[candid stirrup]

It’s fun if you don’t go balls deep. Just play causally

Honestly I can’t

[smoky hawk]

yhea you should go back to roblox

[hallow shadow]

Hurt feelings?
Shucks.

[kindred fable]

I'm 25 yo tho...

[hallow shadow]

Oh.
Oh no.
How unfortunate.

[smoky hawk]

I mean, he is right, I cant strap him to a chair and chemically alter his brain to change his mind

yet

[candid stirrup]

Good for you bro

[hallow shadow]

Hahaha!

[charred nova]

We will work on this

[smoky hawk]

I mean yhea but you are also brazillian so we know you have played BF2 before

[fickle hill]

Yeah you can pop the lid and use an eraser

[drifting bear]

New DOOM?

[candid stirrup]

The new doom was mid

[hallow shadow]

Dark Ages?
It was almost ok.

[candid stirrup]

It wasn’t bad per se. Just wasn’t my shit. I missed glorykills idk

[hallow shadow]

Doom 3 needs a remake.

[candid stirrup]

Real, shit played like fear

[hallow shadow]

That shit was fear, when I was a kid.

[smoky hawk]

the new doom trilogy was just mid

truth is

[candid stirrup]

I liked 2016 and eternal

[smoky hawk]

slop slurper

[hallow shadow]

I liked 2016, as a modern take on the first game.
Eternal was… Doing too much. Trying too hard.

[candid stirrup]

They were fun bro idk💀

[candid stirrup]

Fair enough tbh

[hallow shadow]

Shhhh. He was defending Arma.
Opinion invalid.

[kindred fable]

Nah, you’ve mixed me up with someone else

[charred nova]

Tbh I liked eternal more than 2016

Didn’t bother with dark ages

[candid stirrup]

Dark ages made me sad

[smoky hawk]

Nu-Doom becoming a slaughter wad kiting simulator is the most poetic revenge the universe could have for Romero, intensified by the fact that they arent even taking notes from Serious Sam

[charred nova]

I think it should have been a quake game

[hallow shadow]

Quake 4 needs a remake.

[charred nova]

Like doom is tired now

It’s time for quake

[hallow shadow]

That game SLAPPED

[smoky hawk]

please, dont encourage them to ruin the gmae I actually like

[kindred fable]

To be fair, your game won't disappear

[weary hedge]

Dark ages was so mid almost fell asleep on the 2nd mission

[candid stirrup]

Real, just play the original lol

[kindred fable]

Let them try it at least

[smoky hawk]

no, there will come a new one wearing the mask of what I like but miming a stange and sorrowful death

[candid stirrup]

Exactly. Based

[smoky hawk]

I dont care

I dont want its name used like that

and I know what kind of crap theyd make

[candid stirrup]

Then don’t play it

[smoky hawk]

its all written in the, nu Doom trilogy

[candid stirrup]

That’s what I did with metal gear solid delta

[smoky hawk]

I wouldnt, and I would still complain

[charred nova]

idk i think they might be able to do a good take on quake

though i hope they go for the quake 1 vibe

[hallow shadow]

The Strogg go hard.

[smoky hawk]

their good take for Doom was to strip it down to make a Doomworld low effort wad
I have no faith in them

zero

zilch

nada

[candid stirrup]

I like stalker :)

[charred nova]

wrong opinion

stalker is bad

[candid stirrup]

You’re so right

I never thought about it that way

[weary hedge]

get out of here, stalker

[candid stirrup]

Idk man silly game where I shoot poor people with caffeine addictions is fun

[charred nova]

i mean the world building wasn't that great ill agree but

i enjoyed the gameplay

[weary hedge]

Stalker has good humor. Silly joes in a dark environment

[smoky hawk]

the worst part about the nu-doom trilogy is the visuals and the gameplay, tho there is something to be said about their portrayl of doomguy and the story, wherein they ideolize the doomguy and makea mockery of the terms with the most milque toaste and bothing concepts locked in as tho it was a reddit fanfic

https://tenor.com/view/nuts-anton-cigurh-no-country-for-old-men-gif-27499167

they did hire doomworld mappers for that

[charred nova]

idk man i thought it was kinda good

gameplay was anyway

[kindred fable]

Which doom port is your favorite one? What do you think about mouselook in modern ports?

Just wonder

[smoky hawk]

the worst sin that the nuDoom trilogy has managed to do is taht its style has bled all thought the gaming scene and infested other games, ensuring that, even if you dont play these nu doom games, you will still smell their perverse shit

[smoky hawk]

I like one and 2 and I don't care about mouselook, Im more so interested in map feel, most of the times, mouselook doesnt change that

[gusty hearth]

So comrades how are we doing

[charred nova]

we are angrily hating on stalker 2

[smoky hawk]

grim

[gusty hearth]

Why

[charred nova]

its stoc thats what we do

[kindred fable]

Of course you like 1 and 2 but what ports do you play? I mean... You aren't playing them dos versions, right?

[gusty hearth]

Clearly clear sky is the clearest option

Oh no I think I’m about to be shot 452 times

[smoky hawk]

if I wanna play nowadays, probably Zdoom or Zandronum

[gusty hearth]

Good bless the enclave 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

Sorry wrong game

[kindred fable]

Working sucks, actually. Better stay in the basement and eat shrooms that grow there

Don't let that psyop get to you, guys

[charred nova]

yah im going to school just to get a piece of paper that lets me get a job

crazy

[hallow shadow]

A job?
What? You like selling your body?

[charred nova]

thats not a job

[stark crescent]

too much jumping and special killing. they stepped away from what was truly about doom. just shooting demons. now you had to be a fully fletched acrobat with a minimum of 2 years of circus school behind ya

it felt more like tomb raider. but with demons

[wooden walrus]

the plutonia experiment and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

[hallow shadow]

Use cover? Stay moving?

That’s how every doom game has been.

Anything older than that is literal Boomer territory.

[shell flax]

Completely unrelated but if I kill a Pseudogiant or chimera in 1.6 and a random loner steals it, I’m introducing him to both barrels of the Ram-2

[stark crescent]

You arnt doing that already?

[shell flax]

No I try to avoid killing non hostile stalkers

[stark crescent]

I just shoot everyone on sight atm. It really doesnt matter. Story forces factions to like you and let you in

[kindred fable]

Based

[stark crescent]

Degtyarev can suck me. He doesnt like me, or the ward. He still has to help me and his men help me as a human shield for the monolith.

[bold smelt]

[hallow shadow]

I’m sorry you can’t sort that Duty issue out.
I’ve never heard of those dudes going hostile.

[hallow shadow]

I feel that.
Looting other NPCs? (Humanoid)
That’s ok. Kinda. I’m usually carrying enough stuff to neglect a body or three.

But my mutant parts?
No. 9/10 NPCs need Skif to save them from a Mutant. They don’t get my parts. They’re worth more than any Bandages, Stale Bread, and 3x 5.45 rounds that I find on any other corpse.

The loot system is already caca.
Why make the pool shallower, by turning the world into anti-player thievery?

[spare canopy]

Awesome, what is the performance like?

Was it a massive hit?

[spare canopy]

What Issue?

[spare canopy]

The bane of modern gaming. Everything panders to joypads, so games are all about movement. When in the past, it was accuracy, with a mouse.

And I hate games that are about moving.

[spare canopy]

You posting this, gave me the impression that 1.6 was released, but nah 😄

[ebon blade]

I don't know how XBox works, but Steam notifies you as you bring up the game, if there is a new patch.
I'm just stumped why so many people come here, asking if it is out yet. I guess they're not actively playing.

[spare canopy]

I have been busy all day, just got back, and slightly wallied.

