[charred nova]

i mean ill give you that it doesn't really look cool for everyone

[dry siren]

says you

[hallow shadow]

Yup.

[dry siren]

it's the best

[charred nova]

this though

no contest

[shrewd needle]

Shit-box. Yes, cope.

[dry siren]

nah

"why poop when you can shit?"

[charred nova]

i have to bite my tongue so hard

[weary hedge]

Yeah I only use mine if I’m going out of town. But I get the hype

[dry siren]

can i bite it for you

[charred nova]

how

[shrewd needle]

We got truly impressive public transport, so you honestly don't even need a car here.

Too bad people still keep buying them and piling up the traffic. They even built a phucking coastal road rather than get rid of cars.

[shrewd needle]

Dude...I live in a country where 50-70% of cars are Japanese shit-boxes.

A Nissan is really just crap to me.

[stuck seal]

Get a giant magnet and suck the cars out of the road

[charred nova]

thats not a Nissan

[dry siren]

Mazda

[rapid topaz]

Will nvgs be part of the paid dlc ?

[shrewd needle]

That front-end looks like a 240...like...it literally does.

[stuck seal]

You’re correct

[charred nova]

it doesn't.....

[dry siren]

it's a Mazda Miata

[weary hedge]

In India? I’ve seen. I like to watch foreigners vlog there and get to know the people. You guys have CRAZY traffic

[shrewd needle]

It looks like a 240 SX!

[charred nova]

not the same

[shrewd needle]

I mean the stock 240 SX...

[dry siren]

still, Fourth Generation 1984 Ford LTD

[charred nova]

that is stock

[weary hedge]

I seen this one dude crowded on top of a train with others. It was nuts😭

[hallow shadow]

The lights on a 240 are more… Angular?

[shrewd needle]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b3/Red_240SX_II.jpg

This one...literally the same-looking front.

[dry siren]

im tuckered out i gotta rest

[charred nova]

not even close but sure

[dry siren]

night little people and army men in my fone

[charred nova]

my neighbor has a broken one

[shrewd needle]

Well, either ways...it's just a Mazda.

[charred nova]

at least i assume its broken

[weary hedge]

Goodnight my little ninconpoop

[charred nova]

just a mazda.........

HAHAHAHAHA

[hallow shadow]

JJAHAHAHA

[dry siren]

i changed my mind

[shrewd needle]

DUDE! Give me something European for a change. I see Japan every day.

[hallow shadow]

WJERE DID IT GO?!

[charred nova]

europe should try making better cars

https://tenor.com/view/1984-george-orwell-george-orwell-1984-1984-chips-1984-ruffles-gif-7144052804264359069

[dry siren]

shhh shhhhh

[shrewd needle]

True, But I see so much Japan every day, it's sickening. Suzuki, especially.

[hallow shadow]

I still want an Opel GT

[charred nova]

you've likely never even seen that car lmao

[shrewd needle]

Which one?

[dry siren]

STOP FLIPPING ME OFF YOU LITTLE SKIDMARK

[charred nova]

fc rx7

i see them like once a year

[hallow shadow]

Suzukis are all over the place, on his side of the world.

[shrewd needle]

Yea, Mazda doesn't exist in India except as a commercial thing (making trucks).

[weary hedge]

Die

[dry siren]

live 😇

[charred nova]

mazda hasn't made trucks in like 20 years

[shrewd needle]

Ladies! Get a room!

[hallow shadow]

It’s all Mitsu’s and Suzukis.

[shrewd needle]

Go look up SwarajMazda, Mr. RX-7.

[weary hedge]

Ight fine

[charred nova]

ive literally never seen this car before in my entire life

[hallow shadow]

Punjabi MC?

[dry siren]

dont die, it kills you

[shrewd needle]

Same as the RX-7 for me. So yea...

Again, Mazda trucks are more interesting than cars. 'Cause Japanese shit-box. IDC.

[weary hedge]

Not if you get my reboot card

[shrewd needle]

No.

[dry siren]

intergalactic planetary planetary intergalactic

[charred nova]

bro hates em cus they don't break all the time

[weary hedge]

It was a Fortnite reference…best game ever created. I want them to play the lobby music at my funeral

[charred nova]

i love my euro cars

[shrewd needle]

BAHAHAH! Wankel reliability...'don't break all the time'.

[dry siren]

i have nevrr playrd fortnate

[charred nova]

that break constantly and require several 1000 dollars of dixing

[charred nova]

they break once every 100k miles

[dry siren]

i am clueless when it comes to modern gaming

[shrewd needle]

That's low.

[charred nova]

same way every time

[weary hedge]

Uncultured swine

[charred nova]

its a performance car

[shrewd needle]

That's not an achievement, though.

[charred nova]

it comes with the territory

[shrewd needle]

Performance don't matter if your car ain't reliable.

[dry siren]

i have postal on my puter

the first one

[weary hedge]

Idk what that means

[shrewd needle]

Postal = game.

[charred nova]

cracking open worlds simpliest engine once every 5/10 years for like a weekend of work isn't really that bad

[shrewd needle]

How about cracking it open every 15 years?

'Cause that sounds INFINITELY better to me.

[charred nova]

if you buy a rotary you go in knowing this

or your retarded

one or the other

[weary hedge]

Ohhh which one there’s like 10

[shrewd needle]

Exactly why I'd never go rotary. Unless it's an auto-cannon.

[dry siren]

Postal 1997

[shrewd needle]

Ask him, he got it.

[charred nova]

not that you would regardless

[weary hedge]

W. That’s it?

[shrewd needle]

I'll take a V6, thanks.

[charred nova]

inline 6

or im out

[dry siren]

Postal 2 as well

[shrewd needle]

V.

[charred nova]

boring

[dry siren]

But I like Postal 1 more, cool art direction

[weary hedge]

Besides postal

[shrewd needle]

I ain't doin' the Supra. I'll take a V6 or V12. Take it or leave it.

[charred nova]

go get a ford barra

the australian 2jz

[dry siren]

Stalker CS, Half Life, Blue Shift, OPFOR, TF Classic, TF2, Portal, Metro Exodus, and HL2 and its episodes

[shrewd needle]

Pass.

[weary hedge]

Damn you’ve got taste bro

[charred nova]

unlike american fords they are really good

they were exclusive sold and made in Australia

[shrewd needle]

They got like...mostly I6 with 2 V8s.

[dry siren]

I have an Xbox 360 and a PS2

[charred nova]

well now they got nothing

cus ford shuttered that part of the company

[shrewd needle]

Shame. 😔

[weary hedge]

Noice. What’s ur favorite game on the 360?

[dry siren]

Either Crackdown or Mafia II.

[shrewd needle]

OK, give me a 2006 Pontiac GTO. And I'm sold.

[hallow shadow]

Ew

[charred nova]

in 2016 they killed off all domestic production in Australia

[charred nova]

talk about unreliable cars

lmfao

[shrewd needle]

YOU SHUT! Let me get my car!

[charred nova]

your one to talk

[shrewd needle]

I'll take it over an I6 or a Wanky.

[weary hedge]

Crackdowns an interesting choice but mafias dope

[charred nova]

its more unreliable than both combined

[hallow shadow]

You know what… If it’s the only car you’ll take, it’s a start.

