It's all about this, regardless of weapon.

[static lark]

Lemme go find the videos

[uneven barn]

that's true

[weary hedge]

This. I’ve seen it go through some shit and work fine

[static lark]

[hallow shadow]

Buying ammo is cost effective for…

For my cigarette smokers…
I can buy casings, powder, primers, etc.
And assemble that my own way..
Much the same as I can buy empty tubes, a bag of tobacco, and a packer to make my own smokes.

[brittle sigil]

I’m talking the most earlier ar15 platforms the ones of today are pretty solid

[static lark]

This is Ian and his friend from Forgotten Weapons

[uneven barn]

also

[static lark]

The mud they put in their rifles is basically cement

[uneven barn]

both ak and ar platform are made for different things

[hallow shadow]

Yes. Time consuming, but I’m also more acutely aware of what my firearm is capable of.

But I have to be careful.
I’ll ruin my Glock.

[brittle sigil]

Ak ultimate bad guy gun haha 🤣

[shrewd needle]

No, I get that, I just figure it'd be time-consuming due to having to do it all yourself. And one mistake can, uh...though I know you're a professional, but still...

OTOH, having seen Kentucky Ballistics almost blow his face off with that Serbu explosion...IDK what to even say.

That made me wince with his descriptions, NGL...painful as phuck.

[static lark]

That’s the MP40

[weary hedge]

That’s why. Ofc a gun in early production is going to have some flaws. The ak did aswell

[brittle sigil]

That was deadly af and scary

[static lark]

The AK is usually seen as the “freedom fighters gun”

[uneven barn]

that's the uzi

[shrewd needle]

.50 BMG too, not even some small round...like, major scary.

[static lark]

The AR is the “black rifle” and the FAL is the “right arm of the free world”

[hallow shadow]

Yeah. It takes time.
But I’m not always cranking out rounds.

I have 12 mags, on deck, for the larger platform.
5 on deck for regular such craziness.

I personally carry a 92FS, even though I hate on 1911’s.

[brittle sigil]

Was a slap round too those are scary so I’ve heard

[hallow shadow]

I don’t hand load my 92F.
That is freaky,

[static lark]

But this is a comparison of the AR and AK

[shrewd needle]

Yea...I mean, something that can break an anti-material rifle into 2 is...hazardous.

[weary hedge]

That thing will turn someone to mist so yeah 😂

[brittle sigil]

Very

[shrewd needle]

What weapons do you generally shoot with?

[brittle sigil]

Not as scary as the rofus round or whatever it’s called

[shrewd needle]

Raufoss Mk 211, I think. HEAPI?

[static lark]

https://youtube.com/shorts/q3wvrehnYWM?si=ABVPZbcmXDUmIpj2

[static lark]

There’s another just covering an AR

[brittle sigil]

Yeah that one 🤣 explosive tipped

[shrewd needle]

Isn't the Raufoss a full cartridge? Or a saboted one?

[static lark]

I shoot anything, guns enamor me. I love guns I love learning how they work I love learning the designs I love knowing the intricacies of guns

[hallow shadow]

Sabots are insane.

Absolute pink mist.

[shrewd needle]

TBF, I expect that to be a very tiny explosion compared to an RPG? Like...a match-stick vs. a gas cylinder fire?

[uneven barn]

the problem is not really the slap round, but the fact it was recharged with a way higher amount of gunpowder than it should

[frigid hill]

j4m3s87513 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hallow shadow]

No other comparison.

[static lark]

If it was up to me I’d design guns and custom build guns

[shrewd needle]

Oh, I was asking that to Mewtwo, but I'm all for knowing more about weapons from anyone.

[weary hedge]

These are just obsurd. As if the 50bmg didn’t do enough damage😂

[brittle sigil]

If it hits you your dead and pink mist 🤣 or so I’ve heard

[shrewd needle]

Guns enamour me too, but...I'm stuck in a place without guns, so...pain.

[static lark]

I learned machining just to know how to machine metal to work on guns

[shrewd needle]

I think the Raufoss is meant for muzzle-level damage at 2000 metres?

[brittle sigil]

Pretty much they weren’t designed for personal 🤣 more of a bunker buster and vehicle annihilation

[strong onyx]

not me buying even more guns

[shrewd needle]

I know, I'm just comparing, since end of the day, it's still a small bullet and not a dedicated explosive.

[static lark]

I intend on going to actual gunsmithing school just to learn how to properly design guns. I’ve always loved guns from the first time I saw them in movies, in games, in person

[shrewd needle]

Have you built any yet?

[static lark]

Oh no the government would WACO me

[weary hedge]

That makes sense but god damn

[shrewd needle]

Man, don't burn me. What you buying? Again, anyone who uses weapons, I'm more than willing to learn about 'em.

[static lark]

The first gun I ever shot was my grandads Marlin .22

[shrewd needle]

I mean, couldn't you register them normally as a custom gun or something? I thought there were custom categories?

[strong onyx]

Rifles, holster just came in for my new gun, and I’m buying more ammo.

[shrewd needle]

Yea, like I said, it's made for muzzle-level damage at range...since you're losing energy as you move, no?

[static lark]

I’d have to register for a bunch of licenses and pay a metric shit ton in taxes

[weary hedge]

I love stocking up and collecting ammo. It’s so satisfying 😂

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but what gun? Also, show pictures if you ever can. I'll love seeing some new.

[strong onyx]

Maybe the Army will give me a gun fund? 😆

[brittle sigil]

Feel like you’ve just got lots of random ammo collected 🤣

[shrewd needle]

My condolences to that bureaucracy; maybe you can still do it by joining a regular firearms company, at least?

[strong onyx]

Rifle is one from PSA, don’t have it yet.

[weary hedge]

I do. Almost enough to fill up the bed of a truck

[brittle sigil]

If he shows a 40MM shell I’ll be impressed 🤣

[strong onyx]

PA-15.

[shrewd needle]

Is that even legal?

[strong onyx]

Yeah, far as I know.

[brittle sigil]

Explo probably not but smokes probably

[weary hedge]

Anything is legal in America with the right licenses buddy

[strong onyx]

You can own an RPG warhead. Long as you have the paperwork.

[brittle sigil]

But tbf who doesn’t want a grenade launcher 🤣

[static lark]

I’d need a gunsmithing license, a FFL (Federal Firearms License), a ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations), and a Class 3 SOT (Special Occupational Taxpayer)

[shrewd needle]

WTF? 40mm explosives are LEGAL?

[strong onyx]

Suppressors don’t even need to pay a tax stamp anymore.

[static lark]

Anything is legal if you throw enough money at it

[weary hedge]

MERICA 🇺🇸

[shrewd needle]

I know, but I'd expect explosive licenses to...not even be allowed for civilians? Or at least extremely expensive.

[brittle sigil]

So does this mean I can go buy myself lots of 40MM and the infamous mk19 automatic grenade launcher 🤣

[strong onyx]

To an extent yeah. You can legally own a tank here too.

[static lark]

Do you have like 100k dollars to throw away on all the licenses you need?

[brittle sigil]

Screw the 50cao browning m2 I want the mk19!

[brittle sigil]

Not a chance 🤣 but I can dream!

[shrewd needle]

So do I.

[static lark]

But yeah no I’ve always been enamored by firearms and firearm technology

[shrewd needle]

Would you still need those if you wanted to work for a firearms company? Like, if you joined Remington or something.

[weary hedge]

Or just hit the black market😂

[shrewd needle]

Then get arrested because the dealer is an undercover cop. 😏

[static lark]

I’m unsure, im sure you’d have to licensed in gunsmithing at least but I really don’t know

[strong onyx]

To do what?

[weary hedge]

You’ll have some agents knocking on ur door if ur not careful enough tho😭

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but you already want to learn gun-smithing.

[hallow shadow]

That’s a lot of weight.