It's cool, I can wait, I hate rushed stuff.

[hallow shadow]

One Stalker here seems to have Duty and another place hostile towards them.
No matter what the Stalker does, they won’t become non-hostile.

[exotic glacier]

I agree. Little bro can aimbot blind dogs for me, I even ress them all out of my pocket, but if they think they can walk up and nick my mutant parts... Human fatalities will flourish.

[smoky hawk]

they should be cattering to this

[hallow shadow]

Catering*

[spare canopy]

Hmmmm, did they slaughter lots of Duty?

[hallow shadow]

I honestly don’t know.

I used to have Kensington track balls.
Best mouse I’d ever had.
Back in the early 2000’s, at least.

[spare canopy]

Back in the day, if you put the effort in... Was a nightmare to go up against.

[ebon blade]

2005 is calling. They want their Optical Trackball back.

[hallow shadow]

Those things were awesome.

[smoky hawk]

its mine now and they cant take it away from me

[ebon blade]

Amazingly you can still buy those for about $30 (about 25.54 Euros)

[spare canopy]

I had one mouse, a logitec, instead of a wheel, it had a rocker button for up an down, press it once, swap weapon once... Amazing it was, using that as the Predator in the OG AVP game, was just so sweet... zoom in zoom out... stunning mouse it was. Was an old ball mouse.

[smoky hawk]

I mean yhea, they still have an audience, one of these days I should make a Keyboard and Trackball combo for my TV

[exotic glacier]

I have a 7900GRE, how did you get fsr4 on your game?

[ebon blade]

The Chinese are selling those for about half the price of the Kensington:
https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Mini-Wireless-Keyboard-with-Trackball-Mouse_60778998875.html

[spare canopy]

optisoming... Spent last night trying to get it working.

He might be on later

[cyan mulch]

We’re all to stand upon the sea. Through death, through darkness, thus. I choose the nets that swallow me. This mortal coil has failed us

[spare canopy]

Are you on about your inflatable ring again? 😄

[ebon blade]

That is definitely your favorite sticker. Every time I see it posted, I know it's you without having to look.

[smoky hawk]

I mean yhea but wheres the fun in that

[cyan mulch]

Yes best sticker ever.

I need my pizza fixin to calm down

[spare canopy]

They might need to stay away from Duty for a while until they calm down, then run missions like crazy for them...

But IIRC, someone, somewhere, mentioned there is someone you can talk that can fix the rep?

I know there is one person in Rostok.

[hallow shadow]

I think the player tried that.
Side Jobs, finding the bribe-person.

I dunno.
I’m playing Destiny 1, right now.

[cyan mulch]

Thank you Tejas you always have my pizza fixin when i need it

[spare canopy]

Destiny 1? didn't that get shutdown and merged with 2, then ruined?

[cyan mulch]

Crane on a crane

[strong onyx]

INT8 FSR4 DLL, you can either use Optiscaler or if the game already supports FSR4 natively just drag and drop the DLL into the right spot. I can send you the files later when I get home if you’d like?

I have them all pre configured already so it’s a simple drag and drop.

[ebon blade]

I'm not really surprised GSC made Scar crazy. After all he got all that nerve damage from Emissions back in 2011.

[weary hedge]

Stay away from the center of the zone kids.

[cyan mulch]

I am glad they did that, claude from gta 3 had more personality then him in clear sky lol

[spare canopy]

Where's the fun in that 😄

[willow zinc]

Where is multiplayer mode?

It's been almost a year, and there's still no mention of it. The same goes for DLC.

[cyan mulch]

Kewk let them fix the game first

[strong onyx]

It runs better than FSR 3.1.5 for my GPU for some reason on average…despite being an 7900 XTX.

[willow zinc]

Well, I guess we'll wait a while. xD

[obtuse veldt]

Until new engine is launched, you gotta wait

Also, i swear some upgrades make no sense being locked out from using them on weaponry

Like, how is incompatible some polymer parts with an ergonomic handguard

[hallow shadow]

D2 sucks. I won’t deny.
D1 still runs. Same game.
I just wish they’d give it more frames.
This shit is chunky

The games runs at 30FPS, but for some reason, my scream looks like it hitches on all the things.

Is it my refresh rate? My VRR? My Freesync?

My Xbox does 1080p@120, but this game looks so… Slow
I’d be happy with just 40FPS.

[charred nova]

People be asking for multiplayer when they still got another 30 to 40 percent of the game to finish first

[violet dune]

they dont understand how bad it will be.

[wooden walrus]

it's going to be a slow burn but we'll eventually get there and people will be like "WHAT, NO COOP?!"

and I will laugh

[violet dune]

it will be half baked tdm. with terrible netcode and no balance on weapon

[wooden walrus]

just like the ogs, bless em

[violet dune]

GSC will only farm negative comments on steam for this "multiplayer"

[wooden walrus]

actually since the OG's multiplayer was just a token addition of what was popular at the moment, it would make more sense if the multiplayer in this is some battle royale or something

then again, this is stalker so it is contractually obligated to have exactly the same as the original games because those games were perfect and should not be tampered with, only emulated

[violet dune]

BF6 with 400M budget cant make proper BR, you think GSC with 40-50M can? 😄

[wooden walrus]

I was thinking either BR or extraction but extraction would make too much sense

[violet dune]

no shot. impossible to make. the best they can do is some kind of modes. bandit waves / gun game / ffa / tdm

extraction shooter or br requires huge amount of money into servers, live support, mtx (how they going to be sustainable)

they cant make AI run above 100m radius. imagine 100 players in the zone for BR 😄

[charred nova]

I think it’s funny they wanna be war zone

I mean this is the 3rd time they tried this it died in a month every time but

All the power to em I guess

Still gonna play

The regular game not the br

[violet dune]

yea.. i dont put much faith in BR, im not fan of BR so i dont care much, but its a bit of waste imo.

[fervent island]

I like BR.🇧🇷

[wooden walrus]

brbrbrbrbrbr

[fickle hill]

When he walks away stab him in the back

[wooden walrus]

"this is the zone, who's going to judge me?"
immediately turns back to loner holding a double barrel

[fickle hill]

Eh just stab them so it doesn't effect rep

[hallow shadow]

You can cut (literally) an NPC down, and they don’t consider that a negative rep?

[fickle hill]

Okay a stealth kill

[hallow shadow]

Bet!
Steal my mutant parts, get a Kabar in the armpits.

Remember kids, if you suddenly find yourself in the middle of a gunfight, and you have a knife?
Go for the armpits.

[fickle hill]

A real champion

[hallow shadow]

The brachial artery travels under the arms.
The only way to stop that bleeding is with hemostats or professional medical help.

Your foe with be unconscious due to blood loss in 60 seconds, and deceased in 60 more.

Of course. That is, if your opponent is wearing armor.
It almost never covers the pits.
Give em a hug.

[charred nova]

The only way the br would work is if it was free

[hallow shadow]

BR would be so janky, dude.

[charred nova]

They don’t seem to understand literally the only successful brs still going

[hallow shadow]

But I’d still try it. At least once.

