A Little Ramble About Those 2020 Warframe Stats

by
Excalibur and Warframes speak to Lotus at Tennocon

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to watch Devstream 151 live. I was too busy decorating my dojo! There’s only two rooms left! However, I did however read some of the Devstream highlight threads, and I stumbled across the 2020 stats page. Turns out, DE has uploaded a (trimmed down) version of their usage stats for 2020. And what I saw at the top of those lists wasn’t at all surprising. What interests me the most though is the list of Warframes and how they’re used. You can view the data yourself here. Wukong Prime being most used didn’t surprise me that… [Continue Reading]

Why You Should Use Tether on Your Railjack

by
A Limbo and his Railjack

Modding Railjacks is kinda weird. Rather than having a set of abilities and mods that enhance those abilities, Railjacks go a different route. Instead, you select which ship abilities you want to use, and shove them in the required ability slot. Really, Railjack modding seems kinda complicated at first. But most Railjacks are actually built in pretty much the same way. Not just in normal mods, but in Battle and Tactical Avionics as well. Assuming you have space for them all. To put it simply, there’s not actually enough modding capacity on Railjacks. You can’t fit a fully upgraded mod… [Continue Reading]

A Mediocre Suggestion on Kitguns

by
A Rattleguts Kitgun

Kitguns are build-your own weapons originally sold by Rude Zuud in Fortuna, but also sold by Father on Deimos. The idea is simple: Buy the parts, build them then put them together to make a gun. You can mix and match parts, balancing damage, fire rate, ammo and status/critical chance based on what you use. Different Kitguns can be used in different ways, and can be built both as secondary weapons and primary weapons. But Kitguns tend to eat more resources and need a lot more work compared to normal weapons, so you can’t just build them and use them… [Continue Reading]

Nightwave Intermission 3 is here! How long will it last?

by
Nightwave Intermission 3 Menu

After the slog that was Glassmaker finally ended, we all breathed a sigh of relief. Glassmaker, while being a good idea on the surface, dragged on and consisted of the most annoying content to date. When it finally left at the end of January 2021, Glassmaker had been around for 8 months! While we’re all sick of Nightwave, we still need a way to get Nitain Extract, alternate helmets and Vauban parts. So now we have Nightwave Intermission 3. No story, just tasks. There’s no story behind this intermission. Just like previous intermissions, there’s still a reward path, but no… [Continue Reading]

The Johto Event Has Been the Best of These Region-based Pokemon GO Events

by
Spirits of the Lake being eaten by various bird-like Pokemon.

The last few weeks, we’ve been having run-up events in Pokemon GO. There’s going to be a massive Kanto event in February, and before then, we’ve been celebrating the other regions. These events though have been very hit and miss. Thankfully, the Johto event has probably been the kindest of them all. These events have all been very similar, You have a bunch of Pokemon you need to collect, as well as a new shiny and featured raids and spawns. But these events have not been particularly equal. The Sinnoh and Unova Events were mediocre at best. We’ve been going… [Continue Reading]

WTF Even Are Phantoms

by
Phantoms in a Savanna next to a Creeper

Sometimes I think that maybe I shouldn’t have taken such a long break from Minecraft. I stopped playing at around Minecraft 1.8, and now we’re on Minecraft 1.16. Although I did play Pixelmon for a bit, that wasn’t quite the same as modern Minecraft. Turns out, many, many mods and modded servers use 1.12. And a huge number of larger Minecraft servers actually remain in the past, stuck on 1.12. Namely because that version runs better with lots of concurrent players. Funnily enough, this also coincides with the combat changes in 1.9, but even by 1.8, I was kinda getting… [Continue Reading]

On Not Hunting Down My Last Few Warframe Achievements

by
Warframe's achievements are all pretty doable as well. The only issue is that 25 of them are tied to your Mastery Rank, which makes Warframe pretty hard to get 100% on.

I’ve never really been a fan of hunting down achievements. Most games generally have one or two awkward achievements that take too much effort to get. And I’m a super impatient person. Heck, the ONLY game I have 100% achievements on is Skyrim, and I certainly haven’t done that on the newer 64bit version. Once is enough, thanks. But weirdly enough, I’m actually missing a large chunk of Warframe achievements. Sure, I have the True Master achievement, but there are plenty I don’t have. Some of these are quite a pain in the butt, but others I don’t have because… [Continue Reading]

Sneasel Research Day

by
Two Sneasels trying to look cool in an icy biome

I honestly think these Pokemon GO research days are improving. Research days were originally a massive slog, which made people run around town for little reward. However, with each new research day, they seem to be improving on the formula. Sneasel Research Day, in my opinion, is one of the better ones yet. And of course, it can be played from now. Great for multiple reasons, mostly because we’ve had torrential downpours all day. Sneasel is a really good choice for a Pokemon. We’ve got a really strong ice type and a good contender when it comes to dark types.… [Continue Reading]

5 Other Cool Warframe Melee Weapons You Should Try

by
The Vitrica, wielded by a Wisp while in the Cephalon Weave

There are tons of cool weapons in Warframe, but none are as varied as melee weapons. From massive swords to petite daggers, there’s something for everyone. But even among melee weapons, there are plenty of even cooler ones. Melee gimmicks that help a weapon stand out from the crowd. Here are 5 other cool melee weapons you should try in Warframe. Vitrica The Vitrica is a badass glass sword, once wielded by an ancient Orokin bastard. After defeating said Orokin bastard in the Weave, the Cephalon version of the internet, you obtain the blueprint for this cool weapon. While it… [Continue Reading]

Despawning Pokemon and Useless Pokemon Radars

by
Community Day Exclusive Pokemon You Should Evolve

Just now, I managed to catch a wild 100% Beldum. The only reason I saw it was because of GPS drift. Due to brief inaccuracies, my character in Pokemon GO wandered slightly to the south, revealing a handful of Pokemon I can’t normally see. Among these was the 100% Beldum in question, which I immediately caught because, hey, wild Beldum. Unfortunately, in the 60 seconds it took for me to 1. tell my brother it was there, 2. grab my facemask and 3. head outside to grab it for him and his baby account… Well, it despawned. I basically saved… [Continue Reading]
