Exactly this...SO MUCH this happens to me, it's not even funny. And I've seen it happen to others too.

Like, I'm an idiot and even I can see actual trolling from 69 KM away.

[hallow shadow]

It was really just ok.

[pale ocean]

hehe "69 KM away".

I see what you did there.

[weary hedge]

[weary hedge]

On jahseh onfroy

[hallow shadow]

I rage bait, here.
The same way PC Lover does.

He hates on my console, I make fun of PC kids crying about “unplayable”.
Like, bro. Sorry your 6969fu card can’t handle it.
Just upgrade.

And BAM.
Every PC user crawls out the woodwork to tell me how it’s different.

[shrewd needle]

69 and 420 are magic numbers. Can't go wrong with 'em. 😏

[shrewd needle]

I remember falling for that bait once or twice.

[pale ocean]

Speakin' of 420....boutta roll up right now.

[shrewd needle]

Then I realized...you're stuck with Microsoft. Can't be a bigger troll than that. 😏

[silent valve]

good point

[shrewd needle]

Better be a 420 mm wide cigar you're rollin' up!

[pale ocean]

Joke's on you, I use macOS.

[hallow shadow]

I wish I could afford a baggie.
Got paid. Paid bills.
No medicinal funds.

[weary hedge]

Whatchu smokin twin?

[shrewd needle]

Propellant. 😏

[pale ocean]

I mean...it's double wide papers so...kinda.

[shrewd needle]

Good man.

[pale ocean]

Oh damn. And here I thought the word "joint" would be frowned upon.

[weary hedge]

🤣

[pale ocean]

I don't even know the name. But it's some GOOD shit.

[hallow shadow]

I mean. Some servers aren’t cool with “talking about drugs”.
So usually I speak in code about it.

I wanna hit.

[weary hedge]

Bro how you gonna smoke and not know what you put in your lungs. Cmon cuz

[pale ocean]

Stalkers drink vodka and then go shoot guns. I think were good.

[silent valve]

Its like...um...dont walk on the grass, smoke it

[pale ocean]

Because names of strains mean quite literally nothing. I also don't care.

[hallow shadow]

Yup. I just wanna know what the strain is, not what it’s called.

[weary hedge]

They don’t if you buy from ur local store but fair enough

[pale ocean]

OOOOOHHHH. You mean indica or sativa?

[hallow shadow]

If you’re in a state lucky enough to have that.
Georgia isn’t cool with it.

[weary hedge]

Duh😂

[pale ocean]

New Jersey m8.

[subtle spindle]

sopranos reference?

[hallow shadow]

Location.

[weary hedge]

GABAGOOL

[pale ocean]

Pretty sure it's a sativa. It's street weed though. Not from a dispo. Too expensive for the amount you get.

[hallow shadow]

I’m about to go sell feet pics for $60 so I can get a quarter.

[pale ocean]

Nope.

[weary hedge]

Street weed where it’s at. You can get some crazy cross breeds if you got the right folks

[silent valve]

Hm, I was in San Diego not a long time ago, when you're entering the city from the zoo-side, you'll cross a bridge where lots of homeless are literally camping alongside the bridge...and you have to close your windows because of the strong weed smell...or whatever they smoke there

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/sorry-please-pretty-please-gif-2667018502164666858

[hallow shadow]

Dispo’s have good stuff. But yes. Terribly overpriced.

[pale ocean]

But the actual good shit is even more expensive too. At least here in Jersey.

[hallow shadow]

I used to live in Maryland, and Florida.
I miss that.

[weary hedge]

Agreed.

[subtle spindle]

unlucky...

[pale ocean]

Ayo?

[hallow shadow]

But right now, I’m just trying not to lose my mind without it.

[weary hedge]

Get you a backwood or sum to get by

[hallow shadow]

It’s my literal pain medication, without a prescription.

[pale ocean]

Bro I felt that spiritually.

I just got a Q for $35...

[hallow shadow]

I already paid up on my bills.
I have 2.53 in my account.
Brother. I’ll be smoking next month.

[weary hedge]

Damn you already cashed tf out.

[pale ocean]

Brrooooooo. I wish I could give you some through my computer screen.

[hallow shadow]

Stagnant wages amidst soaring profits will do that to a man.

[hallow shadow]

For 35?!

[pale ocean]

Turns out, everyone on the server smokes weed. F*** yeah fellas.

[weary hedge]

It’s the green zone up in this b*tch

[pale ocean]

Yeah, street weed in Jersey is real cheap when you buy it in bulk.

[hallow shadow]

Dang.

I’m jealous.

[pale ocean]

Dispos also don't do bulk a lot of the time.

[hallow shadow]

Which is a damn shame.

[weary hedge]

Always the best route to go. Plus you can get deals

[pale ocean]

MmmHmm.

[pale ocean]

You can sometimes get a Q of shake but...that's shake.

[weary hedge]

One thing I just can’t touch tho is carts. Fk all that bruh

[pale ocean]

I love carts. Hit like a train.

[weary hedge]

Penjamin city is not where I belong

Keeping it all natruallll

[hallow shadow]

I’ll take a cart.

[ebon blade]

Please try not to discuss drugs or their usage. It's against the stated rules. thanks.

[pale ocean]

Carts, however, can get REAL pricey.

[hallow shadow]

Shucks.

[pale ocean]

Okay, I'm done.

[weary hedge]

But freedom does it

[hallow shadow]

We got got.

[pale ocean]

Sorry m8.

[weary hedge]

I’m just role playing

[hallow shadow]

I was gonna say, Army man.

[ebon blade]

Personally I don't care. I'm just obligated to remind you.

[weary hedge]

They don’t test for shit in my division 😆

[pale ocean]

But like...it's legal where I am. Like fully.

I was kidding btw.

I'll stop.

[weary hedge]

Discord rules unfortunately nothing to do with stalker. Just making jokes

[ebon blade]

Yeah, but this just isn't any ordinary Discord Server.
This Server belongs to GSC Game World, and it represents
their company and as such, has specific rules about behavior.

[pale ocean]

True.

[hallow shadow]

We play by Ukrainian rules, here.

[weary hedge]

[hallow shadow]

Glory to Ukraine

[ebon blade]

We can make jokes about drug usage, as related to the game, the Freedom Faction, drugs we use in the game. That sort of thing.

[pale ocean]

Slava Ukrani.

I need more stalker 2 content. I’ve got nothing left

I'm right here m8...

[weary hedge]

Anarchist😡

[wooden walrus]

man, and I thought the controllers were bad in 2

in radiophobia not only you get the a-hole zoom in spam, they also make you drop your weapon. constantly

[pale ocean]

"Strelogs" 😂

[wooden walrus]

like, drop your weapon, pick it up, drop it again, pick it up, drop it

[weary hedge]

“Get out of here stalker.” Will always be one of my favorite lines😂

[wooden walrus]

it's a shame because minus the sweaty tryhard stuff radiophobia is really really good

[weary hedge]

Bro had unnecessary beef with us

[pale ocean]

Is that a new gamma mod?

[wooden walrus]

no, radiophobia is a standalone SoC mod

[pale ocean]

o.O

[wooden walrus]

I'm trying anomaly mods now, gamma ain't cutting it, want to try this anomaly custom one

[pale ocean]

There's another one?!

[timber vortex]

The worst controller is the first one u encounter in shadow of Chernobyl, not because of the effectiveness of him, but because of turning blue pants into brown pants, I was only a kid back then...🥲

[wooden walrus]

anomaly (and gamma by extension) are standalone CoP iirc, radiophobia has just the vanilla story from CoP (with additions)

[weary hedge]

Brown pants ??