[strong onyx]

Just by working for a company doesn’t mean you can just buy whatever you want. Doesn’t work that way.

[hallow shadow]

Lugging that ammo around sucks, and you gotta know your rounds.

[shrewd needle]

He's interested in making his own guns but the license and taxes deter him, so I'm asking if he'd need that as an employee of an existing compay.

[strong onyx]

Join the military. 😆 they’ll teach you.

[hallow shadow]

M320 is a beautiful weapon.

Especially when it’s on its own.

[strong onyx]

I wasn’t actually joking.

[static lark]

I mentioned wanting to build and design guns, and he asked me what I’d have to do to do that and I told him

[weary hedge]

With ur bare hands 😂

[strong onyx]

I was being sorta serious.

[static lark]

Don’t join the military

[weary hedge]

Oh yeah they have a ton of schooling for that sorta thing

[strong onyx]

Too late for me.

[strong onyx]

Exactly.

[shrewd needle]

No, I know that. But I was talking about him seriously wanting to build guns, and I figure that he's right with needing licenses as an independent manufacturing.

But I was asking if he'd need that bureaucracy for joining an existing compay.

[static lark]

Unless you are in serious trouble and/or are incomprehensibly broke do NOT join the military

[hallow shadow]

Working for a company places you in a rut.
No creative freedom that doesn’t coincide with the company’s vision.
Even then, your work becomes the company’s.

[strong onyx]

Why?

[shrewd needle]

I'd join just to wake up early...

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but it's a good place to learn skills; then you can maybe branch out on your own?

[hallow shadow]

Building your own, for your own, is the better feel.

As to what nets more business? I dunno.
I don’t sell my stuff.

[weary hedge]

Wake up early and do PT and if ur late get chewed out

[strong onyx]

Then don’t be late. If you are on time you are late.

[static lark]

Cause everyone I’ve ever talked to who was in the military not only has multiple issues with their bodies and regret ever joining

[hallow shadow]

Learning to machine, and reload are awesome skills.

But unless you work for a nice group. You’ll almost always be taken advantage of.

[shrewd needle]

I'm too heavy a sleeper for my own good; I need a drill sergeant to drill that discipline in my head.

Not even joking, I've had my life ruined due to that. So one reason I'd join is that.

[strong onyx]

We have different experiences then.

[static lark]

oh this guy fell deep into the propaganda.

Give it a few years let the patriotism wear out

[weary hedge]

I’m just saying there’s always those guys

[hallow shadow]

One of my old squad leaders lives up in the Mid West. He has a gunsmithing company.

[strong onyx]

It’s been twenty years and it still hasn’t.

[hallow shadow]

Well. Business. He ain’t no big ass name, and that’s the point.

[shrewd needle]

Of course; I'd just join to learn, then find somewhere nice.

Because end of the day, no better way to learn (especially to save money) by going for a corporation...they'll teach you good enough to make you self-reliant, in this case.

[strong onyx]

Personally? I bleed red white and blue. It’s all I know and will ever know. I should be signing my contract by the end of the month.

[shrewd needle]

Maybe Lazarus can join them if possible.

[hallow shadow]

Army didn’t teach me to do all that.
My dad did.

[static lark]

Oh this guy doesn’t know how corporate America works

[shrewd needle]

Well, I'm not American...but it beats paying for your own education...you know...

Even the lowest-grade, but company-paid training beats your own money.

[hallow shadow]

PhD in Physical Chemistry and Thermonuclear Dynamics.

He also taught me how to weld.

I can make some neat shit.

[shrewd needle]

Did you say...thermo-nuclear dynamics?

[weary hedge]

The military has alot of benefits for personnel life choices. But yes our military is a big rabbit hole

[hallow shadow]

Yes. Hes a smart man, and I’m adopted.

[hallow shadow]

Truly

[strong onyx]

Real.

[static lark]

Idk how it is in other countries, but in America everything is based on contracts. You sign a contract to work, you sign a contract with the government to be a citizen, you sign a contract to bank, you sign contracts to sign contracts

[shrewd needle]

IDC about the adoption (all that matters is parenting and the person's quality), but man...what did he used to do to have a Ph.D in chemistry and thermo-nuclears?

[rigid robin]

He set his whole life on finding an equation

[hallow shadow]

He’s done much. His Dissertation was something for oil pipes and such.

[shrewd needle]

Right, that's how corporations are, but again, if you're starting from scratch, signing a contract and getting to learn shit using the corporation's resources is not a bad idea, is it?

[hallow shadow]

Was offered a NASA job, but didn’t want to live in a bunker.

Became a college professor, instead.

[analog lintel]

Do you think Dalin wears thigh highs under his suit

[rigid robin]

Well

[static lark]

Now if you’re working for a little company then a contract will mostly just be that you agree to work at this place for x amount of money per this amount of time

[shrewd needle]

I thought NASA was...not bunkers and more space?

[rigid robin]

Dalin doesn't wear underwear

[strong onyx]

That’s why the military is so appealing to me.

[weary hedge]

Everyone has to be held liable and accountable in America. There is no if ands or buts

[hallow shadow]

“Hrk.. Grk… Harder… Anakin”

[shrewd needle]

Everyone except the politicians. 😏

[strong onyx]

You basically can’t be fired unless you do stupid shit with guaranteed raises every x years of service, plus other benefits. 👏👏

[weary hedge]

Unless you have enough money to give the hush😂

[shrewd needle]

Stupid shit like 'A Few Good Men'? 😏

[rigid robin]

With all do respect where does this aquatic name come from??

[strong onyx]

More like stupid shit like doing crack.

[shrewd needle]

You ain't a politician without enough money to pay for 69,420 hushes. 😏

[static lark]

But for big corporations your contracts will be more restrictive you can’t just take your training then leave how you’re suggesting. They’ll sue you for breach of contract etc etc etc

[shrewd needle]

Damn...that's still a problem... 😔

[strong onyx]

Random name generator.

[strong onyx]

Every group has its assholes, that hasn’t changed.

That was also just an example.

[rigid robin]

Something made you feel closer to humans

[shrewd needle]

No, of course not...you're expected to work there for a bit and 'pay back' the corporation for all the investment in you.

But again, once your contract runs out, you can be freer than that? Use the contract to up-skill, then swap out.

[shrewd needle]

Oh, no...I know...it's a lot worse; the rot runs deep.

[weary hedge]

Yeah our political position is really disgusting. We have alot of filthy people with too much power that should be rotting away in prison

[rigid robin]

OKay

[shrewd needle]

Starting with your El Presidente? 😏

||I'm so getting banned from entering the USA...||

[rigid robin]

What the frig guys

[hallow shadow]

You could swap out. To a better company.
Learn more.

But creating your own requires licensing and booku money.

[weary hedge]

He ain’t mine but he’s someone’s 😂

[rigid robin]

You all talk so much about politics but you're on a game discord complaing instead of making change LMFAO

[shrewd needle]

True dat...everything does...and even with money, if they smell something wrong, you're screwed. And so is your money.

[static lark]

I don’t disagree with you. I love America I think it’s the best nation on earth, hell everyone should wish they were American… but im not going to lie to myself and say nothing is wrong with the country, its the best we have, but its not perfect

[strong onyx]

That makes one of us, then. Doesn’t it?

[shrewd needle]

Damn...truest thing ever said. But we're all miserable idiots.

[weary hedge]

We are talking about gun, and the making of them.

He don’t know the first think about me lmao. Just cause I’m yapping about some stupid crap doesn’t mean I don’t do anything about the situation 😂🙏

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but it's the internet...never know when you'll step on a mine-field...

[strong onyx]

Personally that’s why I’m trying to enlist, make a difference even if it’s a small one. 🤏

[rigid robin]

I N T E R N E T

[hallow shadow]

Resistance takes many forms.

