Besides your belief that there is no higher power, what are your thoughts on supernatural phenomena?
  • I've yet to find any such thing and those that have been presented to me tend to be in the 'we have insufficient information' category for why it can't be clearly determined what happened. People love to wedge the supernatural into those crevices in spite of still not being a good fit.

  • Seconding custard_swallower. Strict naturalism. I see no reason to believe in any supernatural claim of any kind.

    Relatively recently I had a new hypothesis for some of the feelings people attribute to hauntings; bad vibes. I know someone who smokes indoors in their home. Before I had purged supernatural beliefs of all kinds from my worldview I thought there was some kind of curse or haunting wrong with the place. No, it's the ill effects of third-hand smoke.

    Belief in non-theistic supernatural phenomena appears to be a crutch for theistic supernatural belief; it gives a convenient explanation for something so that you don't exercise your rational faculties to find the real reason and then have the kind of experience that can contribute to unraveling god-beliefs.

  • Besides your belief that there is no higher power, what are your thoughts on supernatural phenomena?
  • Supernatural phenomina could mean that psychics aren't shysters, that some magicians are defying physics, or ghosts are real. Doesn't necessarily have to mean there's a god somewhere. I don't believe in any of those things but that's how I read this question.

  • Was doing it all on PC. Kaldo was correct, this post was missing steps for someone who's been ignoring the ARG. Took care of it and now have the poster.

  • Thanks. ARGs really aren't my kind of puzzle. This has just been annoying trying to get the extrinsic reward from it.

  • Where on this site? I'm stabbing about in the dark trying to find where to insert these codes.

    Edit: Opened the wiki and followed the steps so far to unlock more documents. Still can't find where I'm mean to put these codes.

  • Person put up signs tell people not to kill people with cars. Police say that's criminal tampering.
  • They're very consistent about this. It's logically impossible for them to care less about the plight of the people. They've likely never cared to begin with or had conditioning over time to cease caring. No, their only concern is the continued profitability of their donors. No matter how many people that kills.

    E-cigs and legal weed could be competitors to legal cigarettes. You know the abhorrent fucking things so bad they've "banned" them from advertising but would you look at that, they're allowed to air PSAs about how bad they are... and make them so "incompetently" that they serve as advertisements for their vile product.

    They never have and never will care about us. So, why the fuck do we tolerate them?

  • Person put up signs tell people not to kill people with cars. Police say that's criminal tampering.
  • These people weather intentionally or not are just advocates for Human suffering. The more this goes on and the more blatant it becomes the less inclined I am to believe that they're useful idiots, rather that they are willing accomplices.

    On so many levels everything about our society needs to be burnt out. No one should tolerate our openly sadistic society.

  • Person put up signs tell people not to kill people with cars. Police say that's criminal tampering.
  • Yeah,

    I've taken to saying that we don't live in a great country, nor a good one, or even an acceptable one. No, what we have is one that should be put out of our collective misery.

  • Person put up signs tell people not to kill people with cars. Police say that's criminal tampering.
  • Just did some quick checking... it looks like the War on Terror as a whole averages well below the automotive catastrophe annually if we're looking at even the broad anti-terrorism coalition.

    • Everyone comes out to 45k
    • Everyone but terrorist combatants cuts that to 30.5k
    • Cutting terrorist combatants and civilians brings that to 10k

  • Person put up signs tell people not to kill people with cars. Police say that's criminal tampering.
  • Fuck decorum. I give negative damns about it given the extensive history of it being used as a shield to protect the facilitation of what amounts to mass murder. If dark skinned foreigners did ten percent the damage cars do we'd have used some of the nuclear arsenal but because it's fucking profitable innocent people die every day and little, if anything, is done about its root causes.

  • . . .
  • Yep, they've been answered but they're answered in bits and pieces from around the game so having these as canonical answers might be annoying to get if you don't review the lore often or have a mind that won't let things go.