[dry siren]

I have Fallout 3 and NV, as well as GTA IV and a bunch of other ones

[shrewd needle]

I'll still take it.

[hallow shadow]

Compromise achieved.

[dry siren]

Crackdown for nostalgia purposes, it brings me comfort

[charred nova]

then dont come talking shit about reliability

[shrewd needle]

Not the start of car love; I still want cars to die. But the Pontiac GTO is just beautiful.

[hallow shadow]

Oh. Nevermind.

[shrewd needle]

You said 100,000 miles. Most people's cars last a tad bit longer than that.

[weary hedge]

Hell yeah you’ve got some peak games

[dry siren]

thanks

[shrewd needle]

250 should be minimum.

[weary hedge]

You play any horror games?

[charred nova]

not a Pontiac

lmfao

[dry siren]

YEA YEA YEA YEA

[shrewd needle]

It's still a V8...and I'll learn to manage it.

[charred nova]

why you think pontiac is dead

[weary hedge]

Like what bro bro

[dry siren]

Silent Hill 2 is my favorite

[charred nova]

[hallow shadow]

Doom 3, kiddo.
Get you some Doom 3

[weary hedge]

Silent hill will always go hard

[shrewd needle]

I mean...GM being GM, NGL.

[dry siren]

idk if you could classify Postal 1 as scary

[weary hedge]

I loved the dark twist they took with this one

[shrewd needle]

Doom 3 is superior.

[charred nova]

no one was buying cus the company had insanely bad rep

[dry siren]

It's got some wicked ass load screens

[charred nova]

so they got shuttered

[hallow shadow]

Portal was… Stressful, for sure.

[weary hedge]

Not horror but dark asf😭

[hallow shadow]

I need that game to get an update, so bad.

[charred nova]

best car gm has ever made is the corvette

that thing works

[hallow shadow]

Back to the Zone.
I’ve got to get to Azimuth Station

[dry siren]

i like postal 1

[shrewd needle]

Remind me about the RX-8's reliability again?

[charred nova]

was a car no one wanted

[hallow shadow]

Have fun, folks!
Blessings of the Zone upon ye.

[weary hedge]

Me too

[charred nova]

people have hit like 175k miles on rx8

you just gotta take care of them

[shrewd needle]

Right, so regardless of company, problems can happen to anyone.

[weary hedge]

Lmk how the story goes

[charred nova]

mazda is still around

[shrewd needle]

Same for the Pontiac. Take care and it'll work.

[shrewd needle]

So is GM, TBF...but I get what you mean.

[charred nova]

except theres no parts so you can't

[shrewd needle]

I'll...manage.

[charred nova]

good luck paying 1000 bux for an original oem head gasket

[shrewd needle]

OK, screw you and give me a BRZ, then. Happy?

[dry siren]

uhhhhhhhhhhhh i also like GTA VCS on the PS2

[charred nova]

thats just a bmw

[shrewd needle]

That's the Supra. I said BRZ.

[dry siren]

it's always been my favorite

[weary hedge]

Vice city is arguably the best one. Mine personally is San Andreas

[dry siren]

i dont like vice city

[shrewd needle]

Can't swim in VC, though.

[dry siren]

vice city stories has swimming :)

and you start out as a soldier

Vic is definitely one of the best protagonists, along with Niko

[charred nova]

shitty wrx imo

they used the FA20

which i have

[dry siren]

also the soundtrack in VCS.. auuhh 🤤

[charred nova]

things a shitter

[weary hedge]

Rockstar always delivers bangers 😩

[shrewd needle]

Yea, well...I'm still not getting a Mazda.

[charred nova]

well actually im slightly wrong

fa is different from fb

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but SA had the gameplay and freedom no other game has had since.

[dry siren]

Manhunt.

[charred nova]

so maybe its doesn't have the same issues idk

[shrewd needle]

Maybe you need to stop looking at historical reliability and update yourself.

[weary hedge]

Played this shit on the original Xbox

[dry siren]

scared the SHIT outta me on PS2

[weary hedge]

That games dark 😭

[dry siren]

7 year old me was not ready

[weary hedge]

Not something you typically want in ur brain at 7😂

[dry siren]

i didnt even finish the tutorial lol i hid behind the gate

[charred nova]

id go for a 2006 wrx sti

[shrewd needle]

Damn, 7-year-old you used garrotes on people in Manhunt? 😔

[dry siren]

i was exposed to a lot very young

[shrewd needle]

Ah, yes...how do you like the turbo-charged reliability?

[weary hedge]

Me too brotha me too

[dry siren]

many things have transpired in my life that i wish i had never partaken in

[weary hedge]

We livin tho 😌

[charred nova]

the brz is turboed bro

[dry siren]

come hell or hairy bath water

[shrewd needle]

I'm pretty sure it's N/A.

[ashen nebula]

[dry siren]

WHO ARE YOU??

[ashen nebula]

The local nice man

[weary hedge]

Omg it’s sonic

[charred nova]

wait

nah

[dry siren]

IT'S QUIKRETE

[charred nova]

they worded this poorly

[weary hedge]

Gotta go fast

[dry siren]

GOTTA FART

[ashen nebula]

Omg its i cant see yall profiles bruh its white for me

[ashen nebula]

Im actually metal sonic

[shrewd needle]

You...are getting more blind than a bat, Jack. It's just Boxer-4.

[weary hedge]

I know

What does metal sonic do again? I forgor

[charred nova]

well technically i am

[ashen nebula]

U look like the guy from twd

[charred nova]

so you got me

[dry siren]

clanker

[ashen nebula]

He like has a jet booster ontop of his ass

[dry siren]

ellis left 4 death

[weary hedge]

That’s fire bro

[shrewd needle]

Yes. So I do know something about the car I want. And I got only a few 'dream' cars, and if nothing, the BRZ will do.

[dry siren]

did i ever tell yall bout the time my buddy keith got pregnant

oh yeah i have l4d2 on pc and 360 😭

[ashen nebula]

Ik metal sonic should be more endurant than base sonic aswell cus metal sonic is yk metal

[charred nova]

tbh id want the s2000 but

same creature more or less

[weary hedge]

Did doctor robotnik create metal sonic?

[ashen nebula]

Yep

[shrewd needle]

Better, TBF. But I4?

[weary hedge]

I miss that egg head mf

[ashen nebula]

I think metal sonic will be featured in sonic 4 aswell

[charred nova]

f20a is super cool

[dry siren]

i never got into sonic or mario

[ashen nebula]

He has hair in like sonic 3 i think?

[charred nova]

its the most efficient 4 banger ever made

[weary hedge]

That was my shit as a kid

[dry siren]

i watched the super mario super show as a kid but never had any mario merch

[shrewd needle]

S2000 is F20C.

[ashen nebula]

Same

[charred nova]

thats what i meant

[weary hedge]

Oh yeah I haven’t seen that one yet

[dry siren]

I was an angry birds kid

[ashen nebula]

U shld check it out

[shrewd needle]

WTF? How even is the F20A the same?

