Are we talking price, availability?

[shrewd needle]

How is it shit? Isn't it a spitzer bullet?

[vivid valve]

As an owner of multiple guns, I agree with this☝️

[ionic verge]

Jail, for the crime of shooting homeless people.

[wild epoch]

Like actual weight for the caliber being a pistol/submachine gun made round, it's heavy.

[charred nova]

isn't it lighter than 9mm

[vivid valve]

Wth

[charred nova]

no political figures

[wooden walrus]

I mean it's famously a very slim cartridge

[ionic verge]

Eh, Stalkers can manage.

[vivid valve]

Lame

[shrewd needle]

Wikipedia says:

The 5.7×28mm cartridge weighs 6.0 grams (93 grains)—roughly two-thirds as much as a typical 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge—making extra ammunition less burdensome, or allowing more ammunition to be carried for the same weight.

So it's actually lighter than both 9 X 18 and 9 X 19.

[wooden walrus]

but also all 5.7 weapons can cram a stupid amount of ammo per mag so I guess it ends up being heavy

[charred nova]

a good problem to have

[vivid valve]

You’d be surprised how heavy your chest rig starts feeling with just a few mags in it

[vocal wave]

guys how did I lose the green icon for barkeep at rostok 😮

[shrewd needle]

The P90 weighs 2.6 KGs, while the MP5 is 2.54 KGs.

Which, I guess is with ammunition?

[winter summit]

I’m on a boring 2.5 hour drive.

Would someone like to send me interesting stalker lore videos or something.
I havnt played the games yet and wanna get into the lore

[wild epoch]

Let me reiterate, the capacity that these rounds are carried at make it heavy.

[charred nova]

2.5 hour ROOKIE NUMBERS BUDDY

[wild epoch]

^ this

[winter summit]

I know. I did a 24 hour drive once.
This drive is only 5 hours total but still

Entertain me lol

[vivid valve]

Texan here, 2 1/2 hours is cute

[meager crag]

Just a heads-up, see the Trilogy and STALKER 2 as separate canons. HoC has some pretty funky retcons

[winter summit]

Piss off im driving from one side of Florida to the other 😂

[wild epoch]

I can throw it in a circle, such is the will of the monolith

[ionic verge]

I still wonder how a Spartan can hold 660 rounds of 7.62NATO, 10 rockets, 68 14.5mm rifle rounds, and 132 12.7x40mm handgun rounds, not to mention 8 grenades.

[winter summit]

You got any good lore videos or sum?

[meager crag]

So the question is, which one are you interested in?

[charred nova]

i can't think of any

[shrewd needle]

Because weight limits in games make for unfun games.

[meager crag]

Trilogy or HoC

[vivid valve]

A fellow American 🫡

[vivid valve]

A Spartan is a super soldier

[winter summit]

Damn straight. Florida man here wishes he could vote for AK guy

[charred nova]

the worst drive i ever did was 12 hours or so

[winter summit]

Me?

[charred nova]

i left work at 3:30pm and arrived at virginia to buy some car parts at 3:45am

by the end of that drive i wanted to kill my self

[ionic verge]

I know, I know. It's just crazy that a spartan like Master Chief runs around carrying all that ammo.

[charred nova]

plus i knew it was virginia so i couldn't speed even if i wanted to

[meager crag]

Yeah, seen how HoC has introduced some funky retcons, you should basically just consider both as separate universes. That's why I'm asking which one you'd like to know more about

[ionic verge]

Brandon any day.

[winter summit]

What does HoC mean

[vivid valve]

Rip to the halo series, good memories

[shrewd needle]

GTA protagonist (at least in GTA V) can carry around 30 weapons, including heavy ones + ammunition. 😏

Without powered armour.

[charred nova]

halo is over

[ionic verge]

Heart of Chernoybl.

[winter summit]

And by trilogy do you mean like the stalker games

[charred nova]

halo has not had a good game is over 10 years now

[wooden walrus]

HoC Tua

[charred nova]

its simply over

[ionic verge]

True lol.

[robust pendant]

HoCtober fest

[weary hedge]

Is there subtitles in trilogy enhanced edition? Also it’s Ukrainian version of HoC any different from English ?

[robust pendant]

and yes

[winter summit]

Honestly send me a video educating me about both 😭 I know nothing

[ionic verge]

Oh yeah we know. Halo Infinite was a turd sandwich at best.

[charred nova]

can't even ask bungee to save halo now

bungee is a rotting corpse walking

[vivid valve]

I think they wanted Halo to take off like Warhammer but it just didn’t keep its hype. Whereas Warhammer is probably more popular than it ever has been.

