A Ramble About Sandwiches

October 6, 2022September 28, 2022 Medic 0 Comments food, ramble, random, sandvich, sandwich

I have a funny relationship with sandwiches. Sometimes I love them, sometimes I hate them. I don’t know why, but sandwiches are very hit or miss with me. Recently, I went right off sandwiches, but the other day, I made myself one and it was nice. I then wondered why I had been holding back on sandwich and overall bread consumption. Right now though, I really want a sandwich. So, uh, let’s talk sandwiches. It’s the bread The thing that often turns me away from sandwiches is honestly the main component. The bread. There are tons of different breads to… [Continue Reading]

Just Some More Cool Small Youtube Channels that I’d Like to Recommend

September 29, 2022September 21, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ramble, recommendation, youtube

A while back, due to writers’ block, I recommended a bunch of Youtube channels. The idea was to showcase smaller channels because, frankly, my recommendation feed from Youtube is too busy. Youtube always wants to recommend channels with huge numbers of viewers. Sometimes though, a smaller channel will slip through. And sometimes these channels catch my eye. Learning Curve The first channel I’d like to recommend is Learning Curve. On this channel, we are treated to various interesting science topics, such as Brown Dwarf stars, the biology of bees and strange paradoxes. Oddly enough, this channel is quite new to… [Continue Reading]

The Call of the Wild

September 19, 2022August 29, 2022 Lynn 0 Comments mum, ramble

Editor’s note: The article you are about to read was originally written in 2007 by my mum, an all-round amazing woman. Today would have been her birthday, so I am publishing this article in her memory. Mum was simply the best person ever, who inspired me to start writing myself. It’s an honour to be able to share some of her work with you. I hope you all enjoy another sliver of my mum’s brilliance and insanity. THE CALL OF THE WILD I do enjoy good David Attenborough documentary very much. I like the gentle, old-fashioned, school masterly tone of… [Continue Reading]

Ow My Finger

June 5, 2022May 31, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ramble, rant

I’m in one of those moods today. One where everything isn’t quite right. There are days where everything feels slightly wrong, and you keep on messing up little things. Sure, the little things aren’t your fault. Some things just go wrong on their own. However, every little fuck up makes you reconsider your humanity and you just feel like everything is bad and horrible. It’s super easy to just get more and more annoyed, and more problems just pile up, making one want to cry. In fact, the smallest thing could set me off at any moment. Except, well, something… [Continue Reading]

An Addiction to the Jump Key

May 24, 2022May 17, 2022 Medic 0 Comments destiny 2, platform, platformer, ramble, rant, Risk of Rain 2, Team Fortress 2, warframe

If you have been browsing the Daily SPUF for a while, you may have noticed that our chief editor hates anything to do with parkour, platforming and jumping puzzles. Before any sort of parkour can be done, there’s always some hesitation. After all, most games kill you if you fall into a pit. However, despite my uneasy parkour ‘skills’ (I am not skilled in any way), there’s something odd about how I play video games. I rarely have my feet firmly planted on the ground. In fact, when I move around, I probably jump too much. But why? Why am… [Continue Reading]

I’d Rather Not

May 19, 2022May 10, 2022 Medic 0 Comments covid, ramble, real life

The other day, I went to get a COVID test. It was part of a government initiative to test as many people as possible. The idea was to test most of the working populace before they returned to work. There were testing locations in most major city locations, and although we did have to wait, it was orderly. Everyone stood 2 meters apart and kept their distance. The test itself was also pretty easy. We gave the nurses our contact details, we did the test and waited only a few minutes to receive our results. Thankfully, I tested negative. Considering… [Continue Reading]

On Destiny 2’s Glaives

May 18, 2022May 9, 2022 Medic 0 Comments destiny 2, glaive, ramble

Glaives are odd objects. In reality, a glaive is a long polearm weapon, with a 50cm-ish blade on one end and a whole lot of long stick. But at the same time, the name Glaive is also sometimes given to sharp, throwable discs that come back, a bit like a boomerang. While Warframe uses the term “Glaive” to be a throwable, bladed, circular weapon, Destiny 2 has gone with the more European option, which is a blade on a big stick. And also putting some sort of gun on it too. Destiny 2’s Glaives look cool. The Glaive weapon type… [Continue Reading]

Random Thoughts on the Witch Queen Campaign

April 8, 2022April 4, 2022 Medic 0 Comments destiny 2, dlc, expansion, ramble, witch queen

For my birthday, my brother bought me a copy of Witch Queen, the new expansion for Destiny 2. I had been holding off buying it for myself for quite a long time, due to the fact that I don’t really play much Destiny 2 in general. However, since it had been gifted to me, brother and I decided to play through the main Witch Queen campaign, a whole new story to be unraveled. In all honesty though, I’m not too sure about it all. I can’t tell if I liked it or not. Felt short Maybe it’s because I wasn’t… [Continue Reading]

On Writing On What’s On My Mind

April 7, 2022April 3, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ramble, random

Today is not a particularlly productive day for me. Especially for writing, which I have been struggling with for a while. I used to be able to jot something article-like with ease. These days though, I do find keeping my writing up quite difficult. The question is, how do I get my mojo back? Originally, I would just write whatever comes to mind. A Team Fortress 2 class. A cosmetic. Perhaps a Warframe weapon or three. Or perhaps some little tiny thing no one cares about or hardly never noticed. My writing isn’t always about games. I also write about… [Continue Reading]

On Watching Card Games and Understanding Nothing

March 30, 2022March 24, 2022 Medic 1 Comment card game, magic: the gathering, noob, ramble

Lately, a lot of my friends have been playing card games, notably Magic the Gathering. And sometimes they stream their card games, allowing me to watch. Watching these games is quite enjoyable, but I don’t understand any of it. Weirdly, I am not too bad at learning new games. I mean, I always suck at games in general but I like to think I have some understanding of these things. If I am watching a stream, I’ll soon work out the rules and generally get the gist of a game. Sure, I can’t often replicate streamers’ skills but it’s better… [Continue Reading]
