wanted to post this earlier but forgot haha the company behind Marlboro etc got ordered to state something about additives designed to increase the effect of nicotine but they put it behind the cellophane leave it to tobacco companies to turn a potential loss into a way to drive profit
>>609964 the last time i got an actual email was a year or maybe more ago i was never very prompt about replying through mail anyway but it was nice to talk to a few people and think about what i'm typing a bit for once
Anno
>>609966 So is it impossible for the warning to be seen unless you buy the pack? Cigarettes are kept entirely out of view of any customer in the store here so any kind of information on the packaging is only ever going to end up in the hands of those who buy them anyway.
Anno
>>609969 yeah haha it's beneath the wrapping i'm sure you can probably google it though
Anno
>>609969 seems like a lot of states have that restriction but they're on display here we can't sell anything higher than 14% ABV outside of a licensed liquor store or on-premise location though and no liquor on sundays texas laws are kind of weird
Anno
I remember they were that way in Philly too though.
>>609971 I mean stores can't sell anything alcoholic here unless they're a licensed liquor store. And al l the licensed liquor stores are owned by the province anyway. Though I guess you can find some beers and wines at major grocery stores now.
The no liquor on Sundays thing is entirely stupid though. Like, what, you think it's going to keep people from drinking on Sundays?
>>609972 well yeah i guess that part of what i said was kind of obvious but they're not state owned, they're locally operated and a goodly sum are therefore loose in regulation they do tax a extra dollar and a couple quarters for various city related funds though. you actually couldn't even buy liquor in my city limits until like 4 years ago i think, that's how far behind the laws are here, lots of cities are still dry around the state texas is a pretty red state typically so it's not really unexpected if you're familiar with our rat race the sunday thing is probably puritanical bullshit yeah all the alcoholics here just buy a lot more and get super wasted on saturday instead. it doesn't prevent anything but it gives liquor stores a day off i guess? generally i think it's a good idea to not drink before you work and most people work m-f but i'm against any kind of regulation that takes the choice away from you if people want to do dumb stuff they ought to be granted the freedom to
Anno
Regardless of my opinion on a regulation I would rather it not be so stupidly workarounded like that one. Prohibiting people from buying alcohol on Sunday is not going to stop anyone that really wants to drink on Sunday. It'll barely even inconvenience them unless they're particularly forgetful or have poor impulse control. It's just all too ridiculous.
Anno
I wish there was something I could snack on that was near-zero calorie. That could be coupled well with tea or another mildly flavoured drink. I get the urge to eat things late at night like this and there isn't really a good option.

Anno
Phones are the worst.
Koi
I feel so bad. The only thing I understood was him saying "you understand?"
>>609980 >That could be coupled well with tea or another mildly flavoured drink This basically disqualfies any kind of vegetable really.
Anno
>>609980 I would say it's entirely symbolic. Or at least near being so that it's pretty much pointless to frame any other way. Which is in part why it doesn't belong in regulations.
>>609981 nothing better than a warm cuppa tea and a crisp head of fresh lettuce
Anno
>>609979 As someone who is consistently difficult to understand on the phone, there is a good chance they felt kind of bad as well.
Anno

tbh the real distraction is productivity it districts us from LIVING
Anno
productivity is part of living but I would rather produce value for myself producing value for someone else and being compensated with an arbitrary number unrelated to the effort involved is just not fun or satisfying
I can't focus on anything important and it's getting me agitated which in turn is making it harder and harder to focus on things. And I can't stop this cascade.

Chicken fried rice is kind of fun to make too. Getting everything diced or shredded is a lot of work and really time-consuming for me though. But it's a lot of fun to throw it all into the wok and let it get nice and hot.