[winter summit]

What’s the difference between trilogy and HOC? Are they not in the same universe?

If you can send a video or videos that explain that the differences between both or something send it cause I’m trying not to read my phone right now. I’m driving.

[wooden walrus]

yes, 2 takes place 10 years after Call of Pripyat approximately.

[charred nova]

I don’t even know any good stalker lore videos

Gaj would know

[meager crag]

Anomalous Dugout has some good lore vids

[vivid valve]

It’s not that deep of a lore tbh

[winter summit]

I agree I just don’t know any of it

[ionic verge]

Bungie hasn't been bungie since Halo Reach. That was honestly the last good main entry. Halo Wars and Halo Wars 2 were goated imo. And so were Reach and ODST. Infinite was a turd sandwich like I said. Halo 4 and 5 were just terrible.

[winter summit]

Ok interesting

[charred nova]

yah halo is just over

[wooden walrus]

Grimbeard has pretty entertaining videos on the two first games.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4FIEZ2aKFw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6Ul8-FRW60

[vivid valve]

Bungie hasn’t owned halo in like 15 years lol

[wooden walrus]

not exactly lore videos but he goes into the creation process and has a plot summary for each

also he is legitimately fun to watch so hey

[charred nova]

that channel is based

[meager crag]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coIFssPeJpA
The part about 2011 and onward is spoiler territory

[shrewd needle]

S2 lore is simple: Depressed man loses home and wrecks the Zone in pursuit of it.

[weary hedge]

Skifs is simple. Everything else not so much

[shrewd needle]

Everything else is even more simple: The lore is screwed.

[charred nova]

skif is about as interesting as a sheet of dry wall

[wooden walrus]

yeah that's the thing, like, the actual lore of stalker is supposed to be like a mindfuh moment in the first stalker

[weary hedge]

I find it funny some of it is actually inspired by fans. Pretty cool tho

[robust pendant]

even the trilogy lore is inconsistent, although mostly well put together

[vivid valve]

Skif kills or outwits basically every stalker legend

[meager crag]

This is true as well

[robust pendant]

the only good lore is SoC and thats it, and whoever says otherwise is wrong idc git gud

[charred nova]

and he couldn't even get the emotional tone of his dialog right half the time

[vivid valve]

I liked the actor tbh

[meager crag]

Sorry to hear you've got the objectively incorrect opinion bro

[robust pendant]

also, for amnesia, this seems actually true, there was lore that was either taken from the community or inspired by it

[meager crag]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/561153801114091521/1092159492021563473/ClearSkyMyBeloved.gif

[robust pendant]

don't worry, I know I'm right

[weary hedge]

GSC literally posted a video about this, just saying.

[shrewd needle]

Trilogy lore:
CS: Sick mercenary tries to avert death.
SoC: Amnesiac man tries to find himself at a twisted Aladdin lamp.
CoP: Military man tries to pick up the pieces of everything.

[meager crag]

Nuh-uh, you're Groudon

[robust pendant]

I am Groudonion

[vivid valve]

I mean, every other protagonist has these goals and directions in the zone and skifs just like I’m getting paid back for my house💪

[meager crag]

https://tenor.com/view/joost-klein-europapa-luchtballon-onion-joost-gif-4451189226682837711

[wooden walrus]

stalker is a series built on "hey wouldn't it be cool if" moments

[robust pendant]

actually, yeah

[charred nova]

stalker 2 was built on member berries

[wooden walrus]

with not a whole lot of care in trying to smooth it over afterwards

[charred nova]

member monolith...........

[shrewd needle]

Skif is basically John Wick since John Wick 3.

Homeless, good with weapons, punching through everything.

[charred nova]

member scar.......

[robust pendant]

I have to say tho, even if I haven't play S2, I can confidently say that the story of CoP is the worst

[vivid valve]

Truth

[charred nova]

TRUE

actually no

hoc story is worse than cop

[wooden walrus]

stalker 2 is a game shackled by having to pander to a fanbase that wants to clap when they see it.

[robust pendant]

I cant believe that, and I havent even played it

[weary hedge]

CoP wasn’t even bad. Just barebones as hell

[meager crag]

CoP is a pretty decent Fallout NV mod tbh

[charred nova]

its the most phoned in of the trilogy

[shrewd needle]

Good game-play and refined with least bugs, though.

[robust pendant]

not even barebones, its just that it disrespected both past games

[wooden walrus]

I think it would have actually been a much better idea to basically be like "yeah in 10 years the zone is basically unrecognizable and 90% of the characters in the previous games have either died or left"

[charred nova]

not really its just super safe

and lacking in content

[wooden walrus]

have a token character like sidorovich or something, but rest just burn it all

[meager crag]

But at least it has the most polished stats for weapons and armor

[weary hedge]

Exactly. It would make a good dlc instead

[shrewd needle]

Uh...then how do they explain shit from past games for those who haven't played the trilogy?

