Random Thoughts on Future Crossplay in Warframe

March 25, 2022March 18, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ramble, warframe

For Tennocon 2021, a lot of things were teased. The New War was the big teaser, finally getting a date after waiting so many years for it. But there was also something else teased, something far, far bigger than a simple, long-awaited quest. That thing was Crossplay, the ability to play Warframe with Tenno across the world, no matter what console one is using. Alongside it, we got hints about cross saves and Warframe on mobile devices. But, just like the New War trailer afterwards, there is nothing but speculation these days. Today, I’d like to discuss the potential of… [Continue Reading]

At What Point Do I Become a Veteran in Video Games?

March 17, 2022March 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ramble, random, rant

As a human being, I don’t have much self-confidence. It’s something I have struggled with for a while, both online and offline. Today, I am mostly looking at the online side of things. Because I have almost no self-confidence when it comes to games. When I used to play PvP stuff, I was rarely ever pleased with myself. Mostly because I always played as a support. Mainly just Medic in TF2, but also in other games I dabbled with. The reason I played support was always two-fold. Firstly, no one else wants to play support most of the time, but… [Continue Reading]

When Writers’ Block Attacks

March 7, 2022March 2, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ramble, rant, writers block, writing

Today, I am going to write about Writers’ Block. Because, somewhat ironically, I have a massive problem with Writers’ Block currently. Turns out, writing 500 words a day every day can only go on for so long. I was bound to get burnt out eventually. However, I’m still trying and I haven’t given up yet. So how am I coping? Eh, I’ve felt better. Got no energy. Normally, in a day, I have time to write something. Generally my writing is done in the evening, after work. But so far, 2022 has been keeping me quite busy, to the point… [Continue Reading]

Smart and Oblivious

February 25, 2022February 20, 2022 Medic 0 Comments destiny 2, ramble

While playing Destiny 2 earlier, I found myself in a mission that I had never seen before. Apparently there was a ziggurat that needed to be protected from the Vex and their corrupting energy. It took me far too long to work out what I had to do, and I basically failed the mission a bunch of times because I didn’t get it. I had to get some help on the matter. Alongside that help came a small nugget of embarrassment. How could someone as smart as me not understand that the Vex weren’t allowed near the main structures? Now,… [Continue Reading]

Everyone Has a Spot of Art in them

February 22, 2022February 17, 2022 Medic 0 Comments art, ramble

Every other Thursday, I join a small local group of people, and we all do some sort of arty thing. The arty thing (which I have referenced in the past) is both a small social event and a chance to make something nice. Normally, we all do something along the same theme. For example, we recently did some nice glass painting. But for one arty session, we were presented with a pile of art supplies and some nice, gloss card, perfect for making greetings cards. This time, we all let our creative juices flow, and they all flowed out in… [Continue Reading]

Mara Sov Fucks Up Again

February 21, 2022February 20, 2022 Medic 2 Comments destiny 2, lore, ramble, witch queen

I normally don’t write much about Destiny 2’s lore. There is so much of it that I find it hard to follow. While there are some great youtube channels that explain the lore, it is all still very messy. However, there is one bit of lore that I do kinda try to follow, especially as Witch Queen comes out. Today though, there is one particular character I want to discuss. Mara Sov, the current queen of the Awoken, always seems to piss me off. And now she’s done something incredibly dumb. Again. While I can understand occasionally fucking up, pretty… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon I Like But Never Get To Use

February 18, 2022February 12, 2022 Medic 1 Comment pokemon, pokemon go, raid, ramble

When it comes to Pokemon GO, the meta doesn’t change much. In PvP, there are random cups that offer a change, but your standard PvP match will always have familiar faces, especially as you play the higher leagues. In PvE content, the meta most of the time is use six of one Pokemon and never use the default recommended stuff the game suggests. Anyway, here are some Pokemon I like, but rarely get to use in battle. Entei and Suicune The legendary beasts Entei and Suicune are really cool Pokemon. Doesn’t help that their choice of attacks just aren’t very… [Continue Reading]

On Bosses and Invulnerability Phases in Warframe

February 17, 2022February 12, 2022 Medic 0 Comments boss, invulnerability, ramble, warframe

Boss battles are interesting. Just like everything else in gaming, a boss battle is supposed to be impactful, but bosses ramp it up to 11. Of course they do. You’ve been running around killing mooks and now suddenly here’s a challenge, demanding that you kill the big bad. However, it’s rarely as simple as “shoot them until they die”, there is always some sort of puzzle required, or a chance for you to not deal damage at all. Bosses go invulnerable and you either force them to come back or wait for them to stop. In Warframe in particular, most… [Continue Reading]

A Ramble About Pockets

February 11, 2022February 5, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ramble, rant

One of my most favourite pieces of clothing that I own is a long-sleeved black top with white stars on it. I have no idea where this top came from, but I’ve owned it for several years now. The nicest thing about this top though? It has pockets. A pocket on each side, not always noticeable. Sure, those pockets aren’t the deepest, nor do they have a way of being sealed. But when it comes to putting something temporarily in said pockets, it’s so nice that my starry top can help. Unfortunately though, the rest of my wardrobe mostly lacks… [Continue Reading]

What sort of ‘end game’ do people even want?

January 20, 2022January 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments end game, ramble, rant, warframe

Warframe contains a lot of content. From cramped exterminate missions to the fresh air of Cetus, all the way to space in our Railjacks, there is a LOT to do. Yet somehow, for some people, that doesn’t seem to be enough. Veteran players complain all the time that there isn’t much to do. They believe that Warframe has no end game content. But what even is end game content? The term ‘end game content’ is a very nebulous one. Players are looking for new content to challenge themselves, or, just in general, they want something to do after they’ve played… [Continue Reading]
