Gambit is in the Wrong Game

January 7, 2022December 30, 2021 Medic 0 Comments destiny, ramble, warframe

Every time I try and get back into Destiny 2, someone suggests I quickly do Gambit. Gambit is a weird cross between PvP and PvE. Its basic premise is that you have to kill AI enemies, collect the motes they drop and put them inside a container to spawn a massive boss. In the mean time, a portal opens up between two teams and a player can jump through and make life hell for the other team. First team to kill their boss wins. Simple, right? However, there is a small problem with Gambit: no one seems to like it.… [Continue Reading]

Why on Earth would anyone want to come to my Island?

January 2, 2022December 24, 2021 Medic 0 Comments animal crossing, new horizons, nintendo switch, ramble

As I play through Animal Crossing – New Horizons, I’ve begun to notice something odd. Everyone keeps on telling me the same thing, over and over. The residents who appeared on my island quickly settled down and told me how much they love island life. And as I got my first visitor from a campsite, I end up hearing the same thing. They love this island so much that they want to live with us. But WHY would anyone want to live in my island? Frankly, I don’t get it. My island is very much unfinished or even that sophisticated.… [Continue Reading]

Good Riddance, 2021!

December 31, 2021December 22, 2021 Medic 0 Comments 2022, games, new year, ramble

Today is New Year’s Eve, and I’m feeling rather nostalgic. We had a great Christmas and everything went very well. Since it’s the end of the year, I feel like it’s time for… well, not a recap, but a ramble through 2021. A year that somehow breezed past. Seriously, this year felt short. Things happened but everything just feels… mangled up, I guess? A transformative year. For me personally, this year has been all over the damn place. Spent a good chunk of the year feeling depressed and anxious, but now I am actually trying to fix stuff. The angry… [Continue Reading]

The Curious Single-Timeline Nature of Everything I Write

December 7, 2021December 1, 2021 Medic 0 Comments ramble, story, writers block, writing

As you are probably aware, either from the fact that the Daily SPUF recently hit a milestone in articles or the fact that I, Medic, write all of them, this crazy individual does a vast amount of writing. In fact, I do so much writing that the article in which I mentioned we had nearly reached 2400 articles had to be updated, because I had originally written the article just before we hit the 2300 article milestone and nearly forgot to change it. In fact, I had to alter this opening paragraph to not include a number due to how… [Continue Reading]

Winging Cakes

December 5, 2021December 3, 2021 Medic 0 Comments cake, cooking, ramble, rant

Baking is a hobby of mine, but it’s a somewhat recent one. My desire to cook more increased when I moved out, because, well, I couldn’t just eat noodles. No matter how much I like them. However, baking is an even more recent new hobby, one that appeared as I moved apartments, and wanted something sweet to eat. Problem is, I like sweet things, like cakes and muffins. And if I buy them from a shop, I’d be even fatter than I am now. As an alternative, I started baking my own cakes, so I can control how much sugar… [Continue Reading]

My First Handheld Gaming Console

December 4, 2021December 1, 2021 Medic 0 Comments Console, nintendo switch, ramble

The other day, I actually did something rather out of character. People who know me well often describe me as frugal or cheap. I’ve always been unwilling to spend a lot of money on things I like, and always take the cheapest option. Even when I’m supposed to be treating myself to something nice, I still take the cheaper route. And if I can’t justify a purchase, I simply don’t get it. However, for once, I actually bought a proper treat for myself. I bought a Nintendo Switch Lite. For about €300, I bought myself a Nintendo Switch and Animal… [Continue Reading]

A Random Chat About A Scan

November 11, 2021November 5, 2021 Medic 0 Comments medicine, meh, ramble

The other day, I experienced something new. On my doctor’s request, I went to a radiology clinic to get an MRI done. In fact, this MRI was so unusual and new to me, that I feel it’s worth talking about. For those who don’t know, an MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) is a way of viewing and inspecting inside your body. You basically sit in a giant magnet while radio waves bounce around, generating a view of inside your own body. While X-rays are normally used for bones and the like, an MRI is used to view our more squishy organs.… [Continue Reading]

An Awkward Bout of Writers’ Block

November 8, 2021November 2, 2021 Medic 0 Comments ramble, rant

I’m not going to lie, things have been tough lately. Not in any particularly worrisome way, just, well, I feel out of sorts. A bit frustrated, very tired and all that sort of thing. When these emotions come along, the first thing that changes is my ability to write. Simply put, I have a massive case of Writers’ Block which I am struggling to escape from. No patience to write While I do have some free time, free time does not equal writing time. Free time can be spent on all sorts of things, like watching Youtube videos or attempting… [Continue Reading]

Mindlessly Murdering Things

November 3, 2021October 27, 2021 Medic 0 Comments destiny 2, ramble, warframe

You ever get one of those days where you just want to turn your brain off? Something seems a little skewed and you don’t know why? A good mood or bad mood can come along at any moment, and sometimes you just don’t want to think about anything. Other times though, you just want to do something simple and easy, like play a video game. For me, my favourite thing to do is mindlessly murder things. Just grab a big gun and mow down some generic bad guys. While there are a lot of games where you can do this,… [Continue Reading]

Video Game Stuff I’m Actually Good At

October 23, 2021October 16, 2021 Medic 0 Comments ramble

I suck at video games. The reason is quite obvious, I’ve just not sat down long enough to get the hang of them. The smooth mouse movement I use for work does not sync well with the erratic mouse and stutter movement I have in video games. That being said, I am very good at doing somethings… completely wrong. Getting an enemy down to low health then someone else kills them It’s a known fact that my aim is truly trash. But lately, I have noticed something else. My aim works in a special way: Miss the first couple of… [Continue Reading]