[charred nova]

Ate all free

Fortnite is free cod warzone is free even pubg changed over to being free

[runic minnow]

is 1.6 coming with the optimizations

[charred nova]

No

[fickle hill]

Only fortnite came on top others are trash

[charred nova]

Pubg is still insanely popular

Just not in English speaking communities

[fickle hill]

Makes sense because devs did it dirty over time

[charred nova]

Pubg 24 hour peak is like 600k plus

[wooden walrus]

they need to add the griddy

[weary hedge]

Real ones know h1z1 did it first 😏

[charred nova]

I wonder where all those players are from

china

[weary hedge]

And India

[fickle hill]

Oh yea chinee cheata

[charred nova]

Me and my buddy tried playing again but

[weary hedge]

Most of Asia as a matter of fact

[charred nova]

Chinese players sweat so hard

[wooden walrus]

social credit in shambles

[charred nova]

It’s fucken insane bro

[fickle hill]

Pubg M had the same fate ever since Resident collab

[charred nova]

I don’t care much about pubg anymore it use to be super fun but

They kept changing how all the guns worked

Which sucked

[weary hedge]

If it wasn’t full of mfs that live rent free on the game it would be good

[charred nova]

You’d finally get good with a recoil system

[wooden walrus]

hot take: br was never good

[charred nova]

Then they would change it

[charred nova]

It’s fun with friends

[wooden walrus]

ah that explains it

[charred nova]

I’d never play a br by my self

I have 650 hours in pubg

[fickle hill]

It was fun and games until you land in military and get punched to death

[charred nova]

98 percent of that is playing with my buddy

[charred nova]

That’s part of the fun

It’s like gambling

If you find the shotgun first

Your winning

[fickle hill]

It was both on PC and Mobile it was a gamble

[charred nova]

On mobile it was bots

I once got a 30 kill game on mobile

💀

[fickle hill]

Did you play the resident evil collab?

Or am I the only one to remember it

[charred nova]

I played it in highschool

[charred nova]

Not the collab

I graduated in 2021

And we mostly played in 9th and 10th grade

After that everyone moved onto clash royal

[fickle hill]

LMAO

The collab was 2018 you had a Leon flesh suit within a slot machine but actual gameplay of zombies absolute cimema that was the update where you could play with a gatling gun

[charred nova]

Yah I don’t remember that

[fickle hill]

I guess it's nice to have certain info that people can't really remember

[charred nova]

Pubg mobile is pure slop

[violet dune]

anything mobile is slop

[fickle hill]

Anymore it is Season 4 was as peak as it got

And it got worse after that with fortnite garbage in a military shooter

[charred nova]

Why I’m hyped for bf6

Real military shooter

[candid stirrup]

I played the beta, it was great

[charred nova]

[candid stirrup]

absolute cinema

[violet dune]

until season 2 hits 😄

[charred nova]

Why I grinded out the entire 60 tier bf2042 battle pass just to get the bf6 cosmetics

[fickle hill]

Yeah I wanna be a REAL man and not a unicorn where my gun identifies as "peace keeping device"

[candid stirrup]

I hope bf6 doesnt get a battlepass

[charred nova]

It will

[dense badger]

this strelok fight is grating

[charred nova]

That’s basically unavoidable

[violet dune]

pre-orders literaly say T25 BP skip bonus

[candid stirrup]

Im fine with free games having one, but if I paid a bunch of money, I dont want a stupid battlepass in it

[charred nova]

Well

It’s gonna have one

Sorry to say

[fickle hill]

Just take the free stuff and move on

[violet dune]

Battlepass will be 100%, clown skins will be added slowly by testing boundries. the same way MW19 did

[charred nova]

I don’t really care as long as I don’t have to pay for the battle pass

[fickle hill]

$10 usd on top of a $70 DLC

[violet dune]

if anyone think EA will just wont be greedy and not going to try to be like COD/WZ which brings B's in revenue 😄 come on

[charred nova]

Doubt it will have dlc

[fickle hill]

I know it's just funny to call a cod game a DLC

[charred nova]

To be fair they got bullied so hard they dropped most of that stuff in 2042

[violet dune]

because 2042 in general was disaster

[candid stirrup]

fr

[charred nova]

The promises are made

[primal nimbus]

BF6 getting some flak because of some political comments one higher up dev made lately

[charred nova]

If they think the wave of hate won’t be bigger than ever

[frigid hill]

u_boat_571 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[primal nimbus]

Get wolf’d

[candid stirrup]

I see how it is

[charred nova]

Yes yes talking bad about recently dead guy

Many such cases

[violet dune]

they will test community with semi-clown skins and will see reaction. i almost guarantee this. there is already leaks of "monster energy" type of neon green skin on launch

[candid stirrup]

bf 6 beta was great, surely they cant mess it up.. right? right..?

[charred nova]

They can

[candid stirrup]

they'll find a way

[charred nova]

But the core game is actually fun so

[candid stirrup]

real

[primal nimbus]

And supposedly shutting people up trying to bring it up

[charred nova]

I’m willing to tolerate a lot

[charred nova]

Yah cus it’s an insanely bad look

[violet dune]

all they have to do is keep skins on BR and MP separately. i would like that

[primal nimbus]

Which ironically adds more fuel to the fire

[charred nova]

Talking about it at all is career suicide

[candid stirrup]

yuh

[charred nova]

Just don’t touch it at all imo

[candid stirrup]

I agree

[primal nimbus]

Agreed

[fickle hill]

Wanna know what happens when people talk about it? they lost their jobs

[charred nova]

We aren’t getting into the weeds about this

[primal nimbus]

My coworkers and i talk about it, and go, ‘Yeah. This is fucked.’

Thats just it

[fickle hill]

The barbed wire is already sharp

[charred nova]

This entire topic is literally a powder keg

[candid stirrup]

You ever play trepang2?

[charred nova]

Who?

[candid stirrup]

anyone

[primal nimbus]

Yes, eargasm simulator

I love the flying screaming guys

[fickle hill]

Alright who is excited for NVGs in tree days

[primal nimbus]

Then it hits right when in slowmo

[charred nova]

I frankly don’t care about it at all

I think it’s a larper gimmick of a feature

[primal nimbus]

Posting a tarkov meme about it, that got taken down. (I wonder why.)

[candid stirrup]

same, did you know most of the friendly task force guys voice lines were recorded on a phone

[primal nimbus]

Thats hecking legendary

[ebon blade]

That's way more valuable to me than the Mosin or Kora.

[fickle hill]

If you posted it in memes yeaaah just stick with offtop

[candid stirrup]

lol

[charred nova]

Nvgs in stalker were never that great

[candid stirrup]

they're silly tho

[charred nova]

I just hate nvgs in most video games

[fickle hill]

Yeah my 15/15 vision sucks with the lamp combo

[charred nova]

Like 95 percent of video game nvgs I completely hate

[vital ivy]

Hi I'm new to stalker

[candid stirrup]

in metal gear solid 5 theyre almost useless, most of the bases are lit up anyway

[candid stirrup]

sup bro. hows it going

[charred nova]

Only game with usable nvgs was metro last light

I liked them in that game

[vital ivy]

I'm a little drunk playing clear sky

[fickle hill]

You could try keeping your own on your desk and see if that works

[candid stirrup]

never played it, played the other metro games tho, was it any good?

[charred nova]

Yah

[candid stirrup]

Hell yeah brother

[charred nova]

Some people hate it but I liked it

I liked it enough to get every steam achievement

[candid stirrup]

eh, theres always some people that dont like a thing. I'll give it a shot if it goes on sale

[candid stirrup]

oh danm must have been good

[charred nova]

Right now I’m playing cyberpunk

Well

I would be but I’m on vacation

But a certain stoc chatter gas lighted me until I finally bought it

[candid stirrup]

good game, goofy release but they fixed it. I never got the dlc tho, I meant to

[charred nova]

I’ll give him credit it’s pretty epic

[candid stirrup]

lets go im level 4

[candid stirrup]

fr, great game

[candid stirrup]

I almost got ya

pretty close. only 85 below

[charred nova]

Ha

One day

[primal nimbus]

Got onto Umamusume

[candid stirrup]

ngl I dont use discord that much. joined this one for the zone title thing

[charred nova]

I just got to use a multi tool can opener for the first time ever

I had a can of mangos

[candid stirrup]

how did it go?

