Reading: Little bit of this, little bit of that. Currently working my way through the latest book in a guilty pleasure LitRPG series I read called Awaken Online by Travis Bagwell. Yeah, it's effectively isekai trash done by an American author, but it's actually a fun read.
Watching: Since we moved my wife's cell phone back over to Verizon, the bill includes a free Disney+ subscription. As such, I've been working my way through the MCU TV shows I missed out on last year and couldn't be bothered to bootleg. WandaVision is actually pretty decent, but I'm just waiting for how bad Falcon & Winter Soldier is supposed to be. Other than that, it's been mainly nature documentaries or old stuff like Psych, Burn Notice, Leverage, Warehouse 13, and Monk
Playing: My one woke-dev game I allow myself is Warframe, so I've been playing that as my primary. Beyond that I'm going to be looking at some newer stuff I picked up on the Steam sale, like Outriders, God Eater 3, and Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark.
Same here. As much as I hate DE's personal politics leeching over into their professional side of things, I've been playing the game since 2017 and I keep coming back for more. Now if I could just get the damn Necramech gun parts I need to drop, I could quit farming Deimos for the rest of eternity and be happy with it.
I have played through TNW, and I really wish they would have given us the option to replay it out of the gate rather than making us wait for it, because I'd like to be able to re-run through it and draw a few conclusions on my own rather than rewatching content creators' captures of it.
Part of me feels like it opened a lot more doors to questions than it answered, and part of me feels like it was just a way for them to weave in an easy out for future plot inconsistency. They've basically introduced a way to handwave it as "lol multiverse" whenever something doesn't match up in-continuity.
I feel like they've made Wally a much larger threat that we ever realized, and at the same time tied him to being the source of all Void-based stuff, so it'll be interesting to see where they take it.
I do like the introduction of The Drifter, but I'm still annoyed by them not taking the time to update Operator outfits to work with the Drifter body. Same annoyance goes for them not paying much attention to Male Operator hair and face options, but that's been a beef of mine for forever.
It's going to be interesting to see how the whole Multiverse thing is going to work in with Duviri being the next open-world section.
All in all, it was a fun diversion for the holidays, but once again it's back to farming those 4% drop chances, so all in all I guess I'm getting what I'm (not) paying for. :D
I think I needed a stock, but I'd have to log on and check my inventory. Shoot me a friend request next time you're online, I'm [REDACTED - PM me for info] over there, too. Maybe we can meet up, swap, and run a couple missions.
Drifter without Void powers was a mixed bag for me. It would have been nice if they'd told us the smoke bomb could obscure the Deacons' line of sight. It took me more attempts than I care to admit to get through Nu-Fortuna because of that - my dumb ass figured "They're special enemies, they'll be able to see through it". Other than that, I liked his power set. It was a nice change from stumbling around as the kid.
They definitely did our boy Teshin dirty. I may not have liked him, but he didn't deserve to go out like a bitch. Plus, now who the hell is Varzia going to lust over with him gone?
I figure they're probably weighing the options on how many man-hours it's going to take to re-rig all of the Kiddo outfits to fit Drifter versus the community outcry if they either 1) don't do it or 2) try to make us re-buy all of it. You know the shit's going to hit the fan if they don't do it, but it's really going to hit the fan if they try to make us do a re-buy or split Tennogen accessories off so they're either for one or the other, but not both.
I really want that grapple glaive mechanic for our existing frames. It would open up so many more movement options it wouldn't even be funny. I hate to admit it, but it took me longer than it should have to figure out how to match Teshin's energy abilities against the attacking Sentient. I figured we'd have to go round robin and switch out like we do with the Frames, rather than just playing "match the colors". While I found the character of Kahl the most intriguing, I wasn't really that engrossed by his gameplay - it felt a bit more Gears of War than Warframe, and we've all played that before. Veso-R had an interesting gimmick, but it would have been nice to have had more combat with his pets than what we were able to mix up. I'd like to see them do more multi-faction stuff in the future. I think it'd be a nice change from the usual frantic "mow down the horde and leap through the level" gameplay.
