☢┃stalker-general

[shrewd needle]

Video for context.

[wooden walrus]

he mentions "discussing patch updates and leaks" on his video

which is yet another great example as to why having a youtube channel and being under NDA don't mix

[cosmic crystal]

The truth is... GSC got lost

Muted legit KKKKKKKKKK

[wooden walrus]

of course people will jump into the drama to push their own agendas

[stark crescent]

well, doih. half of their talent moved over to make metro. then they became bankrupt and had to start from nothing.

[river grove]

It’s not a secret engine update won’t come out till 2026, don’t see how he would be banned by mentioning that in a YouTube video….

[stark crescent]

its the same thing as with battlefield. wtf happened between battlefield 1 and battlefield 2042? ALL THE TALENT LEFT.

they had 1 guy to make the freaking UI, and it wasnt even finished when 2042 released

[shrewd needle]

He's been banned by Discord, not GSC, for 'spam and platform abuse'.

[shell flax]

One of his videos mentions talking to someone who might’ve broken NDA as well

[cosmic crystal]

I don't think GSC can recover. That's sad

[vapid holly]

so from that video, why are people blaming GSC for discord banning him for spam reports?

GSC does not in fact own discord nor does it control discord

[robust pendant]

Me when I accept an NDA and break it 2 seconds later:

[river grove]

What was the spam?

[wooden walrus]

have there been any announcements saying this?

[vapid holly]

discord bans him so people are blaming GSC? because reasons?

[meager crag]

Because reasons fr

[cosmic crystal]

BROOOO they did the Spam part you idiot

[vapid holly]

Discord requires several independent reports usually for action,

[shrewd needle]

Why the phuck would GSC spam? Are you out of your mind?

[hardy totem]

GSC spammed Dave to get him banned...?

[vapid holly]

also there is literally zero evidence of this conspiracy beyond one youtuber blaming GSC

[robust pendant]

Im sorry guys, I reported him with my secreet 30 accounts

[shell flax]

He got banned for ‘Spam and platform abuse’

[shrewd needle]

Also...WHO CARES ABOUT DAVE?

[cosmic crystal]

I ALREADY SAID: THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

[river grove]

Dave’s videos are top notch h and to the point will be missed

[shrewd needle]

They did not spam Discord to get Dave banned; no one cares!

[wooden walrus]

ngl, I was pretty annoyed with his constant misreporting

[cosmic crystal]

AND THE TRUTH IS THAT STALKER 2 IS TRASH!

[wooden walrus]

I hopefully was tactful enough to let him know without being part of the "abuse" he mentions, but god damn

[vapid holly]

You know what, I think it was the CIA that banned him from discord. Has as much evidence as anything else

[shrewd needle]

I mean, so is everything else, but I'm not complaining.

[meager crag]

Finally, you're speaking some truth

[wispy sundial]

And constant spamming of absolutely irrelevant sh*t

[hardy totem]

White name parade is wild tonight...

[visual mortar]

blahgargbagbsgarg

[cosmic crystal]

Will play The Beast. Bye

[hardy totem]

So true homie

[wispy sundial]

"Guys, Mol1t posted an emoji in the Discord. This has to mean I need to make a 10 min video now."

[raven monolith]

Game with Dave was my fav channel for breaking down updates and stalker news, shame he had so little material to go off of in the first place

[meager crag]

Like, honestly? If GSC had a problem with him, they could've just taken away both his Tester and Content Makers role. I don't see why GSC would ban them lmao

[wooden walrus]

he kept making nothingburgers, but I won't blame anyone for this. What did chap my balls is that he kept spreading misinformation that could have been very easily double checked before making a video on it.

[shrewd needle]

And GSC didn't, so the entire argument is BS.

[stark crescent]

4 times you said bye. are you actually going now or..?

[shrewd needle]

"NAH, BRO, STALKER 2 IS TRASH AND I WILL REPEAT IT 69,420 TIMES!"

[shell flax]

What misinformation? I mainly watch Vati for my info

[hardy totem]

GSC has nothing to gain from this kind of controversy

[wispy sundial]

I prefer videos having a bit more effort put into them.

[cosmic crystal]

NAH, BRO, STALKER 2 IS TRASH AND I WILL REPEAT IT 69,420 TIMES!

[shrewd needle]

SEE?! I TOLD YOU!

[bitter plover]

Vati is goat

[wooden walrus]

and the description of his latest video also does hint at the fact that he may have overstepped his NDA as a tester as well.

[visual mortar]

NAH, BRO, STALKER 2 IS AWESOME AND I WILL REPEAT IT 69,420 TIMES!