[charred nova]

Very annoying tbh

[candid stirrup]

its supposed to be. how were the mangos

[charred nova]

Fairly edible

[candid stirrup]

splendid

how edible we talking? 1-10

[charred nova]

7.5/10

Apparently some people hate canned mangos

I don’t get it tbh

They are pretty tasty for just being in a can

[candid stirrup]

theyre pretty good ngl

the juice stuff they come in aint bad either. it sorta tastes like those fruit cup things

[charred nova]

Yah it does

I’m now reminded of the video of the man boiling a can of sealed tomato sauce on a gas stove

[candid stirrup]

Ive seen that

[marble dragon]

@everyonesup, how you doing?

[candid stirrup]

not much, doin alright. you?

[charred nova]

Bro really tried to @ everyone

[candid stirrup]

lol

[marble dragon]

yep😔

[candid stirrup]

how many people are in the server?

[weary hedge]

[candid stirrup]

thats a lot of pings

golly gosh

[weary hedge]

Over a hundred k but around 100 active chatters

[charred nova]

We have 1/10 of the people in the gamma server

[candid stirrup]

still, if a ping is at everone it pings all of em right?

[marble dragon]

server stats says 126K

[weary hedge]

Yeah there’s a reason it don’t allow that 😆

[candid stirrup]

c00per is in it to win it

legendary move

[charred nova]

Maybe I can @ everyone

If I could

[marble dragon]

nt

[weary hedge]

Bro thought he was the main character 😆

[charred nova]

I would say something super offensive then instantly delete it

[marble dragon]

ok

[candid stirrup]

power move

[charred nova]

Trust me bro I’d do a lot if I thought I could get away with it

Unfortunately upper management would be head me with in the hour

[candid stirrup]

the words of a good mod

[charred nova]

We are all here to have fun after all

[candid stirrup]

[charred nova]

If I ban everyone I don’t like nothing fun would ever happen

[candid stirrup]

[marble dragon]

😂

[weary hedge]

[fickle hill]

Glad to hear your britches fit

[marble dragon]

[charred nova]

Hey man behind closed doors 2016 never left

[candid stirrup]

the year?

[fickle hill]

Professional outside the epic troll WITHIN

[candid stirrup]

what went down in 2016

[charred nova]

Was more or less the last year the internet was truly a free place

Where you could say and do just about anything you wanted

[candid stirrup]

oh i see

[fickle hill]

Yeah where people could enjoy jokes without the soft taking place

Now we live in an ocean with too many jellyfish swimming around

[charred nova]

Yah…..

[charred nova]

[candid stirrup]

hes a mod

he IS the censorship. very based and not corrupt system

[frigid hill]

u_boat_571 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[charred nova]

This entire system has become a massive inside joke

[candid stirrup]

will wolf beat my ass if I say bad words too often?

[charred nova]

No

[fickle hill]

No this is what happens when your superiors aren't spineless

[charred nova]

You will never be punished

[candid stirrup]

why is it there then 💀

[charred nova]

Because!

[candid stirrup]

I never thought about it like that, makes sense

[charred nova]

It’s purely a formality

[marble dragon]

That explains

[charred nova]

Why we also won’t punish you if you find some way to bypass it

Just don’t say slurs

That’s a no go

[frigid hill]

im gonna cry fr

[fickle hill]

Being a troll in a incredibly chill server is a blessing because you're the cool guy and the fun is when they're mod and have a head on their shoulders

[candid stirrup]

people still say troll?

[charred nova]

It’s rage baiting these days

[fickle hill]

[weary hedge]

trollolololol

[candid stirrup]

I feel at peace

[weary hedge]

Epic troll face moment

[marble dragon]

IS that word like out of usage or what?

[candid stirrup]

[charred nova]

This is more of a gate keeping and girl bossing type of server tbh

[candid stirrup]

those go hand in hand, its the same thing really

[candid stirrup]

nobody gatekept when that dude said he was new to stalker earlier 💀

[charred nova]

He didn’t talk about anomaly or gamma

[candid stirrup]

fair

[charred nova]

If you do that

[candid stirrup]

you guys got a problem with it?

[charred nova]

The sharks will come

Or vasim will come

[candid stirrup]

like is there a reason you dont want that? ive never played either

[charred nova]

Vasim takes no prisoners

[weary hedge]

Mod rot is real

[candid stirrup]

what

[weary hedge]

Mod rot is real

[candid stirrup]

so youve said

[fickle hill]

That's what I told Mr. blender when I asked him for a glass of Juice but instead he ga-

[candid stirrup]

tf is mod rot

[candid stirrup]

honest mistake, its okay.

[charred nova]

He explained in perfect detail why gamma is the worst mod ever made

[fickle hill]

Yes

[candid stirrup]

what is gamma exactly? Ive only heard the title lol

is it unofficial I take it?

[weary hedge]

Community modded stalker up the wazoo

[charred nova]

It’s a mil slop arma type free play mod

[marble dragon]

I tried anomaly, umm i'm bad on it so i uninstalled.

[charred nova]

This guy gets it

[candid stirrup]

valid reason

[charred nova]

You’ll fit in well here

🤝

[fickle hill]

Yes

[candid stirrup]

define mil slop

[charred nova]

The most tactical possible shooter

[candid stirrup]

I see, a game that has leaning as a mechanic, but beyond that as well?

[charred nova]

Basically they try and make the game as realistic as possible

Even if that makes many of the games features simply not fun

[candid stirrup]

but stalker isnt meant to be realistic, at least not like mega realistic

[charred nova]

Exactly

[candid stirrup]

its stalker

[charred nova]

See you’re getting it

[fickle hill]

A stalker gotta get stalkin

[candid stirrup]

stalker 2 gunplay wise had a healthy dose of both (barely milsim tbh)

yk gun go bang, thats all we need

[charred nova]

If I wanted my games to be realistic I’d go play my summer car

[candid stirrup]

is milslop a game that has inspect animations?

[weary hedge]

You’d be surprised to hear how many people complain about the guns

[charred nova]

No

It’s like escape from tarkov

That type of game

[candid stirrup]

OHH i see now

[charred nova]

They aren’t realistic enough

[candid stirrup]

really? I thought they felt good, felt pretty close to the other stalker games, little clunky but thats okay. I feel like gunfights should be a little clunky

[weary hedge]

Yeah. A big majority of people still come in here to complain how a certain caliber does less than the other n so forth

[charred nova]

Guess what bitch it’s a video game

[candid stirrup]

they complain about caliber? its not even a real gun bro

[weary hedge]

I mean it’s literally a video game

[charred nova]

Insane that a video game would be balanced like a game

This has never happened before

[candid stirrup]

make the guns fun to shoot, idgaf what caliber it is

[charred nova]

Who would have seen this game

[candid stirrup]

not once

[weary hedge]

Basically most people expect all the guns that have a certain caliber to do the same amount of damage

[charred nova]

The fact I can’t one shot people with 22lr has completely ruined my immersion

[candid stirrup]

even with a real gun thats not quite how it works

[marble dragon]

MAkes no sense

[candid stirrup]

different guns have different velocities and barrel length and all that, so even the same caliber will act differently depending what its fired from

[weary hedge]

Apparently immersion is more important than anything 😆

[marble dragon]

kinda thought how its gonna be when the pistol will have the same velosity as the sniper rifle)

[weary hedge]

Even tho I most of these people have never even seen a real gun in person but it be what it be

[candid stirrup]

plus its a video game so who cares bro, the guns feel fun to shoot in my opinion, and they kill the enemies lol

I like that they jam like the older games

[weary hedge]

Yup. I dont know where the realism thirst comes from tbh.