[pale ocean]

Yeah but now there's one for SoC?

[wooden walrus]

it uses OGSR as a base (old good stalker revolution), which is a standalone fork of OGSE

[timber vortex]

Yeah man

[pale ocean]

I'm just barely scratching the surface of Anomaly proper.

[wooden walrus]

I kinda want to try anomaly, gamma is way way too much (also I can't get around this stupid screen tearing)

[pale ocean]

Huh? I think my brain just melted.

[wooden walrus]

I want to try this anomaly custom mod but can't find a way to change the language to english lol

[hallow shadow]

“Is the Zone more than you bargained for, yet?

-Zone Out Boy

[pale ocean]

Wait but I thought gamma was a modpack for Anomaly?

[wooden walrus]

like, I would like to try just vanilla anomaly but I kinda want it to look good

[timber vortex]

Don't man... just learn Ukrainian way easier

[wooden walrus]

there's this expedition 2.3 mod that actually does look very nice and apparently it's mostly just graphical stuff?

[weary hedge]

You pooped yourself?

[pale ocean]

Honestly in game it does look pretty good. The lighting is superb.

[timber vortex]

Yeah, completely.

It was like a anomaly

[regal sinew]

You only really need the screen space shaders mod for that.

[winged cobalt]

what

[weary hedge]

Did it stinky

[pale ocean]

What is even happening?

[weary hedge]

Yes

[timber vortex]

It was looking like Rostok bathrooms

[wooden walrus]

SSS and that's it? Nothing like the absolutes, or atmosfear, or that endless npc mod?

[weary hedge]

OŒĞÏBÖŐGÏĘ

[wooden walrus]

I'm kinda coming in from CoP modding so idk if any of those apply to anomaly

[weary hedge]

So ur the one who’s been smearing caca on the walls

[timber vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/mask-colorful-changing-color-party-gif-16788645

[regal sinew]

I mean, depends on how much you want to mod it, you were saying about vanilla just improved graphics, that’s all SSS does really. But yeah man could do with some vegetation texture overhauls like the Rotten Summer one but they can be quite taxing on the hardware once they all add up.

[wooden walrus]

yeah saw that rotten mod too, looks really nice

[weary hedge]

I’m gonna fart in ur gas mask bro

[timber vortex]

Heyo

I've done that before

[weary hedge]

Let’s put those filters to test

[hallow shadow]

Just rub some CS tablets inside it.

[wooden walrus]

This anomaly custom mod looks really really really nice but it apparently also goes into tryhard difficulty territory, if I don't like it I'll try this expedition 2.3 one

[weary hedge]

Tf you mean by that?

[pale ocean]

These two entirely separate interations are...WILD.

[wooden walrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxSjYjxu9jQ&t
(it looks really really really nice)

[pale ocean]

Just watching this unfold.

[regal sinew]

Yeah anomaly custom is really good. But I’m into that hardcore shiz. It can be hard.

[wooden walrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNOp3EnWNAM
(and expedition 2.3 is bbbbonkers)

[weary hedge]

This guy defecates in a gas mask and suffocates himself ???

[wooden walrus]

yeah idk, gama wasn't particularly hard, just... confusing and frustrating and I couldn't figure out the tearing, otherwise I'd spend a few hours trying to figure it out

[timber vortex]

You see, you just need to put the tube in there

[weary hedge]

Smart. Why didn’t I think of this

[regal sinew]

Forget the old classic ‘2 girls 1 cup’ this is the stalker version of ‘1 dude 1 mask’.

[shrewd needle]

You people got issues.

[weary hedge]

Oh hell no I didn’t need this resurfacing in my head bro?

[timber vortex]

I'm a loner, i either do that or die by something worse

[regal sinew]

Too much bloat tbh.

[timber vortex]

Yeah man welcome to the zone

[wooden walrus]

did seem that way but honestly I can't find much more in terms of modpacks outside of gamma and efp, maybe expedition and old world and then you start running into the fringe stuff

[weary hedge]

[hallow shadow]

Oh wow.
That’s someone I haven’t seen in the Zone.

Where is this?

[ebon blade]

To the west of the Malachite Repair Facility. Spark campfire gathering, near the double overhead pipeline.

[hallow shadow]

Dang. That’s literally the first black dude I’ve seen in the entire game.

Wait.
Quiet.

Second dude.

[ebon blade]

I've seen Black Loners and Ward in the Lesser Zone.
What I haven't seen is Black Duty or Freedom, yet.

I don't think I've seen a Black Bandit either.

[hallow shadow]

Shucks.
Being rare makes sense, though.

Only a white dude would simply walk into an Exclusion Zone

[inland coral]

You’ll have to be smarter than that.

[hallow shadow]

You sure do like behaving like one.

[hallow shadow]

Hm?

[inland coral]

Huh

[hallow shadow]

Poor quality bait.
Whoever trained you must suck.

[vapid galleon]

I like Stalker suits so much

Stalker suits doen't mean Stalker Faction suits, I mean suits in Stalker games

very good designed

[hallow shadow]

A lot of these suits are cool as hell.

My favorite is the PSZ-5V

[winged cobalt]

what did you just say

you mean the PSZ-5D. Right?

[hallow shadow]

Negative. The 5V.

Good ol Guardian of Freedom.

One of the best early game suits there is, and it’s even nice and sporty with teal camouflage.

More like baby-puke green.
But hey. Spark has never really been known for having all their marbles.

[winged cobalt]

im playing anomaly rn and kino's playing on the radio, its raining and it's evening time, beautiful

[fervent robin]

Hello

[hallow shadow]

Oh dang.
Good ol Article 5.

I think I have a Non-Article 5 NATO ribbon, somewhere.
I’d have to go drag my dress top out of the box.

[hallow shadow]

Is Anomaly the big mod thing?

[tame forge]

Felt a similar thing during stalker 2, was in red forest, fighting a storm of zombies in a bunker, whilst hej sokoly was playing in the background. surreal experience

[winged cobalt]

yeah that one

[winged cobalt]

but i was sitting by the campfire with other stalkers 😭

so i put some red tape on my mp5's mag cause why not it looks nice

[tame forge]

i think he meant gamma

[winged cobalt]

oh no not gamma, anomaly

[tame forge]

because "big mod thing" sounds more like that he was asking for gamma or efp

[oak junco]

bandits by a mile

[untold cloud]

well you can get easily killed by plotting against your leader even if you are only being suspected of it

Meanwhile in Noontide you have so much freedom that Strider doesn't stop you when you take half of his men

[oak junco]

Ah fair counterpoint there

[tame forge]

But is noontide truly free, ||since they end up under the control of the monolith||?

[untold cloud]

||But then they are not Noontide anymore ^^"||

[white chasm]

It is like not counting Kraków as part of Poland to lower the smog levels

but I agree

[tame forge]

I'd say that noontide is the most and least free faction at the same time, so it is tough to say.

[wanton blaze]

Anyone else wish we could use a Boomstick in the pistol slot like we can for the MAC-10?

[white chasm]

you can't!?

Well that's a poor designer choice

[wanton blaze]

Nope. Mods only allow it

[tame forge]

yeah man, it would be nice

[untold cloud]

this is just wrong, I always considered Boomstick an valuable option as an backup gun

[primal nimbus]

Mercs

[untold cloud]

Like I can imagine myself in the Zone getting directly attacked by an mutant, and I am out of ammo. Then I pull the boomstick as backup gun and feed that Snork with pellets

[untold cloud]

Loners

[wanton blaze]

Loners hit that true neutral to me. They dont have an allegiance except for their personal beliefs.