It hasn't really gotten much better. Relatively better from this time last week to today, but I'm still horribly behind schedule and when not distracted I've pretty much had a perpetual garbage heap of anxiety and dread panic my head's been stuck in.
Anno
just do it don't let your dreams be memes
Anno
Yeah but what is "it". What is "do". I don't have definitive nouns and actions to fill those slots so being told to just do things is entirely useless.
Anno
>>610034 i dunno it's a choose your own adventure I'm not exactly an expert on this
Well, telling you to get therapy won't help either, will it?
Anno
At this point I have a hard time being convinced anything will help. I'm so entrenched in this mentality that it continues to build its walls itself.
Kannagi
Anxiety is horrible. I don't have a lot of coping strategies. I'm trying to make photography a distraction but it can be hard. I hope you find something for you that helps you. I am trying avoid lapsing into shitty behaviors.
Learning coping strategies and behavioral therapy will probably go a long way.
Fish used to be unable to step outside alone without having a panic attack. She couldn't even open the door without breaking down. Therapy has done her a world of good and she's more-or-less self-sufficient although she still is working on her anxiety.
A lot of people feel like there's no hope for getting past their issues, but 99.99% of the time, there is. It's hard and it's scary to change. It's easier to just sit around and be miserable.
I don't know about y'all, but that's not how I'd want to live. What's the point of living if you're just going to let yourself be miserable because pursuing happiness is scary?
Anxiety, depression, PTSD, alcoholism, it's all hard to survive, and sometimes everything feels impossible, but it is possible.
Well this paper's not going to get handed in on time. I'm so tired of always handing in papers late. Or not at all. Writing's supposed to be the thing I'm good at, so why is structured writing so hard.
>>610050 this is a pretty generic tip but it works for me at least.
Just fuckin' write word vomit and worry about fixing it up and making it sound good later.
The hardest part is just giving concrete form to all the half-formed ideas floating around in your mind and as soon as they exist on paper it's a lot easier to go back later and edit it to actually sound good. >>610049 aavemainen
Anno
>>610053 This is probably gonna sound pessimistic or whatever, but I functionally can't do that. Like I don't know how to just word vomit. My brain's constantly chewing over the words as I'm writing or typing them, and I don't know how to turn that off. That part about giving concrete form to the ideas in my mind? I don't know how to do that.
Anno
>>610054 write literally everything that comes to mind as if you're trying to explain it on the fly by talking. not everyone can just write gonzo like that, though. some people need structure to formulate words, others need words to formulate structure.
i personally can't get anything written down if I'm trying to think about how the writing other //ought to be laid out. Marsh's method works for me, since my biggest struggle comes from the first sentence.
Anno
I'm not really thinking about how the writnig ought to be either, really. Not consciously at least. Writing's such a natural activity for me that it all really happens without a lot of conscious thought for me. It's easier when I'm trying to put together a story, kinda.
Kannagi
I try to write a good intro once I have that down I try to construct from there. I don't really have much advice, I suck at writing. I panic and end up with very little time to write my essays.
What I find a little helpful is doing a mind-map thing of everything I can think of that I should include. so I can sort of checklist if my writing is actually mentioning the important stuff.
Writing in the first place is hard and maintaining concentration is a pain.
Kirara, the Cat
I just write everything that comes to mind as it comes to mind and never really look at it again, with a few exceptions.
Anno
I wouldn't be able to capture everything that comes to mind as I'm writing. The topics would slip and slide all over the place. Trying to stay on focus is really hard.
I'm not really a perfectionist most things are fine the way they are
but writing is different. All the words need to be right. in the right order. have the right nuance. have the right connotations. . But because of that, sometimes I won't make any progress at all. I'll freeze up, because I have the idea but I won't know exactly the right way to express it.
But that's why writing something, ANYTHING down is so important. It keeps things moving. Allows progress to happen.
And then once it's all on the page go back a few days later and put it in its proper form.
But like >>610055 >>610058 said, stream of consciousness writing is a good way to practice.
Anno
almost everything sucks the way it is but fixing it seems like a waste of time
I'm pretty good at academic writing. I only rarely have to fix my tone of voice in it.
Kannagi
I regret sending in my essay - my last one was kind of rushed. I neglected to put a ref list for all references I did.
ToN
y’all are doomed on thirsday probably
Anno
What does Thursday have in store for me? By that point I'll either have finished all my late papers of have failed them all.
Anno
>>610060 Like I've been trying to say, I don't understand stream of consciousness writing. I know it's a concept but I can't separate the automatic editing of the words from the writing process.
That's not a stream of consciousness that's a dialogue.
>>610067 I don't really have a good way of describing it. I write. If it's fiction I've usually got a scene playing abstractly out in my head that I'm trying to convert into words. With writing for papers, I have even less of a clue. I guess I agonize over what my point even is then try to describe it? Even that's not really accurate because often I'll just state observations that are kind of similar and then wrap them together.
That doesn't really feel right either. I really don't know. Writing's something that goes on in a different part of my head than the one that thinks too much about things.
>>610070 Well, this may be obvious, but you gotta figure out your own process if you want to learn how to use it effectively in novel situations. Try writing something you want to write and observe your process as you do it. Talent and instinct only gets you so far if you don't learn how to use it. You gotta figure out how you work before you can make yourself work.
What are your essays on that you're having trouble with, anyway?
Anno
