On The Difficulty of Level 50 Pokemon

Rhyhorn Shiny Family

As of writing, the Pokemon with the highest CP I own is a 100% IVs Rhyperior, at level 49. Obtaining XL candy for this Pokemon has been nothing short of slow and random. Thankfully, in the Season of GO, Rhyhorns have been relatively common, especially in sunny weather. Weather that I see all the time. Still, even with walking the former 100% Rhydon for candy, it’s taken a good chunk of this season to even get this far. Simply put, level 50 is a hard target to reach. There aren’t many other Pokemon that I’ve evolved past level 40. I… [Continue Reading]

My Favourite Cooking Channels

Cooking is one of my favourite hobbies. I love baking cakes, making dough and attempting to flip pancakes. However, my inspiration doesn’t come from nothing. My inspirations are fed by various Youtube channels, all of which do cooking and baking in a different way. Nino’s Home A lot of people love Nino’s Home because they think Nino is cute and want to read the subtitles, that tend to roast the viewer. Nino is very much aware that his videos bring in a lot of fangirling and he does a lot to cater to them. I… I’m not a fan of… [Continue Reading]

Why can’t I get into Destiny 2?

Destiny 2 6v6 gameplay pvp

I really want to like and play Destiny 2. But recently, I’ve just been somewhat sitting on the outskirts, not actually playing the game at all. Sure, I watched that big announcement on Lightfall. I saw them showing off this place on Neptune, I watched them unveil Strand as their next Dark subclass. And I liked all of it. It was all pretty darn cool. But there’s something that troubles me. No matter how much cool stuff I see in Destiny 2, I just… can’t seem to get in game and play. Even when I do have friends to play… [Continue Reading]

A Pirate Legend?

Ships at the Fort of Fortune

The other day, I finally hit a cool target while playing Sea of Thieves. I reached rank 50 with the Merchants, the third level 50 rank I needed to become a Pirate Legend. However, I… don’t really… feel like a Pirate Legend? It’s hard to explain, especially since I haven’t been playing that long. Or maybe I have been playing for that long. I already have 100 hours played in Sea of Thieves. Bloody hell, the time flies. I still feel like a newbie though. Despite being a pirate legend. And being at level 50 for three separate emissaries. I… [Continue Reading]

Several Reasons Why You Should Have a Machamp or Two

Wonderchamp, a 4* Machamp with 2 moves

Everyone should have a Machamp. It’s such a useful Pokemon. Why? Well Machamp is just so damn useful. It’s good to have a few of them, six at least. Even having one single, great Machamp does a lot for you. But how useful IS Machamp? There are plenty of reasons why. The best choice for defeating gyms What do you normally see in Gyms? Snorlax, Slaking and Blissey, of course! Big, bulky Pokemon. These Pokemon have high health, even as their motivation drops. These Pokemon are also Normal types. Which means they are weak to Fighting types. And Machamp has… [Continue Reading]

A Brief Look At Gemini Home Entertainment

GEMINI HOME ENTERTAINMENT

It’s rare for me to watch actual horror movies, especially on Youtube. My grip on reality isn’t the best and scary movies can and do haunt me for ages. However, lately, I’ve stumbled across “Analog horror”. It’s basically unsettling and traumatic stories being told via found footage or classic VHS cassettes. Older horror, before the time that we all had computers in our pockets. They are designed to look exactly like they came off from video tapes One particular analog horror though stands out to me: GEMINI HOME ENTERTAINMENT. And I want to talk a little about it. Before I… [Continue Reading]

D&D 5e: 5 Good Feats For Monks

Monks have a problem when it comes to grabbing feats in that they are highly dependant on ability score improvements (ASIs) to function. They need good Dexterity, Wisdom, and Constitution to function, and if you don’t improve those numbers, you’ll quickly fall behind. That means the only time I can really recommend taking a feat on Monk is as a 1st level Variant Human/Custom Lineage. (Or if you have an odd-numbered Dex or Wis and take a feat that boosts either stat by +1). With that being said, there are several stellar feat options if you go ahead and do… [Continue Reading]

Krakens Suck

Sailing on the Sea of Thieves

I’ve been playing Sea of Thieves for a while now and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. However, not everything is perfect in this pirate game. Like most games, there’s always a flaw or two, some things that just aren’t likeable, and events that are seemingly random. As you sail, you can run into mermaid puzzle bubbles, find sunken ships or perhaps get attacked by a Megalodon. And then we have Krakens. Krakens suck. Krakens are like Megalodons except more annoying and ready to waste a lot more of your time. You don’t even get to see most of them.… [Continue Reading]

More Candies for Better Throws Should be the Norm

Pokemon Go Cherrim

During the Ultra Bug Out event, a new passive bonus was released, alongside a bunch of other event buffs. Simply put, you’d get more candy based on the quality of a throw. A Nice throw would earn you one extra candy, a Great throw two candy and an Excellent throw 3 candy. With a pinap berry, that’s up to 12 candy for an Excellent throw on a normal Pokemon. Pretty neat, right? Sadly, this extra candy for good throws is only for the Bug Out event, and once it’s gone, we might not ever see it again. However, the extra… [Continue Reading]

Fishing in the Sea of Thieves

Ships at the Fort of Fortune

I’ve always enjoyed fishing in video games. While I’ve never properly gone fishing in real life, I’m quite happy to do so in the confines of a video game. Heck, I have spent multiple hours staying up and fishing, over a nice selection of games. Somehow, I’m just attracted to fishing mini games. My two favourite games to fish in are Warframe and Minecraft. In Warframe, I used my love of fishing to, well, fish my way up to the top rank of Cetus. Using Volt, I could catch fish with ease and without buying other fishing spears. In Minecraft,… [Continue Reading]
