This home screen theme isn't my style, but I like how customized it is!
  • A perfect example of “give the people what they think they want, and they’ll make something entirely unusable.”

  • Weekly Warframe: Dagath
  • Might want to also mention where Vainthorn is found, for those who need to actually build her.

    I don’t understand anyone who runs Dagath without her signature Dorrclave. Free life steal and pure slash to go with all her viral.

  • Coming on three weeks now, and no actual help with this.

  • Weekly Warframe: Kullervo
  • main thing I want to say is to point out that Prova rivens are dirt cheap.

    Get one and roll it for crit damage. Then slap on [static discharge] and build Kullevo with the Mecha set and you can triple coat everything in the room with damage from his single target kill. (Collective Curse + Mecha Target + Static Discharge) and one more time if you run Melee Influence.

  • Pineapples
  • They’re ripe when they turn yellow.

    Got my first one this summer from a top I cut off a store bought pineapple maybe years ago. Home grown, from my single example, has a more subtle flavor with hints of vanilla and much less acid.

  • I need a bit of Wisp propaganda.
  • I take another tack with Wisp’s passive invis, one that recently got much stronger with the changes to damage.

    Death from Above Wisp floats about until she finds a group of enemies, then slams down onto them with a Corrupt Charge heavy attack with a Hammer modded for slams. Much death, and then she jumps right back up into the air—and is invisible again. Aero mods, Aerodynamic and an Anti-grav Array Moa make her have silly amounts of hang time.

  • I’m at the point where I’m convinced you’re being willfully dense.

  • Did you READ the original article??

    Are you being intentionally dense?

  • The Dangerous Illusion of a Presidential Third Party in 2024
  • Did you even READ the original linked article?

    Seems like not.

    Voting third party is the same as voting for Trump. THAT'S the effect that third party votes have. You're deluding yourself if you think they have any other effect in this upcoming election.

  • The Dangerous Illusion of a Presidential Third Party in 2024
  • These days swing states are more likely to have third party candidates because in the current case, both third party candidates are supported by MAGA millionaires who want them to spoil the election.

  • The Dangerous Illusion of a Presidential Third Party in 2024
  • If they aren’t the same in their view, they they would be sensible to care about which wins. They have a stake in a less harmful result.

    But literally throwing away their vote on a third party, they are inflicting harm on themselves, the electorate, and the world.

  • The Dangerous Illusion of a Presidential Third Party in 2024
  • It’s pretty weird to insist on a course of action that won’t result in something you want. If you think both parties are the same, you’re wildly misinformed.

  • The Dangerous Illusion of a Presidential Third Party in 2024
  • This is mind-bogglingly weird. I’ll never understand it.

  • That’s not bright of you. You going to clutch your pearls as Trump is inaugurated?

    How about when he carries you off to a camp?

  • Jill Stein delivers scathing response to Harris-Trump debate and urges Green alternative
  • Bet she also “urges” withdrawing support from Ukraine.

  • Undecided voters give Harris a look — but not a commitment — after the debate
  • Last night’s CNN interviews with undecided PA voters made me want to weep for the electorate.

    So many of them really were clueless.

  • Legendary/High-MR Tenno: How do you do it?
  • You can get all the way to LR4 without leveling a single K-drive. I did.

  • Legendary/High-MR Tenno: How do you do it?
  • Always keep in mind that ideally, you should be doing two things at once when you’re doing something. Working lich murmurs? Be sure to do the excavation mission for cryotic to get that Sibear. Grinding XP in ESO? Be sure to stay to wave 8’s end, to get a chance at Braton Vandal and Lato Vandal.

    And on a different note, to avoid burnout don’t do the same void-damned thing over and over and over. When grinding for Old Mate standing with Fortuna, I’d start each day with a bounty, and end the day with another. If a clan mate wanted to run some of them during the day, great, I’d do that. But I did not spend 3 hours running the same bounty over and over.

    If the only sensible place to get something means you have to grind the same mission over and over, vary the gear you use for it so it becomes more interesting. This is what I did grinding for Harrow Systems back when its best drop chance was a dismally low number from Saturn Defection. You hate the game going to the same mission with the same gear over and over. So I tried most every frame to see if things that weren’t the meta for defection would work, and to my delight discovered that several are quite good at it.

    And finally, I hope you have a good, social clan that likes helping. If you don’t, maybe I can fix that.

  • Ubuntu on an Intel MacBook Pro-how to get trackpad to work?

    Pretty much the title. I’ve got an old (circa 2012) MacBook Pro with no screen that’s running Ubuntu, but since day one of the install it has never recognized the touchpad. I’ve been using it with an external mouse, which works, but it’s much less convenient and elegant than if I had even basic touchpad use.

    Any ideas on how I might make this work?

    V2H in the US??

    I think I've done my research, but damn if I can find what I'm looking for in the US. Even talked to my installer, who had nothing.

    From what I can tell, my sole option for V2H, using the vehicle's batteries to back up the house, is the Ford Lightning. Maybe the Mach-E?

    In fact, what I'd actually like is a CAR. Not a crossover, not a SUV. An actual CAR.

    • The Lightning is WAAAY too much "car" for me.
    • Best I can tell, Polestar is only "testing" V2anything.
    • Kia/Hyundai only has V2L.
    • Volkswagen ID4? I'm unclear.
    • Mini has nothing.
    • Leaf has something, but leaf is too little for being useful in terms of KwH.

    Again, I'm in the US. And I already have an Enphase solar install, so I can't totally switch to some other sort of turnkey soup to nuts solution. I don't have batteries for the house, and want a vehicle that can be that as well as a mode of transport.

    I'm also not an electrical engineer, so what that guy in this forum who built his own rack of components to make V2H work with his Ioniq is not something I can do.

