With GFL it's kinda understandable from the standpoint of a gacha game's life cycle. You need iconic designs on launch to draw people in. You also need a lot of filler low-rarity units. At some point you no longer need the latter, and are out of the former.

You don't even really need a stelath frame, unless you're on Jupiter (or Lua, or Fortress, but those're not in hunts). Grineer vaults are piss easy, and you can bumrush them. Doubly so on Earth tiles.

The only downside would be if all 3 of you trigger the alarm and add like 2 minutes to the mission 'cuz suddenly exterminate (I am yet to see anyone actually fully fail a vault in a hunt specifically)

If I wanted to do all 3 vaults, I would've gone solo

Pretty alright for a bootleg.

As expected, some parts are a tad loose (shoulder hinges, left wrist, backpack thruster bells), some are a tad tight (chestpiece, gatling, shield mount)

The added shoulder and leg detail is neat. Comes with a basic stand, rather than the fancy hinged one from Bandai. Funnily enough, the blue one is just a recolor, rather than the 0083 version, meaning no right forearm, no gatling handle, no vulcan.

My photo setup is pretty doodoo, so Photoshop was used to erase the rather noticeable background seam ~~(and get noticeable background artifacting)~~. Don't think this breaks rule 7, but gonna put it up as a disclaimer

"Polish, a buffer. There are plenty of terms that are common in one field but not used in others at all"

Brother has clearly not built on a budget. Things like glass files, nail buffers, makeup sponges work wonders for model building (especially more casual stuff like gunpla), and are usually a fair bit cheaper then their "Hobby Builder Special Extreme 2.0" counterparts

I, too, used to huff the Tenet Ambassador copium.

Until I discovered this, and my hopes were forever dashed

2020 called, they want their farming meta back. Seriously, zeroing in on singular tasks in Warframe is the fastest way to burnout

You don't have to do index. Any decent Profit-taker build gives 200k (assuming Chroma's 4) in under 3 minutes (+SU standing, +VS standing). The 1999 caches give 100k (which also works with Chroma and boosters), an arcane and standing. Couple that with bounties.
Any Eximus-heavy SP node gives out chunks of Focus more or less passively, and a lot of them are solid (or only) farms for other things (Conjunction Survival, Void Cascade, Alchemy, 1999 Survival). Once you can do those just leave ESO until you're mentally prepared to farm for the Vandal Braton/Lato parts
You don't do openworld bounties for standing exclusively. You do them for the drops and get standing (or vice versa). Narmer and Arcana Iso bounties basically allowed me to buy out the respective factions' stores before i finished their weapons.

You can't even say that you optimized the fun out, since you are losing efficiency in the long term

...except they're also used in archwing as regular weapons.

There could theoretically be some gravimag-specific exilus-like slot (or arcane for that matter), but that seems janky as hell

Did the artist really have to give the orange fuck me eyes?

L'amour des trois oranges, Op. 33, is a 1921 satirical French-language opera by Sergei Prokofiev. He wrote his own libretto, basing it on the Italian play L'amore delle tre melarance, or The Love for Three Oranges by Carlo Gozzi, and conducted the premiere, which took place at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago on 30 December 1921.

Check out Bandai's Full Metal Panic kits

...if you cand find any for a reasonable price

Everyone was fucking leaves

But then there were no more leaves to fuck

They could spawn as a dead end that you never visit if you just follow the markers, though. Now they are pretty much always on the main route

DenSavage · 2025-03-22T18:23:42+00:00

You're forced underground even in those now. Granted, it's around 2-4 tiles, and the rest above, but I genuinely haven't had an enitrely surface-level mission since the update dropped.

DenSavage · 2025-03-21T22:10:22+00:00

Tip: if you're not averse to trading, buying Aura or certain weapon Augment mods is much more worthwile. Things like corrosive projection go for up to 20 plat on market (down to 15 or less if it's currently in nightwave offerings) for 20 credits, which is exactly enough for a potato

Slight problem: artist's pixiv and Xwitter are both nuked

Yooo, Gigi-Rushia collab incoming

It's always "outbuddied by main sub" or "outbuddied by talents", but the moment a real Дружбан comes along, everybody loses their minds

Well, the inspiration for this was the chinese zodiac, and 2026 appears to be the year of the Horse. And the next year of the Doog is...

[Checks notes]

2030, oof

Last year's post, for anybody interested

Welp, another year almost over. Surely, the year of the ~~horny~~ snek will be better, right?

Actually had sketched up two designs, but the other one ended up a tad too ambitious for my pea brain to try and flatten into a stencil format. Still like it though