[robust pendant]

but even in the safe territory, military people just finding out about anomalies in the sky and then strelok being like "acktually 🤓 " and then trying to help them is the most non-sense I've seen

[charred nova]

i think there needed to be an alternative route where you stopped the activation of the monolith

[meager crag]

They don't

[vernal lily]

I was also about to say that

[shrewd needle]

That...does not help.

[wooden walrus]

I don't think the story of the game is necessarily a bad thing, however its pacing is super weird

[charred nova]

it felt like it was orginally gonna be an option

[wooden walrus]

having that set at the very end of the game and maybe set it up as a cliffhanger for future content or games would probably have been a better idea

[shrewd needle]

HoC is bad not because story or whatever, but because you lose guides all over. 😔

[charred nova]

and they just cut it out at some poin t

[shrewd needle]

This is HoC's true problem. 😔

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-mewing-mew-cat-mewing-mewing-tutorial-mewing-cat-gif-495067373805540650

[wooden walrus]

I mean, idk, I feel like it is pretty integral with the entire "people trying to control the zone" plot the game wants to have

[charred nova]

not really

[wooden walrus]

however it is true that its placement in the plotline renders noontide completely inconsequential

[charred nova]

because per the lore

with no c con

there is no monolith

so the monolith should not return until someone steps inside the pod

at the end of the game

[meager crag]

Except Scar did le funny

[shrewd needle]

I'm pretty sure the Wish Granter is pre-programmed for that.

[vernal lily]

@shrewd needle you ok homie, what happened to your name

[shrewd needle]

Moderator aboose.

[charred nova]

the wish granter would send commands from c con

[wooden walrus]

fraid I can't stick around for that as I haven't gotten past duga and I somehow managed to stay unspoiled for an entire year despite this cropping up on the discord like twice a week

[shrewd needle]

Doesn't mean it wasn't automated, though. I'm sure that there'd be automated systems and protocols in function too.

[vivid valve]

Need… dlc… 😔

[meager crag]

True, DLC for CS

[charred nova]

need the game to be finished

[wooden walrus]

but ynow just so you understand my sudden disappearance

Metro is a whole different tier of game though

[dull osprey]

why are they all british

[charred nova]

the orginal games voice acting was janky but that was part of the charm

[lucid charm]

The original trilogy’s voice acting is bad sure, but at least they sound right

[charred nova]

not relevant

Like, fine if you're going to talk about the lore of a modded game, but at least SAY you're talking about the mod's lore, not treat it as the lore of the actual game lmfao

[vapid holly]

Eh I think it’s pretty obvious that while they announced it they only started working on the next elder scrolls after starfield

[primal nimbus]

I saw a pic of factions and who they chill or not chill with. According to it, Mercs and Bandits are friends. That made me question if its mod lore or actual lore 💀

[fallen haven]

Hi, just checking in and saw a LOT of changes including mods and night vision. Are there any new weapons introduced to Stalker 2 like mosin or ppsh?

[primal nimbus]

Just mosin and 1911. no ppsh.

[fallen haven]

Thank you! Would love to see ppsh, but 1911 is nice!

[primal nimbus]

No problem. However, for the PPSH, we have to introduce 7.62x25mm and I doubt GSC would add any of that

[fallen haven]

That makes sense. Maybe sks. If they do add 7.62x25, they should add nagant revolver and totarov as well!

[primal nimbus]

Unless mods do that

[fallen haven]

Fair enough

[hallow shadow]

Whoever made the mod “English Zone”, thank you.

That shit helps so much.
For the longest time I would just tell myself, “Fk me, I guess. I’ll never know what this graffiti, or these signs say.”
You’ve doubled my ability to take in environmental storytelling.

Side Note: Bartender Sells All goes Brrr

[true loom]

Was there a recent hot fix or something? The game has severe input delay again for some reason, but it felt fine a few few days ago.

[primal nimbus]

Yoooo

[true loom]

😐 I actually felt like I could shoot things normally. It feels like I’m pulling teeth again.

For gods sake. It’s always something with this f—ing game.

[hallow shadow]

Hm?

You made it?

[primal nimbus]

No. I don’t even understand Ukrainian lol

Unless its lines like:
“Za Monolitho!”

[hallow shadow]

Bro. So like I made it to the cutscene with Scar and Star. On the way to Wild Island.

When the zombies come in, there’s graffiti on the wall they come through.

