Of course. Some representation is better than no or bad representation.
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.
Yes, I did this to get there for the Bennett event. I'd only just entered Sumeru.
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.
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.....)
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.
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.
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.
seems like all games anymore are either 2-0 or 6-5 after a penalty shootout
A miserable pile of intrinsics.
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.
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.
He also does interviews with various singers/musicians etc to have them react to video game music. It's good stuff.
Ah, right, I forgot about that. I bagged quite a lot from there, but you need(ed?) to be moderately obsessive to take the most advantage from it.
This round of Nightwave ends in 20 hours. So if you haven't cashed out you better do so. Stat.

Thank you, you beautiful angel, I forgot to log in to do the hunt last week so I'd have totally missed that it was ending. I put almost all of it off until just now because this is the way
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.

Managed to get thoae 3 of Nora's stuff right as it switched on. Cannot look it up to see what I unlocked
Short my ass. This Nora season's been here fooooorrrreeeevvvvveeeeerrrr. So long I truly stopped paying attention for most of it.
So then I capital-g Grinded my way through from Rank 12 to 30 in the last 48 hours of the season.
Screw you, deadlines!
Nora's Mix 1&2 were both significantly shorter and Mix 3 was slightly shorter (170 days)