I've got three papers at the moment. The one I'm currently spinning wheels on is due in two hours. We need to relate someone or something to the concepts of Marshall McLuhan, mainly either his concepts of hot and cold media and/or people that have mastered their medium and have become influential because of that. There's a secondary paper we can relate to that discusses documents as they exist socially, the way they influence and are influenced by social spheres, the kinds of ways social engagement can develop around documents, stuff like that. I'm relating them to Harry Potter and its relevance to children's and youth literature and the way it helped develop "nerd communities", especially in the early days of the Internet.
Anno
What's particularly annoying is I was trying to get this paper done today so I'd at least have one of three final papers due in -on time.
>>610074 Do you tend to procrastinate on this stuff?
Anno
Yeah. I mean I probably procrastinate, intentionally or subconsciously or unintentionally on most things, but writing papers is probably notably more so.
Kannagi
Can you get an extension for any of your papers?
Marsh-chan
>>610077 I fuckin could if I knew anything about Hot and Cold media theory.
Anno
>>610081 Well then get yourself learned, son. https://www.nextnature.net/2009/12/the-playboy-interview-marshall-mcluhan/
>>610080 Possibly? Probably not for the other two; they're already both several days late. Not without some kind of sign off of actual health concern, and even then it's probably up to the discretion of the professor. For this one, I'd not bank on it. I already got a day-late forgiveness for a previous assignment and that makes me extra anxious about trying for a second favour. Plus I ditched the class last week because I didn't have the previous state this paper was needed to be done in time for it.
Mid-seventies for two of the classes, low-nineties for another. Of course this is based off of at most one or two actually graded assignments I've gotten back; the actually graded stuff in these classes is only like two or three assignments plus a final. And it's weighted heavier the later in the semester it gets. So I'll get dragged down a lot more by these things.
Anno
Of course this is entirely ignoring the one class I've all but completely given up for and are regretting not dropping when I still could without academic penalty.
I don't know. Can't really know until I've done the finals. None of these papers are due more than 35-40% of my final mark so I could completely not do them and still maaaaybe pass. But I wouldn't count on it.
At this point I'm tempted just to slap an author's note on the end of this apologizing to the professor for handing in such a miserable piece that's like 34% of the length it's supposed to be. At least then I'll get maybe 20% on it. There's no guarantee I'll stop agonizing over it if I keep it around after all.
Kirara, the Cat
Is it digital submission?
Anno
Both physical and digital. I'll need to bring in a hard copy tonight or deliver it to the professor at a later date. The digital copy is the one that judges the late penalty though.
Marsh-chan
what's the penalty for being late? usually it's only like 5-10% a day just submit it late and do a good job at it
Marsh-chan
well, I say usually I have no idea what it's like over there.
Anno
I'm pretty sure it'll be 5% a day for up to a week, after which it's a zero. But that's besides the point because there is no guarantee I'll actually get it done if I try to submit it late to ensure a good job. And honestly there's precedence that it'll just not get done in that situation.
On top of that I still also have two papers that are due for other classes which are already late. I put off doing them instead of this one of the chance of actually handing in something on time. For the chance even. They're also 3% lost a day so I'm suffering less for delaying them anyway.
Procastination's a bitch. It's a big a big problem in my life in the past. In some ways it still is, although I've gotten better at managing it over the years. It's definitely something you can teach yourself. There are a lot of good resources out there.
I remember one time I paid my younger brother $20 to sit across the table from me and to forcibly stop me from leaving before I finished my project.
There was this other time I remember in my first year of uni, walking around the park, in the rain, smoking cigarettes, and almost having a breakdown and punching trees because I couldn't get myself to write 500 words for an introduction to Communications class.
And it's not as though I'm perfect at it now but the other week I handed in a 30 page legal essay, which I definitely couldn't have done a few years ago. So.... it does get better.
Not that any of this helps your current situation all that much. But don't give up don't let it stress you out too much. Put yourself in an environment that makes it easy to work and hard to slack off - like a library or something and more than anything else, just get started. That's the #1 thing that all the so called experts say.
And also just keep everything in perspective. None of this will matter in a couple of years, so don't let it matter too much to you now.
Anno
It might not matter but ramifications will. Perspective is dumb shit because small things you do or don't do -can- matter years down the line. Especially with the ever-increasing pressure to either become self-sustainable or probably get thrown out and die of exposure because I can't do anything. It's impossible to keep things in perspective when you can't not look at where things will be down the line. If I could turn off the part of my head that is always warning me of how much little time I have left I would have a long time ago.
Man even just thinking along this line of thought is stressing me out.
The internet is definitely HOT it's not like television where it's a one-way interaction and you absorb everything sent though. There's the network of interactivity in which humans lose themselves, but it requires constant input.
>>610110 You have charisma you can't turn off it seems!
Yeah. I wasn't expecting any response to be honest but instead of got a fair // negative responses. having a curious cat was obvious breaching some people's bottom line lol
Yeah, a lot of people seem to have crushes on me on Twitter. One of them is this really annoying 16 year old that calls me their mentor. She keeps saying inappropriate things to me. Another girl keeps telling me I have really sexy legs and I make them horny. It's so weird, all I can do is laugh.
i have crushes on a lot of people tbh that sounds really annoying
Kannagi
I've had a few people message me that they like me but its a bit unnerving, I doubt they are actually into me so much as into the idea of being into me.