[weary hedge]

I should. It’s been a long time since I’ve played any Nintendo game. Last I did it was on a Nintendo 64 or a Super Nintendo

[charred nova]

f20a doesn't even exist

so you got me

https://tenor.com/view/1984-george-orwell-george-orwell-1984-1984-chips-1984-ruffles-gif-7144052804264359069

[dry siren]

obey

[weary hedge]

I played this too

[shrewd needle]

F20A exists, dum-dum. Just not related to the F20C.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_F_engine?useskin=vector#F20A

[dry siren]

i had the plushies and toys

[charred nova]

wikipedia failed me once again

[dry siren]

when i was a wee lad

[shrewd needle]

Nah, you're just blind. And your brain's leaking.

Wikipedia lists everything properly. F20A is both SOHC and DOHC. F20C is different.

[weary hedge]

I was never that into it but it was a good one to play on my grandmas ipod 😭

[ashen nebula]

Yea

[dry siren]

i had ben on my mom's phone

[weary hedge]

Same and talking tom😭

[dry siren]

ohoho

uggh 😛

[shrewd needle]

DUDE! You're supposed to use the navigation box at the bottom (Honda Motor Company)!

I even posted the link!

[weary hedge]

😂

[charred nova]

yah i found it after

[shrewd needle]

Go back to car school!

[weary hedge]

I can’t believe they made a whole show after those apps lmao

[charred nova]

[dry siren]

[charred nova]

[weary hedge]

That’s where young jits became men

[shrewd needle]

No, now. You're seriously losing it.

[charred nova]

no im completely serious

[dry siren]

also im proud to say i've never done any substances or alcohol in my entire time alive

[charred nova]

lmao

[dry siren]

so far

[shrewd needle]

For what? Automotive design?

[charred nova]

no

automative repair

thats where da money is

[weary hedge]

Good stay away from that junk

[dry siren]

:3

я понимаю

[weary hedge]

I don’t speak communism

[dry siren]

BWAAAHH

[weary hedge]

Only cheeseburgers and fries

[shrewd needle]

But you don't even know the difference between FA20 and FB20. Or F20A and F20C...

How you going to do automotive repair?

[dry siren]

wanna go on a dinner date to whataburger

[shrewd needle]

Burger King moment.

[weary hedge]

That’s ratchet 😭

[charred nova]

idk im going to school to learn

[dry siren]

im not racist ☹️

[charred nova]

if you knew everything before going that'd be kinda dumb

[weary hedge]

Bro

[shrewd needle]

I know, but I got low hopes. 😔

[dry siren]

OH

[shrewd needle]

Nah, that makes the examinations easier. 😏

[dry siren]

😭 SHIT

[weary hedge]

Rachet as in ghetto

[charred nova]

im about to say something insanely racist i can not contain my fucken rage

[ashen nebula]

Did you know metal sonic is actually made from metal not plastic because in the old days of sonic there was a episode when metal sonic was smashed up by sonic and made people think is metal sonic him but metal sonic is actually a metallic version of sonic and uses fuel while sonic eats corndogs! But did you know metal sonic uses thrusters and doesnt run unlike sonic?

[dry siren]

WHO CARES CMON

[shrewd needle]

What? Swapping a motorcycle engine into a Supra? 😏

[dry siren]

im from west virginia lower your expectations

[weary hedge]

Nah that shit nasty

[dry siren]

i can cook for you then

[charred nova]

well i don't like supras so go ahead i guess

[shrewd needle]

But nah, seriously...I'm happy you're getting to learn new things.

[shrewd needle]

Damn...that's a first.

[charred nova]

the mk3 supra is cool

mk4 eh.......

[dry siren]

can i wear my labcoat and black mesa ID badge while i cook for u
🥺👉 👈

[charred nova]

mk3 is like 8k usd in working condition

[shrewd needle]

Mk4 is the famous one...

[charred nova]

mk4 is 70k plus

[weary hedge]

That’s tough asf🔥 I wanna be more like metal sonic

[ashen nebula]

Did you know metal sonic is actually made from metal not plastic because in the old days of sonic there was a episode when metal sonic was smashed up by sonic and made people think is metal sonic him but metal sonic is actually a metallic version of sonic and uses fuel while sonic eats corndogs! But did you know metal sonic uses thrusters and doesnt run unlike sonic?

[shrewd needle]

Well, it got famous, so...yea.

[weary hedge]

Bro how old are you be real 😂

[dry siren]

19

[charred nova]

rx7 fd in mint condition is like 45k

much rather have that

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but no one wants a Wankel, so it's much lower.

[ashen nebula]

Btw @weary hedge have u ever watched twd series like the actual show or only the telltale game?

[weary hedge]

Ur young lil jit

[charred nova]

no everyone does who buying

[weary hedge]

Both through and through

[charred nova]

engine swapped rx7s are literally worthless

[dry siren]

AT LEAST I AINT A FOSSIL

[charred nova]

lol

[shrewd needle]

Then why Supra 70,000 and RX-7 = 45,000?

[weary hedge]

I’m 21😭

[ashen nebula]

Alr did u watched all seasons?

[charred nova]

less famous

[dry siren]

YOU AINT THAT MUCH OLDER THO

[shrewd needle]

Hence less desirable. 😏

[weary hedge]

You don’t got eyebags like me yet tho

[shrewd needle]

He's about to become a fossil in a decade.

[dry siren]

i have a lazy eye

[weary hedge]

Yessir

[charred nova]

like if you swap in the tri rotor it makes big numbers like a supra but factory it can only make like 800 ish reliably

[dry siren]

and piss poor geriatric vision

[charred nova]

with out exotic fuels

[weary hedge]

Yes

[charred nova]

like methanol

[ashen nebula]

Spinoffs?

[shrewd needle]

Exactly.

[charred nova]

tri rotor can do 1200 and above though

[weary hedge]

Not the new ones no

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but we talking stock. Even if upgraded, but stock motor.

[charred nova]

stock its about the same

[weary hedge]

That’s nasty bro don’t tell me that

[ashen nebula]

Alr alr i stopped watching at s10 and only watched a bit of the daryl spin off

[dry siren]

HOW TF THAT NASTY??

[charred nova]

rotaries are just way cheaper to build

[weary hedge]

Shows fire huh?

[ashen nebula]

Yep

[shrewd needle]

I'm pretty sure upgrading a stock Supra engine will give a much higher performance ceiling than upgrading a stock RX-7 engine.

[weary hedge]

I like both eyes looking at me

[dry siren]

i can focus em

[ashen nebula]

But like the later seasons walkers kinda non even there anymore unlike season 1-3

[dry siren]

but whenever i space out the left one kinda spins

[charred nova]

rotary's will crack there oil channels around 500 so you just cut them off to fix it

[weary hedge]

Nah ur chopped bro

[shrewd needle]

Very reliability.

[dry siren]

at least i have all my teeth unlike most of my home state

[charred nova]

they dont do it naturally lol

[weary hedge]

Season 1-3 are amazing

[charred nova]

you basically just run a hose

from one rotor housing to the other

to replace the oil channels

[hallow shadow]

Yeah. I can’t wait for these spawns to get worked out.
Every time I go in to sell to Quiet, something attacks the shop.

[charred nova]

then no more problems

[weary hedge]

That’s not something to brag about. Taking care of teeth is a necessity 😂

[shrewd needle]

But cracking the oil channels...

