Please Let Us Keep the Dog Days Ephemera

by
A Volt enjoying the sunshine with his inflatable rubber ring

When Dog Days came by last year, one of the biggest requests was that we needed the cute rubber rings as a cosmetic. There was also huge demand for the water gun as a weapon skin. Sadly our wishes were not granted, and Dog Days 2020 faded away. But in 2021, we got our wishes. For 490 Nakak Pearls, you could buy the weapon skin. And for one Nakak Pearl, the Dog Days Ephemera was ours to keep. Except it’s not. The Dog Days Ephemera will go away after Dog Days ends. Why? I don’t know. For some reason, the… [Continue Reading]

On Using The Command Artifact

by
A red item dropping from a health chest. Thanks to the Command Artifact, I got to choose which rare item I picked up.

Artifacts are unlockable modifiers in Risk of Rain 2 that alter how the game plays out. Unlike most items though, you choose which artifacts you want to use at the start of the game, and they last until the end of your run. However, the majority of artifracts add challenging modifiers and make the game more difficult. Or, at the very least, they have heavy downsides. However, there is one artifact that makes a Risk of Rain run much, much easier: The Artifact of Command. Choose your items! The Artifact of Command is quite simple. When you get an item,… [Continue Reading]

The Difficulties in Farming Endo

by
Maroo's Bazaar does have other uses though. You can trade your Ayatan items with her for endo, see what other people are selling and hang out in a pretty cool little relay.

When the new clan affinity system came out, all clans could built an altar and level up their clan. Back then, I was a more fledgling member of my clan, but we had quite a bit of affinity. With everything added up, we were clan level 9. And the altar we’d built would give us endo for reaching that level. From it, I got 45,000 endo. I had never felt richer when it came to the vital mod-upgrading shiny stuff. But the more I thought about it, even back then, the more I realized that farming endo is tough. Early… [Continue Reading]

My Least Favourite Minecraft Enemies

by
Random Mobs from Minecraft

I’ve been playing Minecraft more and more recently, which means there’s lots of zombies to slay. However, since I took a break from Minecraft, there’s a lot of newer features that I’m only vaguely aware of. But despite that, Minecraft is still a very familiar game that’s filled with hostile mobs that want to kill you. Some of these enemies though do annoy me, and I’d be quite happy if they didn’t exist. Drowned While I do appreciate oceans being much more lively now, there is one massive thing that bothers me: Drowned. Drowned are basically underwater zombies. They can… [Continue Reading]

How to Choose the Best Microphone for Gamers

by

When it comes to choosing a microphone, we are going to find very different models in the market in terms of types, polar patterns or acoustic specifications, so before listing what a good microphone should be for streaming we will review what to take into account. Frequency response This characteristic refers to the range of sound that a microphone is capable of picking up. It is measured in hertz and is displayed from low to high frequencies. For a streamer this specification is not as important as for a vocalist, but better to look for those microphones that offer a wide range of frequencies. Impedance… [Continue Reading]

Season of Discovery reminds me of Pre-Seasons Pokemon GO

by
Season of Discovery spawns in windy weather

On June 1st, the Season of Legends ended and the Season of Discovery began. To be honest, the Season of Legends wasn’t that legendary. And the Season of Discovery probably won’t have many discoveries. But something about this new season is odd. Despite being new, it feels old. Why is that? Can’t be the events. The events this June are pretty similar to previous months: constant and hard to keep track of. We’re having a ‘slow’ event soon which will have Slowpoke and similar Pokemon take up 99% of the spawns, and the new Pokemon we want will probably be… [Continue Reading]

More Shinies for Everyone

by
The weird red 12km egg.

I was browsing a Pokemon GO subreddit the other day, and in one thread, someone was bitching about shinies. However, they weren’t complaining because they didn’t have any. The opposite, they were arguing that shinies are way too common in Pokemon GO. According to them, shinies should be a super rare experience and we should have to WORK for them. But what this person seemed to forget is that Pokemon GO isn’t a main series Pokemon game. If anything, collecting shinies is a core part of Pokemon GO. Think about it. We have PvP, yes, but it’s very different from… [Continue Reading]

Five Weirdly Good Subsumed Abilities from your Hungry Helminth

by
I should feel bad about this, but that Valkyr existed for literally a minute before getting 'vored'

Subsuming abilities can be very hit and miss. Most newer Warframes have abilities that work alongside each other, so you can’t really swap an ability out. However, older Warframes have more room to move things around. But the bigger issue is just finding something that synergizes well with your Warframe’s existing abilities. Or perhaps just adding an ability that your Warframe feels like it’s missing. In today’s article, we’ll look at a few subsume-able abilities that can give surprising buffs to your Warframes. The Weird Energy Regeneration – Spectrosiphon Spectrorage Gara isn’t the first frame you think of when it… [Continue Reading]

Gible Community Day

by
A shiny Gible in Pokemon GO

What’s that? A Community Day with a very popular Pokemon? It can’t be! But it is! After months of unusual choices, we have returned to a Pseudo-legendary Pokemon. Gible Community Day! And because we’ve got such a good Pokemon for this Community Day, we all went a bit crazy. The bonuses were x3 catch experience, 3 hour incense and 3 hour lure models. Spawns were plentiful and incense did spawn plenty of Gibles. About half way through, I noticed some other spawns leaking in, like a Rhyhorn, some Whismur from my incense and some Arons (of course). But the spawns… [Continue Reading]

5 Pokemon I Haven’t Seen in Months

by
Pokemon that have been MIA for ages

There are a lot of Pokemon in Pokemon GO. Spanning six generations, it will eventually be the most complete Pokemon game around. Assuming they ever release Kecleon. However, a LOT of Pokemon will go missing over time. Because of events and changing spawns, some Pokemon just don’t get a chance in the spotlight. In fact, some Pokemon just end up disappearing completely, until there’s an event that suits them. Here’s a list of a few Pokemon I genuinely haven’t seen in months. Fossil Pokemon The idea of fossil Pokemon is a weird concept. You have an extinct Pokemon that you… [Continue Reading]