[cosmic crystal]

NAH, BRO, STALKER 2 IS TRASH AND I WILL REPEAT IT 69,421 TIMES!

[raven monolith]

What do you expect when you have to ho release a video every week about a game that rarely gets any new content or info?

[wooden walrus]

well that's the thing, he had no obligation to do so

[stark crescent]

just mute the guy already, he obviously aint gonna let it go

[meager crag]

Lmao

[shrewd needle]

Lock channel. Wait for everyone to fume out. Unlock channel.

[wispy sundial]

True, probably the best S2 news channel

[wooden walrus]

there was no reason, for example, to make a video saying "oh hey this polish game magazine seems to indicate that 1.6 won't come out until the end of november"

[wispy sundial]

and overall a good Stalker related channel. Love Vati, shout out.

[wooden walrus]

and the next day saying "well I might have been wrong" and two days later being like "oh yeah I was probably wrong"

like, bro, sleep on it, particularly if what you're going to report makes no sense and you have no solid evidence for

[meager crag]

But yeah, if you're just here to cause chaos in the chat and ruin the vibe, we can mute you and go on with our day

[shrewd needle]

Why are you still introspecting? Just mute and go on with our day.

[wispy sundial]

Simple. You don't release a video.

[raven monolith]

he sorta does, from a youtuber's perspective, you gotta upload regularly or you get outed from the algorithm. There again, he could've covered other games in the meantime. But that too messes with your algorithm.

[meager crag]

Multitasking

[graceful dirge]

I just wish GSC gave us more transparent updates overall, and then we wouldn't have to turn into feral snorks searching for meager breadcrumbs of info on the ground

[bitter plover]

Deffinitely. Honest work. Relevant info. He can do video rly often and still do some good info. And most importantly rly detailed info, not just few words

[wooden walrus]

I understand his eagerness to put out content, but this is a clear "quantity vs quality" issue here

[shell flax]

Depending on the severity, couldn’t he get hit with actual legal trouble if it’s a proper NDA

[shrewd needle]

#NeverSignNDAs.

[wispy sundial]

in other words people are malding because their favorite sloptuber got axed

[raven monolith]

Quantity vs Quality
meanwhile GSC has neither 😂

[still current]

Compromised account case went south into delulu land of conspiracy theories

[shell flax]

Wait his account got snatched? Or did I misread

[wooden walrus]

oh hey how did this get here?

[meager crag]

We don't know anything lmfao

But that's Rahmi's speculation

[wooden walrus]

if there's something worse than people spreading hearsay in their attempt to push out a video a day regardless of whether they have actual content to put on those videos, it's someone using this stupid drama to try and leverage their "gsc bad" narrative

[raven monolith]

epic gsc glaze

[charred nova]

LETS GO YOUTUBE DRAMA

SIGN ME UP BITCH

[wispy sundial]

You gon' cry about it, lil man?

[wooden walrus]

you're free to push your narrative, just have the balls to not have to use drama to do it

have a little self respect lil bro

[hardy totem]

All we have is Dave's vid, GSC's usual silence an our common sense. In a word we don't know shit

[charred nova]

all we do know is

GSC did not get that buy banned from discord

because thats fucken insane

[raven monolith]

Idc about the dave drama, we don't even know what he got banned over or if it had anything to do with GSC

Lil bro

[still current]

If it's a discord ban, his account will simply become a username case with all his details gone. However, it's not the case here. His account is still here, all his roles intact, and nothing is out of the ordinary. So, yeah, he's not banned.

[stark crescent]

DUDE GOT BANNED AFTER LEAKING SUPER SEKRET INTERNAL DOCUMENTS FROM GSC HQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wooden walrus]

aww the gsc glaze hurt your feelings? 🥺

[still current]

It's all yapping for now.

[wooden walrus]

good thing I don't have a youtube channel ig

[hardy totem]

Oh no, not the feefees

[charred nova]

like imbr

[fossil basin]

whatever the reason was, there goes my only decent english source of stalker 2 update news

[charred nova]

there is a ton a fucken ton to hate gsc for

[still current]

It's impossible. He literally has no legal responsibility and ofc, if anything could've happened, it would've been server ban with him losing all roles along side of it.