Personally I fall between Freedom and Spark. The Zone is a living thing, and she shouldn't be shackled to anyone. We should move to live with her, and not against her.

[untold cloud]

In the Zone full of mutants it would be logical to have sawn off as your backup gun, because you can't escape an mutant when it jumps on you, but you can take cover and reload your gun when fighting humans

[winged cobalt]

Hello There

[winged cobalt]

what you guys up to?

[vapid galleon]

I wanna start Anomaly so much, but my next game is The Beast which will be release tomorrow. Do you recommend Anomaly?

[winged cobalt]

It's a stalker based game after all, it's 50/50 in some situations but i do recommend playing all the games before anomaly and all that stuff, Yes

[deep shale]

do you guys think the patch drops today ?

[smoky hawk]

no

[vapid galleon]

why?

[smoky hawk]

subpar freeplay mod with bad added mechanics that is outdone by what it was based on forks of its predecessors

[vapid galleon]

but Anomaly's variety better than Stalker 2 ???

[smoky hawk]

what do you mean by variety

[vapid galleon]

diversity, more guns, more eat items, more heal items

more anomalys, more mutants

[smoky hawk]

yes, these are all trickle down things from Call of Misery and Last Day
you can get a way better experience from base Call of Chernobyl with a weapon pack or Call of the Zone

Anomaly is based on Last Day
Last Day is based on Call of Misery
Call of Misery is based on Call of Chernobyl
Call of Chernobyl is the progenitor of Anomaly, but Anomaly is worse than it

[vapid galleon]

thanks for the information. So what do you recommend I play instead of Anomaly?

[smoky hawk]

Call of the Zone, it dinamizes and makes the freeplay of COC better plus it still has a modding community of it's own that is quite active

[vapid galleon]

what about graphics

[smoky hawk]

same graphics as COC

roughly on equal with anomaly without any visual mods

[vapid galleon]

alright thx

[crude abyss]

COME TO ME

[hardy totem]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-man-no-man-no-gif-7347715096894588969

[vapid galleon]

[visual mortar]

if you say so

[narrow wraith]

hey, how can i talk directly to a GSC admin?

[hardy totem]

For what purpose?

[narrow wraith]

https://game-legends.de/ stole my 402 euro for preordering stalker 2 ultimae phisical edition pc / and i sending emails to gsc and game-legends.de but nobody answering to me, i also contacted officital european union consumer protection, but no answer
i have proof of purchase and payment
my bank also not doing cashback on my credit card
paypal also not helping

so i payed for this package, and got nothing : STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl Ultimate Edition

the payment was made on 30 Oct 2024

[hardy totem]

Second wave physical preorders were delayed till february(?) 2026

[narrow wraith]

but i have no official answer from anybody! this is in itself disobeying costumer protection laws!

[hardy totem]

There was a period where they allowed refunds, but that's long since expired

[narrow wraith]

ive sent dosens of emails

so i want somebody do guarante me that ima get this on february 8, or i sue game-legends with a lawer

others are robbed also:

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1khnsye/still_no_refund_from_game_legends_for_the/

[charred nova]

They offered you a refund you just missed the email likely

When the announcement was made for the delay

[narrow wraith]

are you a coworket at GSC?

[charred nova]

Gsc can’t do anything for you

This is a supplier issue

But I know because I was there when the delay happened

[narrow wraith]

i want to talk to a gsc coworker, who is here from gsc?

[meager crag]

This tho fr

[charred nova]

There’s literally nothing gsc can do

This is not in their hands

Should have gotten an email like this

[narrow wraith]

if you not gsc then it not your jurisdiction

[charred nova]

Gsc has told us specifically it’s out of their hands

[meager crag]

Nor is it GSC's

[charred nova]

If you really feel your being wronged you can send a legal notice to the retailer or try and charge back your credit card

[narrow wraith]

i want to talk to a gsc person! i am not arguing to fellow stalker fans! please

[charred nova]

Gsc can’t give you a different answer

Because they can’t help you

[meager crag]

Bro

[compact pier]

They already answered its several times.
Here we have only community managers.
Everything depends by supplier, not gsc.
We have same issues in UA too

So its not related to your local shop

[narrow wraith]

game legends is responsible for whole europe

[charred nova]

That is the official gsc response

If you feel you have been scammed

Take it up with gamers legends

[lofty dew]

SUE GSC DOWN WITH STALKER

[charred nova]

Gsc can’t do anything about it

[lofty dew]

GSC IS A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION NOW

[meager crag]

Topkek

[lofty dew]

isn’t that that turkish like snack

[charred nova]

But I strongly believe you received and email about it and simply missed it

[lofty dew]

the small cakes with chocolate coating on the opposite sides and banana flavored bread

[meager crag]

It's funny, that's what it is

[charred nova]

But if the Reddit is to be believed

This is entirely a gamers legends issue

[narrow wraith]

these doesnt invalidate my basic principles that i shall get answers for my emails

[charred nova]

To gsc?

How many times do I have to tell you gsc has nothing to do with this

[narrow wraith]

basically to anybody, but yes, to gsc and gamelegends also

[meager crag]

Or to the store you bought it from?

[charred nova]

Gsc doesn’t have your money

Gamers legends does

[meager crag]

Yeah, best bet is emailing them

This is for a refund request, right?

[charred nova]

They aren’t processing the refund

[meager crag]

Funky

[charred nova]

But if you didn’t try and get a refund with in the 14 day period I think what ever legal grounds you think you have are null and void

[narrow wraith]

what i think: february 28 comes, and i will never get the package what i prepaid
because they already not answering my mails, this means i am robbed now
also i cant have a 100% reassurance that my prepaid preorder is in safe hands

[compact pier]

Same stuff for those who in ua

Who wasn't lucky enough to have their physical edition

[charred nova]

Well unfortunately gsc literally can’t do anything about this

You can’t attempt likely frivolous legal action against gamers legends if you want

But the ball is entirely in their court to respond

Gsc can’t force them to do anything

[narrow wraith]

but i want to hear this from dsc, directly

[charred nova]

i literally showed it to you

[charred nova]

.

[compact pier]

You can try to send a private message to some community manager, but jack already send their answer

So there's nothing new info for you

But still it's your possibility, just a wasted time in result

[narrow wraith]

but if they write this down to me directly to me, i can attach this to Consumer protection agency against gamelegends.de

[charred nova]

they aren't gonna do that

[compact pier]

Which will have what jurisdiction?
Just curious

[narrow wraith]

PLEASE stop, you andwering in the name of other persons, just stop

[charred nova]

that is literally my job

[narrow wraith]

are you employed by gsc with payment?

[charred nova]

no

but to entertain the possibility let me ask again

[kindred tundra]

My savegames just got lost. For the second time. First time after 16 hours, now I started new game and came to the Faust boss battle. Savegames corrupted, can't be loaded. I very much dislike the game and the developers. I will leave a 1 star review on all platforms.

[narrow wraith]

again: Please refrain from speaking on behalf of GSC. Also, I kindly ask you to stop exhibiting learned helplessness behavior — it's neither constructive nor appropriate in this context.