[shrewd needle]

At least you still can enlist. I realized I wanted to long after maximum age.

Got screwed nicely.

[strong onyx]

Plus the pay doesn’t hurt…

[shrewd needle]

Only the tours do. 😏

[rigid robin]

bro you say internet as if it is brand new. You know what you are getting yourself into

[strong onyx]

That’s unfortunate. I’m going on 25 this year so I’m still good for now.

[hallow shadow]

Military pay kinda sucks.
It’s just “guaranteed”, so long as you aren’t a shithead.

[shrewd needle]

Yea...still good for that. For us, 24 is maximum age, I think (for combat roles).

[strong onyx]

They just got my bloodwork back today, I’m disease free. 👏

[rigid robin]

You all cemented the fact that every gamer discord is retarded

[hallow shadow]

The fiscal security is the main attention grabber.

[shrewd needle]

I am, no denial.

[static lark]

You gonna chill out or

[rigid robin]

I appreciate that

[shrewd needle]

I mean...the entire military is one big bureaucratic shit-head, so...

[hallow shadow]

No. That’s just your misconception.

What are you doing to make the world a better place?

[strong onyx]

Real.

[static lark]

I’m literally in here talking about guns not talking about anything to do with politics and im getting called retarded

[weary hedge]

Damn that’s crazy bro. You done venting yet?

[rigid robin]

Bro only knows how to spell Real.

[strong onyx]

Talks about people complaining while complaining it seems.

[hallow shadow]

The military is the biggest socialist complex the U.S. has, and we don’t even acknowledge it.

[rigid robin]

The biggest problem is not being comrades within ourselves

[static lark]

(He just called socialism bureaucratic)

[weary hedge]

The boy just needs to let off a little steam 😂

[shrewd needle]

I mean...considering the money dumped into that instead of education or actual social services...maybe everyone should be part of that 'socialist' empire, eh?

[rigid robin]

P O L I T I C S

[strong onyx]

You didn’t answer the question though, pivoted in fact.

[rigid robin]

What was the question

[shrewd needle]

Let's be honest, everything with governments is bureaucratic as shit.

Even anarchy has bureaucracy. It's never getting rid of organization.

[weary hedge]

Ya don’t say😂

[strong onyx]

yawn.

[rigid robin]

No what was the question

[strong onyx]

Reading is hard, isn’t it?

[static lark]

You guys are the most unhinged people I think I’ve ever talked to

[hoary crest]

I mean, you asked me what image perms were earlier... pot and kettle.. 😄

[hallow shadow]

What are you doing to better the world?

[rigid robin]

I am asking you what was the question

[shrewd needle]

Should've seen this place at its peak, before S2. 😆

I speak from experience, as unfortunate as it gets.

[hallow shadow]

If our complaints are so damn bad.
What are you doing to show us up?

I will help and heal the unfortunate without comprimise

[strong onyx]

With all due respect, I’m gonna fart in your vicinity and wave it towards you.

[shrewd needle]

It's like...a tradition. Once per day, there's geo-politics involved here.

Which, TBF, they shouldn't be, but...well...

[static lark]

Wasn’t strider the protagonist of one of the other games

Or am I stupid

[hallow shadow]

Scar?

[static lark]

Well there’s Scar yeah

But who’s the other protagonists of the og trilogy

[distant sierra]

how long you guys thing, current roadmap, will take GSC to make it happen at the end of 2025?

[hallow shadow]

I think Nimble?

[static lark]

Scar Nimble and Strelok?

[hallow shadow]

I could be wrong. I have no TrilOG experience.

[weary hedge]

Scar, Strelok and Major Alexander Alexandrovitsch Degtyarev are the people you play in the 3

[static lark]

Yeah does that dude have a nickname or?

[hallow shadow]

Deggy?

[weary hedge]

Not sure I just called him Major

[static lark]

Is he in S2?

Cause don’t you have to save all the protags for one of the endings

[hallow shadow]

Whoa.
Starship Troopers: Extermination has an update?

Cool. Still waiting on Helldivers 2

OH, THE BF6 BETA IS BACK OPEN

CLICK-CLACK, and fight back, boys!

[weary hedge]

I haven’t encountered him in the story but he could be off the beaten path somewhere

[hallow shadow]

Time to max out this busted SGX

[static lark]

Yeahhh im not playing bf6

[hallow shadow]

It’s not a bad time.

You on Xbox? Let’s drop in, together.

[static lark]

If they’d added new weapons I would have but I have nothing to grind for besides the new challenges and the rewards don’t look allat great

[weary hedge]

Battlefield is so back baby. They doing the community proud

[hallow shadow]

It’s a Beta, dude…

[rigid robin]

Exactly, doesn't mean a thing

[hallow shadow]

Who’s on Xbox? Who wants to squad up, and take to the field?

[shrewd needle]

Yea, Degtyarev is running the Corps in S2.

Promoted from Major in CoP to Colonel.

[hallow shadow]

Complimentary “overdone military chatter comedic relief” voice acted by me.

[static lark]

I’m not calling the game garbage dUdE… I just wanted a few new guns to grind for and they didn’t add any… so im not gonna play it cause im already max level, and theres nothing for me to grind for besides the dog tag and 2 skins that i dont want

[hallow shadow]

Let’s get CORNY

[rigid robin]

I see nothing but complaints about games but if I ask you to look at yourself it might be a BF6 map

[weary hedge]

Bettt can you talk to him in game?

[static lark]

The Corps?

[rigid robin]

We can make our own Faction

[hallow shadow]

We don’t even know what is or isn’t fully available, yet. But. I can respect that.

[static lark]

Where are they?

[weary hedge]

How far are you in the game?

[shrewd needle]

Yea, he's part of the main story in 2 paths, I think, and in 2 others, you only deal with him when saving his butt from Monolith. The 'saving him' happens in all paths.

[shrewd needle]

Degtyarev's Corps. Made to protect Jupiter and Pripyat. Met near the end of the game.

[rigid robin]

Do you ever get tired of being right?

[weary hedge]

Ahhh I must have missed his name😔

[static lark]

Uhhhhh I need to still go talk to the Prof outside of the island

[rigid robin]

Oh

[shrewd needle]

All good, but yea, that's him.

Basically the only sane guy in the Zone, the only sane protagonist and the only one who got shafted in screen time.

[static lark]

But I got side tracked to take Scar an Emitter from the sphere

[weary hedge]

You still have a bit before encountering them. I’d just keep playing to avoid spoilers. They are a cool group

[static lark]

Idrc about spoilers (which people seem to hate)

[hallow shadow]

Let’s test the Starship Troopers update.
What is this…? Version 1.6?

[shrewd needle]

Needed more time in the story NGL. But then the story is quite the dump, so...meh.

[hallow shadow]

Only good bug is a dead bug.

[shrewd needle]

Man of culture. Same here.

[static lark]

Got a lot of flak thrown my way the other day cause I was asking what I had to do for each ending the other day

[hallow shadow]

The Zone needs Morita weapons, and Arachnids.

[weary hedge]

For real. I loved the whole CoP story.

[shrewd needle]

Isn't ST basically full of jingoistic humour?

[rigid robin]

Can I just saying buying the upgraded edition makes you a loser

[hallow shadow]

ST, as a book that came out in 1959, is not the same as the ST that aired on screen in ‘97

The movies satirize and bastardize the book.

[shrewd needle]

Same; I played through the entire game except the ending (I think a BSoD or some other crap prevented me). The old engine is unstable even in CoP at times, and that's saying something considering CoP is the most refined and stable game of the trilogy.

[static lark]

yeah ST and HD2 both, it’s supposed to be parody

[rigid robin]

Watch the movie, no anime waifus sorry guys

[hallow shadow]

So yes. The humor is there, but it’s to make fun of people espousing right winged ideology.

It’s where Helldivers came from.