It’s Spark propaganda.

[primal nimbus]

Oh god

[hallow shadow]

It makes everything English. Signs on buildings. Text on posters and books.

You get to pick up on so much more with English Zone.
That Mod Author is (among the rest) a hero.

[primal nimbus]

A hero we all needed

[shrewd needle]

You're behind me.

I see the name has changed again

[vernal lily]

What do you mean, it has always been like that

[wild epoch]

Know what, you're right, it's always been like that.

Belligerent alcoholic is wild🤣

I hate you all so much... 😔

[primal nimbus]

Nah why the name change 💀

[vernal lily]

What name change

[shrewd needle]

'Cause they like trolling me.

Also, didn't expect the Claw in Zaton to be a damn psionic anomaly now...I thought CoP's Claw was bad...

[primal nimbus]

Imagine going to a group of Stalkers around a night campfire, and one of them has that name lol

[vernal lily]

That probably be me tbh

[shrewd needle]

True.

Also, fun...I somehow am stuck with psionic radiation even after getting out of the Claw. Thanks, game.

[hallow shadow]

Wow. Someone is playing pranks on Amnesia.

[shrewd needle]

Guess I got the permanent bug and am taking permanent psionic pills from now. Another save ruined.

[hallow shadow]

Better wipe and start over.

[shrewd needle]

They hate me too much.

[oak junco]

[shrewd needle]

It took me a few weeks to clean the map off loot, so not happening. I'll just live with it.

Take psionic pills every once in a while and I'm good.

[dull osprey]

use mods

[hallow shadow]

It’s like the Malaria mechanic from Far Cry 2.

“Grandpa needs his meds”

[shrewd needle]

[vernal lily]

Speaking from experience?

[fallen haven]

So I see the blind dogs can still be able to divine when you are on a surface they can’t get to and know to hide behind cover that they somehow are able to perceive without sight…

lol

[shrewd needle]

He does.

[fallen haven]

Might have misspelled, but you know. To predict, supernaturally detect?

[weary hedge]

They can do that. They are canine bats

[fallen haven]

But to see that you are on a surface they can’t get to?

I’m just saying that out of all the mutants, the dogs are kinda of bs. Especially compared to previous games

[hallow shadow]

They can smell that you are up there.
The cowardice wafts down from your high ground, Obi-Wan.

[fallen haven]

Oh my

[hallow shadow]

The way they run and hide isn’t what bothers me. But I also hate the dogs.
Least favorite mutant.

[hallow shadow]

My issue is how they know you are aiming at them and proceed to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge.

[fallen haven]

I can understand that

[hallow shadow]

You aren’t actually a coward. I hate fighting dogs.
Whatever it takes.

I got the “Focus Aim” mod literally just for Dogs/Bayuns.

I gotta say. Makes some engagements go down a little smoother.
It’s a game changer, for sure. But it’s like FO4 VATS, and you can still take hits.

[fallen latch]

I hate how they fan out and attack from all angles, as well as the fact they sit at your feet draining your health

[hallow shadow]

It also drains Stamina at a decent rate. You can hold it for a while. But not forever.

[fallen latch]

Effin sucks

[hallow shadow]

My normal way of dealing with dogs is to kite them to friendly NPCs.
Or, bait them through a doorway, spin around and send buckshot into the threshold.

[fallen haven]

That’s what I try to do for blood suckers. I will give it a try

[hallow shadow]

If you can make any mutant chase you, you can get the upper hand.

Once you get the space/time. it’s over for the mutie.

[fallen haven]

Doing a fresh run

[hallow shadow]

If you’re playing with mods, and on console. Get the “Focus Aim”

[vernal lily]

I did that with a pseudogiant. Other mutants started joining in, including other stalkers. They all died.

[hallow shadow]

I’m serious. It REALLY cuts down on dogs and rats being a pain.

[hallow shadow]

Hell yeah

[vernal lily]

Pseudogiant lived tho, and kept chasing me. But when I decided to shoot at it, took only a few till it died.

[hallow shadow]

Dang.

I be luring mutants, man. Eff those things.

Bartender Sells All is awesome.
I’m just now about to leave the Detention Center to rescue Star’s men.
Already wearing a Falcon.

I’m just gonna buy myself some overkill. Be funny about it.

[coral pond]

How do I sprint in an exosuit in stalker two

[twilit osprey]

Hi all

Someone here said that I couldn't skin mutants IF my game was modded........This is not true

I added two mods last night and I can skin mutants just fine

Just an fyi, I was told this last night

[dull osprey]

upgrade it

[boreal gyro]

duty exo can't get the sprint upgrade

[coral pond]

I tried upgrading it, but I can’t see the upgrade anywhere

[boreal gyro]

others can

[dull osprey]

which exo is it?