[charred nova]

you want something we can not provide idk what you expect

[narrow wraith]

i want help to contact directly a gsc employee - this is literally how i started - if you cant help, then my messages is not four you - respectfully naturally

[charred nova]

you need gamers legends not gsc

[visual mortar]

it should be arriving February - April 2026

you're okay buddy dont worry

im waiting for mine too

well i got mine from final boss bundle

[charred nova]

i asked mol1t to comment on the situation but idk if or when he will respond

hes a busy guy

[visual mortar]

he's MY guy

[charred nova]

true

mol1t is our bro

👊

[visual mortar]

no MINE

[hardy totem]

Now now, be nice and share the community manager: )

[visual mortar]

they should make a stalker dlc in the middle east

[meager crag]

He's my mom

[potent knot]

HUH 😭

"Dont do what you exist here to do"
I am dead

[meager crag]

My condolences bro

[weary hedge]

I want to speak to ur manager type shit

[charred nova]

if i was paid then maybe he would listen

[visual mortar]

Nerf ram 2

[rustic pebble]

I saw someone upset about the physical edition stuff and I kinda get 'em. It kinda hurts having to wait this long. But given the recent news of the delays, I sent two questions to GSC on here which I hope get answered in some capacity: 1. Will we be getting priority in this reprinted Collector's? I mean the people that preordered the Ultimate Edition and such reprints all the way back in '24, or so? Is there any guarantee, unlike what was mentioned last time, that each editions gets both the steelbooks mentioned AND the right art work on them?

And more importantly, as this was a bit of a discovery, since our editions will come out along with these new Collector's, will the Artifact Lamp be the 2.0 one, with sounds and an on/off switch? Or the old one, featuring none of that, but apparently holes in the bottom FOR these upgrades? Just some stuff that would be nice to have clarified.

[charred nova]

apparently it was changed and all reprints should contain the steel book

[rustic pebble]

That's great, since last time both Plaion and GSC weren't sure of the possibility of steelbooks, or the right art for each edition on 'em!

It did kinda sound from an email a few months ago that it was the case, but I got a further reply that sounded confused, lol.

[charred nova]

as for the guys complaint about the refunds i did a quick look and well

i brought it up to gsc

apparently people are needing to threaten to take legeal action

to get their money in some cases

[rustic pebble]

That sucks, tbh.

[charred nova]

which is uh.....

not good.......

maybe games legends is falling on hard times idk

[rustic pebble]

At lest if you're in the EU, there's tons of consumer protection. I'm a patient gamer. Waiting for more updates, for more optimisation and don't mind waiting some more, as long as it comes out GOOD.

The CE, I mean.

[weary hedge]

They need their Ali baba toys and steel garbage to collect dust

[rustic pebble]

I've seen an unboxing or two at the time of release and was shocked that the quality of everything seems good.

[charred nova]

well they need their money back

to spend it on v bux instead

and the stop gooning hat of course

[weary hedge]

Now that’s a real investment

[rustic pebble]

But I do really hope the Artifact Container Lamp is the 2.0 one, since it's a net improvement over the initial CE release.

[compact pier]

@narrow wraith I guess we owe some apologies.
From our perspective it looks like a complain(which is common for those , who have delay for their stuff)
We pinged CM before deeper look and it looks like it makes more sense even now

[rustic pebble]

Or buying vehicle packs from the snail in WT. I thought I was bad, but I have some self-control. I met a great guy that plays it who sadly... genuinely, medically has poor impulse control. Trying to talk people out of making dumb purchases is hard, even though you're not clean yourself. 😛

[charred nova]

he bought the e100 for 2k dollars didn't he

[rustic pebble]

He's not THAT bad... yet.

But he sees a pack in the store... or on the news... "I'm gonna buy the T58". Brother, please, we don't even have the vehicle ingame yet.

[charred nova]

id rather buy real vehicles instead

[rustic pebble]

Again, I'm not perfect. I bought the nice WW2 packs. And the worst case was buying the Japanese F-2A, since it had historical decals attaches.

[charred nova]

THOSE TITANIUM RODS WONT BUY THEM SELVES

[rustic pebble]

Lmao

[weary hedge]

Gotta get that credit up🗣️

[charred nova]

fr

well nah

you buy em on fb market place

in cash of course

[weary hedge]

Missing out on credit

[charred nova]

im not getting credit for a 1988 subaru xt6

I FUCKEN WANT ONE MAN

THEY'RE SO COOL

[weary hedge]

You can get credit for anything 😆

[rustic pebble]

Me but with that mid-90's BMW with the pop-up headlights. Or that Japanese one from the 80's with the insanely cool dashboard that was mostly a US-only feature

[charred nova]

they are insanely rare in good condition

[rustic pebble]

Yeah, I kinda fw that

[charred nova]

literal lemon cars

but if you can find one

they are effectively worthless so

you can get a semi good one for like 3k

[fickle hill]

I was just driving to work yesterday and I saw a priest 6 seater

[charred nova]

a who

[fickle hill]

A 6 seater with 3 doors on both sides

[charred nova]

oh

that sounds goofy as hell

[rustic pebble]

Nissan 300ZX for me. That dashboard is dreamy.

[fickle hill]

I tend to see very angry looking jeeps

[charred nova]

that car has a similiar dash actually

[rustic pebble]

Goddamn, you're right, that's not bad at all!

[charred nova]

only on the turbo 4 cylinder model though

but you can transplant it into a flat 6 model

[rustic pebble]

The Nissan dooooes have a sexier design, though...

[charred nova]

its pretty space age ill give you that

[rustic pebble]

I also kinda fw the mid 90's E31 from BMW

Pop-up headlights and VERY advanced for its time

[charred nova]

it has volume controls

on wheel

which is fucken wild

[rustic pebble]

Yeah, the dasbhoard is my obsession.

[charred nova]

those cars don't cost much at all but

the parts cost a million bux

cus its a Nissan

[rustic pebble]

But if you look up EU variants, it had boring analog dials instead.

[charred nova]

nah it can have the digital dash

it was an option

only some of them have it

[rustic pebble]

Btw, I looked it up a few months ago via AI and what you're saying is only true for the US. The cars we're discussing are generally x2-x3 more expensive in Europe. I WISH we had US prices, that way I would be able to afford one of these cars. :B

[rustic pebble]

I can believe that, tbh

[charred nova]

like if i go on fbm right now

only like 1 in 5 of those cars

have the digital dash

if only nissan cars had affordable parts

[rustic pebble]

Also, apparently the wiring is poor. Saw one of these, super-expensive, since the dash is mega-rare in Europe, being sold by a bloke in Germany. Bought it from the US, got it here, had to re-wire the dash and do some general fixces.

[charred nova]

also as per usual the best engine config this car had was jdm only

which was a rb20

[rustic pebble]

Those are most definitely letters and numbers, I agree! 😄

[charred nova]

its a dual overhead cam inline 6 2 liter

it had twin turbos

[tough remnant]

When will these be sold by the car sales guy in Stalker 2? Surely not 1.6, have to wait for the engine update to handle the performance of such an addition

[charred nova]

wait i lied

it ionly had one turbo

[charred nova]

please install stronger pistons and rods to prepair for the update

that will be 4k dollars please

[weary hedge]

Deez nuts

[tough remnant]

Does it come with Thermal Goggles and Painfully Realistic Damage multipliers?

[charred nova]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yah

[tough remnant]

"Slaps back of Subaru"

This bad boy can seat 5 cheeki breekis, its got holders for vodka and our 74u's and sawnoffs fit snug on our laps, and thats excluding the guy sidrovich paid us to extort for starting his own car sales buisness in the zone, he fits in the conveniant boot. Or as I like to call it, the artifact container.

Sure he was gonna be the first car dealer in the zone but there is only one salesman here in the cordon

[void coral]

1.6 when

[hallow shadow]

This week.

[void coral]

thank god

finally we get NVGs

[buoyant trellis]

Only if the tests are goods

[hallow shadow]

Forgot that part.
This week, if GSC passes the testing phase.