    Any help?

    Entrati Lab tile set predictions!

    Don’t expect this to happen, but Cephalon Suda should have such a hard-on for Albrect’s lab that the Necralisk would be lousy with Synoid assault teams trying to figure out how to get in. If they DO get in, it will be our task to keep them from “investigating” the lab with Synoid Heliocors.

    The labs look big, and there will be a lot to explore. Almost certainly, things to repair as well.

    Instead of Encrypted Journal Fragments or Thousand Year Fish, we’ll have to find Lost Floppy Disks.

    Instead of Corrupted Holokeys, we’ll have to find Serial to VGA Connectors.

    Rather than hunting for Void Plumes, we must have Albrecht’s Nice Parker Pen. We only need one, but it has a 99.98% drop rate on Rotation C.

    Dropping on Rotation C with a heartbreaking 0.02% chance: the Legendary CD-ROM Reader upgrade.

    Failing a mission will result in the Blue Screen of Void. Available on all platforms!

    Somehow it didn’t make the cut-off for the update, but I’m sure DE has a blade and whip skin featuring a Ethernet cable tied to a Swiss Army CyberTool.

    And the great mystery of the update, to be revealed in Echos of Whispers: How the CPU fan is full of cat hair even though Kalimos is hairless.

    International, LGBTQIAP+ friendly clan seeks social Tenno of any rank

    We became the Void Orphans because we wanted an emphasis on fun, learning, and social interaction. We don’t recruit randomly, preferring to know that a new member will fit our vibe.

    That vibe is friendly, helpful, social, and tolerant of all kinds of people who are also tolerant. (If you’re the sort of person who thinks it’s OK to use “That’s gay” pejoratively, move along. Racists can fuck right off. )We are an eclectic bunch of men and women from six+ different countries and don’t have time for racists or the intolerant. LGBTQBP welcome! Also, the clan Elder named his rail jack the Starry Plow and if you know what that refers to without looking it up, you’re definitely our kind of people.

    While the core of the clan is MR21+ all the way to Legendary 3, we specifically seek lower MR players looking for some guidance and assistance in this massively complex game. We’re happy to point you on the right road to farming, getting frames, modding, whatever. And while there’s a definite culture of “oh hey, you like the [weird weapon] and I don’t, you want this riven for it?” we want you to achieve things on your own, with our help. And our focus is on fun, not being meta. You want to main Zephyr? Great, I do too. Let’s talk in clan chat :) In fact, you’ll probably annoy us if you exclusively are a Zoom & Boom meta player in clan squads.

    We’re a Storm clan with about 60 members, and have no plans to ever exceed Storm size though we would ultimately like to be around 20 regularly active Orphans. We know that new games happen, and new content in other games, so we don’t have an inactivity kick policy.

    Void Orphans has a fine dojo with a restrained aesthetic and convenient layout, 0% trade tax, a clan badge that’s clear, visible and fashion frame compatible, players who are active every day, and leadership by consensus. Our discord server is the place to discuss plans, to get a sense of how we do things, and to contribute your thoughts. There is no authoritarian nonsense, no edicts imposed from above, no mandated donations to the clan vault. Instead there’s a communal discussion of what short and long term goals to work toward and how to achieve them, and a “hey MR5, do you need a hand doing this week’s RailJack missions? I’ll host.” tradition.

    A mic is not required, but would be very, very handy. I’ll even say preferred.

    Sound like your kind of people? Message the poster, Mpeach45, here. I’ll get you a discord link to start, and let you know how to reach us in the Origin System. Please be 18+ and in some time zone where your play hours overlap at least a little with UTC +5 (US Eastern Time)

    Covert Bond is TERRIBLE on the very builds it should be best for

    Covert Bond should be for stealth frames, right?

    Yeah, don’t do that.

    Covert Bond makes sentinels feel invincible and they go ham all the time it is active. This alerts enemies right in the middle of your stealth mission. Even putting Hush et al on the sentinel won’t help because sentinel weapons are too weak to kill in one shot.

    Magnetize no longer kills pilots before they hit the ground

    I’ve used Mag probably a half a dozen times to unlock versions of this riven, and today, with 25 minutes of mission and about 8 Dargyns spawned, it did not work even once. Typically I get at least 75% success rate per time I get Magnetize around a flying pilot/ This time, every single pilot fell out of the magnetize bubble still screaming.

    Didn’t notice this in any patch notes, but then I didn’t read it that closely.

    Guess I’ll try the Tentacle Swarm trick, but that’s a LOT less common to be able to set up. On the plus side, the Hydroid rework suggests that once a pilot is in the tentacles, they WILL die off the ground. That was not a sure thing before.

    The Hostage is Where???

    A little extra fun during today’s sortie. Once 3 of us were at extraction, the hostage teleported there.

    Two dumb nerfs of Kullervo’s abilities
    1. Wrathful Advance’s teleport does not work reliably for going through lasers. Jupiter vaults fine, but Corpus ship lasers nope. This is just silly as he’s already not a great choice for spy missions.

    2. Recompense’s self damage can KILL Kullervo, but it DOES NOT trigger Hunter Adrenaline. Why? Kullervo loves to not have to run Zenurik, making Hunter Adrenaline a reasonable choice for him. In fact I run it on him even with it not being self-triggerable.

    In news of other odd design choices, I’ve found that this “I’m a dagger guy” warframe actually works best with… A sword and shield combo. Move forward with the block combo, parrying and triggering Adaptation while taking no damage. Just make sure everything behind you is already dead—which isn’t too tricky given Kullervo’s huge damage output.

    Wild caught salmon quality

    Anyone else disappointed recently with the quality of this fish?

    It has fine texture, but the flavor just isn't great. Maybe frozen too long?
