Today's #Warframe hotfix reverted the EDA/ETA point system, making it more obnoxious to unlock EDA/ETA. This would not matter except that, for some unknown reason, EDA/ETA must be unlocked to play The Icebind. And The Icebind is the only way to get riven splicers. And this is all a TERRIBLE idea.

From the Warframe forums:

• Reverted the Research Point changes introduced to Archimedea missions with the Iceblade of Narin.
◦ Using a Warframe that matches those in the Individual Parameters rewards 1 Research Point once more.
◦ Restored the Research Point reward track to provide the Legendary Reward at 34 Research Points, and Vosfor or Pix Chips at 37 Research Points.
◦ This change had a mixed reception with players, and we ultimately decided to revert it so players didn’t feel “forced” to match their Warframe due to the increased Research Points they offered.
◦ Note: the other changes to Archimedea missions introduced with Iceblade of Narin remain untouched.

From the Warframe forums:

In order to prepare for its release, here’s a look at the pre-requisites to access The Icebind:

• Completed both the Angels of the Zariman and Whispers in the Walls quest
• Unlocked either Elite Temporal Archimedea or Elite Deep Archimedea
◦ You do not have to have completed an Elite Archimedea, you must have completed an Archimedea mission with enough Research Points to have unlocked the Elite versions of these missions.
◦ This means you will need to be Rank 5 in either the Cavia or Hex Syndicates.

Republicans always pull these stupid stunts: make a wild claim, maybe with an accompanying poster board, for clicks and views, then refuse to let anyone actually address the allegations they made or the "evidence" presented. That's how show trials typically work.

James Talarico can't be trusted to deliver "universal healthcare" or any progressive policy if he is already carving out exceptions for the rights of trans people. Once you make it clear you're willing to sacrifice SOME rights, you're just negotiating with the fascists over where the line falls.

Celici Lorena @celicilorena.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Centrist Democrats have been insisting for weeks now that Talarico can't risk coming out in favor of trans rights because he's running in Texas. But Andy Beshear has completely destroyed that argument by coming out in favor of trans rights as the blue governor of an even redder state than Texas!

For all its flaws, The Last Jedi had a compelling core message that one's potential is not defined by history or lineage, but instead shaped by their actions. And the fans overreacted with such fervor that Disney is now afraid of making a mainline Star Wars film that isn't about the Skywalkers.

Every single time someone on this website talks up AI "advancements", it ends with them showing us videos of AI doing something that we've already built the technology for. AI is "Call of Duty fish AI" but on a larger and far more expensive scale, and somehow people keep falling for it.

Post from @esqueer.net that reads:

"Researchers at Stanford loaded GPT-6 Astra into a humanoid robot. It explored its environment and built spatial context to navigate it to accomplish tasks.

These aren't just hallucinating chatbots anymore."

A Roomba is an autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner made by the company iRobot, and was first introduced in September 2002. Roombas have a set of sensors which help them navigate the floor area of a home. These sensors can detect the presence of obstacles and steep drops (e.g., to avoid falling down stairs).

As of 2024, iRobot markets models of their fourth through tenth generation, while continuing to provide support and to sell accessories for their previous series. Various models of the Roomba have different features, including tangle-free brushes, separate sweep canisters, more powerful vacuums, mopping technology, obstacle avoidance, and performance maps displayed via smartphone apps. Newer models also have a camera, which works in conjunction with onboard mapping and navigation software to systematically cover all floor areas, move from room to room, avoid obstacles such as pet waste and charging cables, and find charging stations.

Netanyahu is the leader of a country halfway around the world and here he is in front of the United Nations attacking NYC's mayor and a leftist Twitch streamer. The right wing fascists are so desperate to discredit the left because, unlike the left, they offer no real solutions to anything.

The full NYT interview is so dire. It's very clear that the only reason these 12 Trump voters consider themselves "swing" voters on Talarico/Paxton is because they hate Paxton. Most of them were quick to drift right back to the GOP the very moment that a "better" choice of candidate was offered.

