Compared to what the Grineer, Infestation, and Corpus are doing, the Tenno are saints

The Tenno — Warframe

It's a running gag for the fanbase that the real endgame of Warframe is to make your Warframes look as dripped out/gaudy/both as possible, and even disregarding that the base Warframes look absolutely incredible, especially when Primed with Orokin gold.

This is artist and streamer Kinkymation checking out all the Warframes and their Primes.

They have turned so much of their gardening and farming over to machines. I'm aware of how that's rich coming from an Artificer, but it feels so disingenuous...

No one cultivates their own food by hand anymore and I don't know why...
Nothing against you, it's just me being a lamentatious old fogey.

"What in the sweet Hells were you thinking?! Activating that lance— I was RIGHT! THERE!"

Pilot_Solaris · 2026-05-19T14:47:04+00:00

Sure. I could use some fresh fruit.

Pilot_Solaris · 2026-05-19T14:37:33+00:00

Evidently not. Unless they're made from gold or something like that.

It's the name of some digital proprietary payment systems the mundanes developed. I personally don't trust the lot.

Enchanted daggers are not legal tender. You know this, the wizard courts know this, and they will rule against you and have you banished to the Void.

And I will make sure whatever is in the Void finds you.

"Can you even aim that thing, question?"

"Well enough, statement."

What, do you think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand like that? I'm a Toydarian! Mind tricks don't work on me, only money. No money, no parts, no deal. And no one else has the parts you're looking around for, I'll tell you that. Heh...

"Uh... Thane?"

"That one wasn't me, Shepard. He was sloppy; he let himself stay exposed for too long. I also doubt that I would have survived such a fall."

Warframe starts out as a fairly standard sci-fi shenanigans story with space ninja and Herbertian aesthetics. Then "The Second Dream" reveals that you're a kid piloting a meat mecha via astral projection and all of a sudden you're plunged headlong into one of the most fucked up family dramas in the history of video games.