[coral pond]

The red one

[boreal gyro]

unluckyt

[dull osprey]

you can't upgrade that one to sprint

[boreal gyro]

the spark version of the ssp-100 is my fav suit before getting an exo

that or the bulat

[agile dragon]

I doubt It'd be helped here, but anyone here play Anomaly?

[coral pond]

So wait, which ones can I upgrade?

[dull osprey]

any exosuit but that one

[boreal gyro]

supposedly the duty exo is the easiest to obtain so they don't let you upgrade it to sprint, which sucks because sprinting is infinitely more useful than a bit more weight capacity and physical resist

[fickle hill]

The Jageruirass

[boreal gyro]

the apsb pistol runs out of durability so damn quick

10 mags through it and it's down to 66% durability

[fickle hill]

Is that unupgraded or fully upgraded

[boreal gyro]

not upgraded

but no other gun loses durability that quick

[fickle hill]

Well the MPK

[boreal gyro]

what's with the bs extra damage that burer-controlled guns do on veteran difficulty

70% physical resist and i die in one burst

[fickle hill]

Burer is rich so he is using 50 cal

[oak junco]

❤️

[vernal lily]

[robust pendant]

Theres a discord for anomaly especifically, you should ask for help there to get more details

[shrewd needle]

Firing guns on fully automatic does that.

[shrewd needle]

Vanilla?

[agile dragon]

can you Dm me a link to it? I couldn't find it on the public listing

[robust pendant]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly

Scroll down and you'll find it

[agile dragon]

thanks

[boreal gyro]

i also love the burer mechanic where they make your gun fall out of the world so you have to reload the save

[shrewd needle]

Bonus points if you lose the Gauss Rifle.

[dull osprey]

#bartendersellsall

[shrewd needle]

I'm pretty sure the Gauss Rifle is not available for purchase anywhere.

[dull osprey]

it is with mods

[shrewd needle]

Fair. Not for me, though; only 4 Gauss Rifles in the world anyways.

Not counting the ones dropped by Monolith, but not counting those either ways.

[south osprey]

Will update 1.7 bring game optimization?

[hallow shadow]

“His weed really was magical. It made him, and my coupons disappear.”

[south osprey]

is the game always gonna be 150+gb

[shrewd needle]

Uh...yes?

[hallow shadow]

That being said.
Guys. These dudes holding Star’s men hostage are not having a good day.

[shrewd needle]

You're still at the factory?

[hallow shadow]

Yeah. I’m taking time. Looking around. Grinding for cash. There’s a mod that gives every bartender the ability to sell every item.

I may only still be at the factory. But I’m at the factory, and I bought a Falcon Suit from Warlock.

[south osprey]

what happend to the old 5.5gb stalker ._.

[dull osprey]

what happened to loving games

[south osprey]

I am trying to love it, that's why I bought it.

[shrewd needle]

Welcome to Unreal Engine 5.

Welcome to modern, photo-realistic games.

[hallow shadow]

What I really need is a Sam Fisher themed set.

[south osprey]

but dammit 150gb is insane o.o

[shrewd needle]

This is why 150 GB.

[south osprey]

yeah it indeed is UNREAL

[shrewd needle]

Nah...it's just gamer demands.

HL2 graphics were good enough, but everyone just needed the photo-realism.

[hallow shadow]

Elden Ring is quite pretty. I don’t think that’s a 150gb game.

[south osprey]

I'm about to drop a gamer word.

[primal nimbus]

Gamer moment

[shrewd needle]

I mean...San Andreas fit on a DVD and offered more than GTA V (a 120 GB game).

[south osprey]

and with mods it can look better than GTA V

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/modern-problems-solutions-dave-chapelle-gif-13450651

Modern solutions = bloat.

[hallow shadow]

Could be an “engine” thing. Could be a “western developer” thing.

[south osprey]

last I checked it had that DirectX 3.0 mod or something.

[hallow shadow]

Starfield is too damn big for how damn bad it is.

Also. Oblivion reskin is Unreal… Just… Just look at it.

It’s gross.

[shrewd needle]

Well...modern games = photo-realistic, which costs the most space and performance.

No one likes HL2 graphics anymore. 😔

[primal nimbus]

Excellent question

[hallow shadow]

Forever on a quest for knowledge.

[vernal lily]

That was always his name

[deft pollen]

so stalker 2 just froze up at 82.8GB of RAM usage

after like 2 hours of play

[wanton blaze]

I will always prefer immersive over realistic any day.