But if it is already said to come out. I think it may have already passed?

[void coral]

Also I noticed they deleted 7.62x39 ammo

So it's all 7.62x54. And I find the idea of the Dnirpo, a bullpup, firing those bullets very amusing for some reason

[gusty hearth]

Can someone on make me some cool footage of stalker 2 to edit????

It’s my new hobby

[hallow shadow]

It makes sense.

So, Dnipro was the only weapon that took it… If I remember correctly.

So, the Dnipro got converted to 54r, and now, x39 is just free Koupons baby.

[tough remnant]

Yea its funny in implementing the edit to have the mg make sense they made the dnipro upgrade have the same issue

I hope they do come out with a 7.62 Ak and the rpd in a future update or dlc, it would be pretty fun

[wispy jasper]

Has stalker 2 implemented good gore or will they ever?

I just heard the gore was not the best which seems weird for this type of game.

[gusty hearth]

There is a good mod for it

[tough remnant]

dismemberment has never been a thing

[hallow shadow]

There’s a mod for that, and stalker ain’t that kinda game.

[wispy jasper]

Dismemberment is the least of my worries

[tough remnant]

not in vanilla

[wispy jasper]

I would jist like some good bullet holes and blood pools

[hallow shadow]

You get a gratuitous “squish” when you done someone.
But that’s it.

[hallow shadow]

Play Halo:CE, melee corpses

[void coral]

on the note of ammo, do we have stats for what the various ammo types do? (like how much extra damage does Expander ammo do, and how much extra penetration does AP ammo provide?)

[tough remnant]

pretty sure theres vids on that on yt

[void coral]

me no find

[tough remnant]

guns have been that unbalanced tbh I never bothered to look

[hallow shadow]

Are you modded?

Depending your mods, those damage numbers will be different, anyway.

[void coral]

neg

[hallow shadow]

Vanilla weapon damage is ass, though.

So I couldn’t really help.

[tough remnant]

9x18 submachine gun one with ap rounds a suppressor and red dot bangin dudes in exos like its a 308

[hallow shadow]

I be loving my Better Ballistics version of Clusterfunk.
That’s my .308 workhorse.

No offense to the EMR.

[tough remnant]

Wait what?

[hallow shadow]

Yep.
With Better Ballistics, the Cluster drops, stock chambered in .308

[tough remnant]

Dam thats hot

[shell flax]

Better ballistics essentially turns Clusterfuck into a 417

[hallow shadow]

It really is.

Dropping Beard and Sultan was never so easy.

[shell flax]

I’m using OXA on PC so I’m running a custom built G36, a Ram-2 and Gambit

[hallow shadow]

Ohhhhh. That’s kinda neat.

Does OXA have progress-gated damage tiers?

[shell flax]

No. Only thing progress gated is the techs selling weapon parts

[tough remnant]

Id love to rock a Scar H or something like that

I absolutely love the joke about 5.56 in the fanmade stalker movie

[hallow shadow]

Cause like… I like BB, but i also would like to check out other mods.

Cause OXA sounds cool as hell, but I don’t wanna make a G36 that I’ll just replace with something “optimal”.

[wispy jasper]

You guys think i ahoulf get stalker 1? I juet want a first person game with a living world and survival mechanics. Stalker seems like the best.

[shell flax]

The Malyuk in OXA can be rechambered in three different calibers
5.45
5.56
7.62x39

[hallow shadow]

You haven’t played it?

[wispy jasper]

I heard stalker 2 ai is not always there in the world

No i havent

[hallow shadow]

Stalker is not really “open world”, and the survival mechanics are “Run!”

[shell flax]

The OXA coming to console iirc will let you attach more attachments to different guns

[hallow shadow]

I need that, so bad.

The fact I can’t slap a red dot on my AKS brings me to my knees. Every time.

[wispy jasper]

I kinda want a game like project zomboid but with humans and first person

[tough remnant]

Yea the dnipro in 7.62 is a beast even in vanilla as it should be but now its some eldritch horror firing 54r like the ak in clear sky

[shell flax]

Pipe bomb gun

[tough remnant]

yea fr

[hallow shadow]

I have a Dnipro, and haven’t been through SIRCAA, yet.
So I don’t have the 7.62 upgrade.
With better Ballistics, this 5.45 Dnipro absolutely shreds.

[shell flax]

Dnipro dominates in vanilla too

Fitting, since it’s a Ukrainian gun

[hallow shadow]

Glory to Ukraine.
The good ol Malyuk.

[tough remnant]

Indeed

[hallow shadow]

The Dnipro kicks, but she’s worthy.

I prefer the 45rnd mag, to the duo-stack.

[shell flax]

I think the funniest thing with the guns in game though is:
the foregrip on the Fora doesn’t remove the railcover

[hallow shadow]

Slap a 2x Scope, and a suppressor on it.
Bam.
Untouchable.

Fora goes hard, for an early game weapon.

If you get lucky enough for one to drop, early enough.
Fora is great vanilla early game. Even Better Ballistics.

[shell flax]

There’s one guaranteed in a crate in Yaniv

[hallow shadow]

Hell yeah.

[tough remnant]

I love how Tavor has a 308 model

[shell flax]

Also the OXA Malyuk can use the Groza Drum lmao

[hallow shadow]

That sounds awesome.

I wanna .308 Tavor

[shell flax]

Tavor 7

[tough remnant]

Tavor 7

jinx

[shell flax]

2k irl so not too bad for a .308 rifle

[hallow shadow]

Dang. I be cheap, and buy parts at a time.
Took me forever to build my .300 and 6.8 ARs

[shell flax]

Makarov is like, three hundred or something off aim surplus

[tough remnant]

Yea alongside the MDR too of my favorite high caliber bullpups...

Other than a certain 12.7mm id love to see in Stalker 2

[hallow shadow]

Oh, I’m not a “collector”
I only have a handful of guns.

Who makes the MDR?

[shell flax]

Desert Tech

[hallow shadow]

I use that shit in GR:Wildlands all the time.

[tough remnant]

Yep

that and insurgency

feckin monster

[hallow shadow]

I’m a G36/Honey Badger guy in Insurgency.

[tough remnant]

Honey badgers cool but the AS VAL did it first

[hallow shadow]

I want a Honey Badger in the Zone so bad.

[shell flax]

Tavor 7, AK Alpha

[hallow shadow]

And they wouldn’t even have to make a new ammo type.
Just make it .308

[shell flax]

Which I genuinely might build the second irl one day

[weary hedge]

Finally copped helldivers @hallow shadow time to fight the good fight

[shell flax]

After I get some money saved, get a PSA Ak with no furniture buy the stuff from Midwest

[hallow shadow]

Not knowing where to find a full on Badger is why I have a .300 AR

[shell flax]

Check some FFL websites, the one near me has one you can order to the shop

[tough remnant]

I love how the new aug takes a front swap and can fire 300.

[hallow shadow]

.300 is a great round, when you know what it’s actually for.

[tough remnant]

The ATRAX

Showed my buddy when he joined the adf

[hallow shadow]

ADF?

[tough remnant]

Australian Defense Force

[hallow shadow]

Ahhhh

[tough remnant]

Im not a member just like firearms

[hallow shadow]

I met a few Aussies in Kandahar.

[tough remnant]

Ha my buddies a lucky bugger hes a techie in the navy

[hallow shadow]

I wish we had a 5.56 LMG

Like a SAW.

[tough remnant]

I do know a fella in the US who took a richochet in Kabul

[hallow shadow]

Ouchies.

