Formerly Keegen on Kbin.social(RIP), this is my Lemmy account.
It’s back! I finally managed to find enough time to watch the entire thing in one go, I didn’t expect them to drop an entire MOVIE LENGTH first episode on us like that! So much going on, so many plot threads. Poor Subaru almost managed to make it through the entire 1,5h without dying.
Refresh rate is king. I would much rather use a 1080p 120+Hz monitor over 4k 60Hz. 1440p 144Hz is the sweet spot though, big visual improvement over 1080p without the need to bankrupt yourself on a GPU powerful enough to drive a 4k 120Hz display or relying on upscaling making everything a blurry mess.
Oh HELL YES! With how successful the 1st season was, it was almost guaranteed we would get a sequel but it’s still nice to have an official confirmation now!
While it’s a strong combo, in practice it’s just a more clunky version of what a lot of other frames can already accomplish with subsumed Roar and their own abilities. An unmoddable 25sec of downtime that can only be reduced by killing 25 things without your strongest buff active is not very impressive.
You’re right, usually I only mention the blueprints themselves but she is a pretty unique case of having a whole mission dedicated just to farming her specific resource. I’ve edited it in.
Dagath had the misfortune of being a cone-shaped AoE nuke frame that released right after the strongest (also cone-shaped) AoE nuke frame in the game. In a world without Kullervo in it, Dagath would be a strong contended for the top spot in terms of nuking potential, at least until Dante’s release. Sadly for her, this isn’t the world we live in. As it stands, I don’t see a reason to use her over Kullervo or Dante other than for her spooky theme.
I think the idea was to take back the narrative about Ruri’s horns and spin it around against them. By publicly declaring her desire to remove her horns, mentioning the safety concern and making it a whole public event (even including the perpetrators of the rumors in it) they turn it around on them, showing she does care, is self-conscious and is actively trying to prevent any harm. It makes the topic of discussing her horns and dragon heritage in any negative light an insensitive subject, making them the bad guys if they ever decide to bring it back up again. At least that’s my understanding of it.
Bold words from someone who bullies others for their appearance.
I still think this whole plan was insane, but it worked out in the end so I guess it’s OK?
I was excited but then saw it’s a movie and the excitement instantly evaporated. I wish I could be happy about seeing a series I like getting a movie but with the wait times before I get to watch it, it’s a miracle if I even remember about it by the time it’s available.
Here he is! My personal pick for current strongest frame in the game! I was honestly a bit torn between him and Dante, but I think I would put Kullervo ever so slightly higher, his scaling coming from weapons makes him far more resilient to power creep and his single target damage is insane, Dante suffers a bit on that front.
Needles to say, this frame is crazy. Insane levels of damage, shared between as many enemies as you can Collective Curse, nearly immortal thanks to on-demand overguard, free combo counter generator build in to make his heavy attack numbers even sillier and a mobility tool that makes Ash jealous (poor Teleport crying in the corner). This frame, along with Zephyr, are your easiest entry points into Steel Path. If you like guns, pick Zephyr. If you prefer melee, Kullervo is your man. Both of them require just a decent weapon modded for their respective strengths to dominate Steel Path enemies with absolute ease. Just like Zephyr, you don’t even need any mods on Kullervo himself to easily stomp your way through any mission. No matter if it’s a boss or a horde of troops, he carves his way right through them all the same.
A Taira and Azuma chapter, I was hoping it would be one! There is hope for Azuma yet, poor Taira is slowly working through his issues. I won’t be surprised if as this goes on and they both work out their respective problems, they kinda just become a couple without an official confession or anything.
The main thing that makes Wisp such a good support frame is her sheer convenience and low maintenance. Support is a very unpopular and underplayed role in Warframe and for a good reason. All the good top end frames are entirely self sufficient, requiring no external aid to easily dominate. Wisp breaks the mold by providing generally useful buffs that apply to you AND your teammates while requiring no work from the player on top of having a solid CC/damage ability and a free subsume slot. A 400% power strength Wisp with Pillage makes for an incredibly nasty weapons platform frame while also helping out teammates with her Motes. She can support her teammates without needing to work for it all while being capable of doing the mission by herself if need be.
Octavia for sure! Not only is her toolkit good at basically everything, her passive helps with one of the worst early game problems, energy economy. Not being forced to rely entirely on energy drop RNG to be able to maintain your abilities is liberating before Zenurik and other energy generators kick in.
The second best support frame in the game, only beat by Wisp due to the sheer convenience of her Motes. While her abilities require her to do far more than just “press 1 and enjoy buffs” to get their payoff, the reward is well worth it! This frame takes Gara’s best abilities and makes them even better! Team-wide 90% DR with none of the annoying maintenance associated with Splinter Storm. Crystallize is Mass Vitrify but in a cone and much much faster, while giving everyone capable of aiming red crits with any weapon. More of a status person than a crit one? Prismatic Gem has you covered, all enemies now come pre-primed while your weapons get bonus status chance and duration! And her Fractured Blast provides both health orbs to fuel her passive and energy orbs to keep her energy economy going. With Equilibrium on you can forgo efficiency completely and not care one bit. If this frame wasn’t locked behind such an annoying farm I imagine she would be way more popular, it’s the one bad thing about her.
I know I said last week that the upcoming frames are all powerhouses…here we have an exception. She’s not bad and you can make her work, even if some of her abilities feel really clunky to use, but she gets completely overshadowed by all the frames that follow her. I might be a bit biased against her as she is a melee frame and I really don’t like melee much in Warframe, but I don’t think I’m being that unfair when in 2 weeks we will discuss arguably the most powerful frame in the game right now.
I loved Wotakoi. The 4 main characters are 26-28 and employed. It’s in the especially rare category of adult romcoms. It’s a shame the anime never got a second season, but the manga is finished so if you give it a watch and want to find out what happened after, give it a read!
I love these three panels. So cute!
As we approach the more recent frames, most of these are going to be absolute monsters. Styanax is no exception. This guy’s got it all and then some! Near unlimited energy for you and your team? Check! Full armor strip on demand with no prerequisites? Check! A huge AoE nuke that deals Slash procs on every hit and provides you and your entire team 30k Overguard? Check! This frame is insanely powerful and I’m constantly surprised to never see anyone play him despite DE handing him out multiple times for free with a potato included.
There are a bunch of volume sliders in the settings, lowering Transmissions down to 0% should silence them
I still haven’t gotten Qorvex to this day. His kit didn’t look very fun or interesting to me, and nothing he could accomplish looked particularly impressive compared to other frames I already had. He can explode groups with his 1 + 4 combo but as soon as the enemy density becomes anything less than Steel Path survival he falls off hard. Not a big fan of the guy.
