Ranking Exalted Weapons – Warframe’s Best and Worst Exalted Weaponry

by
Excalibur Umbra, standing proud

Exalted weapons are awesome. The ability to suddenly summon a weapon of death out of thin air is just so cool. Even if you’re already armed with an explosive bow, the badassery of summoning another bow is too cool to pass up. But there are lots of exalted weapons, and they’re all definitely not equal. In today’s article, I’m going to rank all twelve exalted weapons. Note: this is mostly based on personal opinion. You can get HUGE damage numbers on all of these. In fact, properly modded, these are all insane. But I like to consider usability and coolness… [Continue Reading]

The Importance of Ranking Up Serration and Hornet Strike and why you are probably dealing no damage in Warframe

by
A Blade of Excaliburs

The other day, I was browsing through Region Chat when I saw a message. Someone wanted help with a particular mission. I looked up the mission in question, Carpo on Jupiter. At first, I though it was either the spy or rescue missions. Jupiter’s new-ness makes it so these missions are harder than they should be compared to previous planets. But no, Carpo is an exterminate. Of course, I offered to help. This was a MR5 Rhino after all, and Jupiter is a hard planet. After we finished the mission, I asked him to show me his mod config for… [Continue Reading]

A Mareep Incense Event

by
Mareeps in a field

Incense events are weird. All the spawns around you stay the same. In fact, the only difference is that Incense spawns different Pokemon, sometimes changing what spawns based on what time it is. There’s no research to go alongside the incense, it’s just throw the incense on and hope you catch a shiny. This Mareep event is no different. In this event, we get electric spawns and dragon spawns. Because Mareep’s final evolution, Ampharos, has appeared in Mega Raids. And Mega Ampharos is an electric/dragon type. As part of this Incense event, you can evolve a Flaafy into an Ampharos… [Continue Reading]

WTF Even is a Ghast?

by
A Ghast in the Nether

So, the Minecraft Nether update was pretty awesome. What was once an otherwise really boring hell hole is now a flourishing hellscape. We got a bunch of new biomes, new mobs and all sorts! In fact, the modern Nether is so cool that you can very nearly survive completely in it. There are now places to obtain cobble and wood-like items, allowing one to survive nearly indefinitely in the Nether. On top of that, we got some absolutely gorgeous building blocks and light sources, which Medicinal Warlock talked about last August. But there’s something about the Nether that still feels… [Continue Reading]

The 5 Worst Buddies in Pokemon GO

by
Medic rolls his eyes at a massive Kyogre

I’ve always enjoyed the buddy feature in Pokemon Go. It’s basically an overly simplified Tamagotchi. A small pet that you feed berries to and it occasionally helps you out. Getting a Pokemont to Best Buddies is a long commitment. It takes around a month to do if you take the time to walk a Pokemon 6km every day. The benefits are rather hit and miss, with random daily gifts, helping you catch Pokemon and, at best Buddies, gaining an extra level. But not every Pokemon makes for a good buddy. Some Pokemon aren’t worth leveling up to Best Buddies at… [Continue Reading]

On Glass Fish and Cat Statues

A Thousand-Year Fish hidden on a Sentient corpse

Ever since getting that John Prodman poster, I’ve been considering doing the little things I never got around to. Sure, I’m Mastery Rank 30, but I’ve never played a game of Conclave. Nor have I maxed out a Focus tree or made a really overpowered Kitgun. And I never got around to finishing the Somachord collection. Or collecting Kurias and Thousand-Year Fish. Those last three are less about actual Warframe things and more about finding and scanning tiny little objects. And, despite being rather similar, they’re all a pain in the ass to find. There’s actually a myriad of small,… [Continue Reading]

You Should Totally Start Playing A Rhythm Game Right Now

by

Dance Dance Revolution is a lifestyle. Every day, thousands of grown adults spend their evenings stepping in time to J-Pop and Touhou Music. And I’m one of them. The childlike excitement of spending a few hours per week at an arcade has become my anchor to socialization in an era where nothing fun is happening. A Global Pandemic, Turbulent Domestic Politics, and few aspirations beyond survival have hollowed the resolve of many adults my age. Things have soured so much, I’ve had to learn new words to describe it all. Doomscrolling is among my favorites, slang that describes the Social… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon GO’s Useful Tag System That I Don’t Use

by
Three tags made in Pokemon GO - one for raids, one for Team Rocket and one for fun

The ability to better organize Pokemon has been a much-requested feature in Pokemon GO. With no such thing as boxes or PCs, your Pokemon are displayed in one big list. While this works fine with small groups of Pokemon, when you have over 1000 Pokemon available, things get iffy. A top-range phone can deal with this fine, but older phones can experience slowdown. Just scrolling through your Pokemon can be a little too tedious. Luckily, last year, we got some QOL features to help with organization. Some of these are more useful than others. There’s two features I want to… [Continue Reading]

“Oh God I’m So Sick of Politics!”

Cat Image by KatinkavomWolfenmond from Pixabay

I’ve been sad and down the last few days, mostly by my own self-induced reasons. When I’m feeling down, I find myself avoiding Facebook and photos of everyone’s seemingly happier lives. I also tend to avoid Twitter like the plague. But I do often find myself browsing Imgur, looking for amusing cat pictures. Or I’ll browse Reddit for a bit. However, I’ve noticed that, even within the more organized categories of Reddit, two things have been seeping through. The first is people talking about politics, particularly USA politics. The second is people complaining about people talking about politics. “But my… [Continue Reading]

The Green Dot of SEO Goodness

by
Off to do a capture mission!

Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is a complicated mess. If you want to stay at the top of your game, you need to hyper-optimize everything. You need the perfect keywords, you need to fulfill all of Google’s ever-changing criteria and more. Actually good SEO can genuinely cost you hundreds or even thousands. Not just in advertising and adwords, but also manpower and upkeep. Not only are you fighting Google and search engines to be seen, but you’re also fighting literally every other website on the internet. It’s a huge amount of work, for very slow results. However, when it comes… [Continue Reading]
