Didn't realize Cetus had stuff I needed to do, in order to unlock the railback. Anyways, what times are usually on, might try to get some group stuff done later tonight or tomorrow.
Also, have mixed views of Duviri. Need to see if the random odds and ends I pick up in the open world are useful for anything. At the very least, now that I have a better understanding of the Duviri puzzles, will probably farm those off and on, since I think the currency from them would let me get some useful items. Just not sure if there is much point in running Duviri outside of doing some of the puzzles for the currency or to see if I can rng into a warframe or weapon, that I want to try out. I'll admit, I have completed the scenario outside of the first quest, so haven't checked to see what rewards that offers, probably should look that up; especially, given the time commitment it involves.
In the adult timeline I don't know why Callie has apparently withheld a letter that explained the tape from her parents. Are they setting her up to have been trying to get rid of her mom or something? Callie is still one of our top three suspects for Lottie's death (if Lottie's death wasn't just an accident, since paranoia over coincidences is the culprit for most of the troubles in the adult timeline).
In the teenage timeline, I have no idea how Shauna is going to keep everyone from leaving. She currently has 3 people on her side, and the only weapon seems to be an axe. There are currently 12 on the other side, and they have a rifle and a crossbow.
Yeah, some will probably defect to Shauna's side, but the ones holding the rifle and the crossbow are absolutely on Team Get the Hell Out of Here.
The only way I can see them keeping everyone there is if someone instantly kills or maims Kodi at the start of the next episode, since he's the one who can guide them out. Alternatively they'd have to pull some shit like Kodi is secretly a serial killer that was going to lead them all to their deaths or something.
We did get the impression that Kodi is lying about his whole deal, so presumably he'd need to live long enough for that to get revealed, but I don't think he's a secretly a serial killer or anything. I'd expect more of a John Locke from Lost reveal where he's just some accountant or something that fantasizes about being a rugged wilderness man.
On one side you have:
A dozen Yellowjackets who want to leave but at least half of them are scared due to fears of their deeds being discovered or the wilderness not letting them. Tai and Lottie are on the extreme ends of those two fears and they'll probably rally toward them.
Shauna is currently on team Incredible Violence and is trying to control her world after a short life of being second banana paired with a big heap of traumas. She clearly resented who she was before the crash and now she just seems to resent everything and everyone, generally.
Honestly as things have progressed anyone thinking they were going to talk things out with her after finding her in the pantry with a knife either has too high of an opinion of themselves or isn't playing with a full deck

I'm all for making the Owen more of a main event tournament than using it to elevate midcarders. Especially since you're giving away a title shot at All In with the win.

There's a vendor in Duviri that sells outside bits and bobs for inside bits and bobs, including a Warframe. Also once you get further you'll eventually unlock a mode where you can earn weapon upgrades that require Duviri mats to build, that's a ways down the road though m

You think the a third-rate National Inquirer is gonna scoop that story without Jon knowing about it and turning them into a Jackson Pollock homage?
Jon fucked off to go make a new universe. He was never portrayed as omniscient, as evidenced by the fact he didn't know about Laurel's father, or how he got blindsided with the cancer thing.
Wasn’t Adrian doing some handwave science thing to stymie his omniscience?
Its a common bit of silliness in a lot of tv but I thought it was funny in reacher how many times agencies or police go to arrest like an arms dealer or do a sting operation on an arms deal with like 2-5 guys. In real life they use 5 guys to arrest a university student, im pretty sure the ATF would have more than 5 guys for an arms deal
Also they all operate with zero back up or anyone wondering what happened to them if they all get killed
Trump is now directly demanding French companies in the US comply with his anti DEI bullshit which is fun because I work for one of those big French companies who are still doing DEI stuff.
So I'm very interested (mildly terrified) in how this is going to shake out.
Like, we are one of the top 10 biggest French companies in the US. We did about $11.5 billion in sales in 2024. We have contracts with the federal government including the DoD. We employ nearly 10,000 people in South Carolina and roughly 23,000 across the US and Canada.
This is a big fucking fight to pick and I imagine he's going to try and lean on our shit government to pressure us. I just don't know who's going to win out. We've been here since the 70's with our NA headquarters here since like, the 80's? We've been a MAJOR part, I'm talking tent pole staple, of this states economy for 40+ years.
At best we lose our federal contracts, which I don't really deal with and have zero idea of how much of our bottom line that makes up.
Fuckin sick of this shit.
Swiss pharma giants Roche and Novartis already removed their DEI policies some days ago
also, all those Drifter Intrinsic points are worth Mastery XP, and there's 5 or 6 melee weapons you can unlock by spending the currency you get for finishing a Duviri Experience/Story run
And there's the Circuit mode, that gives an alternate (quite often faster) way to get warframe main blueprints and component blueprints

