I've injured myself in a table saw accident, and am unable to enjoy warframe. I have not lost fingers, but I have nearly destroyed them.
Keep up all the content here so I can live vicariously through all my fellow Tenno!!

I’m new here so: do you have to pay to get Prime Frames, or can you get them like every other Warframe in the game?
With one special exception (Excalibur Prime), you can get all Primes in-game. Getting Primes is a bit more complicated than getting regular frames. Basically you get items called relics, which you then crack in special missions called fissures to receive a quasi-random prime part blueprint (weapon or frame).
You can of course also buy them with plat from other players (or buy them at a premium via Prime Access). If you're going this route I highly recommend checking the price on warframe.market first. The prices you see in trade chat tend to be inflated.

I'm partly of Asian decent and totally of Asian-style upbringing, and after agonizingly obeying everything that my culture and family had set for me, I've been essentially humiliated in an interview (even if it was not the potential employer's intention) for everything I lacked due to that upbringing. I am still very, very crushed not for those ultimately helpful criticisms, but for my inadequacy. Just sheer inadequacy. I've trudged through a degree and a professional training programme. Done. I've been denied in pursuing what I really wanted; frankly how I'm still alive at this point boggles even me. I've been put down for doing what I like because it wastes time and now when I try to rekindle that hobby again I feel disgusted. I've been specifically banned from ever dabbling in any part-time jobs during my studies because I should focus on them and the fact that the interviewer even suggested she'd rather me going for a job like a bartender or something before even considering the job which I had gotten a PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATION for is just a feeling I can't describe. Like she actually would rather hire a person working a CASUAL JOB with NOTHING to do with the profession for MONTHS (aka you can quit anytime job which max is like 20 hours a week afaik) to show that one is "hardworking" (yeah right) rather than potentially taking me in despite saying relevant training will be provided because what the fuck do I know. I'm awkward as fuck cuz I was never allowed to hang out with friends. Apparently I apologize a lot which is a no-no cuz I don't know, my confidence is in the fucking cesspool all my fucking life? And the fact that she wanted me to go into some kind of speech club just puts the fury of the gods in me (which is not the potential employer's fault), even though I scored 8.5 aggregate in IELTS (nothing individually below 8.0). I think that line just made put that straw upon that camel's back. Because fuck faking confidence when I simply don't have it. I just want something to work on which I studied for. The reason I have no work prior to your fucking interview was because I treated my job-search as my full-time job while trying not to fall into another bout of down-feelings cuz this profession demands "stability". It's not fucking magic. Basically all I've denied myself because of "obeying parents" has exploded in this one interview. Fell sick immediately once I arrived at my room I was so broken. It's like that Zero moment of "What am I fighting fooooooooor". Language cannot express the nuances and the work put into this but heck, I don't care no more. I can delude myself and console myself by telling myself what a good candidate she has missed but I'm just so done. It's so weird that one incident has finally stacked up on top that broke the camel's back and I'm like fuck this. It's not a rant of "I'm entitled to a job because I want it", but more of a rant of "I followed everything my parents wanted and now I'm fucked in every areas of my life." But whatever. Rant over.
Asian parents, just don't do this to your kids. Spend more time with them and work shit out. Don't make me.

In all the jobs I've ever had, knowing someone on the inside, even slightly, made a difference in whether or not I got the job. My previous job was from meeting and befriending a couple of random strangers on a stupid cartoon/anime/general fandom forum fifteen years ago. What I'm doing right now is also thanks to those friends.
It really isn't all about sending in applications and doing interviews. It's about meeting and knowing the right people, it's about personal connections. Getting referrals. That's probably why Linked In has gotten so popular, it allows a platform for staying in touch with former colleagues and professional contacts, without the personal-life element of other social media.
Anyway, your parents sabotaged you. They didn't keep up with the times and gave you bad instructions and you didn't know better because of how they raised you. Children are supposed to be able to trust their parents. It sucks, finding out that they were wrong and shot you in the foot. It hurts. Being angry right now is absolutely normal.
So they have to support you longer than maybe they wanted to. That's their fault. They didn't prepare you for the real world as it is now, they prepared you for, I don't know, the job market and world of 1995. Keep looking for good opportunities for the life you want to have.
You have a better idea now of what you need to learn than you did yesterday.

Well,since its fuck all now,why dont you try an odd job and stick with it.If your parents butt in tell them what the employer said and splash it into their face that employer seek mostly people who will work,rather than proffesionals most of the time(if they have to chose between the 2) Also nobody has confidence,everybody is unsure about a part of their life.Just some people are more oblivous than others

I used Zephyr for Profit Taker.
First time I'm enjoying this boss fight. Chroma worked aight but frankly just wasn't fun with all the nullies in pub matches.
So Zephyr. I fly around, projectiles don't hit me, I CC adds if I can, and I have a nicely spread loadout that lets me cover as many damage types as possible but I'm still working on that.
Ended up spending a lot of time reviving the Chromas, though.
Any tips y'all got to make my shooting times easier?
I do wish people wouldn't cycle so quickly looking for a single damage type and making me switch weapons more than I'm actually shooting.

Are you ... Are you me? Although I don't have prime Soma, I got both Mesa Prime (my first) and Soma on the same day.
Same experience, crit mods on Soma and everything melts!

Funny bug: A long time ago i invited a friend to my dojo and he connected to the same instance i was in, and not one where he was solo as is usual. Been a long time since that happened, must've been patched out.