[ashen nebula]

Yep id say the governor was like actually scary in earlier seasons cus the group had limited resources unlike season 7+

[charred nova]

rotaries had a fraction of the dev time of the tradatonal piston engine

they aren't gonna be perfect

its unrealistic expectation

[weary hedge]

Very true. He was a cold blooded psychopath

[shrewd needle]

But Mazda been making them for like...decades now.

[charred nova]

and only they have been

[ashen nebula]

He literally kept severed heads

[shrewd needle]

But where development?

[weary hedge]

I know that shit made me sick

[charred nova]

no where cus they don't make em anymore

[ashen nebula]

I just skipped that scene cus it was too graphic when i was a child ykyk

[charred nova]

well they do but

not in a car

they still make crate fd rx7 engines you can buy

[weary hedge]

Yeah that’s for the best. You shouldn’t be watching that show as a kid tho😂

[shrewd needle]

So basically just low-volume production?

[charred nova]

yes

[ashen nebula]

I watched twd like alot when i was a kid with my siblings lol

[charred nova]

they can't make them work with emissions also they decided well people didn't like the rx8 so they don't want rotaries anymore

people just didn't want the rx8

wasn't what people really wanted

[shrewd needle]

I'd take one, NGL.

[weary hedge]

Damn. 😂My grandma always watched it when I was a kid so I decided to watch it when I got older lol

[charred nova]

i would but unlike rx7s which a good chunk of people properly took care of

[ashen nebula]

Nah thats crazy lol

[charred nova]

no one took care of rx8s

so they are all dead now

[dry siren]

sometimes i remember how weak my human body is and then i feel like im incapable of moving

[weary hedge]

Ikr lmao

[charred nova]

and if they sat too long they are dead forever

[dry siren]

like every vein becomes noticeable

[charred nova]

coolant seals fail and leak

and rust the engines out

[shrewd needle]

F...

[ashen nebula]

What was she when she watched twd in her 60s?

[charred nova]

not really and F

cus the rx8 engine is vastily inferrior to the older rx7 ones

[weary hedge]

Probably like 40-50

[charred nova]

except in emissions

[ashen nebula]

Thats more understandable since twd is more for 20-40s cus it has drama

[weary hedge]

Yeah exactly

[charred nova]

naturally aspirated fc rx7s can easily hit 200k or more miles

if you pre mix them

rx8s wont do that

[ashen nebula]

Fr

[weary hedge]

Weakling

[charred nova]

unless you have one of the very rare 2009/2012 models

[shrewd needle]

But how is the RX-8's engine inferior?

[charred nova]

where they fixed them

[charred nova]

its way more fragile

it can't hold power at all

[dry siren]

i could be obliterated by a plane any second

1990 turbo rx7s and beyond can take over 500hp with the stock rotors and cam shaft

[weary hedge]

Personally I’d catch that shi

[charred nova]

fds can take like 800 plus

rx8s die around 325

[dry siren]

im scared of dying

[weary hedge]

We all finna die eventually luh bro

[dry siren]

but sometimes i dont want to be here

[charred nova]

so most people just mod them to rev to 10k or 11k rpm and leave it there

[dry siren]

my dome is a very conflicting place

i got little guys that run around in there

[weary hedge]

Get yo shi together twin find ur safe place and grow inside it

[dry siren]

idk where is safe idk how to talk to people

[weary hedge]

You’ve been talking to me fine

[charred nova]

alright im done talking about cars tonight

[dry siren]

yea but mostly bullshitting

i trust people on the internet more than in person, i do better not seeing someone

i get nervous when people look at me

[charred nova]

the internet never lies to me ever

[weary hedge]

Fair enough. Everyone’s got they struggles tho

[charred nova]

everytime the internet says click here for free boobs

i click everytime

[weary hedge]

A smart man never misses out on some free boobs

[dry siren]

it's weird, i want someone to be with in person but i suck at face to face interaction

[weary hedge]

Ur thinking about it too deep

You just gotta exist

[dry siren]

yeah but it gets exhausting being alone

[weary hedge]

I’m alone and couldn’t be happier. It’s up to you to decide what you want and how ur gonna get it

[dry siren]

i guess

[weary hedge]

Where do you see urself in 5 years

[dry siren]

i really dont know

i could be dead, homeless, in college, or working

[charred nova]

go into the trades

we are running out of trade workers at an alarming rate

which mean your wage will be going up

[dry siren]

im not much of a handy person

[weary hedge]

Then that’s where ur gonna be. One of those places. It’s all about balance that makes the man

[dry siren]

im no man

i'll never be one

[charred nova]

BORING

[dry siren]

compared to my predecessors, im a pansy

[weary hedge]

That’s a controversial subject really

[charred nova]

GO GRAB YOUR SELF A WRENCH SOLIDER

ive never been more excited to leave my current job

i did not get to use a wrench even once

[weary hedge]

What makes you feel that way? The lack to get things done or stick up for urself?

[charred nova]

ive never been so miserable

[weary hedge]

Tragic

[charred nova]

my problem solver

adderall pills

make all lifes great problems

[dry siren]

im squeamish, i wallow in grief and fear, so on and so forth

[charred nova]

DISAPPEAR

[weary hedge]

Everyone got they fix lmao

[dry siren]

medication screwed me over

[weary hedge]

Why

[charred nova]

not all sunshine and rainbows but

[dry siren]

i was severely underweight and antisocial

[charred nova]

the good out weigh the bad

[dry siren]

after i dropped my prescriptions i had a better appetite

[weary hedge]

That’s all that matters really bro

[charred nova]

lets just say the women wont find me very fun to talk to

BUT

i can live with that

[weary hedge]

Tbf most women are delusional but I’d like to believe there’s some cool ones out there

[dry siren]

i like men

[charred nova]

lmao

[dry siren]

because men understand men

[charred nova]

tomboy wife where you at

[weary hedge]

To each their own

[charred nova]

https://tenor.com/view/uni-cat-gif-16508948274886257497

[dry siren]

idk, im just not as happy as i used to be

[charred nova]

im be real chief

im not sure we are the best to take these problems too

we are random discord chatters

not therapists

and no you can't have my adderall

that is mine

[weary hedge]

I am majoring psychology in college so I do understand a lot of issues but I don’t think stalker general chat is the best place to talk about it in all fairness for the people in here

[dry siren]

yeah

idk at this point

[charred nova]

THEN YOU CAN SIGN MY ADDERALL PERSCRIPTION YES BRO

[dry siren]

i have a therapist but it feels nearly pointless, im not getting any answers

[weary hedge]

HMU in a few years when I get my degree. Until then nah😂

[hallow shadow]

Oh shucks.

[charred nova]

ill be back when you do

[weary hedge]

Shit hmu Brodie or take it to #💬┃en_offtop

[hallow shadow]

On today’s episode of “Chat Escalated So Quickly”

[charred nova]

what do you need the medication for
-# discord moderation

[weary hedge]

I keep it real with people. I’ve had a lot of friends and family struggle with mental health so I’m always open for a chat

[hallow shadow]

and how does that make you feel?

[dry siren]

uh what's hmu mean

[weary hedge]

hit me up

[dry siren]

oh

[hallow shadow]

He’s waiting for you to talk it out, in that channel.

I need the option to wipe Sidorovich off the map.

Effing slumlord.