Plus we NEED to talk about how unoptimized modern games are. What tf happened in the past 15 years that games went from optimized and stable to even top end rigs have issues

[weary hedge]

Games are built on money instead of passion

Always nice to get those that peak through like silksong tho

[shrewd needle]

Unfortunately, not like we get a choice.

[shrewd needle]

Moderator aboose.

[shrewd needle]

Yes, that's called a memory leak. Reboot the game.

[vernal lily]

[sick phoenix]

Anyone prefer the more "Untamed Frontier" setting of the OG trilogy rather than the tamed zone of S2?

Cause ngl, I stopped playing after the Richter cutscene ontop of the crane in Garbage

[humble owl]

if you miss the exam you got another chance

[humble owl]

it is my future that i will be stuck with

[weary hedge]

We don’t do that. We offer a pre-test instead

[humble owl]

well yeah and that still gets put as a grade

and guess what 6 10 9 9 gets you

[vernal lily]

Sometimes it better to trip and fall then learn from that, than to never trip and keep running away

[humble owl]

ill trip in the zone

[weary hedge]

That’s rough. I was aloud to practice as much as I wanted before hand

[humble owl]

i will go make misself a blob in the zone if it means transfering to wherever you are

SO ANY IDEAS OF SKIPPING?

[vernal lily]

If you can get away with skipping class then it is your choice, just know you can't keep doing that in the future. Or your problems will catch up to you.

[vernal lily]

If you fake that much times then it's going to start looking suspicious if you start doing other things

[shrewd needle]

That is...problematic.

[wanton blaze]

I graduated about 10 years ago. I miss school some days. It was so simple back then

[weary hedge]

Aye im smart about my business. You cooked urself lil bro

[humble owl]

[weary hedge]

At the end of the day it sounds like you need to go to school

[wanton blaze]

Dude if you put as much effort into studying as you are trying to get out of this exam, you'd pass with flying colors

[vernal lily]

Nowadays, if you miss one day it's like missing 572058201 years of work

[shrewd needle]

[humble owl]

ill just make an incission on my arm and break a glass just to look like i fell and broke a glass

[ebon blade]

Before class, you need to eat something really creamy, like chicken and dumplings or some soup.
Then at school, stick your fingers down your throat, and throw up in the hallway or a class before
the one with a test. A teacher will give you a note to go to the Nurse's office or something similar.
You can rest there and miss the class you have a test in. After an hour or so, you can say you feel
better and return to class. You don't have to skip, and you have a good excuse for a makeup test.

like whenever you feel the need for alchohol just water pinch of salt and vinegar

[weary hedge]

Give them to the homeless

They will love you for it

[shrewd needle]

Wanting to cut your hand just to avoid a test sounds like a cognitive problem. No one should be helping you with that.

[humble owl]

might be yeah

[vernal lily]

I ain't giving my Kruto to a homeless guy

[humble owl]

cut but just surface level

[weary hedge]

Lmao. You do you 🤣

[humble owl]

im not that crazy

[shell flax]

Give em to a coworker you don’t despise as a gift

[vernal lily]

[humble owl]

gtg to school ty for the advice and see yall

[shrewd needle]

You are if you're wanting to do all this shit to avoid a test instead of just...doing the test.

[humble owl]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WISE WORDS WIZARD OF THE ZONE

[weary hedge]

Tejas is Gandalf

[shell flax]

In this case, Saruman

[weary hedge]

Lmaooo

[humble owl]

if a bright future costs me a scar ill do it any day

[shell flax]

‘Bright future’

[shrewd needle]

Avoiding a test is not a bright future, it's a skill issue.

“Alright, Boss, we’ve marked the location of the Bloodsucker Nest on your iDroid. Your objective is to sneak in, and use your Fulton Device to extract one to Mother Base.”

[humble owl]

i got good grades so ye

[ebon blade]

Get a prescription for Naltrexone (Vivitrol) or acamprosate.

[vernal lily]

I don't think I am that close to anyone at work for me to give them a 1.75L of vodka

[humble owl]

i can take it later for a better grade not getting a good grade is a skill issue

[shell flax]

Those grades definitely won’t be good for long if you miss major tests

[humble owl]

i wont it just that i havnt prepared for this one

[shrewd needle]

Now I know where current generation kids fail at life...

"I don't have the balls to do it now so I'll just delay it till it piles up and buries me for good."

[humble owl]

im last gen there are new 5th graders

[hallow shadow]

I do my best work under procrastination, thank you very much.

[humble owl]

i dont think you got it, if i study one day i can get much better score

[hallow shadow]

It’s called A u t i s m.

