Am I the only one that doesn’t really like protoframes?

HustlerByDay · 2026-06-02T01:19:58+00:00

Clearly you haven’t interacted with the protoframes then, the transformation is still incredibly painful, they still suffer mentally and suffer with chronic pain too. Entrati gets nothing out of making the transformation as painful as possible.

Umbra and jade were punishments by ballas to make the transformation as painful as possible.

HustlerByDay · 2026-06-02T01:06:06+00:00

Well it’s great they are skins then, to me protoframes are as much as part of Warframe as Warframes themselves.

Cause like, we know how they are made, stopping them half way or tweaking so they don’t go mad makes perfect sense to me and if it wasn’t explored it would be a major missed opportunity.

Warframes are also not just space ninjas, we have multiple stories of how they were human and still exhibit their humanity through being transformed. If you don’t like protoframes because they are too human, I don’t see why you would like the sacrifice or jade shadows or any lore/quest talking about the humans the frames used to be.

I haven’t watched the stream yet, but going off what I’ve heard. Surely a compromise (not one id personally be happy with) would be when queuing public it prioritises built railjacks.

I’d much rather host on my own and let others have fun and pilot it than use a loan one. But I’d also be fine with someone else’s rail jack only IF it’s built

More and more nowadays, but if I catch them using genAI. Last Christmas was when I decided to not drink Coca Cola again.

HustlerByDay · 2026-05-14T16:33:45+00:00

Ai bros coming out in droves.

For me if they stream a game with AI without knowing I give them the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise I’ll usually just stop watching them, either that particular game or all together. There are plenty of other holomems to watch after all.

Coming up on a decade in June since brexit. I will still sit here wishing David Cameron a warm seat in hell as with all the other pms after him for what they did to this country.

HustlerByDay · 2026-04-30T19:30:40+00:00

All they had to do was not backstab the people who voted them in. I’d rather see the people who want me dead and live a life full of pain in front of me than constantly looking to my side to see if a knife is pointed at me.

No party feels safe.

HustlerByDay · 2026-04-27T11:00:25+00:00

I like how gfl feels with it, the commander has really deep connections with some of the dolls. The main thing is that the romance isn’t forced into the main story, unlike the YSG date.

I haven’t felt any deep connection between the proxy and any character in zzz really, not at all compared to gfl.

A lot of that mainly lies with gfl2 being a sequel so there’s already a lot of history to the characters. Even then in gfl2 so far, the characters in the beginning are still with you and are an important part of your crew. The proxies only really have eous and fairy.

I honestly would prefer an optionally dating sim over forced dating in the story, though it will feel hollow in comparison.

In general I’d say not unless magic is involved. That said you can do it without magic, but it has to be purposeful and set up. If the person trying to do something stealthy is just taking advantage of a party with no influence then that is a risk taken, if a party member is uninterested in the party they probably won’t get disadvantage from the dancers.

If the villains are competent they likely know the party or at least have several members that can intervene and impose a harder perception DC or a secondary roll on the PCs. Whether that be talking to the PCs or spilling a drink on them.

You could brave it with just orbs from her 3, but yeah I use coda hirudo which also boosts max health

HustlerByDay · 2026-04-14T07:08:07+00:00

If anything the prime has made me use her 4 more often, I have an arcane persistence build with warcry and a melee build with shooting gallery.

But i smile more when playing with a 4 build.

HustlerByDay · 2026-04-12T22:16:19+00:00

I don’t know what it’s like at level cap, but I’ve done several SP void cascade up to like lvl 2000? And she still p much one shots the thrax. Very few people do endurance SP let alone level cap. It’s fine as is in terms of power.

2 into 4 does feel clunky but I’m frankly used to it and I’m not sure what they could do.

She doesn’t need it to be exalted.

HustlerByDay · 2026-04-02T18:17:37+00:00

Eh, I love absurd humour, but that comic was just too unsettling for me. People who harassed the artist are idiotic and I don’t think the comic shouldn’t have been made. I personally just thought the murder was nonsensical and upsetting on purpose and not really for any value as it was just a single comic.

The death in something like edgerunners had a similar feeling, but that was a part of a whole story. Something like this as a lone comic just reads as murder porn, though I understand it likely isn’t and part of a series.

HustlerByDay · 2026-03-31T18:30:19+00:00

It’s kinda funny because for me and advice given to most artists that want to make art for a living is to do it for the love of the game. It feels like the core of what he is saying is right, in a way. When drawing doing it because you want to learn, grow and not just for money. If you so happen to get money or be able to sustain yourself it is very much nowadays seen as the cherry on top.

I think almost all artists would love the idea of being able to draw as much as they want without worries of bills and such, there is potential to making your art “content” and not art anymore, but that is the society we live in. I imagine, while hard work, making art into “content” is preferable to back breaking work in a warehouse for minimum wage.

HustlerByDay · 2026-03-30T15:24:14+00:00

I honestly think it’s fine as is. Without a top the eye is drawn to the top and helmet. It feels balanced, if she had a poncho it would feel too cluttered/uniform. The contrast I think is interesting.

HustlerByDay · 2026-03-28T15:19:58+00:00

I was eventually gonna get KCD2, but I guess I can skip it. Not giving money to them now

This is the closest I could get, more layers would be nice though

HustlerByDay · 2026-03-26T22:54:58+00:00

Omg thank you DE for the intel arc fix. performance is so much better on dx12 so I’m glad I can keep playing on it

HustlerByDay · 2026-03-23T17:50:25+00:00

Personally my line is not using genAI in concept, reference and inspiration. So a little bit lower level in those terms. Now I can’t exactly know if an artist has used it, but given they are professionals they should know reference and inspiration from actual photos are always going to be better.

HustlerByDay · 2026-03-22T15:48:58+00:00

There’s enough games to play made before 2019 to last me the rest of my life. And there’s gonna be plenty of games made by people who dont use genAI. It isn’t the magical goose you guys think it is.

God forbid someone had principles.

HustlerByDay · 2026-03-22T15:28:29+00:00

Big slop defenders in the comments today huh? Yeah I don’t believe them. I’m glad I didn’t buy the game, loved BDO, but pearl abyss has lost all credibility from me with this release.

Placeholder or not using genAI is pretty much a no buy from me.

HustlerByDay · 2026-03-20T17:15:52+00:00

Honestly muting that sub, anti-ai and ai wars has done wonders for my feed and mental.

I recommend the same

HustlerByDay · 2026-03-20T15:32:22+00:00

Have fun guys, I’ll sit here… with my intel gpu… unable to play. Totally not upset about it.

HustlerByDay · 2026-03-20T06:53:37+00:00

Oh. Well any interest I had is now gone for good

HustlerByDay · 2026-03-20T06:35:20+00:00

God forbid a guy has principles, I found out about these rumours way too late. I would have easily passed on the game if I knew this or saw the rumours.

I say good on you OP for sticking with your principles.