[visual mortar]

are you a firefighter

[hallow shadow]

JUICE MAN

[dry siren]

no? why

[charred nova]

he thought your address in your bio was a copypasta

[dry siren]

oh no it's just a neat place

[visual mortar]

600 Locust Ave, Centralia, PA 17927

[charred nova]

doxxed

also save a fox lady is not as innocent as twitter made her out to be

ive seen things i can never unsee

[frozen solar]

WHAT DI YOU SEE?

[charred nova]

i can't even tell you lmao

but its on kiwi farms

[frozen solar]

WHY ARE YOU FARMIMNG FOR KIWIS?

[hallow shadow]

Because they’re delicious.

Cut em in half, and eat it with a spoon.

[frozen solar]

POOR BIRDS :(

[wooden walrus]

Has there been any official statement about why gsc settled on that design for Dalin?

I mean I don't wanna get political but that's uh, a very distinctive look he has

[charred nova]

https://tenor.com/view/zelenszkij-zelenski-zelensky-ukraine-gif-25217874

[static falcon]

Ukrainian actor Yaroslav Shinder

[wooden walrus]

I don't mean the actor itself as much as the design

Maybe it's just a coinkidink

But ynow, between the youngish dude with black suit, clean shaven, black hair and just the fact that the character itself feels... kinda off in comparison with the rest of the cast

Even when compared to sircaa lady, her design feels more... kinda futuristic or smth, idk

Just was wondering since I haven't been able to find much on Google or this discord, not sure if gsc had ever pronounced themselves on the matter

...come to think about it, sircaa is also employing Ukrainian dr freeman so hey

[dry siren]

whar

[charred nova]

i can't describe the images in this server

but ill never be able to unsee them

[dry siren]

dms?

i gotta know if it's THAT bad

[charred nova]

its on kiwi farms

go read for your self

[sharp sierra]

I love stalker 2 but getting a bottle of water 2 bandages and 4 rounds of 9x18 from a stash in pripyat is a bit annoying! Old game here's a gun and 120 rounds if AP plus some grenades! New game you will get nothing and like it!

[charred nova]

images included but beware

they are horrifying

[weary hedge]

Please tell me you didn’t see some live leak shi

[charred nova]

well depends..... it kinda is but not quite that bad

the one thing i can say is

there was a photo of a dead fox that was being kept in a freezer

[weary hedge]

Jesus Christ

[dry siren]

i perused around, didnt see anything

[weary hedge]

We got the dahmer of foxes loose about

[dry siren]

OH

THAT'S

problematic yea im changin my bio

[charred nova]

there was also the only fans photos she took

completly naked with many of her animals

[weary hedge]

That’s actually concerning as hell

[charred nova]

i wish i could unseen those images man

god they are horrific

[weary hedge]

Why would you even look into it???

[charred nova]

i thought it was fake

[weary hedge]

🤦‍♂️

[charred nova]

its all on kiwi farms

[dry siren]

[weary hedge]

Quick way to dox urself by using sites like that

[charred nova]

not really

[weary hedge]

Idk I don’t trust sketchy sites that allow that kind of shit

[charred nova]

its not really sketchy

if your not a public figure your dox would never end up on there

[weary hedge]

If they allow people to post frozen dead animal corpses is sketchy😂

[charred nova]

its to document notable internet figures

of course doxing is bad but

at least for now its legal in the us

[weary hedge]

Yeah

That’s crazy tho god damn

[charred nova]

and you wont find any actual illegal content on the farms

gross shit yes of course but

[weary hedge]

You said she was taking naked pictures with animals? That comes pretty close to beastiality…

[charred nova]

its not nearly as terrible as it could be

[weary hedge]

I’ll take ur word for it😂

[charred nova]

UGH

[weary hedge]

Sorry you had to see that tho. Not typically something you stumble across on a day to day basis 💀

[charred nova]

sometimes ignorance is bliss

[weary hedge]

I SEE THAT GUCCI DALIN

[still current]

[hallow shadow]

Kryvenko or Senkevych?

They both seem sketchy as hell.

[chrome jetty]

Literally harassing and doxing women

[charred nova]

Not illegal

At least in the United States where the farms is hosted

[chrome jetty]

It often is here in Europe lol

It's called harassment

[charred nova]

Unlucky

Doesn’t really matter if it’s true

I don’t condone most of the beliefs held by the people on the farms

But if the info is true

[chrome jetty]

Yeah because most of the time you can't do much about banning websites, the fact remains that Kiwi farm is a website full of degenerates

[charred nova]

I won’t disagree with you

[chrome jetty]

It does more harm than any good

[charred nova]

It never leaves the farms

If you don’t wanna see it don’t go there

Anyone who tries to take anything off the farms is banned

They are better than Reddit in that regard

But really stands like it or not it’s one of the few places that allows true free speech

[chrome jetty]

What is that even supposed to mean lol

Anyone can access it and see it

[acoustic orchid]

Quick question for everyone: how would you say@waxen marten? Is it Molit or MOLT?

[weary hedge]

Why would you tag him for that😂

[dreamy dagger]

You say MoL33t. Dude's elite in his own way. He a chad. He's lit. A true NDA-complier. Master of his own spec. Boss of STOCtown.

Y need more?

Better Call Molit!

[acoustic orchid]

How do you say it in person? In my videos comment section some say it's MOLT some say Molit 🤣

[dreamy dagger]

You don't say it in person, because you catch fire. When things get lit... you call Molit.

[acoustic orchid]

I have a few people in my comments sections kicking off with each other, saying you pronounce as Molt and others Molit🤣

[acoustic orchid]

😂

[weary hedge]

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve always called him molt and seen others call him molt. It truly doesn’t matter tho 😂🤷‍♂️

[dreamy dagger]

Wachu think of S2 as of today, Mr. Dave?

Mid/Trash - Perfect/Good?

[hallow shadow]

This Icarus place is sketchy…

“The real Captain is laying over there, hasn’t budged in three days”
Like… What? What do you mean?

[weary hedge]

I don’t like it either… too much psi rads

[hallow shadow]

I think I messed up?
I shot up some antennae, and now (fake) Captain wants me to go underground?

[acoustic orchid]

Yeah same just trying to settle a debate for the 0.1 percent who mention it in my comments section 🤣

[weary hedge]

I think that’s part of the mission no?

[hallow shadow]

I had two options, really.

[weary hedge]

I haven’t done the ward stuff in a hot minute

[acoustic orchid]

I would say good, not perfect, still a lot of work to do. We just need more side content in the end game locations, better AI/A-life

[hallow shadow]

I could side with the Captain’s plan, or the Doctor’s.
I’m going Ward, first playthrough, and chose the Captain.

[acoustic orchid]

Hopefully, testing should start in the coming weeks for 1.6 ready for September

[weary hedge]

Ahhh I’m not sure what that outcome is. I did the doctors

[hallow shadow]

That SIRCAA bro seemed a little too incompetent and inconsistent for me to think he was legit.

[weary hedge]

Yeah I didn’t really know what I was doing back then. He also seems a little sketch

[hallow shadow]

I’m already committed.. What happened with the Doctor?

