A Yellow Panic Attack

September 15, 2020September 8, 2020 Medic 1 Comment imagination, ramble, what the fuck are you on Medic and can I have some?

A while back, aabicus had a chat about what drove his imagination as a kid. It seems that both him and I had pretty wild imaginations as kids. Aabicus’s world though was pretty damn consistent. He had a fully fledged out lore for everyone and everything. In fact, some of his work ended up being used later on in life, as placeholders for characters in games. But while aabicus’s imagination was one of soldiers and secret missions, my childhood imagination was… uh… a bit more complicated. I’ve often attributed my crazy, volatile imagination to a lot of things. The most… [Continue Reading]

Covert Lethality – The Deadly Mod that Died a Horrible Death

September 7, 2020August 31, 2020 Medic 2 Comments finisher, mod, nerf, ramble, rant, warframe

Warframe isn’t really known for having scaling damage. Sure, there are abilities that scale to high levels in various ways. Some abilities, like Octavia’s Mallet, scale based on enemy damage, making them valuable for long survival missions. But most Warframes have some sort of limit. In fact, most frames lack endurance. But what if there was an item that could provide a way to kill any enemies, regardless of level? For a while, there was such a way to do just that. It was called Covert Lethality. Covert Lethality was a mod that could only be used on single Daggers.… [Continue Reading]

On Raiding and Pillaging Other People’s Bases

September 2, 2020August 27, 2020 Medic 0 Comments loot, looting, minecraft, multiplayer, ramble

A Minecraft server I play on is announcing that they’re wiping everything and having a fresh start. The catch is that you can transfer your items to the new server. There will also be two new, fresh servers, where everyone will start from scratch. But basically, we have a limited amount of time to strip everything down and move it to the ‘legacy’ server, before the six existing mini-servers all get nuked. The server owners have set up various processes and a timeline, so people know what they can do. Money and items can be ported over, no problem, albeit… [Continue Reading]

Retvik’s Thoughts on the Roar Pre-Nerf

August 23, 2020August 21, 2020 Medic 0 Comments helminth, nerf, ramble, rant, rhino, warframe

As part of some desperate attempt to not break Warframe completely, some subsumed abilities will be nerfed. What does this mean? This means that, when the Helminth system comes out, some abilities won’t be identical. For example, Roar won’t have the same strength on other frames as it does Rhino. It’s only a handful of abilities, but it’s caused an uproar (no pun intended) in the Warframe community. Why? I don’t really know. But honestly, as a person with a blog, I really don’t know what the big deal is. Seriously, take a moment to stop and think about this.… [Continue Reading]

A Casual Player’s Ramble About How Mega Pokemon Won’t Be As Game-Breaking As We All Think

August 11, 2020August 5, 2020 Medic 0 Comments mega evolution, meta, pokemon go, ramble

Mega Pokemon have been confirmed for Pokemon Go for 2020, but we don’t know much about them. We don’t know how we’ll obtain Mega Pokemon or trigger their special evolutions or anything. All we know is that Mega Evolutions are coming “soon”. But, considering how powerful Mega Pokemon are in the main games, players worry that Mega Pokemon will get in the way of everything. That they’ll be game-breaking in some way. Honestly, I don’t think that’s going to happen. In the main games, these Pokemon are monsters. Mega Pokemon are insanely strong in normal Pokemon games. I mean, it’s… [Continue Reading]

Just Swear Already, Warframe

August 10, 2020August 4, 2020 Medic 0 Comments ramble, swearing, warframe

During the TennoLive 2020 Devstream, we watched an introduction to Mother, one of the Orokin-Infested hybrid beings that lives on Deimos. She’s basically the Eudico or Konzu of the new Infested open world. As we listen to her speak, she is about to very loudly curse as she realises something is wrong. But we don’t hear the full word, because Mother gets cut off. By a robot, who interrupts, shouting “Functional!” What I don’t understand though is… why? Why can’t Mother just say “fuck”? In fact, why can’t any NPCs in Warframe really curse much? Some words are worse than… [Continue Reading]

The Hidden Gems and Tedious Slogs of the Steel Path

July 22, 2020July 22, 2020 Medic 0 Comments ramble, steel path, warframe

Some point late at night on July 21st, I finally finished the Steel Path. My last node was nothing special. A defense mission in the Void. The only remarkable thing was that 1. I was playing Limbo and 2. I wasn’t completely solo. The Steel Path hasn’t been particularly fun for me, as I’ve had to do most of it solo and found that my normal builds are woefully inadequate. I’m glad it’s over, but I feel I have a lot to talk about. Rather than go through the entire star chart though, I’m just going to mention the highs… [Continue Reading]

Now for Something Completely Different

There Are Always Idiots In Every Group. Always.

July 17, 2020July 12, 2020 Medic 0 Comments ramble, random

I was browsing imgur the other day when one of the front page posts was talking about being wrong about climate change. The post, a screenshot off of Tumblr, stated that there would be no real consequences if we turned out to be wrong about climate change and would still be making the world a better place. There were a few arguments in the comments, mostly about “well it’s all China/India’s fault!” and “the corporations do most of it!”. There were even some retards who commented that “more CO2 is good because plants need it!”, not knowing that carbon dioxide… [Continue Reading]

Why I Am Bad At Making Videos

June 17, 2020June 11, 2020 Medic 0 Comments ramble, random, spuf of legend, video

I bet some of you have probably forgotten about our Youtube channel, right? The SPUF of Legend was created years ago by aabicus, as part of our 1000 Articles celebration. That was way back in 2016! Feels like a century ago, if I’m honest. But anyway, aabicus wanted to make a Youtube channel and we’d end up posting video articles on there. Except we never really got into the swing of things. It turns out, publishing a 500-word article every day is far, far easier than publishing a video of any length every week. As we get closer to 3000… [Continue Reading]

What if I Had Picked Excalibur or Mag as my Starter Frame?

June 10, 2020June 4, 2020 Medic 0 Comments ramble, starter frame, warframe, what if?

We all know me as that annoyingly yellow Volt. Half the pictures of Warframe include a very specific Volt Prime with yellow as its main colour and blue metallic bits. I was actually lucky and was mostly given Volt Prime early on, back when he was a cheap frame. But even now, I still use both Volt Prime and normal Volt. Somehow, just somehow, Volt does everything I want to do in a single Warframe. But what if I had picked a different starter frame? Would I still be here today? Let’s look at both alternatives, one at a time.… [Continue Reading]
