    Watching Attack of the Clones, the audience went absolutely apeshit when Yoda whipped out his lightsaber. It was like a pop for a WWE wrestler. People were on their feet, screaming their lungs out during his entire Dooku duel. The in the moment emotional reaction can be very different from the long term feelings a scene evokes. Some things are cool, but not well thought out.

    I'm super cynical but before we got the combined scene I started going "Why are none of the women heroes shown fighting in these scenes?". And then they showed them together for that moment and I went "uh that wasn't much, did they combine them all into 1 moment so they can just ignore them again?" It was a real sideeye moment for me but everyone seemed to love it, so who knows.

    Same with Attack of the Clones. So my high school senior English thesis was on piracy, and I managed to get a clip of the final fight in attack of the clones before it was in theaters. So as a visual aid/fuck high school moment, I showed the class that Yoda fight with only explaining "heres the end fight of the new star wars movie to give an example of speed and quality of releases". When Yoda force pulls his lightsaber off his belt? People lost their minds Closest I'll ever get to a 'everybody clapped' moment.

    I think they did a lot of build up of Windu/Yoda/Grevious before ep 2 and you really get nothing special out of any of them in the movie except the Yoda fight scene, which really, just kind of showed how dangerous Duku was.

    Widow dying in Endgame with that particular situation matches the character. If there is anybody who simply would not let Clint's family be without Clint, it would be Natasha.

    The problem is that she simply should not have died there. Natasha had been bigger and bigger pieces of movies about other heroes but the Snap had her really stepping up and leading. Character-wise, she deserved to lead up the Avengers following Endgame. Not to mention it was weird that the movie dedicates like fifteen minutes to Stark being dead and Natasha gets like a two-minute recap that yup, she's dead, move on with the movie.

    It just didn't sit right that Natasha had been with the franchise for almost the entire run up to that point and was the one that got ripped off for any kind of happy ending.

    If nothing else they should have had a scene between her and Hulk in the soul stone. At least let her know that they'd succeeded. Throw in something about there being 'no red on her ledger' at the end of it and call it good.

    No, not the Hulk. One of her victims from when she was an assassin. Preferably someone innocent who was caught in the crossfire. (The girl who became Taskmaster would have been perfect except.....)

    Well, the Hulk would have made sense as a mirror to Thanos and Gamora when he did his snap.

    Also it could have actually been the Hulk, not Professor Hulk, to give that character a real send-off because he basically got Tuvix'd out of existence. He doesn't even have to say anything, just sort of growl and stare at Natasha while she has her parting words.

    Eh, Natasha knows she wasn't the one calling the shots while she was an assassin, they were literally controlling her mind like Bucky. Unlike Bucky, she seems to have largely come to terms with that past and recognizes it was something done to her, not something she did. Don't see anything particularly interesting in having a second secret assassin struggling with a past during which they were mind-controlled and it wasn't their call anyway, I liked the fact that Natasha has simply arrived at different conclusions from that experience and doesn't live in her past like Bucky was doing.

    I don't think this is entirely true and I liked the contrast between the two. Natasha HAS in fact accepted that it was something done to her, but she was still the one doing it, and has spent all the time since actively trying to make up for it. Bucky on the other hand has only at best, just begun that journey. To be clear, for both of them, but arguably more for Bucky, it's a combination of both coming to terms with actions that he can remember doing, even if he wasn't TECHNICALLY in control, as well as trying to heal from the trauma of that.

    It’d kind of have to be the Hulk because he’s the one doing the snapping. Im calling it as a thing that always happens when you snap. One last gut punch from the soul stone.

    Nat had red in her ledger from the time after she escaped the mind control. Her guilt was earned, fair and square, unlike Bucky. She made some choices that haunted her and that's much more interesting than lamenting things you had no control over.

    Having a mirrored scene in the soul stone is a brilliant idea. At the very least, letting Nat know that she's responsible for bringing everybody back would have given her peace.

    So I said last thread I don't play anymore, so I haven't kept up a ton with Warframe news and missed that they released a second soundtrack, which I found out about just a few minutes ago from a random picture I saw on reddit. The first album was fuckin killer and I listen to it a LOT, so I picked this one up on Bandcamp immediately.

    My understanding of and competency in warframe is a loose structure of random ideas and constructs held together by stress and anxiety. It works surprisingly well but it's not great for passing on to new folks. Unless of course they like 7 layer digressions with tangents at every waveform collapse. I'm much better at making the gameplay super boring and lacking all risk than I am at helping someone else achieve it.