None of which is the case

[shell flax]

Vati has English text in his videos

[wooden walrus]

but yeah, I mean it's an unfortunate situation and whatever happened I do feel bad about dave getting a bad experience out of it

[charred nova]

but this seems like pure cope

[still current]

I literally tagged him and everyone could see

Here is another tag @acoustic orchid

[wooden walrus]

dude didn't have a bad fiber in his body, though imo he could have done things better

[graceful dirge]

I want to be optimistic but does anyone really think we are gonna get 5.5.4 a month from now with the minimal work & word we've gotten so far? I get there's for sure constantly that NDA background work towards it but I would think they would be hyping it up more if it were true, would be good selling point for PS5 users; I do think there's more credence to it releasing alongside first DLC rather than with the year anniversary regardless amidst the ongoing rumors

[still current]

How the fuck is that even possible if discord or gsc banned him off either server or discord itself

[charred nova]

hes literally online

[river grove]

Already have mind set to mid 2026 at earliest

[charred nova]

lmfao

its coming with the ps5 launch

[wooden walrus]

again, you keep saying this, do you have any proof for that?

[shell flax]

[robust pendant]

Hi Dave, sorry to have reported you 3000 times, love you

[wooden walrus]

I mean I'll be the first to say that the engine update will probably come towards the end of Q1 26 but I have absolutely no proof of it

[raven monolith]

so did he get banned off this server, or from discord altogether? Idk what you would have to do to get to that point

[wooden walrus]

I'm just being cautiously pessimistic

[meager crag]

Discord, apparently

[visual mortar]

oh damn

[meager crag]

Not even sure how he would be insta-banned lmao

[wooden walrus]

afaik last gsc's statement is end of year

[stark crescent]

cautiously? no! be chaotically pessimistic. force everyone to share your pessimism!!!!

[river grove]

Same, engine upgrades especially on a last minute thrown together game just to get it out the door…. It’s going to take time to get it right.

[charred nova]

the game is terrible it will be NEVER good

[shell flax]

[wooden walrus]

okay, but if gsc has said end of year, least you could do is at least say that you think it's gonna be this way

[stark crescent]

there are no good games any more!!!! unreal engine took care of that

[wooden walrus]

not that "everyone knows that" or whatever

[raven monolith]

I want to have the good faith hope that they will release a big update before the end of the year that will finally bring the game closer to what was promised from the very beginning, but I just don't see that happening

[shell flax]

I’m still trying to figure out if the guy thinks they announced the upgrade as they were just starting

[raven monolith]

I envy your child-like optimism. Miss when I was like that.

[wooden walrus]

A big part of dave's drama was that he was not checking his sources. If we all want to pretend like there's something to be taken from this gigantically stupid kerfuffle, is that we should at least make an effort to stay as truthful as possible

[river grove]

Everything I’ve seen very much guarantee it won’t be till 2026, and that’s the way it goes, cough cough

[wooden walrus]

I don't expect it to come out before the end of the year lol, but when I'm talking about when I think it's gonna come out, I'll try to make it clear that it's what I think

and I will point out what the official version is, and let whoever's reading me take their own conclusions

I'm not going to put words in GSC's mouth, I'm an idiot in front of a screen, they're the ones developing the game.

[feral gust]

I would like to think winter 2026 for the engine and dlc after that but with the snail pace of upgrades and improvements in this game, who knows

[river grove]

It’s ok modders can fix it

[visual mortar]

what about multiplayer

[raven monolith]

as soon as SDK gets updated 💔

[feral gust]

we don't talk about multiplayer

Stalker 2 RP

[river grove]

Reality was when originals first came out they where Janky ass, but at least the zone felt like a true living organism, if stalker 2 had that currently that living organism even with all the other issues for me it wouldn’t matter. Being in a real living simulated zone was what drew me to stalker when it first came out all those years ago even with the jank

[raven monolith]

Funny how it was confitmed the transition to new ue version would come along with playstation 5 release, but now there's not a single mention of it

[still current]

Imma leak it for you all if you all pay me enough prayers

[wooden walrus]

there has never been a confirmation of that.

[shell flax]

They quite literally denied this point blank what

[wooden walrus]

some people, including gamewithdave, spread the rumor that the ps5 teaser was on the new version of ue5. And I include on this because I'm a dummy that doesn't check his sources.

[river grove]

Oh you mean how the Alife discussion stoped and was taken off store pages just before release, nah it’s not a sign at all

[raven monolith]

Dave literally sai-

[wooden walrus]

right

[raven monolith]

Oh ok

[wooden walrus]

mol1t had to come out and confirm that none of the teasers were done in the new version and that there wasn't a date

[shell flax]

Speak of the devil

[bitter plover]

you can for mass spam report. Whch is probably exactly what happened

Another daily drama

[meager crag]

Make that one more

[acoustic orchid]

I assumed it could of been GSC I revealed 1.6 early and mentioned the engine update might be delayed until next year

[vapid holly]

so tldr literally a nothingburger

[vernal lily]

I don't mind pings from you pookie

[river grove]

Ya but engine delay is pretty obvious at this stage

[wicked magnet]

we need another leak

[stark crescent]

a nice drama to fill about an hour worth of your time.

