This is less about defending Tencent and more about going against this sensationalist bullshit on how Tencent is EXTRA BAD because China is worse somehow.

I haven't seen anyone here get mad that Tencent is Chinese, but then again, my reading comprehension is at an all-time low due to these delicious, delicious paint chips. My problems with Tencent stem primarily from the fact it's owned wholly or in part by the CCP, and thus my.plat purchases are going to help fund ethnic extermination camps.

Which is wrong. As a US citizen I only want my money going toward American-made ethnic extermination camps! And they're completely okay now that we have a member of Blue Team as prez! AMERICA!

I think people are influenced by examples in recent memory of chinese politics influencing video game stuff, like blizzard and the free hong kong stuff, or hololive with one of their streamers casually mentioning taiwan and one of the responses being to immediately censor the streamer's name from another video game. Even if the incidents are small, it's the kind of thing i don't remember happening recently with anti-US-government politics in video games, but also i don't watch video game streams enough to see if anyone has gone full : d2a: during an esports tournament. If anyone has literally any examples of this happening with other country's video games I'd legitimately like to hear it.

As a Taiwanese person living in the West who went to protest in Hong Kong and is stoutly against the CCP, good. There's a huge difference between a streamer saying free Hong Kong and some snot nosed brat trying to start a campaign for free speech by posting threads on the forums crying about how they can't troll people with free Hong Kong. People are still whining about not being allowed to say transphobic poo poo each week.

Not here, but "jokes" about Nezha (which just consist of calling him slurs) are commonplace and you get to see plenty of Gamers angry they got banned for it in the other WF communities.

Hello, it's nearly Christmas! This means it is time for the yearly Christmas giveaway!

The rules are the same as previous years:

One gift only. It has to be something that ultimately "resolves" to one thing or package. It can be anything, though I suggest not asking for normal Warframes... except maybe Protea because dear Lord that is dire.

Must be in GOON or AKGOON.

If interested, quote this post and make your request. Same thing as every other year. Merry Christmas!


If you're still taking requests and it's not too much, a Bonewidow would be cool to have while the affinity boost is going.

Yeah, I know he's popular, the entire kit is just unfun for me. Discounting Fire Walker because it's subsumed, you're left with "very unreliable bouncy disc or a straight line disc, with fancy effects that would work better if it actually hit anything and didn't take longer than just shooting them to death", "iron skin but slightly different", and "generic aoe kill ult whose only distinguishing feature is making the bouncy disc slightly less impossible to aim properly". None of that is particularly appealing over other frames for me to pull him out much more.
FWIW if it gives an idea of taste, my usual frames are Hildryn, Wukong, Revenant, and Vauban with a sprinkling of others for specific niches (Nekros for farming drops, Mesa or Volt for ESO, etc). Nezha works but he's so far outside of my play style. (Have to play fairly slowly due to a combination of coordination issues for aiming & ongoing nerve damage concerns that make the rapid slide/bullet jump process uncomfortable, though doable.)

Nezha 2 is really not as hard to hit with as you’re making it out to be and is an incredible damage multiplier on single entities, plus it works on a lot of things you wouldn’t expect it to work on (thumpers, liches, most if not all bosses, etc) and it’s a damage multiplier that the entire squad benefits from.

Discount slidey boy if you want, but his 2 is incredible

The charged mode is fairly easy to hit with. The regular bouncing mode, I don't think has ever once gone where I wanted it to bounce to.

For any switch players that might be new, the Ignis wraith is at baro right now and is 100% worth picking up. Also we didn't get the infinite Ignis wraith event PC/other consoles got, so it's pretty much the only way of getting it on switch.

The side guns can destroy a tether as soon as it's deployed wasting the energy and making the pilot frustrated because instead of destroying 20 fighters in one second the others who are trying to have fun and find a way to contribute are hindering the mission by shooting one fighter at a time.

Not exactly great design there, either for a fun perspective or from the perspective of teammates only getting in the way when they are trying to do the most logical thing to help, shooting the bad guys.