[strong onyx]

It is to an extent. It’s just not the only factor.

[candid stirrup]

I saw a guy complain that the guns jam to frequently which is probably true irl, but I feel like if they used the actual number of like thousands of rounds before a jam youd never see the mechanic

[candid stirrup]

probably real life

disgusting

[marble dragon]

Or lack of rela life?

[candid stirrup]

not real life is based

[charred nova]

Real life sucks

Why would I want more of it

[golden gulch]

So I played the game for a while with the Better Ballistic Mod on steam workshop, and I must say, the movement in this game doesn't play well with the that kind of guns balance.

[charred nova]

I want infinite fishing game instead

[weary hedge]

Sure but not every video game needs these things implemented

[marble dragon]

There one in roblox

[candid stirrup]

I agree

[weary hedge]

Especially since stalker is know for its story

And humor and environment.

[candid stirrup]

fair enough, I personally thought it felt pretty good, idk if its objectively good tho. Im not a programmer lol idk how it really works

[hallow shadow]

I love watching people get wrapped around the axle over “but mah realism!”

Das ist nicht Stalker.

[candid stirrup]

I just want my cheeki breeki

[fickle hill]

Yeah why would I want to look at realism I want flying corpses, funny sounds, and to be able to drive a road roller and turn zombies into a pancakes

[candid stirrup]

trepang2 is goated for that sorta thing

love it

[weary hedge]

Someone gets it 😆

[candid stirrup]

I love goofy games like that. theyre fun

[golden gulch]

The movements you mean? Because I found Skiff to be very....slow, unlike in the OG trilogy where you can sprint all directions.
But honestly with the mod, ammo feel like ammo rather than fuel.

[candid stirrup]

nah I meant the guns, my b.

[charred nova]

Web fishing is better

[candid stirrup]

Skif does feel a little slow

but he isnt quirked up like strelok

idk I guess they just wanted him slower? I dont mind it tho

[weary hedge]

Stelok had prior experience

[candid stirrup]

fr

[charred nova]

I mean strelok is a time lord

[fickle hill]

Come back when you put on the cuirass for some time

[golden gulch]

Ah the guns does feel good, the balance feel off, because someone an 5.45 round do less damage than a 9x18 because the gun say so, granted it's the worse AK in the game but it's still a 5.45 gun you know.

[charred nova]

Wait till they release the strelok scp onto the battlefield

[candid stirrup]

man idk im not a gun mechanic. gun go bang lol

[charred nova]

He will walk straight at tanks and destroy them

[candid stirrup]

real bro it would be over

[charred nova]

Because he has pre cognition

[weary hedge]

Strelok really just is that guy

[candid stirrup]

one could say hes him

[charred nova]

You can’t kill a man who already knows the bullet is coming

He knew it was coming 5 minutes ago

Or maybe 5 months ago

It’s all the same to him

[candid stirrup]

he caught it too

[marble dragon]

somewhere in between

[weary hedge]

You can’t kill a man who’s already on a mission to kill himself

[candid stirrup]

bare hand

[golden gulch]

another problem I found with the ballistic mod is that..... it still feel imbalance due how you can/need to repair and upgrade guns.
That same ak74u now do more damage than the Bizon but cost like 90% less to repair.

Is that how guns in real life work though?

More damage but cost less in everything?

[candid stirrup]

idk, it aint real life

[weary hedge]

Why do you care? Shit don’t matter twin

[golden gulch]

Yeah but I like the AKs and their attachments, sadly they don't do anything late game due to the balance.

[weary hedge]

All ur problems in the zone can be solved with some dough

[candid stirrup]

did you upgrade them?

[charred nova]

I can’t find the strelok green text meme

About strelok being a time lord

[golden gulch]

You know I found it hurt because we can actually find an endgame replacement for the AK 74U but not exactly for the 74S.
Dnipro replace 74U perfectly.
But Grom-S14 shoot 9x39 which is rare to drop and expensive, S15 is a good candidate but still suffer because they both doesn't have a coupled mag and the drum mag isn't added.

[fickle hill]

There's a grom s15 in cement factory

[wooden walrus]

idk if the game takes into account fire rate for damage calculations, but if that's per bullet, that bizon is packing the same kick on a 9mm pistol bullet as a 5.45 rifle one lmao

[fickle hill]

Or cooling towers to put it

[golden gulch]

Sadly no amount of upgrade can save you from pumping like 300 ammo into late game exos because the gun doesn't give you the damage you need.

[wooden walrus]

I'd say that's a fair tradeoff

[weary hedge]

Not every gun is going to be catered the same.

[wooden walrus]

that's with better ballistics?!

(as in, the mod, "better ballistics")

[soft plover]

Bro doesn't know about the good guns

[golden gulch]

Yup, if you like the earlier gun and want to use them for lategame.
But it make the later guns weaker, you might not even need them anymore after the mod, because now the earlier guns do the same dmg but cost less to repair.

Now that I think about it, I complaining about imbalance guns, but at the same time I don't see the point of complaining.

[wooden walrus]

Idk, maybe late game throws special exos against you or smth

[marble dragon]

Good night)

[wooden walrus]

'cause I can down monolith exos in like 3 hits to the dome with an ak using normal fmj

[weary hedge]

Almost like that’s what the mods made for 😆

[wooden walrus]

granted, they should go down in one

[weary hedge]

Goodnight cooper

[lucid charm]

Electrical field anomalies tying with poppers for most infuriating

[wooden walrus]

but eh

[golden gulch]

So you're telling me using the mod for a completely new playthrough a bad idea?

[weary hedge]

Depends what ur looking for. Personally I play vanilla. But if you want every gun to be completely the same damage wise go for it.

[charred nova]

Me when playing stalker

[fickle hill]

For the zone to only have 4 women yeah

[lucid charm]

Join monolith, we have hot monolithian women in your area

[charred nova]

There are no women in monolith

This is fake news

[weary hedge]

Red flags all over 🚩

[lucid charm]

Can ya prove it

[fickle hill]

I shall be result number 27,329 to say monolith

[charred nova]

Also according to the U.S. legal system you can’t date women unable to mentally consent so

[golden gulch]

Oh right, I remember what I was about to complain:
The better ballistic mod simply just expose how bad the movements in this game is, they feel rough and slow and almost unresponsive, because developers think you shouldn't be able to sprint to left and right.
NPCs with that mod kill you quicker than you can take cover, at least in the early game.

[charred nova]

A bit of a moral grey area

[fickle hill]

Nvm I was result 27,330

[weary hedge]

Any woman who is a monolith enthusiast is out for blood

[charred nova]

A monolith women would have about as much personally as a sheet of dry wall

[fickle hill]

Watching a person put up dry wall is more entertaining

The art would go crazy though

[charred nova]

And I eat dry wall

That shit got no personality let alone flavor

[fickle hill]

No texture

[obtuse veldt]

Female STALKERS when GSC?

[fickle hill]

Grey and white squares a "ERROR" is better

[charred nova]

They already added them

[obtuse veldt]

Only birch and kalyna

[charred nova]

There are 4

[fickle hill]

Yeah there's 4 of them Harpy and vicky

[obtuse veldt]

oh harpy

[fickle hill]

Our ONLY EXO TECH

[obtuse veldt]

forgot about her

Vicky, i dont think she counts as one

[charred nova]

Tbh birch got something wrong with her idk

She looks some what inbred

[obtuse veldt]

What about Prypiat technician huh?

[weary hedge]

And corps.

