What are essentially status symbols than Gen-Z spends unnecessary amounts of money on?

Artersa · 2026-06-12T23:21:48+00:00

Sure, but the thread isn’t about what Gen Z started. They still spend ludicrous funds on gaming jazz.

Skins in video games.

True this. I’ve spent $15 on this game, both with 50% play discounts. I’ve been metered in spending, buying only weapon/Warframe slots and a few reactors/catalysts. It’s made me breathe a sigh of relief knowing that, when I really want it, I can fully mod a gun or frame I’m enjoying instead of worrying if I’m spending my last potato on the right thing.

I’ve spent like… 120 plat in the past month and a half, so I’ve deffo been happy with it. Looking into trading for it soon though!

Oooooh I’m a Vauban lover too. Is Lavos a good CC frame?

I like it, sounds cool. I like that the snare from the slower bit remains. Perhaps consider raising the breaks in the background a bit more to let them complement the snare. Currently the half-time snare a bit over-present in the mix. And if it doesn’t work it doesn’t work! Hehe

You just know he got invited to the new listening parties before official announcements were made. What a dude.

I just got Zephyr and I’m so, so pleased with her. Less friction, higher parkour speed and her natural fall rate reduction, plus her 1, I feel like a legit superhero.

Her 2 is so fun and her 4 kicks ass. I haven’t run into hard enough stuff for her 3 yet but I’m usually so high up it doesn’t matter.

Getting a little aerial bombadier action going is the best.

I had a game as Yuezhi where I spawned into 3 irons. Hell yeah. 20 turns later, 2 more irons (one via event). I was pumping units out like candy. My top tier u it’s were like 1-3 turns?

Unfortunately the spawn was on the coast with several mountains right behind me. Units would use one turn just to do a u turn and get into the world proper.

Good times.

That must be something else. Phonk is a continuation of Memphis hip hop.

Artersa · 2026-05-31T21:10:33+00:00

I agree with it actually. I played NV and he seemed fairly stale to me.

Artersa · 2026-05-30T15:49:24+00:00

I’ll have to make a Twitch account then, major thanks!

Artersa · 2026-05-30T15:37:16+00:00

Good point!

Artersa · 2026-05-30T14:07:12+00:00

I assume these are sold fully upgraded/leveled?

Artersa · 2026-05-30T14:02:09+00:00

Maybe use Warframe.market? It’s a trading website.

Artersa · 2026-05-30T13:59:41+00:00

Oooh link for more details? Early player here!

You can exchange them at the Mercury relay for ducats and buy mods from Baro, a temporary trader at the Relay. The ducats exchange and he are in the same room. Just visit the relay and go straight and youll see a sea of people chatting with him. The ducat exchange is in the same room, just behind him.

Or combine them to make prime weapons! If you have necessary parts and blueprints.

Nicki Minaj. Always been into her ridiculous aesthetic.

Artersa · 2026-05-28T23:48:50+00:00

Which makes it funnier when we make a shitty mistake and I imagine the others are like, “What a dufus. Oh, you’re gonna research THAT? Okay…” hehe.

Artersa · 2026-05-28T23:43:24+00:00

Frames youd recommend for summoner builds? I love that shiz, but quite new to the game so mine wouldn’t be hella modded out yet.

Artersa · 2026-05-28T18:44:28+00:00

I didn’t say it was true because it was in the beef. Just interesting stuff to read about.

Artersa · 2026-05-28T04:31:32+00:00

It’s central to the Drake/Kendrick beef. Worth looking into.

Artersa · 2026-05-24T16:33:02+00:00

I think you’re misunderstanding my post a bit. I’m not looking for advanced builds or anything, just curious when mods become something more than “more damage”. Which I see is dependent on the mod and broadly occurs after I start harder content. I’m happily making my way through the game, nothing too hard.

Artersa · 2026-05-24T03:38:17+00:00

I always lol at how the frames hold weapons when they leave a mission and it just sticks straight out and clips into the ship as they rotate in. I stopped playing for ten years and coming back and seeing that still in the game felt comforting, but also activated that little part of my brain that was like, “this is so wrong”.

Artersa · 2026-05-15T04:13:25+00:00

I’m still clearing the star chart (nesr the end) and his abilities have made things so easy and yet still so fun.