    <On Tenno Death (Chains of Harrow quest)>

    Tenno can and have died. We're living... transhumans like the Orokin. Rell was a Tenno who didn't go into the Second Dream and had to take extreme measures for his presence to be maintained from the Old War to the Chains of Harrow quest and post Chains of Harrow he is dead.

    <In Lore Failures of Tenno (Lore of Valkyr and Alad V)>

    The Tenno aren't unstoppable in lore, Tenno have failed and Warframes have died. Valkyr is the way she is because she was captured and tortured by Alad V. Zanuka, both Hunter and normal, are allegedly made of Warframes.

    <Impact of Warframe Loss (Nonspecific Lore, minimal spoilers)>

    We don't see a lot of info about this in lore, the aftermath of a Warframe death, but Warframes have been the defenders of various places that have gone on being places after the protector Warframe had died. It's likely a major cultural impact and potentially major security threat but I don't think it's devastating for one to be lost.

  • Found this on my Facebook page
  • Of course, the fictitious despot of the Abrahamic faiths would have a fond opinion of the real would-be despot of America.

  • Boundary Herald has to be bought?!
  • Same, was rather upset when I had to roll with the shitty starting ship for longer because of the nanite charge on the other expedition ships.

  • Self-proclaimed witches say spells won't work against Trump
  • Magic doesn't work... and people flip out when someone tries to use things that would.

  • Space Combat: Weapon Choices?

    So, now that I've got the Boundary Herald I was considering outfitting it for raiding and seeing if I could make something formidable out of it like my Sentinel Interceptor. For the Interceptor I just used the Sentinel Cannon and the shield-leeching laser... for the Herald, unfortunately, the Sentinel Cannon isn't an option. So what do you use if not that?

    I was thinking Positron Ejector and Cyclotron Ballista but it's been a long time since I've re-evaluated my choices so I'd like second opinions.

    The Cursed: Looking for Anomalous Animals
  • Yeah, I've got a cockpit. The glass is tinted so I can't see in from outside but it's pretty plain to see that it's tinted glass, not an absence of texture.

  • The Cursed: Looking for Anomalous Animals
  • I bought maps, worked like a charm. Got the UFO now.

  • The Cursed: Looking for Anomalous Animals
  • I bought maps, worked like a charm. Got the UFO now.

  • The Cursed: Looking for Anomalous Animals
  • But I found a second animal on the Planet of Light... I feel the game is trolling me. Not just this time but also now with the Alien Ruins. 100.00 (repeating)% of the time it's not ruins.

  • The Cursed: Looking for Anomalous Animals

    So, I've reached the Genetic Glitch objective... I'm in the Andalen Osaka system... the one the third gate takes you to.

    I've found the light creature on the Planet of Light but hunting for every animal across an entire planetary body has never been my thing. I really don't want to do it for five planets (none of the others stand out as being able to spawn anom animals).

    Where's the other anomalous animal and about what does it look like? Is it terrestrial or does it live in air, underground, or water?

    The Cursed: Mute the Voices?
  • Sure, it may be thematic but it's very annoying to me.

    I've been told this twice now. I'm more than three hours into the expedition between two sessions. So far that's not happening. If anything I'm hating them more now then two hours of gametime ago.

  • The Cursed: Mute the Voices?

    Anyone found a way to silence the voices that taunt us frequently throughout the whole expedition?

    I'm having a frustrating enough time of it, I don't enjoy NMS' early game, without this additional vexation.

    Multitools: Good Resources/Explainers?

    Was just skimming the community and saw the recent Atlas Scepter post and it had me thinking;

    I don't know much about multitools beyond there's several categories, put things I like most in the supercharge slots, and higher numbers in relevant stats are better... in other words the very basics.

    My multi is primarily a weapon platform then a scanner and mining tool. So, what category of tool should I be looking for and what should I know about them? I do like the Runic Lens on the Atlas Scepter and noticed the Atlantid mutlis have it as well... could I move that onto a different mutli if/when I replace it?

    BeatByte: Available Music, or How to Make It?

    So, I've managed to find an OK location for a base, not sure if I'll actually build it out yet, and rebuilt my freighter base but in the process I've put down a BeatByte Device, found it had ... something on it from the last time I was playing and realized I still don't know anything about music.

