Psycho.

Maybe not adequately useless, because it's about to become extremely useful in housing my book collection:



This has been something like two years in the making -- I'd planned to do it before my daughter was born, as I was moving my home office out of what is now her bedroom, but my plans were derailed by foundation problems that I discovered in this room during the move-in process, and by the time those repairs were done I had a small child and it was hard to find contiguous blocks of time to saw/sand/stain/drill/etc.  So I've had the raw lumber and a box of shelf brackets and many boxes of books sitting in my garage for all that time, and this last week I had a nice chunk of time due to being between jobs, and I finally got it done.  It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

1999 Patch Notes

1999 tomorrow, December 13.

and that seems anathematic to progression in this game.

I would say that kind of gameplay, i.e sticking with only one thing is kind of anathema to games in general, I can understand the mindset because I have done it myself and depending on the game I will probably will do it again if I feel the need to specialise. As for Warframe, you can still specialise in one Warframe, one weapon and so forth. I have stuck to at least the one Warframe [Mesa] approach [plus I only touch Tenno/Orokin weapons] but that has changed because variety being the spice of life is true, if you don't experience the other things then you can miss out on something else that you would equally enjoy or more. I would suggest you give some others a try, you don't have to play with every Warframe or every weapon [you will have to get every one to 30 if you really want a mastery rank increase, which is why Hydron exists], not when Public is there, but just widen your horizons a little, instead of one Warframe have three as your mains, same with weapons. I myself have several frames that I touch above others, same with weapons really. Its always good to give yourself options, then you won't potentially get as bored. You can still have the one Warframe apparoach and add the extra bits to it when they come out [exilus etc] but for me that just leads to quicker burnout.

And as an extra about slots, Nightwave drops them fairly regularly and Plat is easy to make with trading, just sell a rare mod or two occasionally and you get all the slots you would ever need.

And holy shit I may finally finish off my pending Mastery Ranks:

Im MR 30 now, whoop whoop. Bow before me.

Kind of. I haven’t paid attention to the meta for a long time but you do have to reach certain mastery ranks to be able equip (some of) the more meta weapons. But the requirements aren’t usually that high. E.g. the Fulmin is MR 8 and the Arca Plasmor is 10. The Xoris is only 4. So yeah you have to grind equipment to get MR ranks to be able to use some of the stuff you want but eventually that’s no longer an issue and you can use whatever you want. If you have a setup already that you think can clear the Star Chart (non-Steel Path) that’s still a crap-ton of content to play through. You don’t need to keep doing the grind unless you want to do the harder content.

It is a looter shooter, though — the grind is the long-term point — there’s always some new stuff to collect, currencies and reputation to earn, etc.

It's not really about not having enough slots. It's that I don't like constantly playing new things. I'm a "find a fun build, grind with it nonstop" kind of player, and that seems anathematic to progression in this game.
