Man

Warframe is still a hell of a drug.

@icefox tell me? Been meaning to give it a go...

@eryn I'm just revisiting it after like... three years of not playing it. And on some ways it's exactly the same. And on others it's just... a sublime extension of the general idea.

The creators are INSANE. That is basically the one constant in the setting.

@icefox i um.

That's a hell of an elevator pitch, I don't entirely know what to do with it.

What...is it, even?

@eryn Okay.

AT ROOT, it is a 4-player co-op 3rd person shooter.

IN SPIRIT, it is these gamedevs looking at the world and saying "you know what we need? SPACE NINJAS." And then doing everything in their considerable power to make SPACE NINJAS as space-ninja-y as possible.

@icefox i'm sold, can i run it on my lap-potato?

(apparently no potatOS support, gonna have to wait until I have my desktop reassembled)

@eryn It's Windows-only but I managed to run it on an Intel HD 4000something at... well, 20 fps or so. It wasn't pretty though.

If you have a *pretty good* potato it's probably playable.

@icefox i have a very good potato.

@eryn I'm a little bit jealous of that potato.

...where can I get a potato-y monitor setup like that?

@icefox i could fix you up but it'll cost ya a couple of yams and prolly like sixty or so pounds of metal?

I build these things for people and install them, this isn't even the big version...

@eryn I have access to a pipe bender and technically know how to weld (or at worst, know people who actually know how to weld).

I'd honestly never considered that as a venue for building computer-supporting hardware, but now I'm going to have to get some paper and start sketching...

@eryn That's basically all I can ask from anyone. Thank you, you are now my new best friend. ❤
