Done with Duviri

by
Drifter with Sun and Moon, dual Katanas

I don’t know why, but Duviri doesn’t sit right with me. It feels weirdly disconnected. And I feel like I’m done with it. I don’t want to do anything Duviri-related any more. It’s cool and all, but I really just don’t enjoy it. A lot of what I don’t enjoy comes from the combat. I very much dislike the melee combat. It feels like an attempt to try a vaguely Dark Souls-like sort of combat but it feels disjointed, and there’s simply too much to do. You generally have too many enemies coming at you at once, so you don’t… [Continue Reading]

A Ramble About Updating Things

by
A familiar Yellow Volt falling off his K-Drive

Everything these days seems to need updating. It’s rare that something will just go on working without any sort of outside influence, at least online. And since everything is online now, it’s easier to update things. But frankly, updates for the things I regularly use have been pissing me off lately. Recently, I got a notification to update the theme we use here on the Daily SPUF. It’s a pretty simple thing, nothing unusual. Unfortunately though, an update to the theme actually kinda broke the website. For some reason, the menu was broken and massive icons filled the screen. I… [Continue Reading]

What’s Left of the Narmer?

by
An angry Archon

During the New War, a new faction is introduced, the Narmer. The Narmer are essentially a cult forced on the origin system, kept in line via Narmer Veils, the horrible helmets that both control you and delude you into thinking that your lost loved ones are still with you. The Narmer Veils produce hallucinations that keep you in line, and pretty much all Narmer wear them, making them loyal to to both the Sentients and Ballas, an Orokin executor and one of the few remaining Orokin left alive. At least, until the end of the New War. However, although Ballas… [Continue Reading]

Poliwag Community Day

Poliwag community day

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t exactly excited with this one. Poliwag isn’t the most popular Pokemon, and we recently had a water-type Pokemon for a previous community day – twice. In fact, I nearly forgot it was happening, and a lot of my friends weren’t interested either, some of which already had multiple Poliwag shinies. But I played a little anyway, and it was alright. A bit hot Here in Cyprus, it’s quite hot, especially at 2pm. Even with a bit of shade, I only played for about an hour. However, in that time, I managed to get five shinies,… [Continue Reading]

Hellsing Ultimate Abridged

by
Hellsing Abridged Logo

I’m not a huge fan of anime. Partly because I don’t really know where to watch it, but also because there’s a lot of anime genres that I don’t particularly like. Also I have a short attention span and don’t really like watching tons and tons of episodes. I don’t particularly watch western cartoons either. As a kid, I did watch things like Dragonball Z, which I have mentioned in the past, but after the age of twelve, I kinda stopped watching cartoons at all, instead only catching snippets of badly dubbed episodes of Pokemon. But now I’m older and… [Continue Reading]

The Value of a Pinap

by
A pineapple, which is basically what a pinap berry is.

The Pinap Berry is probably the second most used berry, after wasting hundreds of golden Razz berries trying to catch legendary Pokemon. The Pinap is a humble berry, as it doubles the amount of candy you get from a Pokemon. Feed it to a Pokemon and it will literally shit out extra candy, assuming you catch it. It’s an insanely useful berry that gets used all the time and has an obvious reward. But the actual value of a Pinap berry seems kinda weird. Looking at it money-wise, the real world value is hard to calculate. Pinaps are stupidly rare… [Continue Reading]

The 5 Most-Impactful Steam Trades in My Life

by

There’s something kinda nice about having all my years of gaming stored on Steam. For people like me who got into the scene late, I can pretty much track my entire life through my Steam history, traipse through old screenshots and reviews to see what I was into during those phases of my life. But at least personally, the tab with the most nostalgia is somewhat hidden away in a dusty corner of the inventory screen. Expanding the dropbar near “Trade Offers” lets you see an itemized list of everything you’ve ever done to alter your inventory across Steam’s many… [Continue Reading]

The Problem With The Blazing Trails Event

by
Pokemon spawning in the middle of a desert

The Blazing Trails event ended on the 23rd, marking the end of probably one of the worst events in Pokemon GO for a long time. In this event, most players couldn’t even take part. The Blazing Trails event was supposed to introduce a new mechanic. But that mechanic didn’t even work. The new mechanic is the Route. Routes are player-made paths that you can follow, which give some sort of reward at the end and have Pokemon spawn among said routes. At least, that’s what’s supposed to happen. Many players found that following routes was tedious and were prone to… [Continue Reading]

What Even Is The Man In The Wall

by
Deimos on the Star Chart

Ever since Chains of Harrow, there’s been something lurking in the shadows, both there and not there. With the death of Rell, we have become susceptible to what is generally known as The Man In The Wall. Or Wally for short. This mysterious entity has been silently watching us, nudging us in various directions and often toying with us. The Man In The Wall is an enigmatic entity that no one really knows what it is. The first time we encounter The Man In The Wall is right at the end of The War Within. While he’s not mentioned throughout… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon That Are Hard To Transfer

by

In Pokemon GO, you have rather limited storage space. A new player generally has enough space for 300 Pokemon and items. But there are a lot of Pokemon to collect. The default space allows for all of Gen 1 and Gen 2 to be collected, but most of the time, the Pokemon you pick up aren’t very good and often quickly get transferred. However, there are plenty of Pokemon which are a bit more valuable, and are much harder to transfer. As you play, you collect more and more Pokemon. While it’s easy to transfer any Pokemon with low stats,… [Continue Reading]
