On Getting the Gold Curse

March 28, 2024March 22, 2024 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, gold curse, sea of thieves, stain of greed, tall tales

Curses in the Sea of Thieves are always hard to obtain. Apart from the Order of Souls Curse. That kinda only requires you to do one easy Tall Tale. The Ashen Curse isn’t much harder, although it does require you to do three different obstacle courses and repeat a timed escape thingy three times. However, there are three curses that are genuinely a pain in the ass to get. The Ghost and Skeleton Curses are rewards for reaching level 100 in the two PvP factions, but, if you are patient, you can slowly earn these without winning a single match.… [Continue Reading]

Little Quality of Life Things I want in Sea of Thieves

December 7, 2023November 25, 2023 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, quality of life, sea of thieves

Sea of Thieves actually has a lot of decent accessibility features. You can use text to speech, have subtitles and turn on a lot of useful little things, like holding or tapping to interact with objects. However, there’s always a few little things that I feel like Sea of Thieves needs, that are more gameplay-orientated. Markers for skeleton ship loot Skeleton and ghost fleets are both world events, and when you kill a ghost ship, you get a couple of wraiths circling where the loot drops. When you defeat a skeleton ship though, that loot just bobs up and down… [Continue Reading]

A Lack of Pirate Clothing

October 11, 2023September 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments clothes, cosmetics, pirate, sea of thieves

One of the main goals in the Sea of Thieves is to make your pirate look good. If you visit the shops on any outpost, most of them are selling cosmetics for you to buy. Some are premium, some aren’t. But there are a lot of cool things to buy, to make your pirate look cooler. There’s something odd about all of this though. There’s a bit of a lack of, well, clothing for pirates. Admittedly, there are plenty of pirate captain clothes. If you want to look like a pirate captain, then you can buy all sorts of jackets… [Continue Reading]

On my experiences with SFM

September 2, 2023August 22, 2023 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments cosmetics, SFM, Team Fortress 2

Recently I got a request for the files of one of my SFM works that I used as a banner art for an old TF2 article. Unfortunately my laptop broke days before the request, so I lost all my SFM files and high-res renders of my old works. That surprisingly left me feeling a bit sad and empty, despite me not even remembering their existence for literal years. I can’t turn back time or have my old laptop magically fix itself though, so instead of crying over spilt milk I am simply going to talk about how good it used… [Continue Reading]

My Favourite Armour Sets in Warframe

August 10, 2023July 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments armour, cosmetics, warframe

Warframe has so many cosmetics. From colour palettes to syandanas to armour to what are essentially unusual effects, there is a lot of choice to be had. Armour in particular does a lot to alter the silhouette of any Warframe, but again, there are so many choices. Here are my five favourite armour sets Saturn Six armour I adore the Saturn Six armour. It fits nicely on male frames, giving them a nice, round shape while also actually looking like armour that might protect you. The colour channels match a lot of skins as well, making the Saturn Six armour… [Continue Reading]

Warframe Cosmetics You Can Get For Free

July 15, 2023July 6, 2023 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, fashionframe, free, warframe

The end game of Warframe is generally considered to be FashionFrame, the dressing up and customizing of your Warframe. Considering how varied cosmetics are, you’d think that FashionFrame is actually very expensive. While, yes, some cosmetics do cost a small fortune, you can however manage to dress yourself up for free, spending time and effort rather than just buying things. Here’s a list of free cosmetics you can get, where you don’t need to pay a real-life penny at all. Colour palettes Throughout the year, there are actually multiple free colour palettes you can obtain. For St. Patrick’s Day, Easter,… [Continue Reading]

My Thoughts on Cosmetic Shops in non F2P games

December 6, 2022November 27, 2022 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, f2p, microtransactions, shop

These days, cosmetic shops in our video games is kinda common. Generally, a game will have some sort of shop where you can buy items for real world money, or some currency you buy with real money. And there’s often a season pass as well, that gives you cosmetics too. However, are these cosmetic shops a good thing or a bad thing? In multiplayer games, cosmetics can go a long way After all, everyone wants to look unique. Allowing people to customize their characters and all that is big business, and people are also willing to spend money to look… [Continue Reading]

A Pirate Game With Not Many Pirate Clothes

December 3, 2022April 12, 2023 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, pirate, sea of thieves

There’s something odd about Sea of Thieves and its cosmetics. A huge part of the game is to go on adventures and quests, getting rich and doing pirate-y things. All of this gets you plenty of gold, which you can then spend on cosmetics. And, bloody hell, there are a LOT of cosmetics. Not just clothing, there are skins and sets for all your tools, weapons and companions as well. But we are lacking in normal pirate gear. You know, the striped shirts, the bandanas, the more basic clothes. What you’d see in kids TV shows. There are some pieces… [Continue Reading]

Let Me Put Shaders On Everything in Destiny 2

June 4, 2022May 30, 2022 Medic 0 Comments colour, cosmetics, destiny 2, shaders

Destiny 2’s cosmetic system is pretty alright. It’s slowly improved over the years, but with transmogifying armour pieces, we can really make cool looks for ourselves. And we finally don’t have to turn legendary shards into individual colour shaders now. The original implementation of cosmetics in Destiny 2 were insane. These days though, even F2Players can at the very least make themselves look alright. However, like all cosmetics, we can go further and deeper. The technology is there, we just need to believe. Shaders for everything Admittedly, there isn’t much left in Destiny 2 that you can use a… [Continue Reading]

Voidshell Skins are Neat

May 8, 2022April 30, 2022 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, fashionframe, skin, texture, warframe

One of the newer and fancier parts of the Angels of the Zariman update is the introduction of Voidshell skins. These skins are brand new and work rather differently compared to other skins. It’s all part of a new customization system, but is currently being tested, so there are only a few skins available. We got three Warframes and a set of armour for Drifter and Operator. But how do they work? Choosing Textures With the new Voidshell skins, you actually get to pick a texture as well as a colour. There are a good number of textures available, ranging… [Continue Reading]
