So with season 3 of the show fast approaching and a general idea of the material it will cover what are you looking forward to seeing on screen? What scenes do you think they might fumble and which are impossible to screw up?

For myself I think I'm most looking forward to Road to the Spear. Book 4 is my favorite and I think this will be incredible on screen. I'm also looking forward to seeing the battle of Emond's field, and hopefully the first appearance of the Finns with Matt. I feel like Perrin finding out about his family is going to be heartbreaking and I don't think they can mess that up even. I'm more worried about iconic scenes in the Wastes like the meeting at Alcair Dal, and Perrin's meeting with Noam.

So how about all of you? What are you looking forward to?

I was reminded on a lemmy post today of Little Duck's Disruption dialogue where she says

"Looks like Alad was so keen to make the sale, he didn't close every back door. Greed makes a person sloppy, hotshot, remember that. Enjoy the boost."

That got me thinking and I was curious what other Tenno's favorite mission dialogues are. Could be theme for a whole mission or one line. Fittingly I think my favorite is probably Little Duck in disruption, though Conjunction Survival gets an honorable mention with

"The Grineer and Corpus came here in search of treasure but only found oblivion. They are trespassers here. You are not.

And of course who can forget the terror of Mott itself Corrupted Vorr's speech haha

So I was wondering if anyone else had favorite chapters of the whole series, or sequences of chapters. For example Road to the Spear and Dedicated are incredible and some of my favorite chapters, but when I really want to feel things I listen to "A visit from Verin Sedai" through to "The Tower Stands". That sequence is moving and uplifting and tragic all rolled together. Another honorable mention goes to Perrin's conversation with Boundless in the Towers of Midnight epilogue which made myself and my trans partner cry ugly tears.

So what are your favorites and why?

Just got to see True Body live with Uniform and Pharmakon. Fantastic show. My partner described them as a mix between Iggy Pop and Bauhaus

Explanation: ::: spoiler spoiler In the end, when the king's men come to destroy their lives, Thorgil doesn't have the courage to surrender and accept the consequences, while Olmar seeing the devastation finally realizes that it was a lack of courage that got him here https://youtu.be/yoMdeLqbs98 :::

I know there is a lot of doom going around. I certainly feel it. It feels like every fearful anxious nightmare has come to pass and like we are headed into oblivion. It's okay to feel that, it's okay to need some time to get back up.

That said, the fight isn't over. We're on the ropes, we've taken a beating, our leaders have failed us yet again, and our neighbors are actively pushing for the end, but the fight isn't over until we die or give up. Its not much of a meme, but I listen to these words from Andor when I need to remind myself, hopefully they'll find someone who needs to hear them today.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.

Thanks for reading/Listening here's a bonus Maarva speech:

I think capitalism can be understood as a living entity, a being composed of billions of smaller beings (people), essentially cells. It evolves (legally and through market innovations), has an immune response (police), and grows and reproduces itself (imperialism). The cells are independent life in their own right, but they exist almost wholely within the body of capitalism and the structure of their existence reinforces their participation in the greater whole of capitalism. All complex organisms are composites of smaller organisms and I think it makes sense to reason about capitalism and how to go about changing it or destroying it from this lens.

Hi all,

I'm a returning player, and I'm kind of stuck a bit in terms of progress. I have caught up on all quests and have a great wealth of frames and weapons, but I'm still struggling a fair bit every time I load into a steel path mission, or even really some particularly high level normal missions.

I was away for essentially the entire shield gating defensive meta and the AoE weapon meta, and while I feel my modding has caught up somewhat I'm still not sure I'm particularly good at finding or making builds. My warframes feel flimsy, almost regardless of defensive buffs, and while my Kuva Chakhurr hits hard enough to put things down, its somewhat slow and unwieldy while my more responsive weapons feel like they don't put out enough damage to get the galvanized stacks rolling.

So what I want to know from my fellow Tenno is, what do you think is required to really excel in Steel Path? Arcanes, archon shards, helminths, focus trees, weapons, incarnons, specific mods, etc. Anything you can think of that you think "I need to have this set before I toggle over to steel path"

So during the recent player survey, BHVR floated ideas for some additional game modes. I was curious what everyone thought of them. What were your favorites or which ones do you think are really missing the mark? Do you have any other fun ideas you think they're sleeping on?

Personally, I really like the sound of Tag, 5v5 and 2v8. 5v5 sounds really interesting and like it would be a good place to sweat a little. Tag sounds like pure chaotic fun, and 2v8 sounds like it could be cool, though I am skeptical they could balance it.

On the other side, I feel like Giant mode sounds like a boring novelty, and I don't understand the purpose of a Hide & Seek mode where auras are revealed every couple of seconds. That sounds like a waste of time to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

As for a mode I think they're sleeping on, I think that Hide & Seek would be more fun if Survivors goal was to cross a map without being spotted. If you get spotted you're out, and if more than one survivor makes it, then time is the tie breaker. Maybe with more than one Killer to make it even spicier.
