Explanation:

I know there is a lot of doom going around. I certainly feel it. It feels like every fearful anxious nightmare has come to pass and like we are headed into oblivion. It's okay to feel that, it's okay to need some time to get back up.

That said, the fight isn't over. We're on the ropes, we've taken a beating, our leaders have failed us yet again, and our neighbors are actively pushing for the end, but the fight isn't over until we die or give up. Its not much of a meme, but I listen to these words from Andor when I need to remind myself, hopefully they'll find someone who needs to hear them today.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.

Hi friends,

I am here on behalf of my sister, who is stuck in Asheville at the moment. Power, cell service, food, and water are scarce and difficult to reach in the flooded streets and my sister is getting sick. I have been able to find some info on places distributing food and water, and have sent along what I can to her, but I was hoping some of my comrades here could help gather information on where distribution is happening and what routes to get around are workable. So far the best resource I have found is Citizen Times.

So please Hexbears and anyone else who sees this, could you add whatever you can be sure of to the community map and share helpful info for folks here? Thank you comrades!

I think capitalism can be understood as a living entity, a being composed of billions of smaller beings (people), essentially cells. It evolves (legally and through market innovations), has an immune response (police), and grows and reproduces itself (imperialism). The cells are independent life in their own right, but they exist almost wholely within the body of capitalism and the structure of their existence reinforces their participation in the greater whole of capitalism. All complex organisms are composites of smaller organisms and I think it makes sense to reason about capitalism and how to go about changing it or destroying it from this lens.

Hi all,

I'm a returning player, and I'm kind of stuck a bit in terms of progress. I have caught up on all quests and have a great wealth of frames and weapons, but I'm still struggling a fair bit every time I load into a steel path mission, or even really some particularly high level normal missions.

I was away for essentially the entire shield gating defensive meta and the AoE weapon meta, and while I feel my modding has caught up somewhat I'm still not sure I'm particularly good at finding or making builds. My warframes feel flimsy, almost regardless of defensive buffs, and while my Kuva Chakhurr hits hard enough to put things down, its somewhat slow and unwieldy while my more responsive weapons feel like they don't put out enough damage to get the galvanized stacks rolling.

So what I want to know from my fellow Tenno is, what do you think is required to really excel in Steel Path? Arcanes, archon shards, helminths, focus trees, weapons, incarnons, specific mods, etc. Anything you can think of that you think "I need to have this set before I toggle over to steel path"
