Speaking of which the 1999 update has a slots QoL improvement. I will still gift you basic newbie stuff if you want them, though.

Quality of Life Changes
As part of our New Player Experience improvements this year, one of the largest pieces of feedback we’ve heard from players is “increase default slot counts!” — so, we’re doing just that.

New Players as of Warframe: 1999 will see their default slots increased as follows:
Weapon slots: increased by 3
Warframe slots: increased by 1

Additionally, we are changing Boltor and Fragor blueprints earned from Junctions to fully built weapons, meaning new players will earn 2 additional weapon slots as they progress through the Star Chart.

If you’re an existing player, these additional Warframe and Weapon slots will be delivered to you via inbox message with the Update’s release. Depending on your Junction progress, you’ll receive the fully built Fragor and Boltor as well.

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

Mastery Rank Tests - Failure Cooldown
Mastery Rank Tests will no longer make you wait 24 hours upon failing an attempt. This means you can continue with your Mastery Rank attempts until you succeed — with only a bruised ego holding you back from trying again!

The cooldown timer will remain for successful attempts.

No. They give out free slots of various types on occasion like in the season passes but otherwise it's rough if you are F2P. I can gift you as many slots as you need, though, if you want to get back into the game as I literally have more plat than I know what to do with.

I haven't played this in forever, but I really enjoyed the moment to moment gameplay. What I did not like was the constant need to switch to new mechs/guns/etc. to make progress, destroying your old ones due to limited inventory. Have they ever done anything to address that?

Xaku Prime by the way was recently released. Along with Trumna Prime and Quassus Prime.

Khorne, Greenskins and Ogre Kingdoms.

This is a picture I took about ten years ago that features three things that you can't get (or get to) any more: the Hyde St Pier (where the tall boats are docked) and the Municipal Pier (where I was crabbing when I snapped this) are both closed now, and Anchor is still in transition so there's no Christmas Ale this year.  All will hopefully return someday.

They did, it just took so long that I thought they'd ghosted me and was expecting to have to line something else up after quitting the current gig.  Instead the timing worked out perfectly. The interview process was weird in general -- no tech screening, just 5 rounds of shooting the shit with 5 different people.  Most of the people I talked to have been at the company for more than 20 years and say it's the best job they've had.  My last few gigs have been kinda miserable and ended with me quitting in frustration after about a year, but based on the extremely positive rep this place has I'm hoping this is the one that I can stay at until I'm ready to retire.

Did they just not interview you?

me, giving notice with nothing else lined up amid a sea of industry layoffs, and getting a job offer from a better company (not another fucking startup, lol) eight days later

Hey, maybe the robot uprising will begin there! We can only hope!