Cause like… People, randomly going nuts, on a Base? For no reason?
It takes some extra kind of special to drive a whole Base of PMC goons up a wall.
It also takes a special kind of inept to be a SIRCAA dude, and not have some kind of answer.
Captain Bro just sounds super concerned about the fact his Joes are dropping like flies, due to literal mental health issues.

I’m doing the right thing… I heard a Warden say “Finally, that thing was starting to make my head spin” when I shot one of the machines.

[weary hedge]

I learned the traitor's name and location fairly quickly

[hallow shadow]

Correction: I believe I’m doing the right thing.

Shterev? Is that his name?

That’s who the Captain sent me to go talk to.

[weary hedge]

I can’t remember his name. I think you have a string of missions before you find out who it is and where they are

[hallow shadow]

Shucks.
Alrighty.
Time to click-clack and fight back.

Faust makes me so mad.

[weary hedge]

After doing some research the only difference is you obtain info about the traitor quicker if you choose the doctor

[weary hedge]

He’s a bit of a sociopath

[hallow shadow]

Hmmm. Fair enough.

[hallow shadow]

He’s a bit of somethin’

[weary hedge]

Completely disregards the feelings of everyone else’s and yaps about the monolith

[hallow shadow]

Like he never broke free, in the first place.
His little spat with Strider..

[hallow shadow]

Happy Hunting, Stalker!

That’s a neat ass Scanner, where do you find it? I have a “Bear” scanner?
Never actually used it.
I barely artifact hunt.

[weary hedge]

Good ole Veles detector

[weary hedge]

You get one as a reward later on in the story. I don’t think there’s a way to obtain one beforehand

[hallow shadow]

Noted. Shucks.

[weary hedge]

I would check the red forest trader. If anyone sells one it’s them

[hallow shadow]

There’s a Hub, in Red Forest?

I ran there, for a Dnipro, and ended up with the rifle, and a Tactical Helmet.

Everything hurt so bad, I turned around and left.

[weary hedge]

No it’s just a trader

[hallow shadow]

Fair enough

[weary hedge]

I’ll send you the location in #📸┃screens_and_videos incase you ever wanna head out that way

[hallow shadow]

Please, and thank you.
I’m out on a cigarette break, and getting some food.
Saved, and quit, right before I hopped down to follow “Fake” Captain’s orders.

[weary hedge]

Damn. You found the traitor?

[hallow shadow]

Not yet.
I figured “go underground” was a natural stopping point, so I’m saved right at the ladder inside the planetarium.

When I get back to my console, though… It seems Icarus Base and I have a reckoning to face.

So, I need a snack and a cigarette before I put my Dancing Shoes on.

[weary hedge]

Hell yeah brother. Those missions are fun. It’s quite the situation they are in

[hallow shadow]

Last time (pre-1.5) I made it to Zaton, I was more Spark oriented. Wasn’t even allowed on this Base.
I’m all giddy for seeing a new perspective.

[weary hedge]

There’s huge turns in gameplay between the two. You’ll see big differences later on too

[hallow shadow]

Oh, I bet.
Since I’m committing to Ward for this first game.
This is exciting.

I find it absolutely hilarious how quickly Skif gets used to that Ward Badge in his pocket.

But. Using it to save that Malachite scientist was probably the only “good” I did with it. Even if I did prevent the Ward from getting the data.

What was the mission called.. Black Sheep?

Vicky sent me out on it.

[weary hedge]

I respect it. I find it funny how quickly he adapts to the ward lifestyle. He constantly doubts spark when you side with them

[hallow shadow]

I chalk that up to: Skif was a Marine. Ward probably feels comfortable, if not familiar.

[weary hedge]

That one you find stalkers I believe

[hallow shadow]

I’d doubt Spark, too. Weirdos.

[weary hedge]

Yeah spark really just isn’t his crowd tbh

[hallow shadow]

Yeah, first she sent me out to find two sets of dudes.
I came back, and some other scientist called.

She sent me off to find “Bill and Nye, my Missing Science Guys”

Dead Stalkers with data she wanted.

Met my first Bayuns, out there. Found me a cool artifact, called Eye?

[weary hedge]

Scientists always be sending stalkers on death runs for research purposes😂

[hallow shadow]

I mean.. It looks cool, but I doubt I’d wear it.

[hallow shadow]

The Malachite Guide actually gripes about it.
It’s wonderful.

[hallow shadow]

WHOA, is that a carving?

Where did you find that? That looks like a Tiki/Totem!

[quasi summit]

Yeah there’s actually quite a few I also found a shrine with mother Mary on it with a Medkit near zalyssia

Seriously love stalker 2 just miss faction wars

[hallow shadow]

That’s crazy. I’ve not been attentive enough, apparently.

Shucks.
It’s a quarter to 5.
I should probably sleep in a day, right?

[quasi summit]

Well technically yes but no at the same time because your body can go 1 day fine (going to sleep at quarter to 5 probably isn’t good for your sleep / wake cycle)

[quasi summit]

Took me 100 hours before I saw it

[hallow shadow]

I haven’t spent much time looking at the trees, I’m always trying to see through them. Cause, obviously these NPCs can.

[quasi summit]

Monolith soldiers seing me through buildings makes me tweak out

[hallow shadow]

Being consistently engaged from the maximum distance through cover I can’t even use, drives me up a wall.

Like. Bro. We are both in this rice paddy together. How come you have a perfect line on me, and I have to rush you to see you?
It’s insane.

It’s all fun and games until the trees start speaking Ukrainian.

[quasi summit]

All fun and games till you see a little invisible man running

[charred nova]

It refers to the people who post

[quasi summit]

because trust me that ISNT a man 😭

[hallow shadow]

Yup. It’s all peachy, until you see the wind runs past you.

[hallow shadow]

It was a man.

[quasi summit]

Can’t you find where they were created in one of the x labs ?

[hallow shadow]

But like… These dogs.
These Rats.
These BAYUNS

[hallow shadow]

I honestly don’t know.

[quasi summit]

I just run from bayuns

[hallow shadow]

Where’s the X Labs?

[quasi summit]

They are just all around the zone

[hallow shadow]

Wait. Malachite?

[quasi summit]

I’m talking like x18 and stuff

[hallow shadow]

Oh. I haven’t found anything cool like that.

Or, I didn’t pay attention/remember.

[quasi summit]

The scientist shelters and the underground labs

Like agraporom or however its spelt

[hallow shadow]

Oh, no. I’ve only seen the one in the Intro, and the one at Noontide Base.

[hallow shadow]

I’ve passed by there.
I’ll check it out.

It’s on my map.

[quasi summit]

Agraporom underground is in most main story lines

I hate that place

It sucks

[hallow shadow]

I’d imagine so…

If it’s Bloodsucker Home of Record.

[quasi summit]

I believe it is

And I believe others were created there

[hallow shadow]

Hell yeah.
Time for some classic “Snoop N Shoot”

[quasi summit]

I believe there are pseudo giants in a lot of the stalker 2 labs

[hallow shadow]

The… What..?

Like Burers? You mean the Burers?

[quasi summit]

No

[hallow shadow]

Dude yoinked my Dnipro out of my hands. Had me heated

[quasi summit]

I’m talking about the big guys they are terrifying in a small space

[hallow shadow]

Hmm. I’ll have to see. I’ve not met one, yet.