it's incredibly difficult to get a diagnosis of ADHD as an adult from a real doctor, at least you have to prove you've had the symptoms during childhood which is difficult
Anno
Expensive too. The topic came up when I was talking with the doctor on Friday and it's not covered by OHIP and can run upwards of a thousand dollars That's really hard to merit the gamble.
FormerRei@mobile
>>610137 I know two adults who were diagnosed with adhd in the past year. It might be hard bt a the very least its worth looking into.
I had to give up on getting help through uni via asperger's claim because it requires that I take months going through assessments. I can get help through other things but the claim centre is already closed ahead of "christmas"
FormerRei@mobile
Did some googling, psychiatrists can be covered by OHIP.
Kirara, the Cat
psychiatrists can't do the psychological evaluation that is necessary to diagnose ADHD ethically
Kirara, the Cat
or legally they can diagnose without assessment but that's unethical
FormerRei@mobile
Anyways if he does have a diagnosis of bipolar he can get accomodations for that.
Anno
>>610123 At the least I've been led to believe I could get accommodation for depression/anxiety from the faculty and staff.

although i know dreams are boring stories to listen to, i still feel a burning desire to share it, so i'll do it online where it doesn't matter a very cherished, old friend of mine appeared at my house and we hung normally for a bit, but then they started doing a bunch of weird things with their face. Like random mouth movements and squeezing of all the face muscles, very reminiscent of how druggies do crackheads do weird stuff with their faces. I noticed a rash on their leg so I went to go grab some ointment from my medicine cabinet but all my medicine at been replaced with stuff i didn't recognize. My friend then said they needed a hot shower so I went to show them my bathroom, but once we got in there i noticed it was a big, medeival bathes where instead of porcelain, everything was made of jade and gold. I went back into the hallway and noticed I was in some huge chinese castle, and I thought "oh god how have I never been in this part of my house" and I got really sad because I thought I must have been going crazy. Then I realized I was dreaming and got even more sad because I realized I was actually not seeing this dear friend, and I wouldn't be seeing them again any time soon.
>>610137 it took a few visits with a psych that was tough to find and then they referred me to a specialist who did some tests personally after like two visits they prescribed Adderall IR the whole ordeal took like 5 weeks haha getting branded with bipolar was twice as fast and allI did was recount the dumbest and most self destructive shit I'd done recently

Anyways the way PvP "works" is you shoot someone and it barely deals any damage unless they opt in to the pvp. They do tat by shooting you back dealing regular damage. If they don't opt in to the PvP if you shoot a gun until it breaks it still won't do enough damage to kill them. But when the person opts in they can just VATS and shoot you in the head.

I am an iceage man I easily amass mass, I am practically build like a block my feet are like tree trunks and everything I eat in excess turns into fat instantly would be useful if I was a japanese high school girl, cause I'd ahve huge boobs then
amusingly how easily you build fat and how much you can eat does tell from what kind of region your ancestors came from ofc that isn't an excuse for getting fat and out of shape just that it is easier for some to fall down that path
i kinda want to know where my ancestors lived but also i don't want to pay money for that shit all i really know is that one side of my family can be traced back to danish immigrants to the same state i live in some hundreds of years ago >>610269 i am basically a human spider ah fuck my pizza is done

I could get a large coffee from pretty much anywhere with the voucher. The real catch is it's only good for one purchase.

maybe one day you will become weebking and i will entrust you with my domain in your quest to reunite weebland
Anno
my PSN has P.T. on it so i guess if you wanna play that little demo you better get conquering supposedly people try to sell consoles or accounts with that thing on it for a lot but i feel like nobody would actually buy it
Anno
People will buy anything that's a relatively limited commodity like that.

