The Curse Of Looking for Raids

November 9, 2023October 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments lugia, pokemon go, raid, shadow

I swear, every time I go out looking for raids, I can’t find any. But when I don’t want to do raids, there are plenty of them. The other day, I went out to play Pokemon GO with my brother, and we simply couldn’t find any raids. We tend to go out to do raids semi regularly, since we both play together. As of late, thanks to the Master Ball research, we’ve wanted to do more raids, thanks to the Win 60 Raids task in the timed research. While I managed to complete the research thanks to my location, my… [Continue Reading]

Finding My Old 94% Saints Row 3 Save

November 8, 2023October 28, 2023 Medic 0 Comments Saints Row, saints row 2, saints row 3

Lately, I’ve wanted to play something new but familiar. And preferably with low graphics so I can play with a decent framerate. I browsed through my game library and noticed that I hadn’t played any of the Saints Row games in a while. The last time I tried anything like that, I found myself playing Agents of Mayhem, and I very much ended up giving up on it. The game just wasn’t enjoyable to me, and wasn’t really Saints-Row-y enough. I’ve had similar problems with the Saints Row games, but something drew me into reinstalling Saints Row 2 and 3.… [Continue Reading]

How I’d Improve Shadow Raids in Pokemon GO

November 7, 2023October 27, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, shadow raids

Shadow Raids are exactly that: raids but with Shadow Pokemon. These raids vary between being very hard to very difficult, especially if you do Shadow Legendary Raids. However, I think these raids, which are often ignored, could be improved. Here’s how I’d do it. Stop making them angrier When you do a Shadow Raid, if it’s a level 3 or level 5 raid, then the Pokemon you’re raiding against gets enraged. This means they do more damage and they also take less damage. There are two ways to subdue a Pokemon that’s enraged. You either throw purification gems at the… [Continue Reading]

Wooper Community Day

November 6, 2023November 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments community day, paldea, pokemon go, wooper

Wooper is a cute Pokemon, and it was made even cuter when Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came out, as it got a regional form which was also very cute. So when it got a community day, I was excited to get not just one, but two cute, cool shinies. For this community day, we got not just normal Wooper, but we also got the release of Paldean Wooper, and its evolution Clodsire. The bonuses for this event were 1/4 hatch distance and x2 candy on catching Pokemon. These didn’t feel that useful, mostly because Wooper has never been a rare… [Continue Reading]

Reaper’s Bones – Lore versus Gameplay

November 5, 2023October 25, 2023 Medic 0 Comments lore, reapers, sea of thieves

Throughout the history of Sea of Thieves, there’s been an obvious bad guy behind it all. Captain Flameheart is a ruthless pirate, infused with various dark magics, who wants to violently take over the Sea of Thieves and become its king. Flameheart is a vile and vicious monster who will happily kill anyone in his path in order to complete his plan. For a long time though, Flameheart was kinda dead, and acted via proxies and loyal servants, particularly the Ashen Lords. In the current timeline in the game though, thanks to an adventure where we had to collect mystic… [Continue Reading]

On Shadows and IVs

November 4, 2023October 24, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, shadow

So we just had a Team Rocket Takeover event, and it was pretty damn good. It was also part of a Halloween event, but, frankly, with the new shadow Pokemon we got, it was like Christmas for anyone who is into doing raids. We got four new shadow Pokemon that are either the best or among the best when it comes to DPS. The Pokemon we got are genuinely great. Shadow Rampardos and Shadow Gengar are the glassiest of cannons, but when they do manage to get their damage off, they absolutely destroy. Unfortunately, that might not always be possible,… [Continue Reading]

Now for Something Completely Different

November Blues

November 3, 2023October 24, 2023 Medic 0 Comments ramble, random, rant

I don’t like November. It’s not a fun month. Personally, it’s not the worst month of the year (that award goes to the awful hell that is September), but I’d definitely rate November as one of the worst months of the year. It’s just… so bleh as a month. A lot of it is the weather. Although, thanks to man-made climate change, November is a less awkward month when it comes to weather, it just doesn’t compare to previous months. October is the start of autumn and is when things start cooling down, but there’s still some warmth to the… [Continue Reading]

If Sea of Thieves Had Blood

November 2, 2023October 22, 2023 Medic 0 Comments blood, sea of thieves, violence

Sea of Thieves is a completely bloodless game. Despite the amount of murder that goes on, there is not a single drop of blood to be seen. Ghosts explode into green clouds, skeletons disintegrate into bone dust and human pirates keel over and slowly fade away, rather than ragdolling on death, their souls slowly floating upwards. You can kill sharks, snakes, pigs and chickens for food and they disappear into puffs of smoke, while megalodons and krakens screech in agony before sinking beneath the waves. There’s no blood what so ever. Probably the closest thing to blood is either some… [Continue Reading]

Hatching Eggs Sucks

November 1, 2023October 21, 2023 Medic 0 Comments eggs, incubators, pokemon go

Hatching eggs in Pokemon GO is a tedious thing. You spend ages walking around and an egg hatches and, most of the time, it’s nothing good. The last ten eggs I’ve hatched have all given me nothing good. But let’s look deeper into why eggs suck so much. Basically, to put things into TF2 terms, eggs are crates, and incubators are keys. While you do get one free and infinite incubator, having just the one makes hatching eggs take a long time. It requires a lot of walking to hatch one egg, with the longer it needs to walk, the… [Continue Reading]

The Abyssal Zone is not Scary

October 31, 2023October 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments abyss of dagath, exterminate, warframe

Abyss of Dagath has been a massive update, and there’s plenty of stuff I want to write about. And I will be writing a lot about the update in the next few days. But there’s one thing bothering me. There is a new material required in order to build the new Warframe, Dagath, but th mission required to obtain it is kinda weird. It’s called the Abyssal Zone and I want to talk about it. So, basically, the Abyssal Zone is an Exterminate with Orokin Vault-like debuffs. The mission starts off as an ordinary Exterminate mission in a slightly darkened… [Continue Reading]