    IMO it's "just go do all the important-looking quests, then find a thing that looks interesting". Everything else is going to be shit like damage calculations and crit math which gets real weird.

    I've been playing for ages based on "ooh, shiny" mixed with the odd "ooh, a piece of candy!" and it seems fine so far.

    Let me see, based on my past experience (I left before the Duvari stuff)...

    First of all, this is a very grindy game, and you shouldn't play it unless you're willing to embrace that. You can spend premium currency to get weapons and other things earlier and faster, but you shouldn't. Play the game, get resources as they come, and let things bake. Everything that isn't purely cosmetic can be acquired in-game somehow, though you might need to wait longer for some than others.

    Progress through mastery ranks comes from doing everything, but especially through maxing out weapons and warframes. This means that you're going to need to get your hands on a ton of weapons and warframes, and use all of them. Unless you want to be in a constant cycle of throwing older things out, you'll need slots. THAT is what you should be spending all of your premium currency on, at least until you're invested enough in the game to care about cosmetics.

    Mods make up a huge chunk of your power. Unranked mods are basically worthless, so be sure to rank them up as much as you can afford. You can get the endo needed for ranking up mods by shredding other mods. As you grind through the game, you're going to build up a vast collection of spare duplicate mods that you don't care about. Burn them all, and feed their ashes to the ones that you do want.

    Weapons and frames have mod cost limits based on the extent to which you've mastered them, ranging up to 30 at full mastery. In addition, your personal mastery rank acts as a lower bound, meaning that the higher you raise your rank, the more mods that you can equip on things from the start. If you manage to reach a personal rank of 30, everything will always have their mod limits inherently maxed out from the start, though you'll still want to master them for other reasons.

    You can boost the mod caps in two ways, through Forma and through Orokin Catalysts/Reactors. Forma can be applied to fully mastered equipment, it resets the mastery rank to 0 but modifies one of the mod slots so that mods of a certain type placed into the slot will have their cost halved. You can keep doing this over and over as you remaster the equipment, modifying a different slot each time. Catalysts and Reactors can be applied at any time, and just flat out double the available mod budget. Combined with Forma doubling the value of slots, you can effectively pull up to a 120 mod budget if you put in enough effort.

    Forma are fairly trivial to farm, but Catalysts and Reactors are unfortunately much rarer. There's no reliable way to directly farm them, but you'll get a slow trickle if you pay attention to alerts and invasions. I never ended up doing so myself, but they're one of the few things besides slots that might be worth spending premium currency on.

    Stay out of Cetus for a while (and maybe Fortuna?). It isn't really for new players, and you'll just get confused by everything. Come back when you feel like you have a more full grasp on the "normal" game.

    Yup! That's one of the selling points - it is the main use of the dual injection system that RGs feature. They are very clear about being VERY careful when loosening the joints.

    Even these are available in the nightwave store. It's what I use ALL most of my nightwave credits on all the time. I've got more than 20 each after ONLY buying them with my NW credits for a while. For newer players they should do themselves a favor and buy them from there rather than paying for them. That being said the grind in either case is real. So spend your real world money OR spend your time (which is ALSO real world money).

    If you're willing to put the work in, the most efficient way is to buy auras for NW creds, market those for plat, then use the plat to buy the reactors.

    I like MarcoMeatball's channel. He's a former opera singer and absolutely a gamer nerd. Just to make it topical, here's him reacting to some Warframe.

    So I've been rolling a bit in Steel path with my Hydroid "I'm helping!" build.

    Ignis wraith, Aegrit (with fulmination) and a my Zaw two-handed hammer that I call "Pulp affliction". The key idea is to spread Hydroids tentacled bad touch everywhere (the alternative name for the build is "Warui-frame"*).

    Just make sure to put Prime surefooted on your warframe, tone down the energy colours (or nobody will see anything), tune the weapons for maximum status then spray acid everywhere and watch grineers go from hero to zero in a second or so. Plunder really turns up the damage (and your toughness), Tentacles are amazing for CC (and loot!) and Tidal Surge both gets you into and out of trouble.

    *If you want to max the tentacled touch theme, replace Aegrit with Ocucor (with the sentient surge mod). Infinite energy tentacles everywhere, although then the build becomes more about you killing stuff than a helpful support build.

    This nightwave started in late May (May 24th), which means it was up for 183 days. Meaning that the only Nighwave season that's been significantly longer than this one is Season 3: Glassmaker (which started in May 2020 and ended January 2021. I'm sure you can figure out why).

    Nora's Mix 1&2 were both significantly shorter and Mix 3 was slightly shorter (170 days)