[bitter plover]

Man, if you would be longe ro this server, you would know, that there were ppl here that muuuuuch worse things and still didnt even got ban from this server, let alone report to DIscord to make them ban you

[spring orchid]

We need to execute sidorovich.

[feral gust]

it was Sidorovich all along

he hates Dave

[spring orchid]

He was messing with everyones pdas

[still current]

There is absolutely no way you would get any sort of punishment without being dmed. You getting banned or whatever can not happen that easily, so it was unwise to think assume that. Well, either way, welcome back, and please try to clear out this matter to those who barged in swords in hand.

[vernal lily]

What drama did I even miss

[violet dune]

So the last stalker 2 video on your channel is not the last one?

So wouldn't this be Launch Day 3?

Always bro

[meager crag]

After release day tho? That's when the mess started

On release day, people spent their time playing the game

[weary hedge]

Wish I could speak on the bugs but I only ran into one soft lock for a side quest. Everything else was smooth on my end.

[lucid charm]

Listen man, I played it on the original Xbox one on release day and…yeah it was honestly pretty frakked, but it could have been worse

[wispy sundial]

We love you man! You definitely deserve more subs. They will come for sure.

[violet dune]

anyway Stalker 2 is now out of swamps and progressing towards better zone. with new 2JZ engine under the hood we might have greatness in few months

[meager crag]

On Day 2 and onward, they started complaining for playing an unfinished game that was released too early

[lucid charm]

And at least the story was there

[meager crag]

Eh

[stark crescent]

on release day, i was wondering why i could activate a feature limited to rtx 4000 and 5000 series on my rtx 3000. or why i could activate simultaniously FSR and DLSS, and XEss, all at the same time. i was also wondering why it took over 2 years to deliver my super deluxe physical edition.

[lucid charm]

Would you believe me if I told you the only actual game breaking bug I experienced was getting trapped under an elevator that didn’t have the time to load in properly

[meager crag]

You sure you weren't playing Fallout 4?

[lucid charm]

Fallout 4 would have benefited HEAVILY from a fallout 3 style green filter

[meager crag]

YES

[wispy sundial]

Well, true. I understand that. I do think you put enough effort into your content that you deserve higher numbers.
As for me, I am always looking forward to your detailed breakdowns whenever a new patch arrives, so can't wait for your vids on 1.7, 1.8 and 2.0.

[royal torrent]

Hi guys ....does anyone know where stalker trilogy went from ps store?

[plucky pebble]

Will ps5 pre orders offer the dlc?

[fervent island]

GSC always had "glazing".
Just see the people glazing the trilogy, the cancelled S2, or the other cancelled projects of 2009-2011, just this is bigger with HoC, but, GSC had that since 2007.
For me, GSC with S.T.A.L.K.E.R always was smth like "cut this by...uhhhhh" or downgrades every year, only S2 2010 wasn't a downgrade and HoC itself compared to S2 2011.

[spark cypress]

Thanks!
Glad you like the content!

Thanks, I did Google but I thought this was just announced

[spark cypress]

And pre-orders bonuses in every edition

[plucky pebble]

Ah crap, ultimate must be expensive

[spark cypress]

But gives Season Pass

[plucky pebble]

I mean, physical

[robust pendant]

Maybe ask in #legends-of-the-zone too

[plucky pebble]

Because that's the one that is expensive

[frigid hill]

gordonsf has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[robust pendant]

Also, https://youtu.be/4q5ba5wqwOo?si=UXXdBcs-xo8ml8c1&t=46 0:45, theres a frame drop on the trailer

At least they are honest lol

[plucky pebble]

Ultimate digital seems a good price. They should have it in a middle physical package

[tall depot]

is there a good stalker 2 wiki?

[hallow shadow]

Stalkers. I haven’t been able to check my box, today.
Did GSC upload more Mods for console?

[shell flax]

Not today

[hallow shadow]

Shucks.

[raven monolith]

I think there's just a difference between glazing the game and glazing the company. Despite all my complaints, I greatly enjoy S2, and always look forward to playing it a little at the end of the day, but I don't get the mindless defending of GSC's practices. Like it's so controversial to say they underdelivered, because every time someone's gonna make excuses for it in their name.

[hallow shadow]

“Foul Stalker, in search of the Wish Granter. Emboldened by the flame of anomalies. Someone must extinguish thy meager flame. Let it be Scar, the Fell!”
-Elden Zone

“Boss, the location of the Artifact has been marked on your iDroid. Use your Fulton Device to extract it to Mother Base.”