He did, but even then it felt more like Jon went with it only because he already knew he went with it in the future rather than actually being completely blindsided.
In any case, I think we are currently getting a harsh lesson in how "people uniting against a common threat" only works until the generation that directly experienced the horrors dies out.
Watching Amadeus for the first time in a long while. It remains a sumptuous feast for the eyes and ears.
I dunno what the greatest single performance in a movie might be, but F. Murray Abraham’s Salieri has to be right up there. An astounding piece of work. A resentful, conniving, manipulative, malevolent, jealous, pathetic monster.
I remember seeing The Name of the Rose at the cinema two years after Amadeus, and Abraham plays a perfectly good, enjoyable villain in that one - but after Salieri, his Bernardo Gui felt lacking. If I'd seen the two films in opposite order, I would've enjoyed Abraham's performance in The Name of the Rose just fine, but his Salieri biased me unfairly against him playing a standard, one-dimensional villain well.

Yeah, saw the circuit and spend several hours just getting tier 10 for trinity. Not sure if that is a worthwhile frame, but I have the blueprints for the whole thing now.

"A shared threat unites us" feels like "hard times make strong men": a truism that everyone takes as given despite all evidence pointing to the exact opposite.
In fact I'd go even further with the counter example: people don't need to die out. 9/11 was supposed to be that big event but it turns out, that not only is shared hate of a made up enemy not helpful to making us all like each other, it actually makes things worse because hate is not a basis for forming friendships or alliances.
The Fallow guys make fantastic content, but every time they post a thumbnail where they're looking directly into the camera, it's like a guy who's been glaring at you from the other side of the bar since your group walked in, you swear you've never seen this dude before in your life, but somehow you just know the second you go past him to get to the bathroom he's gonna try to start some shit
I think there is a fundamental difference between being collectively traumatized by a handful of fellow men and the hand of God sweeping millions of people off the globe in anger. I highly prefer the movie ending where Manhattan is the perceived threat, but I think the psychic element might have added the final layer to the plan to make it believable. It's one thing to suspect you've angered a deity and another to know beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Either way, the thought experiment isn't about whether or not it works. You're supposed to take it as a given that it does and wrestle with the question of what you would do if you knew the truth. Is justice worth sacrificing peace? I think I would stand with Dan, paralyzed and impotent.
I guess my perception of the movie was flavored by having already been spoiled on the premise from the comic, where my understanding was that it was framed as "mankind will unite to defend against the aliens and in the meantime realize the futility of war". So the movie just seemed to swap in Dr. Manhattan as that external threat that they would unite to fight (not knowing that fighting him would have basically been impossible).
If they had framed the situation more as "play nice or the moon god will destroy everything", that might have made more sense but would have kind of removed the question of whether to tell people "the truth". Because Dr. Manhattan playing along meant that even if he didn't actually do the nuclear attack, the threat is real anyway.

It’s maybe the only thing Snyder did right, changing the ending so it was the threat of Jon’s wrath instead of just some dead fake aliens