    It'd be nice to have something playing in my freighter rather than just the ambient sounds from some of the things I've put in it but I remember how well trying to do it by stabbing about in the dark went last time. I'd rather not. So, anyone else not musically inclined? What do you do with the Beatbyte?

    Methodology: How to Find Good Base Locations?

    Just booted up the game again after a significant time away and figured I'd try doing something new; building a more robust base rather than something that's just practical.

    Thing is I'm used to searching only on the basis of practicality. So, how do you find nice locations to build something aesthetically pleasing rather than just fit for purpose?

    Wise Razor; How bad is the grind?

    Hello everyone;

    I've found a melee weapon I've really been enjoying, the Tatsu Prime. However I don't have it's only stance mod, Wise Razor, and checking the wiki it's only obtainable through random transmutation or hunting Coolant Racknoids. Has anyone hunted this mod down recently? What's the grind like for acquisition? Any tips on doing so?

    For the fun: Weapons

    Going on the advice I've gotten recently for getting the last few MR ranks I'm trying to vary my loadouts every so often and just remodded a weapon I enjoy but rarely use: The Javlok

    I know it's not great but I enjoy it. I figured it'd be fun to hear what everyone's pet weapons are. What weapons, if any, do you keep around that aren't powerful but you enjoy them?

    Legendary/High-MR Tenno: How do you do it?

    Hello everyone,

    I've been trying to work through my remaining MR fodder. I've picked a few things off my remaining unmastered list and started trying to acquire them... only problem is these things have proven unexpectedly difficult/annoying to get. So, is there a resource somewhere to allow for quick differentiation based on ease of acquisition?

    I've got few enough things on the list I could probably fit the set of all weapons I haven't mastered yet into 3-4 screenshots if that'd help.

    Edit: Was asked for the screenshots: !

    !

    !

    Took a bit more than I thought. While I was at it also took a few of the other things that give MR:

    I have Tatsu Prime & Citrine building but otherwise I think the screenshots show a pretty accurate listing of what I still need to put effort into.

    Railjack: Anyone else legitimately enjoy it?

    Just finished maxing out my Railjack Build and recalled that it at least appeared to be that Railjack was an underappreciated game mode.

    So, does anyone like it now? How've you built your railjack? Do you use Lavos when doing Railjack or manufacture energy as-needed?

    How to silence Adversaries?

    Is there a way to stop the mad ramblings of Liches while I'm hunting them?

    It's sometimes entertaining but there's too many Lich personalities that are just grating, and I've most definitely got one of those now while I'm just trying to get a new weapon to wring the MR from.

    Style Advice Wanted: Modern Architecture

    Hello everyone,

    Finally managed to get a modded world stable enough to have a few large machines running and enjoy their use, including an autonomous concrete factory. With that I've built some walls and then realized I don't have any real experience with modern architecture... so I've got a giant white brick surrounding my machines.

    Honestly, I'm not used to building on this scale either so I'm not sure how to make this look nice on multiple fronts. One thing I do know though; I don't like glass curtain-walls so I'd rather not do that for this building in spite of it certainly being big enough.

    !

    Any ideas?

    Operator Mode: A Few Questions for the Community

    Hello everyone,

    Just did a few missions on the Zariman and remembered a post from here or back on the old subreddit talking about some people still never using Operator mode. So I figured it'd be interesting to hear what people think about it and how much they've invested into it:

    • Do you use Operator/Drifter mode any more than absolutely necessary?
      • If so do you prefer the Drifter or Operator?
    • How much effort have you put into your Amp(s)?
      • Have you built several with significantly different behaviors? [Ex one a flamethrower, one a grenade launcher etc]
    • Do you use Operator &/or Amp Arcanes?
      • If so which ones?
      • If so have you raised them to maximum rank?
    • What Focus School do you main?
      • Is it the school you started with?
      • How far into it are you?
    • Have you used other schools?
      • If so have you unbound anything from them?
    • What would you say your primary method of getting Focus is?
      • Do you like that method?
    • Compared to your main Warframe how effective is Operator Mode for you?
      • Compared to an average Warframe how effective is Operator Mode for you?
    • Is there any stand out utility of the mode for you?
    • What would you say your general opinion of the mode is?