[tough remnant]

he got new vegased, tucked under his helmet

[hallow shadow]

Ouchies

[tough remnant]

made it out with minor damage, but it was brain affecting so he got honorably discharged and went to work in a mill. Had a kid recently what a unit

[hallow shadow]

Dang.

[tough remnant]

Yea fr

I feel like Stalker 2 has ok gun variety but it could of had ALOT more

if exos worked more like a realistic power armour from fo4 too it would REALLY justify some heavier weaponry alongside some reasonably tougher mutant variety

[hallow shadow]

The gin variety, as it is, would t be so bad if the damage wasn’t “tiered”.

In all honesty, I can put down someone just as fast with a SOFMOD as a Dnipro.

The “damage” between those bullets really isn’t too much of a disparity.

[tough remnant]

nah but it would justify the game having higher calibres

[hallow shadow]

Better Ballistics helps.
Damage is based on caliber, barrel length, and ammo type.

[tough remnant]

308/7.62 being intermediate

I wouldnt mind a 50 bmg or a 12.x55 bullpup for mutants and exos

[hallow shadow]

A higher caliber helps, but is also contextual.
Bigger isn’t always better.
Vanilla S2 would have you believe that anything chambered in 5.56 is useless.
Which isn’t the case.

They’d have you believe a 5.45 AK is useless. Which is also false.

[tough remnant]

nah

i was quite suprised to see ballistic test on 5.45

thats some gnarly expansion

[hallow shadow]

The a Romanians on my FOB had 5.45 AKs, and those dudes could put the hurt on opposing forces.

[tough remnant]

its not really the expansion I guess more the tumbling causing a larger cavity

[hallow shadow]

The actual projectile is goofy and massive.. Yeah.

[tough remnant]

its not breaking apart just flippin sideways

not very kocher

[visual mortar]

anyone else going to junguscon

[hallow shadow]

What the hell is a Chunguscon?

Lemme google dat shit.

[tough remnant]

There was a fella I knew briefly in the national guard in alabama that got to go to romania and do some wacky stuff there training with them?

He got photos and footage of him firing romanian dongs and dshkas

[hallow shadow]

The Romanians were so effing cool.
I love Eastern Europeans, man.
If they have a Cyrillic language, they are friends.

I never got to do any cool training.
But after deployment, my buddy Gavrilut had me come visit, and took me to Transylvania.

I have a German shooting medal, qualified on some German guns.

But ain’t never had a chance for Romanian guns.

[tough remnant]

Yea the aforementioned naval friend of mine and I where gonna do the trans siberian line to vladivostok... then some stuff went down and aus military personnel were not safe to travel there

[hallow shadow]

Shucks.

[tough remnant]

yep

[hallow shadow]

I’m sorry.
That shit would’ve been fun.

I almost got nerfed, playing Russian poker in a Czech club.

Europe is just wild.

Florida wishes.

[tough remnant]

Oof

Still plan on one day travelling around

I watch alot of european content creators, mainly urbexers

one did a bicycle journey of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Wow

beautiful and deeply scarred places

[hallow shadow]

I was in Kosovo a few months.
Yes, beautiful and tragic.
Americans don’t know civil unrest until they see what’s going on over in other places.

[tough remnant]

ha they sure wanna find out though 😅

[hallow shadow]

Yeah, they think they do.

Half the people calling for civil war wouldn’t even pass an Entry Physical, they’re so effing fat.

[tough remnant]

HAHAHA

yea and the other half live off kale and diet frappachinos

[hallow shadow]

I live in Coastal Georgia.
I’m on the water, an hour north of Jacksonville

These folks couldn’t make it. They’ve got gravy in their veins, and red-faced alcoholics. Everywhere.

Our “tough guys” are just angry marshmallows.

I was in Germany, during the Syrian Refugee Crisis.

Europe truly gets shit on, like all the time.

[tough remnant]

yea fr

Ross kemp on gangs and extreme worlds, my introduction to europes oddities and differences

I love Europe.
“If you like it so much, the move there.”
If it weren’t so expensive, I would absolutely renounce citizenship, and move to Germany or S. Korea.

[hallow shadow]

Same with the Germans. I watched some World Cup game? Germany vs Italy?
2016?17?

Absolutely wild time.

[tough remnant]

I know not much of south korea save for how they put hits out on that racist troll youtuber

[hallow shadow]

I don’t know what that is.

[obtuse veldt]

Hmm, not showing either korshunov or Scar the monolith PDA should lead to another ending??

[hallow shadow]

But Korea is a wonderful place, once you begin to understand.

[obtuse veldt]

hmmm, perhaps its for a DLC route

[hallow shadow]

Really? I can hide it from both of them?

[visual mortar]

they should have a dlc that takes place in the middle east

[tough remnant]

Jhonny somali if you dont know dont look him up, your lifes better not knowing

[hallow shadow]

I never show Scar. Crazy old fart.

[tough remnant]

bro what

[hallow shadow]

I don’t watch YouTubers.
I didn’t even know who asmongold was until one of the mods made a joke about

[visual mortar]

make the localization entirely in Arabic

[hallow shadow]

Why? The Zone, Ukraine, are not middle eastern.

[visual mortar]

idk maybe like an anomaly teleported a guy there

[hallow shadow]

Then let it be somewhere cool, in the Middle East.
Like a coastal Indian city, or Pakistan.

[tough remnant]

Thats horrifying

[hallow shadow]

Lots of history and culture.

[visual mortar]

"cool"

"india"

you cant contradict yourself

[hallow shadow]

For sure.
I’d shit a brick if I was in the Zone one moment, and woke up in Karachi the next.

I’d rather go Northern Europe.

[weary hedge]

I love my middle easterns and their ecosystem. It would certainly be a journey lol.

[obtuse veldt]

Id rather want one on Mexico

[hallow shadow]

Except the UK.

Maybe we can make an Area 51

[tough remnant]

yea I hope its gonna have the vibe of the dried sea in metro exodus

[weary hedge]

Instead of bandits it’s just the cartel 😆

[hallow shadow]

MAKE ON IN FLORIDA

[obtuse veldt]

Yep!!

[visual mortar]

Oye acosadora, agárrame un artefacto

[weary hedge]

That would also be fun

[obtuse veldt]

Imagine all the profanities, and brutality

[weary hedge]

They’d basically be as dangerous as the ward

[obtuse veldt]

"Ya mata a ese pendejo cabron, o te mato!"

yikes!!!!

Did you guys know that a certain type of alcohol doesn’t make you behave a certain way?
Those are learned behaviors.

[obtuse veldt]

Well, Beer and Tequila would be thing in a mexican zone

[hallow shadow]

Vodka doesn’t make you fight, and tequila doesn’t make you horny.
That’s not how alcohol works.

[obtuse veldt]

And with Laguna Verde being on the verge of a collapse

[visual mortar]

what

[obtuse veldt]

Could work as an another anomalous, radiated exclusion zone.

[weary hedge]

Alcohol turns me into a goblin 👺

[tough remnant]

its tequila

[hallow shadow]

Seriously. Look it up.

Tequila doesn’t make you horny. You just got laid, one time.
Vodka doesn’t make you angry, you just got in a fight, or were drinking in a bad mood.

Alcohol frees inhibitions, not introduces thoughts.
Tequila didn’t make you horny. You’re just easy.

[visual mortar]

in the new dlc they should have an elephant rifle

[visual mortar]

i don't think anyone claims that

[tough remnant]

alot of people do sadly

[hallow shadow]

You’ve never heard anyone say “Oh, I can’t drink X because it makes me do Y.”

