The Terror That Is Shadow Kyogre

February 7, 2024January 29, 2024 Medic 0 Comments kyogre, legendary pokemon, pokemon go, shadow pokemon

Generally, Team Rocket bosses are pretty easy. Even with this season’s Team Rocket grunts having way more Pokemon than they used to, as long as you have Pokemon that counter their types, most Grunts are easily defeated. There’s even a new feature where the game will show you what types are super effective against whatever grunt it is you are trying to fight. Heck, for most grunts, you can just take a Pokemon with a spammy move like Lucario with Power Up Punch or Melmetal with Rock Slide and just spam charge attacks while the enemy can’t fight back. Team… [Continue Reading]

On Maining The Most-Used Warframe

February 6, 2024January 28, 2024 Medic 0 Comments volt, warframe

With 2023’s Warframe stats coming out during the last Dev Stream, it turns out, when you combine Primed Warframes and normal Warframes, Volt is the most-used Warframe. The stats can be seen here, and show Warframe usage based on all Mastery Ranks and over different ranks. At 7% usage (4% for Volt Prime and 3% for normal Volt), Volt edges out the starter frame and poster boy Excalibur, in spite of the fact that you get Excalibur Umbra at max rank for doing a rather simple story quest. At the same time, when looking at individual frames, there are only… [Continue Reading]

Chansey Community Day

February 5, 2024February 4, 2024 Medic 0 Comments chansey, community day, pokemon go

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to Chansey Community Day. I already had a bunch of shiny Chansey, Blissey’s shiny is the worst and since my egg space is full of 10 and 12km eggs, I didn’t expect to get a shiny Happiny (and I didn’t). Out of all the Pokemon we could have had for a Community Day, Chansey was so low down the list that I would have preferred Pikachu again. I get that maybe Niantic wanted something pink for February, to go with the Valentines Day event that they always do, but not only is Valentines… [Continue Reading]

The Problem With Dragon Events in Pokemon GO

February 4, 2024January 26, 2024 Medic 0 Comments dragons, pokemon go

So coming up this week is a Lunar New Year event in Pokemon GO. This year, 2024, is the year of the dragon. And, like every year, Pokemon GO has set up an event where the zodiac animal of choice is the one that’s spawning. Except, well, this year, we’re getting a lot of, well, not dragons. Actually, that being said, there are at least three dragons spawning in this event. Dratini ALWAYS seems to spawn in dragon events, but we’re also getting Noibat and Jangmo-o. The other Pokemon though, which will almost certainly be more common, are Magikarp, Shuckle,… [Continue Reading]

Stupidly Hard To Get Pokemon That Are Also Kinda Useless in Pokemon GO

February 3, 2024January 25, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

There are a lot of rare Pokemon in Pokemon GO, but just because something is rare, that doesn’t mean it’s good. Here are some stupidly rare, hard to get Pokemon that just aren’t worth the effort. Salazzle I really like Salazzle. It was what carried me in Pokemon Shield, and I have one on my team in Pokemon Violet as well. It’s actually not the easiest Pokemon to obtain in general though, because you need to get a female Salandit to evolve it into a Salazzle, and only 12.5% of Salandit are female. In Pokemon GO, this is even harder… [Continue Reading]

Now for Something Completely Different

On Writing About Shapeshifters

February 2, 2024January 24, 2024 Medic 0 Comments ramble, shapeshifting

Shapeshifting is probably one of the most overpowered super powers. You can be pretty much anyone, do pretty much anything and also access a wide array of other powers, based on how that shapeshifting works. That being said, I don’t see shapeshifting much in video games. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any popular games where you play as some kind of shapeshifter. The one exception for this is various classes in games like World of Warcraft, but even then, the shapeshifting is limited. Despite that, there is one place where I’ve seen lots of shapeshifting,… [Continue Reading]

Good Luck Getting Dusk Form Rockruff

February 1, 2024January 23, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, rockruff

Did you know that you can now get Dusk Form Rockruff? No? Well it was released rather unceremoniously during an event which kinda had nothing to do with Rockruff. All the event spawns didn’t seem to fit. Like, why was Gastly spawning, and why was it the only Pokemon that seemed to be spawning in obvious numbers? In reality, the event was an egg-hatching event, but without any sort of discount on incubators or a reduced hatching distance. Dusk Form Rockruff was introduced kinda at a whim. It had a chance to appear in event eggs, event research and raids,… [Continue Reading]

What To Do If You’re Attacked On the Sea of Thieves

January 31, 2024January 21, 2024 Medic 0 Comments combat, sea of thieves

So you’re sitting there, quite happily emptying a vault after successfully finding a key. But oh no, there’s a ship on the horizon! What do you do? Well, unfortunately, you’re probably in trouble. Sure, you can try and talk your way out of a situation, but if a pirate wants blood, they’ll get it. So here are some handy common knowledge tips, in order to try and save yourself. I’d actually recommend against running, at least not for hours. If someone is coming to attack you, they’ll just keep on coming. I’ve been on both sides of the chase, and… [Continue Reading]

On The Abandoned Mess That Is Railjack

January 30, 2024January 22, 2024 Medic 0 Comments railjack, warframe

When Railjack originally came out, it was buggy and difficult, but it was interesting. Once the bugs were cleared up (mostly things like getting stuck between missions and rewards not being rewarded), the experience was great. Railjack was genuinely challenging, and required strong teamwork in order to not get completely torn apart. The Intrinsics system was grindy, the whole process of building a Railjack was very expensive and there wasn’t really any reward for any of it apart from Mastery, but it was new and exciting and different. Over time though, the excitement died down. But at the same time,… [Continue Reading]

The Entrati Labs Are A Better Zariman

January 29, 2024January 20, 2024 Medic 0 Comments cavia, entrati labs, holdfasts, warframe, zariman

The more I think about it, the more I can’t help but shake this feeling. The Zariman is an alright place to be, but the Entrati Labs are so much cooler. It’s as if they took what made the Zariman interesting and upped it repeatedly. While the Zariman does look cool, it is mostly just ruined and destroyed. On the flip side, the Entrati Labs are basically two locations in one, a weird Orokin Frankenstein laboratory where massive body parts are being made, combined with the creepy, open air areas of Indifference. On top of that, the Entrati Labs are… [Continue Reading]