[quasi summit]

And one of these labs has 5 bloodsuckers working with them

X17 lab right next to prypiat

[hallow shadow]

Ojhhh man.

[edgy ingot]

Hello here

[quasi summit]

4 scientist bunkers only one door open with a pseudo giant in the middle

[quasi summit]

Hello

[weary hedge]

Ello stalker, welcome to the rabble

[ebon blade]

Look across the river and you will see where the game started.

[stark crescent]

hmm. you forgot that the Tea App did exactly that as well?

besides, everyone gets their due dilligence. even 4chan got hacked and stuff leaked from it. its not like you are save anywhere from anything

[frigid hill]

huntsman218 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[honest ferry]

legends of the zone trilogy contains all 3 og games?

[quasi summit]

Yes

[hoary crest]

OXA update, lessgooo

[normal fractal]

Does anyone know what fsr does

[half seal]

FSR usually refers to AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution, a graphics technology developed by AMD.

Here’s what it does:

Upscaling technology: FSR takes a game rendered at a lower resolution (like 1080p) and upscales it to a higher resolution (like 1440p or 4K).

[normal fractal]

Ok

Thanks

[normal sail]

we should take snorks hopping abilities away as a form of punishment whenever they act up

[grave heath]

booted the game finally just to see how it ran even optimized it and still had bad frames

will say graphics 10/10 but performance and optimization and stability is below average

[pure canyon]

anyone remember where the 1911 extended mag is? I got it on my last playthrough but totally dont remember where lol

[static lark]

You’re not the true Lazarus

[wooden walrus]

Game doesn't run that much better than at release but they're working on upgrading it to ue5.5

So we should see a massive increase in performance someone over the next uh, week to half a year

[hoary crest]

Kinda hope thats the first thing on their list to get out

Happy to wait a month for it, but better performance is absolutely gonna mean more players, which is what they probably want

[pure canyon]

i feel like its so rig-dependent too

personally with just a config file from nexus im playing buttery smooth (outside rostok) at 120 on Epic with a 3080 and i7 11700

[wooden walrus]

with framengen and 1080p at the very least

I've played it on a 3070 and a 5060ti and in either case I'll maybe get 55-60 fps while in the middle of a field on "high" at 1440p. Maybe.

[pure canyon]

yeah i just turned on framegen. without it i get 60ish. Currently trying to find a way to get holos to not ghost with framegen because, ebsides that, not noticing any issues with fraemgen so far. looks great

[wooden walrus]

and also you're probably running tf out of supersampling as well, which also helps the ghosting

[pure canyon]

although tbh the 60 was fine. on 1.5 the stutters are only really in rostok which tbh is stalker tradition at this point

[pure canyon]

as in turn super sampling down to help ghosting or keep it up to help ghosting?

[wooden walrus]

well it depends on the method really, TSR for example has a metric boatload of ghosting depending on how hard you drive it, but in general, the lower the internal resolution, the more likely you'll get ghosting, noise, and stuff like that

I personally don't see the point of running "epic" at performance supersampling over "high" on balanced or quality. But that's up to each.

it's also true that my cpu is sweating like a mfr to get the game to run decently, and I'm sure that also probably factors in on the final performance (5600x)

[pure canyon]

i know less about PCs than you lol but i got ZGPU utilization at 99% and CPU at 62%. maybe i just have a beefster CPU for this game

every game ive ever played since freakin like 2006 except the most optimized of optimized games has been cpu-limited. so i just always get the beefiest CPU i can

[stuck seal]

Anyone remember that little side quest where you have guide someone who’s clearly not a bandit out of electric field? It’s been so long since I did that quest, I don’t remember if he actually follows you or just goes down a scripted path

Because there are a few times where you can help find someone in the game, but when you find them, you don’t actually take them anywhere, they just sit there and despawn afterwards. And my justification for this is that there’s no coding in the game for people to follow you, but then I remembered this quest where you have to guide someone out of an anomaly, but I don’t remember if he actually follows you or follows a scripted path

[buoyant trellis]

I think he follow you

[hollow tinsel]

Hi! Quick question? In multiplayer, will we be able to do co-op with friends or something not necessarily PVP?

[tranquil jewel]

What is the extra side quest in the Ultimate edition? Is it just the journalist stashes?

[stuck seal]

Yes

[ripe falcon]

He follows you

[stuck seal]

GSC has stated that they don’t want to do coop, they stated that many times

[ripe falcon]

The details of MP are not knows yet but there won't be coop

[ripe falcon]

Yes, Journalist's quest

[hollow tinsel]

it's really a shame it could have been just incredible

I hope a mod will come to create one. 😅

[stuck seal]

Don’t waste your breath over it, it’s not gonna happen, and won’t, and when you think about it, it will be really hard to pull off

[tranquil jewel]

Oh...its already off discount

[hollow tinsel]

When I see everything they have already done, I tell myself that they could achieve this.

[stuck seal]

Ok

[hollow tinsel]

And it could become one of the best co-op survival games that there would be, but oh well.

[ripe falcon]

not really since the game is not designed for it

[hollow tinsel]

Just doing a generic PvP or capture the zone would be disappointing for this game.

[stuck seal]

Exactly, making a single player game coop isn’t easy, like at all

[stuck seal]

Then don’t play the multiplayer because that’s what it’s going to be

[hollow tinsel]

I have my doubts lol. He will be number 1 for 1 to 2 years and then he will have no one left or just the haters.

Bref.. Good day

[stuck seal]

Closest thing I can see to coop is that in the MP, there’s a mode where 2-3 players can take on a random challenge at the rostok arena. Not like in the S2 campaign, completely separate, just the players with random loadouts, and a random challenge

[ripe falcon]

Single Player is the main focus just like it was for the original trilogy

[stuck seal]

Precisely

[tranquil jewel]

the Zone is a good setting for that, but the story of S2 does not work with a companion in tow.

[hollow tinsel]

I hope they create a game where co-op is possible.

[stuck seal]

In 10-15 years maybe

[weary hedge]

uh

[hollow tinsel]

no problem another studio will create a similar game and make it a co-op 😂🤣

[weary hedge]

so when is the game updating to ue 5.5.4?

[stuck seal]

That would be interesting to see

[stuck seal]

They didn’t specify dates so

[gentle citrus]

31.12 23:59

[shell flax]

So wait, did that dude join to ask about coop, get sad there won’t be and then wax poetic about another company doing it then leave?