[fickle hill]

"I don't know bro I don't like fighting" as Duty and freedom have been at each others throats for years

[obtuse veldt]

Only thing i know, dooty = gay

[fickle hill]

He doesn't count since he is endgame only

[lucid charm]

*allegedly

[charred nova]

Pripyat early

Gsc will never be able to patch Pripyat early

[weary hedge]

Not sure why they even try😆

[fickle hill]

I tried the train this morning I couldn't get a foot onto it

[lucid charm]

Remember, if you find a route into Pripyat, keep it to yourself

[charred nova]

Every update they try and patch what ever way is most talked about

So people have just stopped sharing how to get to Pripyat early

[fickle hill]

Manned

[charred nova]

Because the moment you say anything about it they will just remove it

[fickle hill]

They got me when I jumped the wall on that telephone pole

[charred nova]

I just hate they keep doing it the game is single player who cares

[lucid charm]

Extra immersion, can’t let degy patch the holes in the fence

[charred nova]

Let me enjoy the Pripyat content when I want

It’s all mostly useless anyways

[fickle hill]

And you can't get through the electrical hole because it is a death barrier

[weary hedge]

I wanna explore Limansk. I hope that’s the first expansion

[fickle hill]

All you're gonna get is an X-lab and that's it

[weary hedge]

Mayhaps

[lucid charm]

I think it’s either gonna be Lemansk or iron forest

[fickle hill]

Oh baby give me a ticket to Zulu

[weary hedge]

What’s the new anomaly coming with 1.6?

[charred nova]

I can’t tell you

But I do know

[weary hedge]

Noice. Does it come with a new artifact ?

[lucid charm]

Duuuude, I really hope putting a PKM at “Zulu’s Stash” is part of the 1.6 stash rework.

[charred nova]

I can’t tell you that either

[fickle hill]

I hope not there's already 77 EXISTING

[weary hedge]

Damn

[fickle hill]

1 more means fun it's hell to get devils mushroom

After the artifact rework ish did I start to get artifacts that I didn't know exist

[weary hedge]

Artifact rework?

[lucid charm]

I’m sure there’s going to be a lemansk expansion at some point though. That radio broadcast is just too damn ominous

[fickle hill]

Yeah spring and flytrap used to be the same now they're different all the artifacts had a negative no matter what

[weary hedge]

Fr. That had me on the edge of my seat. I’m sure it will be smaller like Pripyat tho. Hopefully we get to see some more clear sky remnant lore.

[lucid charm]

What is it with stalkers hearing screeching and screams over a radio and immediately thinking “I should investigate”

[fickle hill]

Some radios are bugged so yeah the one by the bridge had screams

[lucid charm]

“Bugged”

[fickle hill]

The one in the waste storage when you meet strider had a sound and it's gone

[weary hedge]

Shiii i wouldn’t be able to help myself. I’d have to 😆

[lucid charm]

Ohhh that’s what you meant. I thought you were saying the limansk bridge radio was a bug

[fickle hill]

Nope there's more than one some make no sound

Don't get me wrong I am excited to explore more areas I do hope we get more weapons and not old ones

The game takes place in 2025 if I am not mistaken

[weary hedge]

2021. The callander in skifs kitchen is set in that year.

[lucid charm]

For now personally I’d rather they fill out the legacy weapons first, then move on to new ones. Mainly because it doesn’t make sense for all those guns to just disappear

[fickle hill]

Close enough

[fickle hill]

Fair enough

[fervent island]

it's set on 2021.

[obtuse veldt]

Im not gonna deny that

[hollow pier]

You guys think they gonna make it so in 1.6 we can finnaly use the Mosin with irons without mods?

I asked in gsc answers but no response yet

[obtuse veldt]

2022+

[fickle hill]

Doubt it

[fervent island]

I read that too.

[lucid charm]

#❔┃seeking-for-advice uh…what?

[weary hedge]

What puzzle is that?

[lucid charm]

Under the bridge near the scientist bunker

I thought it would be the license plates on top of the overlook, but nope. Still got blown up

[terse ravine]

when is the Playstation release?

[weary hedge]

Huh? Where on the map

[lucid charm]

Just posted a pic

[weary hedge]

oh I’m pretty sure that one is 5578

You can find this code by locating four trucks in the Yantar region with an eye painted on them

The license plates indicate the answer

[lucid charm]

That is so…roundabout and weird

Makes sense though, a stalker wouldn’t make it an easy solution

[weary hedge]

Yeah, that one took me a minute

[lucid charm]

Oh also, thanks for the help, but at the cost of sounding like a total…word I can’t say cause wolf. If I ask for help, I’m not asking for the solution, just the first steps to get there. Otherwise it feels like I didn’t earn it

Sorry if that sounds rude

[weary hedge]

Sorry. I should’ve asked. Most expect answers for loot lol.

[lucid charm]

Nah, I like to figure out the answer for myself, it’s just some of these the way to get there is so…

And you’re good. I like the help, I know I’m weird

[wooden walrus]

nov 20th, unless there's delays

[weary hedge]

Noted. Well for future references I will give clues instead if needed

[lucid charm]

Thanks…side note,whoever designed it so your aim slows down when a mutant is circling…that’s stupid and you should feel bad

But yeah Clues > Straight up answer

[ornate sable]

First digits on four different trucks with the Eye symbol (like the code lock has, many puzzles have this symbol) in the yantar truck cemetary.

Gotta say I absolutely love the S2 puzzles. Reminds me of old school Resident Evil puzzles, in the best possible ways.

[sharp flame]

Was there any mention of being able to skip the intro part of the game? Doing it once is fine but after being away for a while an coming back for new updates I don't wanna have to do all that again, just let me start where we wake up an get tossed the bolt

[lucid charm]

I think my thing is I was confused by the sign translation. It didn’t make a whole lot of sense as a non Ukrainian speaker

Fuggit installing Duolingo lmao

[wooden walrus]

there's a mod that allows you to skip the initial cutscene

there was one that let you skip the entire prologue, but from the posts on the nexus page, it seems like it's not working correctly so I'd advise not using it

we used to be able to skip all cutscenes (or at least FF through them) but that got broken less than a month into the game's life cycle and has never been fixed

some cutscenes can still be fast forwarded through, bizarrely, but most can't

[lucid charm]

If I plan on using the khora, should I just convert a vector into .45 (as god intended)?

[wooden walrus]

I'm a proponent of having as much caliber coverage as possible

[winged stump]

I am currently trying to beat clear sky for once

[ornate sable]

Higher chance of whatever you pick up will fit at least one of your guns? I get that.

[wooden walrus]

yeah, I've even carried a second pistol just in case

[primal nimbus]

For ammo sake, no

[lucid charm]

Wouldn’t it make sense to carry two ammo types instead of 3?

[primal nimbus]

[lucid charm]

Oh! Using BB btw

[primal nimbus]

Fair point. Also, I just fear burning ammo via Vector

[lucid charm]

I rarely use full auto in these game

Close quarters and that’s about it

[wanton blaze]

Me using Gangster as a pistol

[wooden walrus]

to me it's a small cost of extra logistics to idiot proof your loadout by:

1. making absolutely sure you're not going to burn through the supply of two of your guns instead of just one
2. allowing you to shoot an extra caliber that you might scavenge on your sortie.

'cause god knows that regardless how much ammo I pack, if it's an SMG I'm going to nomnom through the entire thing before long

[hallow shadow]

Ii learned this lesson in Breakpoint, actually.

I (didn’t pay attention) had a Honey Badger and a Mk48.

When my Honey Badger wasn’t cutting it, I switched.
Only to find out they both used 7.62, and I was empty.

I personally make sure no two weapons in my (current) kit share caliber.

[wanton blaze]

I find also trying to maintain what enemies will drop as how I plan. If I think I'll find 5.45 or 9mm, I'll take them

[hallow shadow]

Sharing mags with your buddy?
Yes. That’s exactly why weapons are “standard issue”.