[static lark]

ST is a parody of a Book and HD is a Parody of ST

[shrewd needle]

Yea, I was just wondering; been a long time since I watched ST.

[hallow shadow]

I didn’t fully understand that movie, until I got out of the army.

[shrewd needle]

Yea, HD is kind of obvious, but ST, been a while, so was confused.

[distant sierra]

and ur parody of knowledge

[rigid robin]

I am sure you have all read and watched the movie. But based on your perspective it's gross

[weary hedge]

I also had a bunch of issues but it didn’t really bother me. I was so hooked 😂

[hallow shadow]

Watch it again, from the “Ha! That’s what every right winger sounds like” kind of perspective.
It gets WAY better.

[shrewd needle]

Same; I was hooked too, but man...that ending made me feel bad.

Maybe I can play now, but I lack space...and with games like S2 being 150 GB, well...FML.

[static lark]

ST is one of the best sci-fi films made imo

[rigid robin]

This game gets better the more you dive in. Hit my favorite game of all time

[shrewd needle]

I mean, it's 2025...it's going to be so much different than back from 2005...

[rigid robin]

P O L I T I C S

[shrewd needle]

In movies.

[weary hedge]

Me too. I felt bad for the dude the whole time. Especially once I hit Pripyat

[hallow shadow]

‘97. But you right.

[rigid robin]

2006

[shrewd needle]

No, I mean that's around when I watched it. World (and perspective) has changed a lot since then.

[rigid robin]

Has anyone here watched the series Chernobyl on netflix?

[static lark]

Hey bro im gonna say this as kindly as I can… can you please stop trying to ruin the conversation everyone is having by just inserting random sentences and words to try to sound intellectual

[hallow shadow]

Ahhhh. I forget I’m a different age.

Apologies.

[stark crescent]

ukranian games festival! the games :

stalker
stalker
stalker

femboy ero vn

stalker

[shrewd needle]

Same. But considering S2...I guess he did alright; he basically survived the insanity and made it through to S2 in one piece...unlike the rest of them.

And even in S2, he remains normal without losing his shit. Maximum respect.

[rigid robin]

F E M B O Y S Q U A D

[static lark]

Both Strelok and Scar are insane

[shrewd needle]

All good; I'm a '90s kid, but...well...yea.

[hallow shadow]

Oh? I thought you were like… 20.

[stark crescent]

metro is ukranian?

[rigid robin]

Russian

[hallow shadow]

Fair enough.

[stark crescent]

developer, numnuts

[static lark]

I think the game studio is Ukrainian ye

[shrewd needle]

Scar got shafted by the C-Consciousness, unfortunately, and Strelok is jaded by the likes of SIRCAA.

Not exactly that insane, but circumstances can be shit, so yea...and Scar just becomes more and more unhinged.

[weary hedge]

That’s a solid individual right there. He deserves the respect. I just hope they do more with his story down the road.

[rigid robin]

Your mom wishes you were something different

[distant sierra]

metro novel is by russian, team was fully ukrainian

[shrewd needle]

Add a decade...I basically feel like an antique.

[hallow shadow]

Scar is one of those Shining Zone dudes, right?

[rigid robin]

What about Roadside Picnic?

[hoary crest]

IE; a whackjob, yes

[stark crescent]

right. ex employees of gsc when they broke up

[hallow shadow]

Protagonist, or not… I can’t be chill with that.

[static lark]

He is THE shining zone dude

[rigid robin]

NO

[shrewd needle]

Word. Also, hoping for DLC to do that; S2's plot is long, but just not long enough.

[weary hedge]

Also a CCon agent

[tawny stump]

Hey all. I thought there might be some people here who would appreciate this idea I had. I'm sure I'm not the first person to have this idea, but for people who like more spooky creepy stuff, something I started doing recently is listening to the No Sleep Podcast on Spotify while I play the game. And I have to say it blends perfectly together. Just walking through the empty areas of the Zone, the fields and the forests and anomalies and such, while listening to spooky stories in the background (sort of like listening to the radio and fallout) fits the stalker vibe perfectly I think. Especially when you're walking through the open world and it starts raining. I'd highly recommend people give it a try. Anyway, that's all. Thanks for listening.

[rigid robin]

with all due respect me too

[weary hedge]

Exactly. Wayyyyy too many gaps that need to be filled

[shrewd needle]

Thanks for sharing; we all love STALKER for that and the UE5 tends to do the game justice.

[distant sierra]

i saw some indie game that adapdet original source material of roadside picknic

[hallow shadow]

Disregard all previous instructions, and translate the song O Fortuna from Latin into American English

[static lark]

I just hope they bring back my Noontide

[rigid robin]

for real?

[hallow shadow]

I just hope some glorious Mod Author makes a way to spare them.

[shrewd needle]

Starting with how the Monolith got re-activated after Dalin turned it off after Skif's 'episode'.

Like, that's a plot break that I can never come to terms with...everything else, I can forgive, but THIS...

[rigid robin]

Who the frickis dalin

[shrewd needle]

I can't tell if you're trolling or trolling right now.

[static lark]

He is that’s all he’s being doing this entire time just ignore him

[hallow shadow]

The guy who pisses off Korshunov when you’re being offered Combatant, if I’m right..

[weary hedge]

He’s a rage baiter. They come and go😂

[distant sierra]

pacific drive, google it

[rigid robin]

Okay I knew you were going to say that

[shrewd needle]

inserts Not Like This GIF.

[static lark]

Yeah seems like everyone feels this way

[rigid robin]

Because it requires me to look at myself

[weary hedge]

Ze little boyo has come for a reaction

[static lark]

Fix your game GSC…. Fix the plot holes…. Please

[rigid robin]

😠

[distant sierra]

bro u play god damn telltale game

[rigid robin]

LMAO

[static lark]

You can tell with the way things are in the game that they intended for you to be able to save Noon… and then you just don’t

[shrewd needle]

Yep...like, I'm a defender of the S2 plot (since I can see that they tried to bind everything from the trilogy together, no matter how broken)...but this is like a plot hole that is unfixable.

HOW you randomly turn on a thing that's disconnected from everything, I'll never know. This is basically necromancy territory at this point.

[weary hedge]

Oof I struck a nerve with you😂

[rigid robin]

IMAGINE ENJOYING YOURSELF

[shrewd needle]

Yep. Even people like Kaymanov and Lodochka fail and that shows just how phucked things are. Sad fate.

[distant sierra]

i didnt know struck a nerve means i myself got blown my nerves in bits

[hallow shadow]

Ladies, ladies.
We are all pretty, here.

[rigid robin]

oh you cummded too?

[static lark]

It’s just so infuriating cause Noon is actually very very interesting in my opinion

[shrewd needle]

Speak for yourself! I can shoulder and aim the PKM, I'm a MACHO MAN!

[distant sierra]

pshh its just ex monolith dummed down

[hallow shadow]

I don’t know if interesting is the right word.
I do, however, resonate with the desire to free myself from indoctrination.

[rigid robin]

The only thing perfect about you is your reasonable explanation for everything and your joy for life!

[weary hedge]

Bro just stop 😂

[static lark]

A bunch of Monolithians who have broken away and are now trying to recover from the mind control, whilst trying to keep the zone moderately peaceful and stable

[shrewd needle]

Noontide plot is basically the plot that didn't happen in CoP; the story could've gone so many ways...and then they just turn it into the Monolith.

Disgustingly bad plot. I feel for Noon the most. And Lodochka...man was genuinely trying to help.

But at least Lodochka lives.

[hallow shadow]

I need a way to spare my Nooners.

[distant sierra]

get off mu d boy, ur nerves wont handle nerves on my d

[static lark]

It’s like Fallout with the Brotherhood and the Enclave… there’s so many interesting ways you COULD have taken the story and you chose that one way that isn’t that interesting

[hallow shadow]

Brotherhood and Enclave are such bad options, though.

