My Captura submission for Warframe's #Tennotober2025 October 15th - Carry the Fire Warframe is raising donations to support the The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation during their "Carry the Fire" campaign 💜 www.warframe.com/qtcc

Stylized photo mode screenshot from the video game Warframe. The warframe Trinity is standing in the street and holding her hand up into the air, while large pink sunbursts erupt from her hand and light up the surrounding area. The image is primarily black-and-white but has a soft pink background.

Been having fun doing the little daily Captura thingy in Warframe for October. Here are my captures so far 🤘 #Tennotober2025

Prompt: Concert

High contrast mostly black-and-white screenshot showing the warframe "Mesa" sitting up against a couch in a back alley. The area is lit only by the glow of a television set.

Prompt: Triad

Three characters from Warframe are standing together in a room. The characters are darkly lit and appear primarily as silhouettes, while the background is a soft pastel pink and blue. One of the dudes has a very large gun but otherwise seems pretty chill.

Prompt: The Round Table

The warframe "Nyx" is sitting underneath a large circular light. She has a pair of white demonic wings and she is looking down and to the side. The image is high contrast, a mix of harsh black-and-white structures with a soft yellowish background.

Prompt: Motes

A girl is seen from behind and is standing in a fancy laboratory with her arm outstretched, her hand resting on a very large, blue crystalline object. The object has large black sciencey-looking tubes coming out of it.

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

Oh yeah my mom wasn't able to breastfeed just because her body refused to do it, so without formula/bottles I would have just kind of died? Like maybe breastfeeding would have been better for me, but it wasn't an option so why make my mom feel shitty for doing the absolute best she could?

Yeah according to this article it was to accommodate for the cost in developing AI. So like, cutting out the parts of your company that make money to pay for the parts that don't. www.seattletimes.com/business/mic...

Screenshot from the article that reads: As Microsoft cuts corporate ranks, the company is investing heavily in artificial intelligence.

Microsoft’s push into AI doesn’t mean the company is replacing workers with the technology. Rather, the significant cost of building out the infrastructure over multiple years has Microsoft looking to trim costs where it can.

During the company’s 2025 fiscal year, which ended on Monday, Microsoft said it planned to spend more than $80 billion on infrastructure to meet AI demands. That’s a $25 billion increase in capital expenditures from the company’s 2024 fiscal year.