But I refuse to cannibalize my own ammo. I hate it.

[hallow shadow]

Stalker taught me that.

I never made it into SIRCAA, instead I went and hunted down a Kharod.

Now, I carry weapons in areas I know the ammunition drops most commonly.

Shotgun shells, 5.45, and 9x18 are everywhere.
It’s the other stuff you have to plan for.

[wanton blaze]

Hilariously Ive been doing it since playing Cod World at War years ago. If the enemies drop it, probably useful to use.

My other thing I do is, full auto is rarely a good idea, atleast to me outside some specific circumstances. Take shots slow and precise

and for the love of GOD Skif, steady your arms.

[hallow shadow]

Sorry. I’m all pumped up.
Just got done playing Iron Banner on Destiny 2 with my bro.
And I was farming people.

[lucid charm]

I think for vanilla stalker 2, my favorite early-mid late’ish game is the decider

[hallow shadow]

Hold up. Lemme go look my crucible stats on destiny tracker. I need to see my ELO.

[hallow shadow]

If SOFMOD wasn’t so far away, I’d use that.
But my favorite early game is Special. The AKU in Cordon.

[lucid charm]

Pro tip…don’t turn in the quest

[wanton blaze]

Decider is a good rifle. I have Ultimate so I also go for the named Fora-221 and Vector

[hallow shadow]

Fora 221 is an excellent early game rifle.

[wanton blaze]

Lullaby and Reimann.

Lullaby with 5.56 conversion and Acog? Top tier mid range rifle

[hallow shadow]

My ELO is 1,565. Placing me at “Top 4.7%” (on Xbox) in Iron Banana.
I’m a damn monster.

[wanton blaze]

Im trash at.Pvp so I avoid it.

I do miss the Remington days of Black Ops 2 though

[hallow shadow]

PvP is all I ever show up for, anymore.

[hallow shadow]

I miss the R8? From Ghosts?

Is that the gun/game?
Ghosts was probably my last CoD story.

I gave it all up though.

CoD is… It’s been taken over by a different breed.

[wanton blaze]

Its turning into diet fortnite with the unnecessary flashy skins and weapon designs.

[hallow shadow]

But man.
I was crushing in the Crucible.
My last match? My team lost by like 7 points.
But I had twice the K/D of everyone else in the lobby.
“You might’ve won, but you damn sure died for it.”

[hallow shadow]

Ok, Sarn’t. Time to study for the Promotion Board.

[hallow shadow]

DECEASED Chonk.

Man. 1.6 is soooo close.
Blegh.
Heavy METAL blegh.

[ebon blade]

C'mon NVG!

[lucid charm]

2 days

I think (?)

[hallow shadow]

NVGs are gonna be a boon, all around.
No more revealing my position with that lamp.

[wooden walrus]

I mean there's been nvg in game for months at this point, just not on vanilla

[hallow shadow]

I’m mostly happy for the new mod approval for console.
At least. I’m HOPING for better mod approval.

Is that in 1.6?

[lucid charm]

I’ll be able to go out at night without a hud

[hallow shadow]

I’m gonna look straight up at the sky box.
Like I did the first time I ever wore NODs

[wooden walrus]

yeah after 1.6 console mods should resume.

[hallow shadow]

“Whoa… Look at the stars…”

I think it had to do with the sdk certification process or something like that idk I'm not a peasant

Fair. Jerk.

My first actual playthrough is about to be awesome.

Just gotta wait for the update, and for the Mod Authors to catch up (if 1.6 messes with their mods) and bam.
Restart. Enjoy.

Dedicate to creeping around. Finding the shit.
Securing my new apartment.

[wooden walrus]

I do need to get get a playthrough in. Might try oxa prototype for a change.

my hope is that gamma will keep me entertained for a couple months and space things a little, I'm a bit burned out from all the stupid restarting tbh

if I can stay out of stalker until the engine update that'd be great

[frigid hill]

catprince has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[fickle halo]

are there mods that make the AI less accurate because i'm becoming increasing sick of combat.

i can't walk five feet without being molested by aimbots shooting me through sixteen layers of bushes, fog, and darkness with pinpoint accuracy and i'm just about ready to stop playing

[wooden walrus]

yes

[ebon blade]

Maybe walking around at night in the fog and bushes is not the best idea.
Try staying in a camp with others and wait to venture out in the daylight.

[wooden walrus]

#1 probably does what you want better, #2 has a better chance it'll be updated sooner after the update

[fickle halo]

if that were true why's half the zone doing it

[wooden walrus]

also keep in mind, update in 2 days give or take.

[fickle halo]

because it feels like every time i want to go on a stroll i have to kill twenty five people to do it.

[ebon blade]

I guess that's the other half that is not complaining.

[fickle halo]

it feels like i've killed three zones worth of enemies by now.

[wooden walrus]

just wait for the next goober to comment on how It fEeLs sO liFElEsS

[ebon blade]

Have you tried STALCRAFT: X? It might be what you are looking for.

[lucid charm]

Death 150…these brutality mods and lack of hud is no joke…veteran is going to be so easy when I eventually go back to vanilla for achievements

Though I’ll probably stay hudless

[fickle halo]

another thing, what do you actually use 7.62x39 for, it doesnt have a compatible weapon listed

i've got like, twenty kilos of it in my stash.

[wooden walrus]

apparently 1.6 will bring more "immersive hud" options, though what that means is kind of a mystery

[lucid charm]

It used to be for the spitfire ak74U, and the LMG’s but a few patches ago GSC standardized them to take the same 7.62 rounds as snipers

[wooden walrus]

I personally wouldn't do full hudless, but I do play without enemy pips on the compass and no aggro indicators

[lucid charm]

So now they’re just money

[fickle halo]

or waiting for a new gun to be added i suppose.

might as well keep them, i'm not short on dough.

[weary hedge]

74u takes 7.62 now?

[hallow shadow]

I WISH

[lucid charm]

Only the spitfire

[hallow shadow]

Sheeeiiiiiittttt

[weary hedge]

Damn wtf. Didn’t know that

[hallow shadow]

Where is this gun? What attachments are on it?

[lucid charm]

Closest we’re going to get to an AKM in this game :’)

[weary hedge]

Looks like DNIPRO finally has some comp. Love to see it

[hallow shadow]

Even in 5.45, Dnipro shreds.

[lucid charm]

||It’s the unique AK74U you can find in strelok’s old hideout from SOC||

[hallow shadow]

But… I’m running BB. So. Of course.

[hallow shadow]

So… Not in S2

[lucid charm]

No it is in S2

[hallow shadow]

Where?

[weary hedge]

It’s a throwback in stalker 2 from the old games.

[hallow shadow]

I’ve never played the first three.

[lucid charm]

How far are you into the story

[hallow shadow]

I haven’t been into SIRCAA.

[lucid charm]

Okay you won’t find it for awhile

[hallow shadow]

It’s ready for me.
But I never went in.

[still current]

Are you ready for it?

[hallow shadow]

Oh.
Then… I’ll find it after 1.6.

Thank you for the new goal, lady.

[lucid charm]

Np

[still current]

Discord discording on me

[weary hedge]

For what

[still current]

Sorry Tec

Not supposed to be a reply

[weary hedge]

Oh all gucci

[still current]

Ewww Gucci

[wanton blaze]

I think you can get it fairly early, its a hike. I found the room going through the area backwards to get the stash in the same room

[hallow shadow]

Skif needs a 4-Wheeler.
Or a Gator with a 240 mount on the back.