    Looking For Modpack

    Hello everyone,

    My friends and I would like to play a modded world together now that we've found 'The Essentials' mod which allows us to circumvent our previous issues with multiplayer. However we've had some issues with finding good modpacks. None of us are experts so we've just been trying ones we've found.

    We've mostly tried 'Create on a Potato PC Ultimate' and 'Create: Arcane Engineering'. Create on a Potato PC was/is great but we have a minor crashing issue. Arcane Engineering integrates the mod so much it makes trying to primarily work with one frustrating. My friends have also tried Create Chronicals and found it to just be altogether too much.

    What we're looking for is a pack with Create (addons desired but not needed) and an in-depth magic mod like Botania or Ars Magica.

    Any suggestions?

    What to put on a Viral Primer?

    Besides Viral Damage and status chance, obviously. I've been slowly wringing all the MR out of my favorite primer, my Kuva Nukor, and I've gotten to the point where I'm not sure if my mod selections are quite worth the slot... and I've got plenty of capacity to work with. !

    This is my current build. To me the point is that it applies max stacks of Viral ASAP, as an added bonus it's Kuva element is Radiation which prevents buffing enemies from doing much of anything. As is unless I'm on SP the Nukor can and will kill most enemies quite efficiently.

    So, what do you do with a Viral Primer once it primes Viral with all the gusto is can?

    Edit: Taking all the suggestions here's what I've got: !

    This is looking pretty awesome now.

    New Favorite Melee Weapon: Hespar

    Just finished building the Hespar and slapped a build from Overframe on it... I didn't use to have a favorite melee weapon beyond what looked nicest strapped to my hip. I didn't really use melee much. Hespar w Galeforce Down is now my favorite. Love the wide swings and quick forward advance letting me carve through hordes with minimal effort.

    Might just have to put together a loadout using all my favorite things now since there's enough to fill all slots.

    On Call: Ideal Crew for Tenno Support

    So, a friend of mine and I just went two for two on frustrating experiences:

    SP Interception is just frustrating for the two of us. We struggle to clear all the gits from the capture points between their high health and constantly streaming in. In general we can each take and hold a point then potentially hold a third long enough to gain the lead. However, the Acolyte then spawns in and annoys us long enough to lose the lead, mostly through trolling with their abilities.

    I have a Kuva Lich and my friend has a Sister of Parvos as our On Call Crewmen but neither of us have put any work into optimizing them, they're both just more-or-less the first thing we spared rather than killed. I also summon Kahl and his support units while my friend calls Ancient Healers (they prefer a different Air Support).

    I know my Lich isn't optimal, it uses one of the less impressive Kuva variant guns, the Quartakk, and only has one power that's noticeably helpful: their version of Hollowed Ground. Their SoP Crewman is similarly unimpressive but I don't recall the specifics. Both of us need better help. So, what should we be looking for in terms of the best support for SP missions?

    Comparison: Lich Nukor v SoP Cycron

    Just killed my current Lich and got the Kuva Nukor, and now I'm wondering how it will compare to the Tenet Cycron for Priming. This is their comparison on the equip screen: !

    Anyone have experience with both weapons? Which would you say is generally better for the job? Of note: I don't do collision overload and rarely melee in general.

    Personal Achievement: All the Bobbles

    Just finished the Steel Path and got all the Bobbles! !

    Arranged them as an homage to the pre-Orbiter mission select screen. The Deimos bobble isn't clearly visible but it's there between Mars and Phobos. The Zariman Bobble is unfortunately out of frame on my Pedestal Prime.

    Dante: No Grind?

    Am I lucky for once in my life or is Dante a really eazy grind? I just got half of Dante and ~130 pity points in one run then finished off the pps on a single C rotation. So with less than an hour of work I've got the new frame under construction.