Heyo moe!
I got on the wrong bus today and had to wait in the train for two buses to get back home. That wasn't too fun but I had a hot shower and feeling better.
>>610335 Do they just give her felonies without taking her circumstances into account, surely they can help her and others in better ways than just giving felonies. I guess unless she like commited serious murders or whatnot.

When has the justice system ever been about helping people
>>610345 I feel the best I've felt in like a month. How are you?
Kannagi
>>610347 Similar to you in that regard, I still feel fairly dizzy all the time. but I think shifting my thinking to be more positive helps the anxiety plus the kalms really do stop my anxiety. I can feel the anxiety when its growing. I am really emotional recently
Plus photography is fun
I'm glad you are feeling better than you have through the month.
My mood fluctuates a lot. I feel a bit like I'm easily between feeling shit and full of anxiety and feeling alright and positive. I kinda forced positivity, like a thin veneer over anxiousness.
I have lapsed in judgement a lot so I don't feel particular quailfied but I hope you can avoid liquor but it is something to numb pain. and I can appreciate that. Hang in there friendo.

D&D and magic have been changed a lot to appeal to normalfags and I do not like the changes.

Also the indie music scene contains way more insufferable assholes than I previously thought was possible.
FormerRei@mobile
And my favorite music festival gets more crowded, more expensive and has more bands I don't want to see every year.
Well, I'm not drinking. But these motherfuckers are trying to fuck with me still. They're refusing to free me from their annoying chains I'm still under review.
I was low-key hoping it'd be bad. But I'm glad it wasn't. Maybe next time.

Good evening, /moe/ How goes all the things?
FormerRei@mobile
>>610411 did lv tell you about te band pop will eat itself already or no? *the band

>>610412 >did LV tell you about this band that you knew about before he did?
FormerRei@mobile
>>610413 Oh so no then. I didn't know if you knew them or not but when i linked him some stuff he said he thought you'd like them.

>>610414 Well, it just so happened that the lead singer was at Trent Reznor's Night of Nothing, which was recorded, and they did a rendition of one of PEWI's songs. And years later, I managed to unknowingly get a copy of one of their albums. So, he's late to the party, which is pretty normal.
>>610416 The best I can do is fry you to a crisp, and even then only piece by piece. Sorry.