[weary hedge]

oh hell nah why still so long

[weary hedge]

wait there wont be coop wtf the devs said they were gonna implement it

[shell flax]

They said no coop repeatedly, it’s gonna be classic mp like deathmatch and stuff

[stuck seal]

Yeah idk who told you there was going to be coop but they lied to you

[weary hedge]

why would you want this in s2

[stuck seal]

If GSC puts a coop mode to stalker 2 years in the future, it won’t be a whole campaign, it’ll probably just be a side mode in the MP section

[stuck seal]

I don’t think anyone does, but that’s not our choice to make, we don’t work at GSC

Plus it’s almost like tradition because two games in the trilogy had arena pvp

[winter harbor]

Did anyone else get an update predownload?? I havent seen anything from gsc about it

[tardy rain]

Minor update next week, mutant/NPC fixes

[cedar dagger]

Yes

1.5.3 I guess

[winter harbor]

I hope they fix the mutants spawning in town, a lil annoying

[tardy rain]

I think they've elected to lean into it, and are replacing all NPCs with mutants

[winter harbor]

Lmfao 🤣🤣 so we ARE getting gamma

[tardy rain]

Make sure you have psi-block if you need to buy anything, traders are now controllers and they WILL screw you over on prices

[winter harbor]

Bro they already do, imagine giving someone 2000 for a 15000 koupon gun cough sodorovich

[inner basalt]

Is the teleport anomaly in Rostok broken? I'm doing everything I can to get close, but it doesn't pull me in anymore

[smoky hawk]

they wont, GSC has said multiple times, that they do not plan to do it

[graceful dirge]

Well as always modders will do what GSC won't, hopefully won't take as much time as xrmpe did tho

[smoky hawk]

make the game worse? dont worry, they already did it with that crafting mod

[graceful dirge]

Lmao I'm using the crafting one now and it's great.

[smoky hawk]

the corruption seeping into paradise

[graceful dirge]

Oya and on console. Shining Zone bitch!

[ashen rock]

I’m not turning mods on till I’m done with my first play through

[smoky hawk]

you are not real

you are not a real person

you are a construct nuilt to ragebait me]

you will not accomplish this objective

[hallow shadow]

Can you combine “Craftable Zone” and OXA? Or are those still wonky with each other?

[smoky hawk]

I rob you of your directive

[graceful dirge]

Neither is the shining zone. Or stalker 2 for that matter, actually.

[smoky hawk]

I dont talk with clankers

[hallow shadow]

Unless you were at the battle of Geonosis, you have to say “Clanka”.

[wooden walrus]

damn, mod dropping that hard r like nothing 🥶

[half seal]

You asked the trusty chatGPT 🤓

[stuck seal]

I know, I also said this

[tardy rain]

there's a compatibility patch that makes them work together

they're not integrated though, so you can't use/make OXA items

Kyne expressed some interest in figuring that out at some point

[smoky hawk]

prob just wait for the next sdk update and see if they fix the BP problems

[tardy rain]

I still think its insane that they gave us modding tools with no load order management or custom BP launching ability

[smoky hawk]

they wanted us to do it old style

[tardy rain]

rebuilding the engine using a leaked build?

[smoky hawk]

making merger mods instead of using a weak ass mod organizers

gods strongest soldier uses Soup
the weakest, relies on mod organizer 2

[tardy rain]

merge mods are actual trash and i will die on that hill

[inner basalt]

Is the teleport anomaly in Rostok broken? I'm doing everything I can to get close, but it doesn't pull me in anymore

[tardy rain]

they sell them as a 'WOW 100% COMPATIBILITY' solution, which really just smashes mods together with no understanding of how they work, and users end up having no idea why their mods aren't working

[smoky hawk]

thats why you make a mega mod that has every mod together
extra points if you dont credit, its for pussies

[tardy rain]

The amount of reports I have to resolve where the user is using a demented mod list, "but its ok, I used a merge tool"

[tardy rain]

haha im just salty cos im a sucker for fixing stuff, and always end up unpicking these disasters for people

[wooden walrus]

alr, moment of truth, getting to zalissia post sircaa

hoping to the monolith the game behaves like it should this time around

[bronze rampart]

Hi

[still current]

Demosfen moment

[still current]

He's not talking about silly automated merges we used to do shit manually and by hand back in the day.

[upbeat frost]

Oh man the ending I picked was great. I went for the strelok path since years ago I started with him in the first game. When you played as Strelok (the marked one)

Did not disappoint at all.

[hoary crest]

The biggest barrier to entry with installing mods is the ability to read. Change my mind.

[charred nova]

Future update all mods are now only in Japanese

[hoary crest]

Use a translator tool then 😄

[charred nova]

They’ll be too dumb to figure it out

[upbeat frost]

1 thing I hope will come with expansions/dlc/updates is the extra layers we seen in older games like the pda with pictures or Factions and faction wars like in clear sky. (the rough looking pda from old stalkers had a vibe I really liked. this pda feels off)

[charred nova]

They should just swap the pda for an iPad

[hallow shadow]

Stalker 2’s Radio slaps so hard, I feel like I’m adopted.

Like, some of these songs hit harder than being on a date with Chris Brown.

Call me Rihanna, cause these songs got me BEAT

[stuck seal]

iPad kids in the zone

[ancient lion]

It would be fun as faction war. Android stalkers vs iOS stalkers

[hallow shadow]

Getting dropped because you rep the wrong PDA would be hilarious.

“What is that? A TI-82?!”

I’d like an audio mod that gives me the Half-Life flatline sound when I die.

Please.

Is there NOT a Guide at Icarus Base?

[wispy sundial]

Closest guide would be the one on the Skadovsk

no guide at Icarus

[hallow shadow]

Ahhh shucks.
The Boat folks?

Thank you.

[wispy sundial]

Yeah, the bigger one. There's a smaller one, the Shevchenko, they only have 1-2 traders. Skadovsk/Sultansk got everything.

[hallow shadow]

Sultansk! Ohhhh.
I know those dudes.
I’ll have to go get my Cluster, while I’m at it.

[wispy sundial]

Yeah it used to be called the Skadovsk. Now it's kinda both Sultansk and Skadovsk, also somewhat tied to a side quest

[charred nova]

Making Tik toks in the zone

Scar check out this skibidi meme I just saw

I’d like a Side Mission to replace Sidorovich.
Like, enough Loners get fed up with his dookie, that they drag him from that Bunker and put a better Trader in place.

Mostly. I just want Sido, on a pike.

[upbeat frost]

Star: Scar..... What is this guide?
Scar: It's a anime horse girl. she'll run us to locations super fast

[upbeat frost]

I have no gif power here :sad

[charred nova]

As someone who’s known how to ride a horse since I was a kid I find it very funny that they have finally made the horse game for men

Normal anything to do with horses is a girls only deal I was always the only guy

[upbeat frost]

its just a shame so many region locks

[charred nova]

I’ve not played but I remember waking up and it was suddenly everywhere

[stuck seal]

There would be no traders then

Rookie village relies on Sid even during the trilogy

[upbeat frost]

I had the same. I never heard of it before and suddenly it's horse girls. Its a funny game though

[hallow shadow]

My operative word being “Replace”

I don’t want to just remove Sidorovich. He’s an unfortunate, and necessary evil.
But he doesn’t have to always be there.
The side mission for the Sultansk Lady, and Quiet really allude to being able to have a better opportunity.

[charred nova]

they put a surprising amount of detail into each horse which is very surprising

[wooden walrus]

bro the zalissya fight is so ass

so ass

[hallow shadow]

I haven’t seen that part, yet.

I hear the stories, though.

But… How hard can it be? Zalyssia is literally just a Four-Way Intersection

[wooden walrus]

maybe play the game and you'll find out

[upbeat frost]

I'm all for some of them to be guides in Stalker 2. I need more guides, especially after I lost the guide in zallisya

[hallow shadow]

Probably won’t even notice it.

[charred nova]

Lmfao

Horse girl guide mod

[upbeat frost]

🤣

[charred nova]

I’d play that

[upbeat frost]

Modders take notes. We need a horse girl guide mod