It literally just loosens people up lol.

yeah I live under a rock for not socializing with alcoholics 🥀 🥀

[hallow shadow]

Awww. Poor baby thinks having a drink makes someone an alchy.

[visual mortar]

I'll do better next time im sorry father

[hallow shadow]

I couldn’t live with such shit misconceptions, and hoity toity

[visual mortar]

idk man you sound pretty alcoholic

[weary hedge]

He’s still sucking on mommy’s milk. Let him enjoy his bubble 😂

[hallow shadow]

Poor kid.

[visual mortar]

god forbid

[hallow shadow]

Yeah.

[weary hedge]

Yeah it’s alright tho. Most shit is better off unsee or experienced. Tho it builds character lol

[tough remnant]

He gonna drink two beers and go to aa the next day

[hallow shadow]

All I asked was if he’d ever heard a phrase.
Homie shot if with some holier than thou BS.

[visual mortar]

i guess I'm sheltered and ignorant for not wanting to drink 🥀

[visual mortar]

what

[weary hedge]

Not for not wanting to drink but giving an opinion you have little knowledge on

[visual mortar]

what opinion?? i just said "no i haven't heard anyone say that"

[weary hedge]

Then started throwing “alcoholism” around 😂

[hallow shadow]

Homie wouldn’t know what an alcoholic was, if his dad beat him every day.

[visual mortar]

what the hell is this claim

i just made a joke about not socializing with alcoholics because you claimed i lived under a rock

damn! i didn't know that hit so close to home for you I'm sorry

[hallow shadow]

Dude said “No, I’ve never heard that” just to be contrarian.

[visual mortar]

...?

[tough remnant]

No you said you are sheltered cause you dont hang out with alcoholics, it implies that anybody who drinks is an addict

Alcoholism is a very serious and real issue, its not the same as enjoying a drink every now and again

[visual mortar]

so i did offend you with that joke

[hallow shadow]

Like, where you from, Juice Boy? Aint no way you’ve never heard an American youth NOT say that.

[weary hedge]

Alcoholism ≠ someone who enjoys the luxury of the variety of drinks every now and then

[visual mortar]

no jokes allowed

[visual mortar]

what

[hallow shadow]

Did you ever go to high school? Or college?
Ever get a job?

You’ve never heard ANYONE, EVER? Say that silliness?

[visual mortar]

no i already answered that, why are you trying to belittle me

[hallow shadow]

Anyway.

Cossacks is alright brand.

[visual mortar]

and then get mad when i make an alcoholism joke

[hallow shadow]

Weird Water, though?
Straight Irradiated Absynthe

[hallow shadow]

I’m not mad at you. I think you’re stupid.
Big difference, kiddo.

[visual mortar]

for WHAT

[hallow shadow]

XD

[visual mortar]

lmao what

[wanton blaze]

Anyone else have the issue of 'Deceive the Deceiver' or 'A Big Score' just not appearing, no NPCs or hostage situation appearing

[visual mortar]

shoot them

[weary hedge]

Everyone just take a sip of magic vodka. We need to get rid of some of the psi rads going on in here

[hallow shadow]

Are those the Varan missions?
In my entirety of playing, I can never get Varan to populate

Unless working with Diode.

[tough remnant]

that didnt come off as a joke, your talking to strangers through typing with no real means of reading into your intent with the statement and its easily misread. So if you meant it as a joke it was not percieved that way, we dont know you and you technically just called anybody that drinks an alcoholic...

frankly idrc im just explaining to you why your getting told off

what you do with that infos up to you

frankly

[wanton blaze]

Its supposed to be Zakhar, but the dude leaves Slag, and I guess never makes it to the mission area.

[weary hedge]

Smart man

[hallow shadow]

Shucks.

I’m always looking for the Varan (Kingpin) missions. But he’s never there, on his throne.
Ever.

I have to manually hunt down Shah and Roosevelt.

[visual mortar]

so lets go back a bit .

he asked if i heard i phrase and I said no. but then i get insulted by saying i was living under a rock and "sucking on mommy's milk". but when I make a joke about alcoholism, thats too far apparently.

think about that logic for a second. why is it okay to insult me but no one else able to take it

[tough remnant]

because you said something that wasnt targeted at one individual but anybody who drinks?

[visual mortar]

not really no? i just said i don't associate with alcoholics

wasn't targeting anyone here

[tough remnant]

sighs

[obtuse veldt]

gotta be ready to upload bugs... again...

[visual mortar]

yawns

[obtuse veldt]

sigh

[tough remnant]

then go to bed, its past your naptime

[visual mortar]

also those insults weren't targeted to me?

not very fair logic I'd say

[weary hedge]

it’s just a joke bro

[visual mortar]

but my joke isnt though i guess

[wanton blaze]

Its annoying cause this is my 3rd run where the mission just doesnt appear

[tough remnant]

You know heres a wild thought!

If everybody stopped talking about the previous issues cause its a goofy argument no matter how its looked at, everybody stops arguing!

[visual mortar]

oh yes disregarding a topic the moment any opposition is presented

bro folded immediately

alright then carry on

[tough remnant]

oh my god people like you are insufferable

[weary hedge]

Guys stop being meanie heads to each other 😡

[visual mortar]

I'd argue the same

[visual mortar]

alright I'll call it here then

[weary hedge]

I was being sarcastic but yeah this is kinda dumb but it’s good to express feelings every now and then

[hallow shadow]

I’m sorry, homie.
I don’t know that missions, but I can relate. Kinda.

[visual mortar]

lets revisit the middle eastern dlc idea

[weary hedge]

I’d gobble this shit up

[tough remnant]

like what, i wasnt even the one insulting you, all i tried to do was explain a miscommunication as to why others where annoyed at you and you just target me next, actually just trash terminally online behaviour

[exotic glacier]

I can't believe my luck. I might get the day off tomorrow. Out of the blue.

[hallow shadow]

Transylvania would be sick DLC

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[visual mortar]

where... did i target you.

[weary hedge]

MJ the legend

[hallow shadow]

CHEEKEEHEE BREEKEEHEE

[shrewd needle]

And with the perfectly adequate popcorn.

[tough remnant]

here

[tough remnant]

oh and here

[visual mortar]

thats your definition of targeting? am i not allowed to disagree

[weary hedge]

CHEEKI BREEKI DANKE. lobs grenade at forehead

[visual mortar]

i suppose i just keep everything to myself

[hallow shadow]

That’ll work.

[shrewd needle]

Not the worst idea.

[tough remnant]

Yes suffer in silence please.

Become a martyr of contemplation on the world and how unfair it is.

[weary hedge]

Yeah not everything needs to be expressed but i appreciate thy input lad

[hallow shadow]

Hey man. MJ would never leave the Bar.
He’d be dancing to the radio.

[exotic glacier]

This happened during my first playthrough. The other playthroughs he was the, I went out of my way to give him what he wants to shoot him in the face before his dialogue.

[visual mortar]

he's able to express himself but when i disagree, thats evil. i guess i have to agree on everything

[tough remnant]

yes you are the true evil

[weary hedge]

He was truly a man who rode the waves

[shrewd needle]

5% is about 'what'. 95% is about 'how'.

[tough remnant]

pretty sure your the lucifer guy in that bible people talk about

[visual mortar]

i feel evil blood in my veins i must do evil things

[hallow shadow]

I’ve restarted 3 times just to be able to find Varan.

But he’s NEVER on his throne before speaking to Diode (for me).
I have never seen a single Kingpin mission.

[visual mortar]

RAGGGH I DISAGREE

[shrewd needle]

Here's an idea...if you don't like his opinion, that's fine. Why not disengage?