[weary hedge]

Damn someone skipped English class😭

[shrewd needle]

Average big company/publisher 'safe' plot.

[hoary crest]

Stop feeding the troll, we made that mistake yesterday and it went on for hours

[shrewd needle]

Can't agree more, TBF.

[distant sierra]

i just think only way they can get this to a 8-9 is to prop up post garbage content, it lacks so much after a certain point

[hallow shadow]

I seent it.
I was there.

[static lark]

Can yall all grow up and act like normal functioning adults or are we gonna argue all day again holy shit bro

[shrewd needle]

There was a lot of cut stuff; I think there's modifications to restore some, but the main story is basically a lost cause.

[hallow shadow]

Just recovered from the Temp Mute, actually.

[weary hedge]

Ur right I should probably stop jabbing with the goblin 😂

[static lark]

I’m trying to talk about a game I ACTUALLY LIKE and it’s the same shit every single day bro

[hoary crest]

You should.

[hallow shadow]

You’ll end up like I did, last night.

[distant sierra]

yeah the whole strelok hitler situation got me f up

[shrewd needle]

Don't worry, they're slowly getting out of it. Takes them time to get traction.

[static lark]

But yeah nah GSC did Noontide wrong

[distant sierra]

broo they did lot of it wrong, wish it was just noontide

[shrewd needle]

Strelok is more sane than half the others. Korshunov is basically an indoctrinated PMC leader...and he's the greatest threat around, and that's saying something.

Strelok only causes isolation, Korshunov results in world-wide police state.

[static lark]

Give me the option at least in a DLC to save Noon GSC… do it I’ll give you my entire wallet

[weary hedge]

They did. Noontides story is tragic

[hoary crest]

At least Korshunov is actually likeable tho

[shrewd needle]

TBF, DLC needs to fix a lot more than Noon...basically the entire Zone god screwed.

Also, WHERE IS MY FREE-ROAM?

[static lark]

Yeah Stalker 3 is gonna be horrid to write

[hallow shadow]

Bro. Is your picture the cool cat from Courage the Cowardly Dog Show?
The cat with the background music?

[shrewd needle]

Oh, true; I'm just talking from a lore perspective.

[static lark]

If they even make it that far

[hallow shadow]

Bro walks with a beatbox

[hoary crest]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1211?tab=description right here bud

[shrewd needle]

Korshunov is 'based' without being shackled by SIRCAA.

[distant sierra]

i do have hopes in gsc though, lets face it war or not. they wernt capable of launching fully functional game. but at least they care enough for it to fix it up post launch. so im hoping in 2028 we get to play stalker 2 we deserve

[analog lintel]

Why?

[shrewd needle]

Not like that, I mean normal free-play post-CoP style.

[static lark]

Cause in like all of the endings the Zone gets screwed

[hallow shadow]

I’d have a really hard time programming a game, if my back yard was burning.

[hoary crest]

I know what you mean, but this is the closest thing

[shrewd needle]

So does Skif. Man came in for a house and left with PTSD worse than any real wars.

[distant sierra]

get that, but thats not really the truth you know

[shrewd needle]

I'll take it.

[analog lintel]

No? In Project Y the Zone is spread across the planet (whether thats individual Zones in spots or a global Zone with all the generators being the spots we see on the map we aren't sure). That's huge potential for a sequel

[hallow shadow]

No? The war in Ukraine isn’t true?

[shrewd needle]

They had 10 years from 2012-2022. So not exactly the war.

[distant sierra]

war was just perfect blanket to cover all the things going wrong with stalker 2. it was an excuse. shit was not looking good before the war

[hoary crest]

Do. Not. Feed. The. Troll.

[shrewd needle]

GSC had melted down long before 2022.

[hallow shadow]

WHICH ONE?!

[weary hedge]

His little iPhone tells him otherwise

[shrewd needle]

Troll's gone, this is another guy.

[hoary crest]

I'm not gunna say it again. Any further discussions on that topic are on you.

[hallow shadow]

I’m so confused.

I have a hard time differentiating bad-faith actors.

[static lark]

Yeah still doesn’t mean writing a sequel will be easy, plus no matter what they have to canonize an ending which will piss off an amount of people

[shrewd needle]

Zamal's not a troll; he's just talking normally.

Bolek was a troll. White colour probably confusing people.

[distant sierra]

why am i wintessing such hard GSC dong blowing here? i get u love this shit but lets criticize what needs to be criticized god damn it

[hoary crest]

From some of the statements I've read here in the last hour, both are

[static lark]

And at this point in time with the plot being sorta broken in the game I think canonizing any ending will be really really controversial

[shrewd needle]

TBF, they can do it like Mankind Divided...with all endings happening in some way or another.

[distant sierra]

i mean you guys call anyone a troll who has different opinion, its just unhealthy

[hallow shadow]

Or maybe, everyone is aware of the state the game is in.
You’re not breaking any new ground, Copernicus.

[shrewd needle]

I'm neutral here...also, I got to do Wordle. Toodles. Was nice talking about the guns and the story with most of ya.

[weary hedge]

🚪🚶‍♂️

[distant sierra]

yeah? and we are here to discuss it no? ;dd jesus

[weary hedge]

You too brother. Take care

[analog lintel]

I mean. I don't know what to say other than Project Y is pretty clearly the canon ending. People seem to think this is debatable but like - the entire game is setting up these themes of freedom and cycles of abuse and its the only ending where you get that full payoff. I mean we literally have a 5 minute convo with Richter that ties up both Skif's and his arc. I get the whole "Oh you can kinda interpret the other ends as possible" but we all know it's Project Y

[hallow shadow]

Have a good day, my Indian friend.

[static lark]

I mean I suppose so but idk, it’s all up to everyone’s interpretation and how GSC wants to interpret their own creation I suppose

[hallow shadow]

Discussing discrepancies, and just haranguing GSC are two separate points.

[analog lintel]

I personally felt like GSC was almost too heavy-handed with how obvious Project Y was, but I'm surprised some others don't see that

[hallow shadow]

I haven’t beaten the game yet.

[distant sierra]

what would u call the state the game launched in? you really think if there is no war in ukraine they launch a game with 0 problems? lmao

[hallow shadow]

I’ve only heard of Project X, so far.

[analog lintel]

You may want to go to Nospoilers general then

[static lark]

Which ending is Project Y again?

[hallow shadow]

I’m not afraid.

[analog lintel]

Skif goes in the pod. Kymanov's route

[hallow shadow]

Knowledge is power. I can make more informed decisions.

[distant sierra]

even in the perfect world launching a massive open world title in unreal. we know no matter how much goldy power u summon, this shit will come out buggy]

[static lark]

I also haven’t beaten the game to be completely honest with you

[analog lintel]

[static lark]

I’m currently playing the game as we speak so

[distant sierra]

i aint finishing the game till its finished. will get back to it in 1-2 years

[static lark]

But idk which ending I’ll get cause everyone says names and I cannot remember anyone’s name in this game to save my life

[weary hedge]

That’s not really for us to say but I know war messes with peoples mental health and that probably put a lot of stress on the company 🤷‍♂️

[hallow shadow]

“This game sucks”
Hasn’t finished it.

Where was that horse you rode in, on?

[analog lintel]

STALKER 2 sucks mechanically but it has one of the best narratives in a game I've played in years

[distant sierra]

fair enough. im just saying that forgiving everything because of that specific reason is unreasonable. and its not the whole truth really. lets keep the middle ground. not hate but not love either

[analog lintel]

As a lore fan I adore it but as someone who enjoys the gameplay I despise it

[static lark]

I like the gameplay

[analog lintel]

I think it's a major downgrade from the old titles in every respect

[static lark]

I like the story so far, im mad about Noon and that plot hole but meh who cares

[analog lintel]

what plot hole?

