On No Longer Worrying About Balance

by
Nidus with a Plague Zaw

Back when Deimos first cane out, the infested room in the back of our ships was reworked. After obtaining a module from Son, one of the Entrati family on Deimos, we could rework the fleshy infested space into a way to, well, change things. By sacrificing a Warframe to the Helminth, we could take one of that Warframe’s abilities, then put it on another Warframe. The Helminth system ended up proving to be be quite popular. While it is a pain having to re-farm for Warframes we already had or needed to subsume, we gained the ability to be quite… [Continue Reading]

I Don’t Trust This Pirate Lord Guy

by
Eat that banana now

So there’s a guy who is kinda in charge of the Sea of Thieves. At the very least, he controls most of the outposts and keeps it raining money. The Sea of Thieves is a massive secret, cut off from the rest of humanity. And everything in the Sea of Thieves is somehow related to this self-proclaimed Pirate Lord. But there’s something off about this guy, and I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe it’s because his name is Ramsey. Either way, I don’t trust this guy. So much power yet all you do is hide Ramsey is,… [Continue Reading]

On Solo’ing a Deoxys

Gastly scaring an Attack Form Deoxys

When it comes to one-player raids in Pokemon GO, the average player can easily do one-star raids and complete three-star raids with little trouble. Unless it’s a three-star Shuckle raid. Those things are tanky. However, the idea of a solo player beating a level 5 raid is often out of the question. There ARE ways of soloing some raids, but they often require a full party of shadows, a Mega Pokemon or both. Over the years though, with better Legendaries, Community Days with strong moves and just better moves in general, the task of solo-ing a level 5 raid becomes… [Continue Reading]

The Luckiest Magikarp in a Dynamax Raid

A Shiny Persian watches a Magikarp

For a while now, I kinda forgot that I had a Nintendo Switch. It sat in its bag on my desk, gathering a little bit of dust as I continued to not use it. I did plan to do a play-through of Animal Crossing, but, frankly, it would be pretty boring. All that aside, I opened up Pokemon Shield, to see what my party was doing. For some reason, my entire team, aside from my starter, were poison types. Anyway, weird team composition aside, I noticed that I was in Hammerlocke, one of the two places connected to the wild… [Continue Reading]

Back 4 Blood, Left 4 Dead and Ambience

by
Left 4 Dead? Left 4 Bohrok!

Recently I’ve been watching zombie things. Shaun of the Dead is my favourite zombie movie, but there are plenty of other ones. I’ve also been playing zombie things, namely Left 4 Dead 2, as well as trying out Back 4 Blood. While one is the spiritual ancestor of the other, these games invoke very different feelings. In this article, I am only going to compare aesthetics, ambiance and the general background setting. The gameplay is best left for later. Different timelines in similar apocalypses While yes, Left 4 Dead and Back 4 Blood are set in very similar universes, the… [Continue Reading]

5 Tiny Weeny Tips that Could Save Your Pirate’s Life in Sea of Thieves.

by
Docked and ready to sail

The Sea of Thieves can be a dangerous place. Wait, did I say “can be”? It’s always a dangerous place. There are skeletons, ghosts and enemy pirates to contend with. All these bastards want is you dead and your loot whisked away. However, in my limited time sailing on these seas, I have a few obvious tips that could really save your skin. Have canons loaded at all times Funnily enough, a lot of people leave their cannons unloaded while they do other things. But leaving cannons unloaded can make all the difference. It takes time to reload a cannon… [Continue Reading]

“Interesting” Pirate Tactics

by
Sailing on the Sea of Thieves

The other day, I was playing on a sloop for the first time in ages. It was just Bacxaber and me, working towards some Reaper’s Bones commendations that Bacxaber needed. We didn’t really have much of a plan, we were just piecing together a treasure map and looking for a vault. It was reasonably quiet, just slow. As we finished the vault and sailed away though, we caught the attention of another Reaper ship. One that was hungry for our loot. Seemed like a normal fight at first This sort of thing is pretty normal. It’s generally assumed that any… [Continue Reading]

The Five Most Annoying Little Things in Pokemon GO

by
Community Day Exclusive Pokemon You Should Evolve

There’s a lot of both good and bad in Pokemon GO. Sometimes the game works fine, and sometimes your raid pass gets eaten and you need to speak to support. But there are some little things that can really ruin your day, just by being really annoying. Here are five Pokemon GO things we all find annoying as heck. Tapping the wrong Pokemon Imagine this: a big event with hundreds of spawns. You’re using Incense and Lures too. Suddenly you see a Deino wedged between a Pansear and a Nosepass. No matter what you do, you just can’t tap on… [Continue Reading]

In Defense of Comic Sans

by
comic sans

There are a lot of things that, for various reasons, really seem to piss people off. Pineapple on pizza is one such example. People get so riled up about it, despite pineapple on pizza having been a thing for decades. Something else that gets hated on all the time is the font Comic Sans. Even before Undertale and that particular named character, there has always been a ton of hate when it comes to Comic Sans. And, as someone who does come from the designer world, some of those reasons are perfectly valid. But are we being too harsh? Or… [Continue Reading]

Do You Remember When Nightwave had Story?

by
Nora Night, or what we see of her

Does anyone remember when Nightwave first came out? We got a little diorama where we see the big bad wolf escaping from prison, setting up the premise of a story? I’ll be honest, I’d not be surprised if you didn’t remember, because Series 1, the Wolf of Saturn Six, came out in early 2019. A good three years ago. Since then, we’ve had two other stories and… that’s kinda it. Since Glassmaker ended in January of 2021, it’s been nothing but intermissions. Let’s quickly recap on these tales. So yeah, I don’t blame you for forgetting the old stories. They… [Continue Reading]