[shrewd needle]

And again...how you disagree makes all the difference in the world.

[visual mortar]

you're*

[tough remnant]

wasnt based off an opinion, was based off of imature behaviour

[weary hedge]

Ppl wanna feel validated 😂 but the other dude lowkey rage baiting

[visual mortar]

immature alright i guess im immature for disagreeing TOO!

forgive me father

[hallow shadow]

Maybe it’s reverse psychology.

My initial statement was “insulting”, but factual.

“Certain types of alcohol do not introduce certain types of impulses. Vodka doesn’t make you fight, and tequila doesn’t make you horny.”

Juice Boy is like “I’ve never heard anyone say anything like that.”

[tough remnant]

yea somebodys bored I guess

[shrewd needle]

Doesn't stop you from disengaging.

[visual mortar]

yeah i believe that's what i said

[weary hedge]

Pretty much

[tough remnant]

i dunno I find it kinda ammusing how some people just like to be hated

[hallow shadow]

Maybe he hasn’t. I said he was under a rock.
Homie has a small right to defend his stance.

But he truly must’ve been under a rock.
Then he says anyone who drinks is an alcoholic, and he doesn’t associate with that.

Homie automatically believes himself to be above others.

He is safe to disregard.

[visual mortar]

i didn't say that at all

[exotic glacier]

I think the game wants you to go to him when he radios you, when you are close to his base. I usually just walk in round back. His goons leave you alone. Kinda creepy... Just walking into a bandit camp.

[lucid charm]

\o sup, what are we talking about?

[visual mortar]

we're talking about the new middle east dlc

[hallow shadow]

I’ll have to try that. Just brush straight there.

[weary hedge]

Angry people

[tough remnant]

What you said could be percieved as the above message, thats all i tried to tell you my dude

[shrewd needle]

I mean...option's still on the table.

[hallow shadow]

Why a Middle East DLC?

[tough remnant]

BECAUSE WE NEED TO GO BACK!

[weary hedge]

How you doing lately Luci?

[lucid charm]

Bet, lemme just bust out the popcorn and watch the chaos ensue

[visual mortar]

because they have badass music

[hallow shadow]

No, we don’t.
Unless it’s to liberate a particular place.

[exotic glacier]

Lads, stop talking. Just block each other and move on.

[hallow shadow]

That’s true. Middle eastern music slaps.

[shrewd needle]

See, this is why I like Stellaris. That way, I can bait someone and then shove a Death Star in their face if they try to resist. 😏

[visual mortar]

niel, im in that tree behind you

[weary hedge]

Yknow I can’t argue with that😂

[shrewd needle]

Considering they're bickering like an old couple, might need a room instead of a block.

[tough remnant]

Im taken, sorry to dissapoint

[weary hedge]

When in doubt kiss it out 😘

[visual mortar]

the taken from Destiny

[tough remnant]

also i dont block people over nothing burger disagreements on the internet

[rare lily]

"bread "

[weary hedge]

Cultured.

[lucid charm]

“Now Kith :3”

[visual mortar]

now who's going to junguscon

[hallow shadow]

I asked earlier.
What’s a chunguscon?

[exotic glacier]

I don't remember the trigger. Someone mentions Varan to you. 'He might help with your investigation.' Or whatever.

[visual mortar]

doesn't matter are you going

[rare lily]

Bread

[hallow shadow]

No. I don’t associate with Chungus

[visual mortar]

Jungus

[hallow shadow]

Same thing.

[visual mortar]

heretical

[weary hedge]

Some Chinese thing

[visual mortar]

nope

[weary hedge]

I looked it up and all I got was Chinese text 😂

[tough remnant]

we need boykisser edition stalker patches in the emojis tab, change my mind

[hallow shadow]

I need a Skif/Richter romance option.

[vapid galleon]

[tough remnant]

HA

well they did it in kcd2 with henry and capon, love does find a way

[weary hedge]

Mom I’m scared come pick me up

[tough remnant]

check the memes channel

its the most cursed thing ive seen here to date

[weary hedge]

I know what ur talking about. That shit is nuts.

[hallow shadow]

Oh. WOW.

Imma. I need a cigarette.

[shrewd needle]

I think you need more than just a cigarette...

[hallow shadow]

Like what?

Richter can have my babies, dude.

[lucid charm]

Stalkers would literally rather bang bloodsuckers than have women in the zone smhmyhead

[exotic glacier]

Kubasa

[hallow shadow]

I also need a Vicky romance.
I love my Malachite Lady.

[tough remnant]

The zone is just one big mancave

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-the-boys-speechless-sad-give-me-a-minute-gif-5336379821034774682

[hallow shadow]

Considering Homelander is the epitome of bad things.

This is funny.

Typical American take.

[shrewd needle]

And even he'd be speechless.

[hallow shadow]

Homelander ain’t shit, really.
The fanbase for that show is about as insufferable as Rick and Morty.
The lack of media literacy is astounding, in my nation.

[obtuse veldt]

Now that you mention it...

[weary hedge]

Real😂

[fervent island]

Stalker DLC x Kingdom cum deliverance DLC.

[tough remnant]

watch a real show with good writing, like bluey

[obtuse veldt]

Ask yourself if you try to put them a globe and point America in it...

I bet 70% wont know where is located

[hallow shadow]

That’s a big fat negative.
Bluey is a little shit, and deserves nothing.

I hate Bluey, and that screeching that Bingo makes is an absolute nightmare.
I already live with Eeeeeeee
In my ear.

[tough remnant]

He right tho...

Bluey gonna grow up to be part of the youth crime epidemic here💀

[lucid charm]

Bluey has a stabbin license

[hallow shadow]

Tinnitus, and Bingo are not a good combo.

Bluey represents a young narcissistic mind, and Bingo is a young empathetic mind.

Bluey is an asshole, and you can’t change my mind.

[tough remnant]

I want to throw bluey into a whirligig anomaly

[hallow shadow]

The parents, though?
Decent folk. They try.

Dog is good meat, and I’ve never had blue dog.

[tough remnant]

wow economy in europe is that bad is it...

[hallow shadow]

My half-sister has two kids.
They’re at the age to watch Bluey.

I have conniptions whenever I’m visiting.

[lofty dew]

asian style dog meat is kinda bad i mean from my hometown of course i never liked it

[hallow shadow]

I’ve only had Gaegolgi a handful of times.
I liked it.

[tough remnant]

are you the Hu

[lofty dew]

no idk i’m just partly chinese i suppose

[tough remnant]

Very anomalous behaviour in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R discord today

[gusty hearth]

[hallow shadow]

Yeah. Today is weird.
Must be something in the water.

Fluoride, or whatever.

[obtuse veldt]

Irradiated water

[obtuse veldt]

Welcome to the zone, everyone goes crazy after a while

[gusty hearth]

Ur American?

[weary hedge]

🦅

[hallow shadow]

Yes.

[gusty hearth]

Why no imported Cherno water ?

It’s good for the health

[hallow shadow]

No Zone water?
Probably because of Dear Leader’s imbecilic Tariffs

[weary hedge]

We keep our shi clean 🧼

[hallow shadow]

Tell that to Flint Michigan

[gusty hearth]

I’m German I have Same problem rn because of u stupid America capitalist Pigs

[hallow shadow]

Hell, even most Floridians and Georgians don’t drink tap water.
It’s not safe.

[lucid charm]

Water from the zone might actually be less toxic

[weary hedge]

Yummy lead 🤪

[hallow shadow]

I was stationed in Germany for two years.
Don’t worry.
I’m well aware of how dookie our systems are.
We shouldn’t even have bases in your countries.
