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. https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2024/09/30/world-central-kitchen-hearts-with-hands-distributes-food-water-more/75448814007/ https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2024/09/29/asheville-guide-to-finding-food-water-shelter-and-wi-fi-after-helene/75444723007/ 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!

Capitalism is essentially alive

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.

What do you need to get started in Steel Path?

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"

New Game Modes

So during the recent player survey, BHVR floated ideas for some additional game modes. I was curious what everyone thought of them. What were your favorites or which ones do you think are really missing the mark? Do you have any other fun ideas you think they're sleeping on? Personally, I really like the sound of Tag, 5v5 and 2v8. 5v5 sounds really interesting and like it would be a good place to sweat a little. Tag sounds like pure chaotic fun, and 2v8 sounds like it could be cool, though I am skeptical they could balance it. On the other side, I feel like Giant mode sounds like a boring novelty, and I don't understand the purpose of a Hide & Seek mode where auras are revealed every couple of seconds. That sounds like a waste of time to me, but maybe I'm missing something. As for a mode I think they're sleeping on, I think that Hide & Seek would be more fun if Survivors goal was to cross a map without being spotted. If you get spotted you're out, and if more than one survivor makes it, then time is the tie breaker. Maybe with more than one Killer to make it even spicier. ::: spoiler Also here are the ones BHVR included **Deceivers:** Survivors work together to complete tasks before one or more *"Deceivers"* can kill everyone without being discovered discovered Played in rounds with voting between each round **Swapped Perspective:** Killers play in 3rd person while survivors play in 1st person **Zombie Tag:** A random survivor is picked to be the Killer Down a player to switch roles Once a survivor turns into a killer they don't turn back Keep playing until there is only 1 survivor left **Bumrush:** More generators spawn on the map Everyone moves at double speed Survivors have 3 lives, from which they respawn after a 20-second death timer **2v8:** 2 killers against 8 survivors Hooks are removed but Cages of Atonement prevail **Luck of the Draw:** Start the game with randomized perks and items **Giant:** Sizes are altered! Killers are turned into giants, while survivors become tiny **Hide & Seek:** No generators No hooks, only Mori on downs Stay alive for 5 minutes to escape through the exit gates Auras will be revealed every couple of seconds **5v5v:** Two teams of 4 survivors and 1 Killer face off to control the generators. Capture the generators by moving generator progress towards your team's side in a tug of war gameplay **VIP:** When the obsession is killed everyone dies Only the obsession can open the exit gates for everyone **Tag:** A random survivor is picked to be the Killer Down a player to swap roles Survive for 5 minutes and escape :::
