If you’re impatient, no. Most of the “grind” was starting a crafting job, and waiting 72 hours for it to complete.

Unfortunately everyone wants instant gratification and Warframe is not an instant-gratification game.

What I did was work on things bit by bit, and when I started crafting it - I moved onto farming something else.

Some of the worst items to get in the game, I had to wait a year before they ‘unvaulted’ the relics for. Other things, I had to log in daily for over a year before they would become available as login rewards.

So – I repeat – If all you care about is instant gratification, Warframe is not for you. Unless you have deep pockets. Their monetization scheme is “If you don’t want to wait on this thing, pay up”. For people who are patient, this is wonderful.

The video is completely incorrect in what it’s pointing out as being “AI Generated”. The person in the video is a moron.

Check out BTOP++ – it blows htop out of the water.

The website that she refers to in her video, and the massively wrong verbiage in the paragraphs proceeding, is definitely not “AI Slop”, this is a pretty common thing to see in mass website farms from India.

Go ask chat.openai.com to explain GLTF and GLB to you, and it’s not going to have any of this weird grammatical error shit; it explains GLB pretty succinctly, because it’s a widely discussed subject.

Unfortunately, sooooo many people are worried about AI, that they’re attributing anything and everything to it now. These types of grammatically broken websites existed before any kind of useful LLM text generation, and they’ll continue to exist afterwards as well. But they are not AI-generated.

AI hallucinates and generates jibberish when you’re asking it to generate text about edge cases and knowledge bases which aren’t commonly talked about. This is not one of those examples.

I like https://github.com/aristocratos/btop personally. It’s way prettier than the normal top command which you use to watch processes to find the one that’s hogging all of the CPU or whatever. And it’s not so much that it’s underrated so much as it’s not very well known or distributed by default.

Tmux / Screen is like the emacs/vim of the modern day Linux I think.

Screen is more than capable, but for those who have moved to Tmux, they will absolutely advocate for it.

Played from 2020 to around the end of 2022, already did all of the rebalance stuff since Rebecca became design lead. I really cannot go back. I beat it. It’s done. Regardless of the new frames, etc – I’m out of that “cycle” now. I’m mastery rank L2 if I am remembering correctly. No matter how much content they release - they’ll never release enough of it for me to want to return. I conquered Warframe. Legendary 2 rank. Most people don’t even reach MR15 before they crash out. Once I had everything in the game, it was done for me. Permanently.

Warframe. I spent 2 years around 2020 farming up every frame, every item, every pet, every everything – without spending a dime. I was so grateful for the experience I spent nearly $300 in cosmetics when I finished the game.

They’re always adding more stuff, but I consider Warframe “beat”. It was a killer experience, I had a lot of fun with all the different builds and overpowered shit you could pull off if you were smart. Along with Path of Exile, Warframe stands a pinnacle of how to do Free to Play correctly.

I also did a “No Engram” run on ARK: Survival Ascended – You’re not allowed to learn any of the things you can build; you HAVE to find the items naturally in the world. That was a nightmare, but I managed it – and will NEVER do it again. It gave me new appreciation for specific aspects of the game.

ARK: Survival Ascended; I run a public cluster for some streamers and friends.

You know how they’ve been saying “Xbox isn’t going away! Xbox isn’t dying!”

What if they announce an Xbox SteamDeck 🤣

RIP FromSoftware.

I’d rather them become a not-for-profit instead of a non-profit.

This is the kind of bullshit I don’t have time for, when shit gets broken in userspace because someone wanted to change the location of something.

Can’t wait until this guy DDoS’s his home connection and his ISP calls wondering why tf his bandwidth skyrocketed overnight because of hotlinkers.

Bro, GhatGPT wrote a better apology:

Dear Community,

Look, we know we sell little plastic figures—not games, not platforms, not anything remotely digital—but somehow, we’ve managed to trip over our own shoelaces and knock something precious to all of you right off the shelf. Yes, we’re talking about itch.io, and yes, we understand the gravity of what happened.

We’re not going to sugarcoat it: we messed up. We’re not entirely sure how the dominoes fell this way, but somehow, through a series of unfortunate events (and probably some poorly-thought-out legal maneuvers), our actions have impacted an entire community that thrives on creativity and passion. That was never our intention, and it’s not who we want to be.

The truth is, we’re sitting here staring at our little figures, wondering how something so small can lead to such a big screw-up. We know this affects you, and we’re genuinely sorry for the frustration, confusion, and anger we’ve caused.

We don’t expect forgiveness overnight, but please know we’re working hard to make this right. We’re talking to the people who actually know what they’re doing (because, let’s face it, we clearly don’t), and we’re committed to doing better moving forward.

We value this community more than you realize, even if we’ve done a poor job of showing it. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you’ll give us the chance to earn back your trust—not just with our figures, but with our actions.

Thankfully they didn’t find any evidence of it being used, but they promptly fixed the issues and informed everyone. Great example of amazing management.

TPB is a honeypot now.

I’m claiming them for the day when Epic games store shuts down and they give out keys for redeemed games on steam. I’m playing the long game. :D

WoW, CS 1.6, Warframe, and ARK

I think something like 5k hours into Warframe, 15 years into WoW (at least 2 of my characters have 1+ year of playtime–so 17k hours just on those 2; and I max-leveled every class of character up until Battle for Azeroth) and so far, 2 years into ARK. Just over 3.5k hours of playtime between ASE and ASA.

The Montech cases are really good, come with 6 RGB fans preinstalled, and a glass side (not plexi)