When asked "Would you vote for John Cornyn over James Talarico is he were the Republican candidate in this race?", 7 of the 12 Trump voters raised their hand.

5 of them were Republicans (with only one not raising their hand) and the other 2 were Independents (half of the 4 present).

This seemingly implies that Cornyn would've swept up at least half of the "swing" voters and very likely won the election over Talarico, who is only leading by 2-6 points against a deeply hated candidate that all 12 of these people don't like.

In a just world, the UN wouldn't have let him speak, they would've arrested his ass on the spot. But that would risk angering the United States, so unfortunately here we are, giving this prick a platform he doesn't deserve instead of treating him to a small cell in an international prison.

The "Future of Marathon" post implies they're trying to recreate the Destiny "feel", which makes it clear that this was never about a "passion" for extraction shooters. The devs wanted to make Marathon, while studio execs wanted to chase a trend, and those interests conflicted.

From the "Future of Marathon" post:

Growing beyond Extraction

Marathon launched as a cutthroat, winner-takes-all PvEvP experience. We want to preserve that thrill for the players who enjoy it, while creating more ways for others to experience the world and find the level of challenge that works for them.

From the "Future of Marathon" post:

Some players want a quick, lower-pressure run after work. Some want to spend an entire night with their crew. Others want to test a build, compete directly against other players, chase a difficult challenge, or follow a strange clue deeper into the ruins of Tau Ceti IV.

Marathon needs to support all of them.

As we build from Symbiosis toward March and beyond, we’re focused on three areas.
More ways to play

PvEvP will remain an important part of Marathon, but it will become one point in a connected set of survival experiences.

We’re building toward:

Connected PvE, PvP, and PvEvP experiences
Different levels of intensity and commitment
Options for solo players and crews
More approachable ways to enter and learn the game
Experiences built around cooperation, competition, and high-risk survival

More approachable entry points will help new and returning players understand Marathon’s systems and build confidence before taking on its highest-stakes challenges. At the same time, experienced players will have more opportunities to test their mastery and pursue deeper challenges.

Centrists demand that we accept anti-trans candidates in red and purple states because "we can't win otherwise". But Newsom won't defend trans people despite being governor of a blue state, and they want HIM to run for president. Because at the end of the day, centrists just hate trans people.

They waited until people had forgotten about it and now they're dropping it on everyone suddenly so that the community doesn't have time to organize and push back like last time. If you didn't cancel Discord Nitro before, you should do so now, and don't renew it for any reason.

There is no way that Bungie can unvault the game AND eventually make new stuff for Destiny 2 AND keep working on an entire second game when they've laid off so much of the talent they needed to make it in the first place. Stop trusting executives just because they say what you want to hear.

Bungie has over 300 LESS employees now than they did in June, and they would have to rebuild most of this vaulted content from scratch. I don't see how they can possibly live up to this promise AND keep expanding Marathon. Feels like more empty promises, and I have no trust left to give to Bungie.

Honestly, all of the arguments against Commander damage are terrible. "21 is a weird number" is aesthetics and not a real justification to change anything, "it's too hard to track" is just an abject lie, and "it rarely comes up" at best only justifies YOU not tracking it, not a format change.

Getting endlessly tired of liberals saying Hillary Clinton was "right about everything". Just a few months ago she was encouraging us to accept Trump's plan on Gaza because it was the "best option" available. This is yet another late pivot because she's ALWAYS had shit political instincts.

Finally caught up on the #Zelda Direct and I have very mixed feelings. But I suppose my hottest take is that Link's high-res N64 mask looks so much better than Link's actual in-game face in the remake that it makes me wish they had just done the whole game like that instead.

A picture of Link as he appears in the Ocarina of Time remake. It honestly looks more like a puppet than a person.

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)

Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.