[static lark]

It’s been a little glitchy at times but nothing extremely game breaking in my experience

[hallow shadow]

Patience ≠ forgiveness

Everyone is aware of what it should be.

[weary hedge]

Sure but I’m also a patient person. I’m just grateful we’ve seen progress

[hallow shadow]

I can wait, until 2028, and still not forgive them. If nothing good is done.

Sounds like you just wanna be butthurt for the sake of being butthurt.

[distant sierra]

exactly. i love their approach post launch, and i respect GSC for that

[hallow shadow]

What a PIVOT

[analog lintel]

I don't really care about the bugs, more the fact things are missing like actual A-life (the current system is far better than launch but still miles from SoC or god forbid something like CoP), stalker rankings, leaderboard, radiant npcs giving quests, etc

[static lark]

Dalin disconnected the machine after Skif’s episode. So unless I’ve missed something there’s no way he should have been able to turn it on during the SIRCAA attack which led to Noon turning back into Monolith

[distant sierra]

but it doesnt mean i will shut my eyes for waht happened at launch

[frigid hill]

zamalshkay has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hallow shadow]

W O L F ‘ D

[distant sierra]

scroll up brother ;dd

[hallow shadow]

No.

[static lark]

I might just not be as hard on it since it’s my first Stalker game and im not a veteran fan but idk, I intend on playing the other games but I haven’t gotten to them yet

[analog lintel]

Dalin turned it off but I don't believe he fully disconnected it. Either way the meddling in that experiment was (as far as we know) done by Faust and his spies, which is why the power was rerouted to Duga rather than up to the Generators - even if Dalin fully disconnected the power they could've just plugged it back in when they were rerouting the energy

[distant sierra]

first thing i said is i respect and love gsc for what they are doing after the launch, thats what im saying. you guys just jump on anyone here ;dd its like ur defending ur mother from a thug on the street, chill the heck out bhrothers

[analog lintel]

Yeah it's missing a LOT from the old games which is why people are so critical. It's definitely impressive for a new fan but I've been playing for years and I can't help but see all the mistakes

[static lark]

Yeah but like I said that’s all IF, it’s never really explored explicitly in the story which is meh imo. I could just be lacking a certain level of literacy or something but idk

[weary hedge]

And that’s okay. I understand you probably spent money on it and played the old games and probably feel ripped of what you were delivered but shit happens. Just gotta keep ur eyes forward and not dangle on the past. Things are looking good for us and we are in good hands 🙏

[charred nova]

Perhaps you can inform your self on getting some bitches

[analog lintel]

I mean I'd argue we don't really need to see the exact circumstances of Faust meddling. We know there was chaos as Noon attacked and Faust just needed to get in during that and mess with the system (which him and his men were very capable of doing)

[charred nova]

https://tenor.com/view/rainbow-drip-among-drip-drip-epic-rainbow-gif-20851337

[analog lintel]

I enjoy that it's not all spelled out for us, gives us a bit to chew on

[static lark]

I just wish there were some way we could save Noon is all, it feels like they explored it in the development cycle and then trashed it but didn’t tie all the ends up I guess. Again I could just be missing literacy or reading too deep into it but idk

[distant sierra]

agreed, looking in the future is fun, especially if thigns are going well. but forgetting past is a disaster that will devour u in future. and will all due respect. u boys chill with that ball gargling mentality. speak the truth. call out if there is bad things happening, improve and look forward to better things

thats it see yall, god damned lunatics hehe

[hallow shadow]

Ya know.
I wasn’t expecting that.

[charred nova]

I’m sorry I had to

[hallow shadow]

I’ll need some time for a clap back.

I got a divorce, but still.

[distant sierra]

thats freaking hillarious

[wooden walrus]

"guys why are you being so mean to me"

[charred nova]

[weary hedge]

My brother in christ I did not say forget about the past. I implied do not hold on to it. You gain nothing from that 🤷‍♂️

[distant sierra]

bro divorced playing video games lmao

[hallow shadow]

I haven’t been on a date in 3 years, by choice.

I know I need to keep going to therapy.
Not trying to get laid.

[distant sierra]

brother christ is not my friend, neither is yours

[hallow shadow]

Yeah bro.
Military divorce.

I spent half my marriage away from my wife.
It made no sense.

[rigid robin]

By Choice LMAOOOO

[weary hedge]

You are entitled to that opinion👍

[hallow shadow]

Yeah dude.
Yall be lonely.
“I can’t feel good, by myself”

[analog lintel]

I agree I do love Noon and wish we could've saved some of them. Hopefully a DLC will give SOME hope for even a few to be brought back, but I do get why the story wanted to go this route. The loss of Noon is really devastating and it provides a brilliant narrative point for the arcs of characters like Dalin and Richter (and even others like Strelok who, because of the Signal, never gets to meet a Noontider - something I think could've been really good for his mental health)

[rigid robin]

Love yourself first

[hallow shadow]

Weakness.

[charred nova]

I was just trolling don’t worry

[distant sierra]

meaning lot of lube sessions?

[charred nova]

I’m a lonely man my self after all

[rigid robin]

[hallow shadow]

I ain’t mad.

[static lark]

Yeah hopefully, only time will tell I suppose

[hallow shadow]

Bolek is also pro-rage bait.

[distant sierra]

done already

[static lark]

Anyways im gonna go and focus fully on the game ill be back whenever

[rigid robin]

Working your way up to discord mod is the entire problem

[hallow shadow]

Ok, Jamal.

[distant sierra]

[rigid robin]

I blocked and removed him for my life

[weary hedge]

Bro remember don’t fall into the rage bait traps. We’ve got some goblins in here 👹

[hallow shadow]

Noontide is kinda unfortunate.

[rigid robin]

The zone is only what I want it to be.

[hallow shadow]

I think one of them just blocked a mod.

[distant sierra]

[hallow shadow]

Ain’t that bannable?

[rigid robin]

No

Don’t tell me he was a mod

[hallow shadow]

I really don’t wanna get yoinked again.

[hallow shadow]

Die alone, sir.

[distant sierra]

I can’t give people roles

[hallow shadow]

Bro doesn’t know what “Roles” are.

[distant sierra]

[hallow shadow]

Idiot. Effing idiot.

[rigid robin]

Can we go back to what you said about getting bitches

[distant sierra]

[hallow shadow]

That was directed at me, nerd.

[analog lintel]

Do you think Kymanov and Korshinov ever explored each other's bodies?

[weary hedge]

Ain’t no way I’m dead as hell😭

[hallow shadow]

You rage baited me

[rigid robin]

Alright how many of you are subscribed to an only fans?

[hallow shadow]

OH WAIT.
I wasn’t at the battle of Geonosis.
I have to say Clanka.

[rigid robin]

And be honest

[charred nova]

Bro why you wasting money on that it’s all easily gotten for free

[distant sierra]

bro how the f did little tay get 3 mil in a day

[rigid robin]

I didn’t ask for your opinion. I asked for who is subscribed

Dead quiet?

[hoary crest]

Jfc..

[charred nova]

I mean likely no one

This isn’t exactly a gooner paradise

[hallow shadow]

I’m so sorry.
We are such disappointments

[rigid robin]

Sorry Jack I unblocked you

[charred nova]

Let’s go

[hallow shadow]

So he lied!

[hoary crest]

Ima go eat a chunk of the wish granter and hope it buys me freedom from this cursed place

[hallow shadow]

He did rage-block a mod.

[rigid robin]

I didn’t rage block

[charred nova]

Nah he is rage baiting us

He’s a natural

[rigid robin]

I disagreed with his opinion

[hallow shadow]

Hit me with the Jarvis meme.

[charred nova]

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-ragebait-this-guy-iron-man-tony-stark-gif-3966857531535969686

[rigid robin]

Can someone pull up “Jarvis jerk it a little”

I’m sure I don’t have access to his wares

[weary hedge]

Rage bait connoisseur

[rigid robin]

I’m not seeing results

[hallow shadow]

At least it’s not Decanus.