[weary hedge]

Too expensive for my taste 😆

[lucid charm]

-# There is a more than 0% chance that some of the monolithians we see in corundum and exo’s without hearing their voices could be female stalkers

Have a lovely day

[hallow shadow]

No lady monos?

[still current]

Less than 0%? As in minus chance?

[hallow shadow]

How do you make your text all subdued like that?

[lucid charm]

Shutty

[still current]

Commands

[lucid charm]

Lmao

[hallow shadow]

Well duh. Which ones

[wanton blaze]

'-#' remove the quotation marks

[lucid charm]

“-#”

[still current]

Like spoiler and such

[hallow shadow]

Thank you.

[wanton blaze]

-# nerd

[still current]

heh

[lucid charm]

heh

[hallow shadow]

-# Huh?

[still current]

Space

[lucid charm]

There ya go buddy

[lucid charm]

You want a space between the command and the text

[still current]

-# space it ffs

[hallow shadow]

OOOHHHH

[hallow shadow]

Yall suck at giving directions.

The VAGUEST

[hallow shadow]

I farm that Chimera for Vicky.

It always spawns, at least. For me.

Quick way to grab parts.

[ebon blade]

As soon as you kill it, another appears.

[hallow shadow]

Really?
When I was doing my farming, I had Shay’s Living Zone (Bronze)

For me it was always a pack of Snorks after the Chimera.

[ebon blade]

I'm not using Mods to alter my mutants or enemies, so I don't know what you mean when you say that.

I had Snorks, Bloodsuckers and Blind Dogs before the Chimera.

[hallow shadow]

If I actually approach from the Mirrors, I have Snorks there. Always.
But if I just sneak into that power junction, it’s only a chimera.

I’ve never had it respawn.

[lucid charm]

Love it when harpy gives me a mission over the fence when I haven’t even crossed it yet

Lady, I’m trying to do things how I’m supposed to this time :’)

[ebon blade]

What was the side-mission?

[lucid charm]

Kill some thieves, or kill some trespassers

One of the two

[shell flax]

Kill trespassers will be over the fence usually, yeah

[fickle halo]

wonder how much a coupon is worth

[hallow shadow]

When she has “Break My Record” what kind of mission is that?

[shell flax]

Mutant Hunt

[lucid charm]

Mutie hunt

[hallow shadow]

Hell yeah.

Harpy goes hard.

I thought it was like some timed-target shooting.
Never actually picked up the mission.
I hate shit like that.

[ebon blade]

13 pesos.

[shell flax]

Unless something like a Bulat is worth 40k+ outside the zone (possible, knowing surplus costs)
I wouldn’t say it’s worth a lot

Actually, I should’ve used the Sunrise instead

Absolute slapdash suit

[lucid charm]

One thing I hope they change in the future is medium armor suits and helmets being separate pieces, or give us a Bulat suit that isn’t in freedom colors

[wanton blaze]

I'd love more camo patterns that fit the local, more oranges or even reds

[lucid charm]

I personally hate wearing duty and freedom suits, so it would be nice to have more loner sets, I mean the medium duty and merc suits are just a recolor of the same thing, so why is the Bulat freedom exclusive

[hallow shadow]

I hate wearing Spark suits.
But those stats are just sooo nice.

[weary hedge]

Need more military fs.

[lucid charm]

Oh right, there’s the spark falcon suit as well…again a recolor of that same suit

[weary hedge]

Or even corps suits.

[hallow shadow]

I need a mod for a French Maid outfit.
Get my UwU on in the Zone.
Maybe Richter will finally love me.

[lucid charm]

Maybe it’s just me but I want a variant of the sunrise suit with the long coat.
That suit+ mosin, exploring around skadovsk sounds nostalgic as hell. Also as much as I love the sunrise suit it does look kinda weird on skif

[ebon blade]

https://tenor.com/view/bbcan3-bbcan-kevin-kevin-martin-french-maids-gif-13654118

[hallow shadow]

I want Desert Ranger armor from New Vegas.

Trenchcoat armors are my jam.

[weary hedge]

hell yeah

[lucid charm]

That would go hard, hooded long coat, gas mask, NVG’s and a Vintorez

[hallow shadow]

ODST armor, with VISR tech.

[lucid charm]

Ew too fancy for stalker.

[hallow shadow]

Have you *seen SIRCAA’s toys?

[weary hedge]

Scars original loadout 🔥

[lucid charm]

Honest opinion, tacticool has no buisness in stalker since it requires far too much maintenance, and expensive replacement parts

[wanton blaze]

IPSF

We will steal their tacticool

[hallow shadow]

The year is 2021.
The old-heads wishing for more WWII are out of place.
Since we are on “opinions”.

[weary hedge]

All for it😂

[lucid charm]

WWII nah. I’m more thinking of the ease of maintenance and availability aspect

[hallow shadow]

With IPSF and Ward running around.
Tacticool isn’t too far fetched.

You’d just have to smoke a couple badges to get it.

[wanton blaze]

I think my biggest issue with Tacticool in stalker is
Anomaly interference and more importantly to me, people hording it and not actually using it. Like I see bandit leaders with armories of tacticool they dont use cause they took it off dead loners or worry they'd be stolen

[wooden walrus]

counterpoint: Uh, achskually, you will find the originals did it ☝️🤓

[hallow shadow]

Anomaly interference?

[wooden walrus]

logic is invalid if the originals did it, it's stalker lore

[wanton blaze]

Plus, we get Exosuits instead. I vibe with them a lot more than black Mollie gear

[lucid charm]

^yes

[hallow shadow]

Exo suits are quite “tacticool”.

[weary hedge]

modern day military arsenal>ww2 besides a few antique guns.

[wanton blaze]

I'd kill for a PPSH-41.

The pure magdump calls to me

[lucid charm]

FN2000 where are youuuu

[wooden walrus]

the originals had that stupidly rare hyperburst ak version, I think it's like, the ak-102?

that would at no point, ever, have been brought to the zone under realistic conditions

[hallow shadow]

Wasn’t there a P90?

[lucid charm]

I want my stupid goldfish gun

[weary hedge]

I don’t like bullpup rifles but that things sexy

[lucid charm]

No there wasn’t

[wanton blaze]

I think 90% of guns could end up in the zone based on what a loner tries to enter the zone with. Skif hopped a wall and tunnel, so a FN2000 could 100% get in somehow. Maybe not a lot, but a couple could get in

[weary hedge]

It’s a nato gun so for sure

[wooden walrus]

an-94*

[wooden walrus]

considering the ipsf in general, I think you could give a lot more lore viability to generally nato weapons, and the f2000 is not that far fetched

certainly less stupid of a choice than a mac10 for a coalition military force

[wanton blaze]

Personally blame the Merc groups for the Mac10s everywhere

[weary hedge]

I mean Mac-10s plague the world all over. Especially black markets hence why it’s mostly seen around bandits.

[hallow shadow]

There are also literal military patrols, and (private) Ward.

All that needs to happen is a patrol never makes it home.
Now, gear is everywhere.

[weary hedge]

& mercs

[wanton blaze]

I have to wonder if somekind of air drop is possible, not talking viable but what defenses would the Ward or IPSF pull to stop someone from paying a mainlander to throw some crates from a private jet or Cessna

[hallow shadow]

Doesn’t Ward literally fly in to Slag Heap?

[shell flax]

You just know there’s squads of mercs and bandits raking in cash taking weapon orders

[hallow shadow]

Isn’t the entire intro sequence an airborne manhunt?

[wooden walrus]

if we're talking lore, p sure you'd get emp'd hard if you flew at any altitude above the exclusion zone

[weary hedge]

For sure. That’s a real gig for people so wouldn’t doubt if that’s a big job in the zone 😆