[humble owl]

and it still studying so ehats the problem

[shell flax]

Rewatching the intro cutscene is always funny to me

Mainly how effortlessly Skif folds Hermann like a wet towel

[hallow shadow]

I got bad grades cause I didn’t do homework. I thought it was a sham.

I could out-test anyone, really. I just didn’t care for the rest.

[weary hedge]

If you don’t pass ur tests you will end up like scar lil bro

[humble owl]

oh that isnt me one bit

[shrewd needle]

Already is. Can't get more scarred than that.

[humble owl]

it this one time and yall make such a big deal out of it

[vernal lily]

I was a similar type of kid when I was in school. Didn't do shit, but aced everything else.

[humble owl]

ill become a barman so ill do smth

[weary hedge]

Everything matters whether it’s just one test or not. But ur young so you haven’t fully grasped that concept. Tho I hope you will soon

[vernal lily]

But eventually I did start and actually doing assignments because I didn't want to lower my gpa. Acing the test on major exams can only bring up your grades so much.

[humble owl]

i agree on that

[shrewd needle]

Only takes one step wrong to fall off a mountain.

[humble owl]

i think ill get in some trouble but a good grade is in the end a good grade

also kids at school and proffesors judge only based on grades so whats the point

[shrewd needle]

If you're willing to compromise once...well...who knows what else you'll compromise on?

[hallow shadow]

So, the Mag-Fed Cracker got moved?

[humble owl]

lol

[hallow shadow]

Or is there more than one, now?

[weary hedge]

Life is fragile. Treat it as such

[humble owl]

ill break it appart to reconstruct it into something better

[hallow shadow]

Cause it used to be, Mag-Fed Cracker was reward from checking Diode’s Lab.
Now, I find it at the bottom of the facility that Star’s men were at the bottom of.

[weary hedge]

Until ur missing some pieces and end up sculpting a pile of shit ur unhappy with.

[shell flax]

It’s not a unique
There’s more then one

[empty hare]

Or you realize you spent more time making life what you think you want than living it

[hallow shadow]

Fair enough.

[vernal lily]

Think about why you end up in this situation. And make a plan or something, actually write it down. Helps you keep on track with something physical to look at. With how many times you already faked being sick I feel like it has already became a habit for you. Don't let that continue. Starting a habit is easy, breaking it is difficult.

[weary hedge]

Depends what ur goals are and how you view things. I’m simply telling this kid to get his shit together.

[humble owl]

i want to grow an old barman with no children thats all

[hallow shadow]

Get a vasectomy.

[humble owl]

i miss one test this semester and suddenly im going down? how does that make sense

[empty hare]

True, i just spent a lot of time in my youth trying to manage life into being the way i thought it should be instead of actually living it

[vernal lily]

skipping one thing can make you skip another. So essentially it can make everything go down.

[weary hedge]

Let’s not forget the fact you talked about harming urself and how ur mommy things you got some sickness because of how much you use that excuse

[humble owl]

i get good grades and do my work so when i miss one test i lose my knowledge or smth.

[humble owl]

that was a joke

not a funny one

[hallow shadow]

I had a professor once tell me, “You wanna skip? Fine. Go ahead. Make sure you burn fifty dollars.
That’s how much your tuition you’re wasting. A day.”

[humble owl]

but it was in the form of an ironic joke

[weary hedge]

Sure but you were actually asking for help but treated it like a joke

[humble owl]

your help no my ideas yeah

[empty hare]

It creates a standard within you that makes shirking responsibility permissible. once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern and patterns are hard to break

[humble owl]

also true

[hallow shadow]

I got tagged by the Mods.
I barely noticed.

I wanna be Mewtwo again.

[humble owl]

but if i got rid of other addictions this one will be piece of cake

[vernal lily]

I honestly can't tell if a joke about self harm is fake or not. Given how many people has come to me with their problems in the past, and many aren't alive right now.

[hallow shadow]

Guys. Pls. Help.
Gooby y u do dis?

[weary hedge]

Still, if you want help don’t tell people ur gonna go harm urself if you don’t get something figured out.

[empty hare]

You mean school?

[humble owl]

how many times do i gotta say it was a joke

[hallow shadow]

The FBI came and fired me for a joke.

[shrewd needle]

Not something you joke about.

[hallow shadow]

So like. Watch your mouth, little bro.

[weary hedge]

I don’t care. That’s something that’s a serious issue in today’s world.

[humble owl]

alr i gtg see yall nice chat

[hallow shadow]

Legit. I got investigated, and fired for making a bad joke.
Don’t let it happen to you.

[shrewd needle]

This is why I hate today's kids on the internet.

[ebon blade]

What? Are you 10?