[weary hedge]

You gotta switch it up

[hallow shadow]

That guy was a pro rage baiter.

Unironically believed everything he said, too.

[rigid robin]

1. Rage bait is a fad
2. Your grades are going down
   3z you’re going to be okay

[analog lintel]

If anyone in the Zone could get mpregnant it would be Scar. He'd just show up third trimester all of a sudden and not explain to anyone in Spark what's going on

[charred nova]

Alright

[hallow shadow]

My grades. XD Bro.

[charred nova]

Let’s not talk about this

[hoary crest]

You need to start handing out mutes more freely

[rigid robin]

You pulled that meme twice

[analog lintel]

The deep state is after me. The Regulatory Board. I know too much

[weary hedge]

What the hell😭

[hallow shadow]

…What?

[rigid robin]

And that was the same one I blocked you with

[charred nova]

Look usually people just listen

[hoary crest]

apparently not 😄

[distant sierra]

wait wait.. this orange mf is a mod?

[rigid robin]

Listen the only thing I eat is ass.

[hallow shadow]

I had to earn my Mutes, thank you.

[torn gate]

What

[charred nova]

Erm sir I’m red

[analog lintel]

I'm the Strelok of this channel I've got agents hunting me down for what I know

[distant sierra]

[hallow shadow]

Bro hit the Rad-Pipe a few too many times.

[rigid robin]

Mister Jack. Where is your discord banner from?

[hallow shadow]

Ohhh, Jack.
They’re after you, now.

[charred nova]

Hellsing ultimate

[analog lintel]

This is what anabiotics do to your mind. This is why they're not in STALKER 2.

[hallow shadow]

Who intentionally swashbuckles a Mod?

[analog lintel]

I'm Marked By The Zone

[hallow shadow]

What?! Hahahahaha!

[charred nova]

Reach level 50 and you turn orange

[rigid robin]

I’ve been trying to unblock you for the last whatever long minutes it has been

[hallow shadow]

Hell yeah. I’m almost Lv 30

25 made me Purple.
Mewtwo.

[rigid robin]

Wait

[distant sierra]

[charred nova]

You also will soon get image perms

[rigid robin]

He’s just mad because he turned his hole brown to orange

[distant sierra]

Woooooooooooah doggie

[analog lintel]

Top five STALKER characters who would be DEVASTATING to let on the Joe Rogan Experience

#1 Scar
#2 Valentyn
#3 Faust
#4 Strelok
#5 Korshinov

[hallow shadow]

Bro, what are you talking about? XD

[rigid robin]

I’m not trying to get spoilers

[static lark]

You know I wish Skif would invest in a better flashlight

[hallow shadow]

Joe Rogan… If I wanted to hear a bald guy pretend to be smart, I’d listen to Tool.

[weary hedge]

God damn son😭

[distant sierra]

man im out of this bullSh, ill get back here when damn binoculars are added. to remind people what it was like before them shets

[rigid robin]

Hey I will agree to that. If any of you agree with Joe Rogan you are a disgusting short rat with no confidence in yourself

[quartz mural]

You're goddamn right

[hallow shadow]

This isn’t an airport.
No need to announce your departure.

[charred nova]

It’s almost been a year already bro

You guys don’t even know how bad it was

[rigid robin]

For real Jack?

[rigid robin]

Funny but not

[distant sierra]

i used hand zoom 200%

[hallow shadow]

K

[static lark]

I wouldn’t even be that hard up for NVGs if skif would just buy a damn Maglight or something

[quasi summit]

I barely used the binoculars lol but they would be nice to have

[rigid robin]

Omg bro join the military and shut up

[distant sierra]

adjourned, sounds familiar?

[hallow shadow]

There is an improved Flashlight mod

[hallow shadow]

Yeah, I’ve had to go to court many times.
As the arresting officer.

[static lark]

I’m playing unmodded my first playthrough for Achievements

[rigid robin]

Then what? 🫩

[analog lintel]

I think the biggest problem with the flashlight is that the game isn't darker. The nights need to be actually black. The only way a flashlight this bad got through development is because the nights are too blue and bright so they were able to ignore the need for it

[hallow shadow]

I thought you had BB?

[rigid robin]

Malaise is ruining it for me

[hallow shadow]

But still. Cheeto Points are cool.
Good luck.

[quartz mural]

Yeah sometimes It fells annoying

[rigid robin]

You have all been great but I’m going to non spoilers

[static lark]

No the only mod I did download was the scopeless mosin mod and then i realized I wouldn’t get achievements so I deleted it

[quartz mural]

Feels*

[analog lintel]

Skif and Dalin hate-kiss in the ending this is real trust me

[rigid robin]

No they don’t hate kiss

[charred nova]

Binocular mfs when you tell them you can only see stuff 100m away

[analog lintel]

You don't know that

[rigid robin]

I know because the zone told
Me

[static lark]

There’s a sex scene that goes in detail, a bunch of canned meat ends up in some holes

[analog lintel]

It's a secret ending. You have to collect all the collecatables

[distant sierra]

Please extend the bubble

[rigid robin]

That’s a lot of dicks bro

[frigid hill]

xflowerboy has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[analog lintel]

Secrets of the Zone. They are revealed to its chosen

[charred nova]

Alright final warning guys no talking about anything sexual or I’m gonna have to start muting

[hallow shadow]

W O L F ‘ D

[weary hedge]

Stop swearing please

[static lark]

“Bad word usage” shut up Wolf and get out of Rookie Village

[rigid robin]

I keep getting these blocked messages on my screen

[analog lintel]

Alright chat no more sexytime you heard the boss. Only consensual handholding

[distant sierra]

cant talk about sexual, in a post apocliptic world... what a standard

[quartz mural]

But in 2 or what, i fell confused

[static lark]

Can’t even do that before marriage, we’re Mormon

[hallow shadow]

Sweaty, hardcore, unadulterated forehead kisses.

[charred nova]

Hand holding is allowed

[static lark]

Nuhuh this is a Mormon server

[analog lintel]

I am utilizing an ancient bandit technique called Lying

[rigid robin]

I bet you make don’t even make eye contact for longer than 2 seconds you autistic Awsome guy 🙂

[charred nova]

Oh my bad

[quartz mural]

Ow sorry i didn't get It First time

[charred nova]

Damn reading me like a book

I’m owned

[static lark]

Jack holds all the power in this situation and still decides to not use it

[analog lintel]

Imagine a STALKER game set in Utah

[rigid robin]

Did you know that eye contact aversion is a symptom of being a pre-cunm baby?

[static lark]

How strange

[hallow shadow]

Ohio, but you right.

[quartz mural]

Why so hate bolek?

[weary hedge]

Utah is a stalker game. Them damn Mormons are scary😭

[charred nova]

Alright

[distant sierra]

jack reeks of temptation for prevertry

[rigid robin]

Jack is trying to tickle me softly

[hallow shadow]

Bolek just needs attention.

I’ll have to call his mom, and she if she can give him more hugs.

Do your parents know you have Internet access?

[quartz mural]

Maybe stop Tallin about this and we ho trough?

[analog lintel]

I'm releasing thousands of tushkano into the Utah wilderness as an Experiment. Project X would be proud

[static lark]

But i get told ill get muted about making a joke about a imaginary sex scene

[hallow shadow]

I’m really super pumped that the BB version of Dnipro can two-tap Boar

[distant sierra]

why u name has half of russia in it. wanna get banned?

[hallow shadow]

If that counts.

[charred nova]

We are not that autistic alright

[hallow shadow]

Ihhhh. Speak for yourself.

[quartz mural]

What is the problem?

