Cool Sciency Stuff That I Don’t Get

Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of stuff on Youtube. While my desire to play games is dulled, I need to do something with my free time. Something that isn’t writing. So yeah, Youtube time it is. But I’ve not been sitting here, watching any old bollocks. I’ve been watching sciency things. And I’d be lying if I said I understood it all. So what sciency things have I been watching? Mostly quantum stuff. You know, the building blocks of the universe. But damn is this stuff confusing. I mean, it’s what the universe is made of, of course it’s… [Continue Reading]

A Brief Look At Gemini Home Entertainment

It’s rare for me to watch actual horror movies, especially on Youtube. My grip on reality isn’t the best and scary movies can and do haunt me for ages. However, lately, I’ve stumbled across “Analog horror”. It’s basically unsettling and traumatic stories being told via found footage or classic VHS cassettes. Older horror, before the time that we all had computers in our pockets. They are designed to look exactly like they came off from video tapes One particular analog horror though stands out to me: GEMINI HOME ENTERTAINMENT. And I want to talk a little about it. Before I… [Continue Reading]

5 Small Changes I’d Like to See in Railjack Missions

I enjoy playing Railjack. While it’s not something I play all of the time, Railjack does offer a nice distraction from the normal grind. However, Railjack had a bit of a buggy start, and it still has problems. While I could ramble on and on about Railjack’s bigger issues, I’d instead like some small quality of life features. After all, you’ve probably already heard about all the big fuck-ups. Anyway, here’s 5 little things I’d like for Railjack. Make it more obvious how you can leave a squad It’s not always understood when you can leave a squad in Railjack.… [Continue Reading]

Ultra Time was Great, Ultra Space was not

After GO Fest, there’s always some sort of Ultra event. The U-shaped Unown appears in raids and there’s an unusual theme surrounding the event. This year, after GO Fest 2021, players ‘unlocked’ three Ultra events. The first was Time, the second was Space and the third was randomly Gen 8 stuff. As events go, the Ultra Time and Space events were rather similar. But it’s clear as day that one event was better than the other. The big difference are in the wild spawns Time Week’s wild spawns were great. We had a mixture of actually useful wild Pokemon. Fossil… [Continue Reading]

Why You Should Use Tether on Your Railjack

Modding Railjacks is kinda weird. Rather than having a set of abilities and mods that enhance those abilities, Railjacks go a different route. Instead, you select which ship abilities you want to use, and shove them in the required ability slot. Really, Railjack modding seems kinda complicated at first. But most Railjacks are actually built in pretty much the same way. Not just in normal mods, but in Battle and Tactical Avionics as well. Assuming you have space for them all. To put it simply, there’s not actually enough modding capacity on Railjacks. You can’t fit a fully upgraded mod… [Continue Reading]

A Complete Idiot Gets Lost in No Man’s Sky

My family is weird. Or at least, some of us are. The person I shall now refer to as D (for privacy reasons) had his birthday a while back, but no one knew what to get him. In the midst of the Steam Summer Sale, we get an answer. No, D doesn’t want anything. He wants us to buy No Man’s Sky, so we can play it together. D loves No Man’s Sky and is proud of how the game has turned itself around. He wanted to share the love. So that’s what I did. I bought No Man’s Sky.… [Continue Reading]

Aliens Aliens Aliens

Space is big. Very big. Big enough that, if you printed out all the memes in the universe out and laid them side by side, there’d still be a fuckton of space left over. Heck, in our solar system alone, like 90% of it is nothing but empty space, punctuated by the odd asteroid. My point is, space is mindbogglingly big. But because it’s so big, that means there’s aliens in it, right? There’s gotta be tons of aliens, all looking for intelligent life. Loads of aliens looking up to the sky, just like we do, wondering whether there is… [Continue Reading]

You Can Finally Be Nude in Star Trek Online Again

Warning! Censored images of naked people in this article. Turn back if you’re at work! The nude mod for Star Trek Online can trace its roots all the way back to 2012, when it was originally made by a GVZ user who went by the names meehee and thefunkyone, before his mods went offline due to the home forum shutting down. Lucky for us, somebody shared the file with budding modder Password42, who updated it for the (then) current game. He maintained it until February 2016, when changes to Star Trek Online’s underlying programming made it inherently unstable. Then it went offline,… [Continue Reading]

Here’s to 2016!

Well yesterday’s article went over what happened in 2015, and it wasn’t really that impressive. You can’t expect every year that a game is alive for to be as impressive as the last, and 2015 showed that Valve is kinda just throwing things at the wall and hoping they stick, as well as copying and pasting things from other games into TF2, rather than doing it the other way around. 2016 though, what’s in stock for it? What’s going to be different? While the majority of 2015 has been dull, the last few weeks of the year have proved interesting,… [Continue Reading]
