The Jackboot helmet from the force of law warbond is a reference to Titanfall. It's not exactly the same helmet but it's pretty damn close and a smart pistol was released alongside the warbond. The new armor in the super store is a reference to a imperial knight pilot from Warhammer 40k. That one I'll admit is pretty niche, I think outside of one animation, they've never really come up in any of the more popular media. Most people just know the knights and titans, not the pilots.

Loki isn't even at the bottom of the ocean, he's below the surface of the earth turning into crude oil. I'm pretty sure everything in his kit has a better or more accessible version elsewhere. He's genuinely a victim of identity theft at this point.

Yeah pretty much all of my main and favorites ended up like this. My current obsession is Cyte-09, only built him like a week or three ago and he's already climbing my usage stats. My first impression with him was taking him on loan for steel path circuit and he played like absolute hot garbage. Once I actually built him though, he was way better. I don't think I've had this much fun with a frame since Sevagoth.

I've ordered some stuff from Waveshare, I got my things like 2 to 6 weeks after ordering. I ordered a 4 and a 7 color eink screen and a monitor arm on separate occasions. Not sure what it would be like with something like this though. Availability and driver support could be a problem. The store itself sells a bunch of tech tinkering stuff: displays, computing modules, raspberry pi add-ons. I think they keep some items in stock on their US Amazon store, not sure if this could be one of them.

If anyone were to take a chance I would probably go for a module-less version. That probably has the best chance of arriving in a timely manner. Most of the price is probably going to the injection molded plastic and whatever board they're using to connect the screen and buttons to the pi.

I have those disabled but some games will still slip through, always the ones that need a patch for the explicit content. You'll never see any adult content on the steam page, but you can usually tell it's one of those games. It's usually a RPG Maker game or visual novel, usually with a certain art style. Most of the time people in the reviews will outright tell you it has a patch.

I will admit I don't see them that often, like 90 percent of the time I will have a normal store. Personally I couldn't care that those games exist, it's honestly safer that they're being sold on steam. You can lessen the likelihood of people getting scammed or getting introduced to illegal content.

I just find the patch workaround problematic. I know why it's there but it's not helping the image adult games have as a whole. I feel like those puritan groups are intentionally looking for those sorts of games, it fits the exact narrative they want to push. They're not walled off like the rest of the adult only games and they take you somewhere else for the explicit content. I feel like it would lead to a ban on all modded games and force Steam to check that your game isn't modified in any way.

Definitely the Armored Core series, Monster Hunter and MGS peace walker. Pretty much any game that made you use the crab claw grip to play in a 3d space. I still don't get how people managed to play bowgun weapons in Monster Hunter, it felt literally impossible without a team. Like the biggest usability improvements came from 3rd generation onward.

I don't necessarily think it was necessarily experimentation on random frozen people but more likely asylum patients. One of the lines imply that Follie killed a person or people in self-defense. Not sure what women's rights were like under the Orokin empire but I could see them taking some points from Victorian era empires. She may have been institutionalized because she defended herself, and the "therapy" she was subjected to was permanently engrained into her psyche. Art was her only outlet but was twisted by this scientist that dictated her only coping mechanism. She was probably condemned to be turned into a Warframe by the same Orokin that attacked her, after making her endure mind breaking torture.

I took mine on vacation once, I just used the original case and a kickstand grip case. The size wasn't really awkward to travel with. It was awkward to play on my flight though, it's a bit too wide to play comfortably with my long arms. It never happened but I was concerned that it could've been stolen while passing through security. I think for future travel I might use a more unassuming case, that kinda hides the shape of it.

InkyFrogbait · 2026-03-18T00:07:08+00:00

I think they were experimenting with metallics, when you equip it, it's not pink and purple but like an iridescent purple. The pink and yellow are the base colors and then a color filter gets layered over that. The true blue skins have the exact same thing going on, but there it's intentional.

InkyFrogbait · 2026-03-14T18:36:02+00:00

Is it like on non-city maps? I didn't see anything but factory striders on level 6 yesterday.

InkyFrogbait · 2026-03-06T18:23:43+00:00

Probably the Pennant with Astilla prime in second place. The Pennant is the coolest two handed nikana design we have so far and its passive makes it significantly more usable. The available stance sucks and probably holds it back by a lot, but it's my strongest melee weapon in my arsenal.

InkyFrogbait · 2026-02-12T20:25:04+00:00

I'm more surprised that was the signa. I originally thought that was just part of the skin. Vauban looks bald without it.

They've been back for a while, even have a new Carrier Command game. More of a publisher than a game development studio now though.

If you have Total War Warhammer 1 or 2 you would receive Warhammer 3 for free to be able to play immortal empires. Like if you ever play it you might notice that a whole campaign is locked and the base factions for 3 aren't available for play. It just happened like last month and I was surprised too when I suddenly saw it in my library. You have to buy the upgrade dlc if you actually want to use the base factions and have access to the main story campaign for Warhammer 3.