>>610418 you free first week of January? like 2-6 or 3-6
Not So Anonymous !xa1FThiSUY
>>610419 That's a really good question, it depends on how much work is still coming in. Basically, now that we're in "peak season" I can't ask for time off. And I don't know when that ends.
>>610424 Oh, I'm interested, just assume my answer is no for now though. My ability to do anything is probably sealed until after some of the larger holidays that people buy things for.
Though I'm pretty sure I'll be making a run at some point to see a friend that moved.
I took another week off in August next year I still have a third week to pick for vacation assuming it's free I was thinking sometime in May any suggestions
Kirara, the Cat
if you ask me tomorrow, i can check when my summer is
what do you guys think of the phrase "you only like what i can do for you" yes it was said to me like c'mon i'm not gonna be over here like "man i really enjoy how you're a shitty person and piss me off all the time"
Anno
I'd have a hard time parsing it. So what you like, is only the things this person can do, for you? It's a really messy thing to say.
Anno
Anchi mahou
Maria
>>610455 Messy statement that depends on the circumstances But it sounds sorta manipulative to me. Like they're trying to get you to excuse their behaviour. "oh you only like what I can do for you" puts the blame back on you for not appreciating the shitty parts of them
Anno
>>610465 big patterna patterns* of manipulation with this person
luckily i'm just moaning about memories, i no longer FUCKS with this person
Maria
>>610470 I knew someone like that once. It pisses me off. You're done with them though, no need to worry anymore
Anno
>>610471 we should bond over things that our someones did that pissed us off a very peculiar thing is starting to reach the public conscious and get called out for what it really is It is when someone does something bad, and when you confront them about it they're all like "i'm sorry i'm such a shitty awful person i fucking hate myself so much, i should just die" in attempt to guilt YOU into feeling bad for their shitty behavior
>>610455 >you only like what I can do for you that's true with every social interaction in a way
what's the alternative - you only like useless people who make you feel like shit?
Anno
>>610543 Well it doesn't cover concepts like liking what people can do for themselves that does not have a single benefit to you. I like it when other people improve themselves, even though that doesn't do anything for me, for example.
Marsh-chan
but for you to care whether they better themselves or not, you must care at least a little bit about the person and if you care about the person, that means they do SOMETHING for you, even if it's something as simple as being friendly and you enjoying the interaction
Not that I want to be cynical. I don't think being self-serving has to be exploitative in any way it's just an acknowledgement that helping other people/seeing the good in others makes you feel good as well and there's nothing wrong with that. It's not as though it cheapens anything about it. .
Anno
I don't really evaluate people relative to me on what they do for me though. There -will- be people I do that for, but it's not a broad concept applicative to most people. Perhaps there's an argument for a concept like that being applied universally on a subconscious level, but I don't think that scope is within the limits of the accusation here. Consciously, I think it is a good thing for people to better themselves, even if there is no perceivable way that it does anything for me.
Self Interest has a lot of different connotations, depending on who's talking. It's easy to talk past each other and mean different things.
What exactly DID you do?
Anno
No clue, that wasn't me.
Marsh-chan
No, I just mean in general
Anno
>>610455 that's stupid it's normal to like people who can do things you want that includes their behavior friendship is born out of being capable of things you like
But I know it will make things worse in the long run and the best way to stop feeling like shit isn't by retreating and giving into temptation, but is instead found in pursuing meaningful goals.
No. Never. I need to BREAK THE CYCLE Or I'll be exactly back where I was four years ago.
Marsh-chan
but on the other hand... it would be so good. so relaxing. take the edge off. Make me happy. And of course, it would just be this one last time you know - before i stopped and really got my shit together
It's the 28th of the month.. You can't quit something on the last couple days of a month that doesn't make any sense. Logically I would need to wait until the 1st of December
Apparently Red Dead Online is basically just you trying to do quests while gangs of other players run around and kill you. The only time you're not vulnerable to this is if you raise a white flag at your camp and just sit there, doing nothing. And other players can just sit there and wait for you to leave.

I mean, the reforms are almost entirely just to piss off Google. German publishers want a piece of that juicy ad revenue.
There have been specific reassurances that it won't affect small platforms or do anything to stifle creativity and free speech.
But even so It's not a good thing to make this technology industry standard. Particularly with all its flaws and any step to increased Web restrictions and internet monitoring is a step in the wrong direction.
>>610587 It's not so bad. I have all my mountaineering stuff with me from when I went to Russia so I've got plenty of warm clothing. And you just get used to wearing two jackets, gloves and hat every time you go outside. And everywhere inside is warmly heated. I like cold weather - a lot more than hot. >>610586 's alright. a lot of procrastination but I haven't gone out and done anything I'll regret later so that's a good thing. How's yours?
Anno
>>610588 >two jackets is barely hoodie weather yet
FormerRei@mobile
>>610589 He's from the land down under. He's not used to weather like this.
>>610639 The sensation isn't strictly painful as much as it's unpleasant and ruins things. >>610642 Here I was about to say "But I don't want to use certain words" and here you go making a masterpiece.
i'm starting to remember why i stopped playing warframe fun game, but you have to play for 20 to 30 hours to get the stuff to make a new weapon then making it takes a literal day before you can use it and then you have to level it up for another 5 hours before you can equip good mods on that shit and use it
game would be a lot better if it wasn't F2P with pay to not grind model
then again it also probably wouldn't still be popular and receiving updates and shit
Anno
Yeah, the grind seems to have been the most common complaint I heard about Warframe. I think they made it a lot more palatable over the years though.
i'm not sure on the details if anything changed in terms of what you need but it does seem like it's a bit more possible to deal with now there's a lot of mission types that weren't in the game when i played years ago and tons of new weapons and warframes seems like you get more materials from random enemies in normal missions too, though the quantity is still low and getting the blueprints to make stuff still costs enormous amounts of credits but there are new missions and the defense maps give an alright amount of mats
i guess if you want to enjoy it you really have to put getting new toys in the back of your mind and just kill stuff
honestly though even if you never even finish unlocking any optional gear or anything it's still ten times more fun and way less repetitive than any other game i can think of in the same niche like destiny if you want a coop multiplayer shooter i can recommend it heartily or even if you just want to play by yourself but the later and optional missions can become pretty difficult solo