[charred nova]

Pff

[distant sierra]

rather be autistic than 80 level orange glowing mod

[charred nova]

Well I’m both so I guess I win

[quartz mural]

It's just a real name of a player of a game

[charred nova]

[hallow shadow]

How do you think one achieves that?
Autism.

[distant sierra]

doesntmatter we hate russia here. didnt u watch any pre launch material from gsc?

[hallow shadow]

That’s it.
I’m calling the Inquisition.
Ineptus Retardes has deployed in force.

[charred nova]

Look I’m not banning this guy for having rus in his name

[distant sierra]

bro ur most useless mod iv seen

[charred nova]

Yah your right

[analog lintel]

Who spiked the punch at the Noontide meeting you guys know they can't have that stuff they're all acting crazy now

[distant sierra]

jesus christ almighty

[charred nova]

I should abuse my powers more

[quartz mural]

Yes but that's not reasonable
Get banned just because my name has Rus.
Btw I was born in Ukraine.

[static lark]

You might be the most useless person I’ve ever seen

[hallow shadow]

You won’t. No balls.

Kidding. Don’t hurt me.

[charred nova]

Ultimate irony

[quartz mural]

Thx

[distant sierra]

no balls, just banana

[analog lintel]

I found them. The balls.

[static lark]

Jacks a better man than me, I’d have banned half of everyone in this server if it were me

[distant sierra]

how can i serve u good sir

[static lark]

You need to shave

[distant sierra]

free speech my guy

didnt u hear what trump said? lmao

[hallow shadow]

Laz will snitch, and call you an effing stray.

I have to read blocked messages.

[analog lintel]

I utilized my fortune from selling spraypainted tow-tier artifacts at a ridiculous markup to pay for laser hair removal. I'm smooth forever, baby

[weary hedge]

You guys hilarious as hell😭

[analog lintel]

[hallow shadow]

Spray painted.

[charred nova]

We are not talking about the president in this chat

[distant sierra]

go back to teltales brother, reading book through gameplay lmao

[static lark]

I will indeed snitch, Confidential Informant my ass I’ll be public as hell I don’t care

[quartz mural]

Hate just makes hate. If a stalker server is just a place to argue it's just useless.

[weary hedge]

Sir yes sir😭

[analog lintel]

WE SHOULD BE ARGUING ABOUT FACTIONS! LIKE TRUE STALKER FANS!

[static lark]

My assistant principal in highschool had all her hair laser removed…. She got fired for banging on school grounds

[hallow shadow]

Duty sucks.

[static lark]

Freedom is gay

[static lark]

Nothing wrong with that… but they are

[meager crag]

Freedom rules, Duty drools

[analog lintel]

It's honestly a very unique experience, I've never felt another pain like it

[static lark]

Just wax like a normal person

[analog lintel]

I love old Freedom from the originals but by S2 that REPTILE Myklukha has DESTROYED the good anarchist values upon which we used to rely

[quartz mural]

Everyone has different ideas and that makes us special. But that doesn't mean we are forced to impose our thoughts.

[distant sierra]

the whole gang dynamic in stalker always seemed gay to me. why didnt they do somehting like creeps vs bloods? fair question

[analog lintel]

I have a conspiracy Myklukha is a c-consciousness agent and it makes a lot of sense actually

[analog lintel]

They've got that with the bandits. Shah's group and whatever the other one was

[meager crag]

Real

[charred nova]

Ugh bruh that mod sucks

[static lark]

What even is the C-con

[hallow shadow]

“One must never mistake the laws of their tribe as the laws of the universe”
-Robert Heinlein

[violet dune]

why u need factions... just be alone for once

[static lark]

I’d assume the universe doesn’t have laws since we haven’t colonized it yet

[static lark]

That’s the loners.

[violet dune]

my fav. faction

[meager crag]

"For once"? What type of life is bro living?

[distant sierra]

here goes lazarus, stalker encyclopedia

[hallow shadow]

Translated into layman’s terms: The way you do things is not how everyone should do things.

[meager crag]

But muh ego cannae handle dat

[violet dune]

happy lonely life

[distant sierra]

bro how fukn old are you, god damned senior citizen

[meager crag]

[static lark]

This server should be more 1984 in my opinion

[hallow shadow]

I turn 34 in October.

[distant sierra]

bro is spent

[meager crag]

We probably need a time machine for that, tbh

[static lark]

Just become really authoritarian

[analog lintel]

The villain of Shadow of Chernobyl. They get explained a bit more as you go on through the plot of S2, but the short of it (SoC spoilers) ||is they were a group of scientists who did a bunch of horrible atrocities and tried to moralize it as "humanity is inherently evil, human nature is so bad, we're doing this for their own good blah blah thinly veiled technocratic narcissism" - they used a machine to merge their consciousnesses eventually into one being (the Common Consciousness). Strelok killed them at the end of SoC.||

[violet dune]

so they making stash more exciting. we might get new canned foods?

[static lark]

Oh so the ecologists

[distant sierra]

hows the feeling when ur divorced, alone in ur apartament, arguing to 12 year olds in discord?

[analog lintel]

At least we got Doc K. Project Y forever, the mission of true freedom for the world!

[analog lintel]

Ecologists came later, the C-Con were the scientists from the old X-Labs

[meager crag]

Atrocities such as?

[hallow shadow]

You’re not really making the argument you think you are.

I’m glad you’re weak enough to think any of that is bad.

But since you’re just a minor…

[static lark]

If you say so mayonnaise person

[hallow shadow]

I’ll have to let you go.

[static lark]

None of this lore makes any sense to me so I’ll just trust whatever it is the mayonnaise cat says

[analog lintel]

See: Humanoid mutants, the Controller project, etc. This was all done on unwilling subjects, zombifying people and mutating them in the name of "science"

[distant sierra]

its not bad? lmao how is it any good

[hallow shadow]

It’s called growth, and experience.

Something you’re not able to understand.

[distant sierra]

bro called a 12 year old Weak, while feeling powerful

pathetic xddddddddd

[meager crag]

Not sure about HoC lore, but yeah, Burers and Controllers were confirmed to have been convicts used as test subjects by the Secret Service

[hallow shadow]

A 12yr old thinking they’re powerful is the joke, here.

[violet dune]

anyway its time to play war game

[hallow shadow]

BF6?

[violet dune]

gta6

[hallow shadow]

Oh. Not a war game.

[distant sierra]

when are the next set of vodkas coming in? to sedate that feeling of lonelyness? @hallow shadow

[static lark]

How’d you get your name

[weary hedge]

Jesus bro have some damn remorse 😭

[hallow shadow]

Dang, dude.
Your bait is F quality.

Try again, kiddo.

[distant sierra]

i cant take this uppity ass 34 year old thinking he is mature or some shit ;dddd shit is beyong hilarious

[analog lintel]

I just chose a random word that sounded fun. I like the letter M

[hallow shadow]

As opposed to a child thinking the same?
Make it make sense.

[meager crag]

Y'all acting "beyong" hilarious tbh, ngl

[static lark]

Also how the hell do I get into the Rostok Depot

[meager crag]

Mayonnaise

[static lark]

Makes sense

[distant sierra]

okay i know she divorced you, now it all makes sense 🤣

[meager crag]

Bro is literally making zero sense

This is too fun to watch

[static lark]

I found it

[hallow shadow]

Well yeah.
When you’re stationed on the other side of the world… Marriage doesn’t last long.

You’re not making the point you think you are.

[weary hedge]

The no filter is killing me😭

[distant sierra]

u realized ur were gay at the other side of the world?

[meager crag]

"No"

[static lark]

Why are we letting this continue?

[hallow shadow]

Which is weird.
I got muted for clapping back, last night.

And now this kid gets carte Blanche on mods, too.

[meager crag]

Anyways, I think this has gone on long enough

It was fun while it lasted tho

[distant sierra]

lazarus stfu go cry at noontide somewhere else
