readers. I also play a bit of… [Continue Reading]

“So What Happened To That Pokemon Violet Series?”

April 20, 2023April 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon violet

A while back, I started playing Pokemon Violet. I intended to do a complete playthrough, the same way I did with Pokemon Shield. However, it turns out that Pokemon Violet has a little too much to do, and, well, I kinda lost interest. To recap, I did do a bit of everything. I caught some Pokemon, I did some battles, you know the drill. The gyms I did were rather easy, but they weren’t particularly interesting. I also did one Team Star base, which I completed rather quickly, but I didn’t particularly enjoy. What did interest me was the Path… [Continue Reading]

Dead End Stories In Pokemon GO

April 18, 2023April 7, 2023 Medic 0 Comments lore, pokemon, pokemon go, story

Back at the start of the year, Pokemon GO had some sort of plot point featuring a massive door, that Arlo from Team GO Rocket wanted to open. Apparently it contained some sort of mystical power and we had to, I don’t know, stop him? At the end of the season though, nothing actually happened. It was a dead end plot point. We hardly even got to see what was behind this magical door, we just know that we stopped Arlo doing whatever it was he was doing. Now, some of you are probably thinking that Pokemon GO doesn’t have… [Continue Reading]

Togetic Community Day

April 17, 2023April 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go, shiny, togetic

On Saturday 15th, we had a rather odd community day. Rather than featuring a basic Pokemon, we got a first evolution. Togetic is an unusual Pokemon that has a baby form, Togepi. It then evolves into the Pokemon equivalent of a stealth jet. But was the community day any good? Well, it’s a yes and a no. When it comes to shinies, it’s a bit of a mess. Togetic’s shiny is actually very easy to miss. Several times I clicked on a shiny and nearly backed out because it didn’t look shiny at first glance. If it wasn’t for the… [Continue Reading]

Good Luck with Disguised Pokemon

April 16, 2023April 4, 2023 Medic 0 Comments ditto, pokemon go, zorua

Back when I was new to Pokemon GO, I had a bit of a problem. I needed to catch a Ditto in order to proceed with special research. It took me a while, but I eventually got one when Meltan was first teased as a new Pokemon, just after the Chikorita Community Day. And later on, for another quest, I needed another Ditto to proceed. I actually got lucky and didn’t have to travel far, as I found a Ditto disguised as a Rattata, about twenty minutes after I got that research. However, most people aren’t that lucky. Most early… [Continue Reading]

Little Tiny Things You May Not Have Noticed in Pokemon GO

April 15, 2023April 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, random, tips

Pokemon GO has tiny little tidbits that you may not notice. Not so much easter eggs, more little details that are easily missed. Here are some of these little tidbits. • Your shadow moves with the time of day. This is actually a somewhat newer feature, but the shadow of your avatar and the shadow of your buddy will move according to the time of day, getting longer in the evenings and shorter closer to noon. • Pokemon you have tapped on turn to face you. If you tap on a Pokemon and don’t catch it, it will turn to… [Continue Reading]

My Problems With Sea of Thieves

April 14, 2023April 2, 2023 Medic 0 Comments ramble, sea of thieves, time

I love Sea of Thieves. It’s a unique game, perhaps the only real game of its genre, and I absolutely adore it. There’s something wonderful about roaming the waves, murdering passers by and getting huge amounts of treasure. However, I do have a few small problems with Sea of Thieves, and I think it’s worth talking about. Before I start though, there are definitely some things which aren’t the fault of Sea of Thieves. One of my bigger problems is loading times, but that’s because my laptop is a little weak. Sea of Thieves requires an SSD drive in order… [Continue Reading]

D&D 5e: A Guide to Throwing Weapons

April 13, 2023May 16, 2023 aabicus 0 Comments d&d, Dungeons & Dragons, dungeons and dragons, guide, melee, roleplay, roleplaying, throwing weapons, thrown weapons, weapons

There are a few playstyles in 5e that don’t really receive enough developer support, in my humble opinion. Strength-based unarmed builds, for one, as well as single-wielding one-handed weapons without a corresponding shield. But throwing builds are probably the most-maligned on the list. Unless you stretch all the way into archery, non-spellcasters unfortunately aren’t going to hold their own in ranged combat. In today’s article, I want to discuss a few of the reasons why, and what an enterprising player can do to mitigate the issues. Problem #1: Action Economy Martial characters (except rogues) gain more attacks as they level… [Continue Reading]