[hallow shadow]

No, I’m 5!

A level 5 Mewtwo

[empty hare]

This. There was an older guy (mid 50s) in my city that posted something on Facebook about wanting the US president dead. He was confined to his home under secret service observation for 3 days when the president visited the city almost a year later due to the SS/FBI having taken notice of his post

[hallow shadow]

But hey. Whoever changed my name spelled it all nice and proper. Can’t even be mad.

[weary hedge]

There were people in my high school who actually took their own lives so when I hear that kind of stuff I think it’s just disrespectful and worrying.

[ebon blade]

You deserve a badass adult name.

[hallow shadow]

There’s a FLETC near where I live. I was armed security there. Gate guard, and cop stuff on a fed-base.

There was some BS going down at the Gate, and I said “This is how active shooters start.”
Bam. I’m out of a job in 48hrs.

[hallow shadow]

Sky Marshal Skif

[vernal lily]

I also rather take it seriously and try to help. Than having the possibility of them actually dying or something. I would just live with the fact I didn't help when I could. Terrible guilt I still have even though it happened years ago.

[shrewd needle]

IKR? It's not even funny.

"OMG, I don't want to do a test so I'll cut myself."

I can understand not wanting to do the test (system sucks), but like this? Instead of simply getting it over with and growing up to work towards fixing it, this is what they do.

Hate 'em.

[humble owl]

i know it wasnt a funny joke i just wanted to say what my mind was thinking

mb

[shrewd needle]

See what I mean, Zev? Needs a psychiatrist, not a doctor.

[hallow shadow]

Sometimes I just be voicing the intrusive thoughts, too.

[ebon blade]

Let's change the subject and move on to something new.

[humble owl]

but where is the money for it?

[weary hedge]

I get that. And I hope those thoughts don’t stem from something more serious. I just hope you know that’s not a good thing to just spout.

[vernal lily]

Add dating Richter to the game

[humble owl]

yeah that was my bad i understand

[shrewd needle]

Introspection helps.

Does GSC have plans to continue their momentum with this Xbox Mod updating thing?
Can I hope to see more, later this morning?

[vernal lily]

[humble owl]

it would if it was free

[empty hare]

I sure hope so, id love to see more stuff get added for us console plebs

[shrewd needle]

Nothing stops you from introspecting.

[hallow shadow]

Introspection is free.

[humble owl]

HELL YEAH

[humble owl]

i think i got it confused with somstjing else

[hallow shadow]

But. Look, you’re angry.
That’s why you’re not hungry.

[shrewd needle]

Scar moment.

[shrewd needle]

Ironically, Skif is the most voracious eater in the Zone.

[humble owl]

what is introspecting?

[hallow shadow]

Looking in at one’s self.

[weary hedge]

I’m sorry you had to go through that. Losing friends isn’t easy.

[humble owl]

i think i got it confused with something else

[hallow shadow]

That’s fair.

[shrewd needle]

Starting with a dictionary.

[hallow shadow]

How am I wrong?

Or is semantics the hill you want to die on?

[spare canopy]

It's what happens when you bring kids up in bubble wrap.

They can't cope with anything.

[vernal lily]

What a cutie

[hallow shadow]

Also. The stats on Sotnyk tell me that it’s more accurate than a Kharod.

Having fired the base version of Dnipro and Kharod… Idunno.
Chat. Is this gun worth it?

[vernal lily]

If a Noontider tells me to stop drinking then I am sober day one no cap 😩🖐️

[shrewd needle]

Way too true, man.

[hallow shadow]

I got me some Bartender Sells All, and a bunch of Koupons burning a hole in my pocket. I’d rather buy a gun than artifacts. I plan to remove the mod, anyway.

[hallow shadow]

The Nooners are such good boys. My heart breaks for them.

[shrewd needle]

Not you...I mean him. So he can learn what 'introspection' is and use it.

[hallow shadow]

Ohhhhhh. Yeah.

I was like, “bro. I’m right. I said it funny, but I’m right.”

[shrewd needle]

And I was like, "Why would this man think I'm correcting him when he's right?" 😆

[hallow shadow]

Still. Homies.
It. Sotnyk. As. Accurate. As. The. Stats. Say?
Is is that just cause of all the gizmos and gadgets on it?

All them extra bells and whistles.

[shrewd needle]

Suppressor makes weapons more accurate (for obvious reasons).

[ebon blade]

It was so strange to find an Ecologist dead out in such a far place.

[shrewd needle]

There's more in the Scar. Same as the Yantar Scar.

[humble owl]

oh btw sorry for anything ive said anything bad

[hallow shadow]

Is that a 2x? On a Saiga?
