#warframe: 1999 spoilers

[wyvernstail]

— you've given me a reason to be scared of dying, and that much more to live for.

I love my drifter

[oathed-milk]

Yeah the romance in Warframe 1999 is great and all but fuck have you considered the lore we are getting? And I by that I mean, actually having character motivations and exploration centre stage and explored in depth, followed by total fucking clownery tidbits. The absolute bullshit and shenanigans we are getting alongside some of the most heart wrenching reframings of the Drifter’s trauma and experiences?

Albrecht dragged an 8 foot tall bird into the future just to dip it in hell, also the Drifter thinks everyone loves the Operator more than them. Lotus, Ordis, fuck maybe that’s the only reason Teshin ever trained them?

Lettie named her nice rats after beloved friends, and her naughty rat after an ancient war god, and also Drifter hasn’t left 1999. It’s implied they could. They choose to stay because they don’t feel they belong back in the Origin System and never did.

Despite struggles with isolation and depression, Eleanor strives even to see the upsides of being infested every day, such as being able to jerk off with her tongue. Drifter grew up alongside Dominus Thrax and their friends in Duviri, playing every day, but then they grew up, and one day, probably after a slow and torturous build up, Thrax finally killed them for the first of countless times.

Quincy still has his dick, thank god for him. Drifter made the same choice as the Operator, to take the Man in the Wall’s hand, but instead it abandoned Drifter and merely saved, “them,” all the other Tenno, just as it said. Condemned to solitude through an unknowable entity’s arbitrary fucking games and wordplay. On a child.

We thought we’d be trauma healing the Hex this update but no actually, this is just Drifter’s first chance to talk to someone that isn’t their ~10 year old self and their mother about this.

shes literally perfect

[dfmm]

Warframe is wild for not only outright confirming that the primary, most personal antagonist for the player, the closest thing we know in this universe to an actual literal god, can be defeated by the actual literal power of love

but also that the example they use to confirm this is the toxic old man yaoi workplace situationship between unethical science georg who prepared for his time travel to 1999 by dressing up as a pokemon trainer and his pathetic failtwink Ygor

[warframestuff]

[wizardofburnsyou]

1999 is the best Warframe update because they let me kiss my beautiful wife on (in game) new years

But also because of a bug Y2K actually happened for like 15 minutes and everyone was distraught in global chat because they couldn't get their kiss

Show modern Warframe to a player from 2013 to melt their brains like giving coke to a Victorian child