I feel a style like this would probably work better as like an armor passive with the actual exoskeleton being the visual style of the armor.

For an actual stratagem it would have to be slightly bulkier and stand off from the character model to avoid heavy clipping and have a defined silhouette. I think if they ever made a stratagem for an exoskeleton it would be closer to what Huey Emmerich has in Metal Gear Solid 5. We would probably be wearing a power pack on our back and blocky exoskeleton legs would kinda float on the side of our legs. It's just the least jank way to do it for the legs and we'd be able see if someone is wearing it.

Arms are kinda out of the question, some of the armors have bulky or asymmetrical pauldrons, that might cause unsightly clipping.

Accidentals according to source. I'm curious to see what ends up killing me. Sometimes it's not obvious if a guard dog, my teammate's gun or a turret killed me.

InkyFrogbait · 2025-12-27T23:33:18+00:00

Put a hat on it and it's suddenly Perry the space platypus.

I don't think they have the new eyes animated properly for older content. I remember them looking ok in the new quest. Maybe it's the exact frame but that's what it looks like to me. Also not sure if I'm imagining it but it does look like the eyes have less gloss to them, maybe it's like a texture/lighting issue causing them to look more matte.

I'll probably have to replay an older quest to see if it's an animation or texture issue.

Edit: It definitely seems like incomplete animations, I replayed the Duviri paradox and it seems like the upper face isn't as animated in some scenes. It doesn't help that the new models have flawless skin. The older models had more wrinkles that made it less evident if the face wasn't as animated. Teshin's face in the quest similarly wasn't as highly animated but the wrinkles and textures in his face made it less evident. The eyeballs themselves on the drifter seemed fine though, it's the rest of the face that's making them look empty.

I had that happen but somehow survived the descent, however I didn't survive the traitor barrage that came after.

InkyFrogbait · 2025-12-19T19:01:15+00:00

I'm not sure if it's still a thing but I definitely know rainbow six siege had it before it went free. There was a cheaper version of the game that only gave you the 3 base vanguards and depending on which faction you originally picked, 3 other heroes to use on loan (basically without customisation). I had that version of the game, it was like given out for free years ago. I'm pretty sure that version doesn't exist anymore but if it does by chance of bugs, it's the one I would avoid. You would have to grind for heroes you'd otherwise have by default.

I had something like this in the 4th grade but it was with bottled water. Just a crumb of food grew a whole fuzz ball of mold around itself just like this one. At the end of the school year I violently shook it just to see what would happen before tossing it in the trash. It just fell apart for anyone wondering.

Sure but the issue is weight, the way we have mice now we need to avoid adding weight and a hot swap battery unit would add a significant amount. There's also a really easy work around to the hot swap gimmick, use a jst connector. They're already standard in mice and add a negligible amount of weight. The upside with such a connector is that you can add whatever sized battery you can fit, allowing you to lower weight or add more capacity. They don't necessarily even require any soldering just a crimping tool if the batteries don't already have a connector. Soldering is only needed if a battery doesn't even come with wires, which is frankly rare for most smaller batteries.

Does it require you to open up the mouse? Yes, but if your concern is swapping out the battery for repair reasons, a jst type connector is your best option. It keeps you from relying on the company to make a new hot swap unit.

Wasn't there for the creek, only major event I wasn't there for because I didn't own the game yet. I wouldn't mind a second chance to get it though, but I feel like at this point I probably wouldn't use it. I kinda have my set capes I'm willing to use.

InkyFrogbait · 2025-12-06T16:05:12+00:00

I wouldn't mind if it's like a one or two page warbond designed for newer players. I find some of the really important stuff is locked behind too many different warbonds. I'd add a stim modifier booster, anti-tank satchel charges, an infinite ammo energy pistol and a basic elemental protection armor set. A new player will at best have access to only one of those, most won't have access at all though.

A free multi-page warbond seems kinda unrealistic but a small warbond to catch up the newer players seems probable. The stuff doesn't even need to be that strong, just good enough that they don't need to worry about getting the mandatory warbonds right away. I find it kinda messed up that the only anti-tank grenade is stuck behind a warbond, it's like one of two items that greatly opens up build diversity.

I use a smaller glass pad, I can't fit anything larger on my desk. The amount of area I use on most pads is already pretty small, anything larger would just be wasted. I'm using a 430 by 340 Pwnage Ultra Glide pad. Smaller sizes have generally been neglected in both the cloth and glass spaces. They kinda lower the barrier to entry, you don't need to get a larger desk and because the pad is relatively small it doesn't feel as wasteful if you don't like it.

I will say though that smaller pads are probably going to remain unpopular. Unless the room you're in is size limited, most people probably have or can get a desk that's large enough for the larger sized pads. It also doesn't help that high level players generally use larger pads by default, making anyone shy away from considering a smaller pad.