[fervent island]

GSC can make it better, yes.
The dev team and that are good but persons like the directors of the project... well, aren't soooo good.
And if GSC wasn't working on two DLCS HoC possibly would have less bad thingis and more integrated thingis since the release.

[meager pebble]

very excited to play Stalker 2 on PS5 Pro in a month

i dont know much about the stalker games tho i do have the older games installed on my ps5

but im excited nonetheless

[hallow shadow]

Stalker 2 goes hard.

Oh. I got more added to my name.
Yo.
Mods. Who’s duping me?

[stark crescent]

be sure to let us know how it runs.

We the PC players were kind enough to beta test this game for you for a year

[vernal lily]

lmao

[hallow shadow]

Yesterday it was just Johnny Rico. Now I’m [Doing my part]

[hallow shadow]

I’m actually A lvl 5 Mewtwo

Actually. I ain’t shit, I’m just being polite.

Oh shucks. My truck needs an oil change. I can smell her, out here.

[meager pebble]

will do!

i atleast know its a heavy enough game that my steam deck oled cant run

[meager pebble]

atleast i dont have to compile shaders

[weary hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/troopers-responsible-helpful-doing-my-part-gif-11496062726020391529

[meager pebble]

thats one part of pc gaming that bothers me whenever i launch the last of us on steam deck for example

[topaz grove]

Im not saying PS5 is bad, I'm saying that its annoying that we got an unfinished game and PS5 will get a more polished one (still not finished tho)

[raven monolith]

I think some of my complaints with Stalker 2 might be just me having had a different vision of the Zone than the game portrays

[coral shadow]

still in alpha

[hallow shadow]

Someone got promoted!
Should I be saluting, you, sir?

[coral shadow]

The thing that you should be angry at is that theire advertising an unfinished game

as a full functioning normal game

[topaz grove]

It's technically finished though

[hallow shadow]

Can you put my name back to normal?

[weary hedge]

You were a higher rank then me in something more important, so I salute to you, sir

[weary hedge]

If you want

[coral shadow]

no, many parts of the game are cut

Upper regions of the game have 1 or even 0 side quests

[hallow shadow]

Please. I never asked for it to be changed.
I do t know who did it, and I’ve only been secretly pretending to be ok with it.

[meager pebble]

no i get what ur saying

[hallow shadow]

Thank you!

[robust pendant]

You are basically saying that every game is unfinished.
Because yes, every single game has had cut content

[vernal lily]

Tec got gif perms now, run

[weary hedge]

No problem

[meager crag]

Lemme check in the logs for you

Kuro

[vernal lily]

How does it feel being immune to slowmode

[topaz grove]

I wish I had a PS5, I had to wait a million years for Uncharted and TLOU to get ported to PC, my favorite games...

[hallow shadow]

Daaaang. Is this what it’s like watching your Specialist friends get promoted to Sergeant?

[meager pebble]

i have 2 PS5s

[weary hedge]

Sadly I am not immune. That is a senior thing apparently 😆

[coral shadow]

Oh god now comes a guy which will debate anything i say and defend the game at any cost.

Stalker 2 is visibly cut and unfinished

[hallow shadow]

Kuro? I barely ever interact with Kuro.

[meager crag]

Kuro is just quirky like that

[hallow shadow]

Why would they do that to me?

[meager crag]

I dunno

[meager pebble]

i grew up with consoles most of my life and in 2020 i got a PS4 then a PS4 Pro and now i have 2 PS5s (Base PS5 and PS5 Pro)

[meager crag]

It's Kuro

[weary hedge]

But the gif perms are appreciated

[meager crag]

Never question Kuro

Only his sanity

[vernal lily]

Damn they changed that? Last time I was mod I was immune for being a regular mod.

[meager crag]

That should be questioned

[hallow shadow]

I can’t wait for gif perms.

[meager pebble]

i do want to build a PC but its not ideal right now

[hallow shadow]

I’m level 41? 42?

[robust pendant]

dude I'm not defending it because I havent even touched S2 with a stick at 1000km of me, cause I dont have the game and likely never will for like 5 years. It just seemed like you were saying that the game was bad because it had cut stuff, which every single game had

[coral shadow]

Awe

[meager pebble]

@topaz grove also yes TLOU was one of the few first games i played when i got my PS4

also the PC port of TLOU still isnt the best

[weary hedge]

I’ll send ur gifs don’t worry bro

[coral shadow]

oh mb i thought you had another type of yellow role

[weary hedge]

Plus u are pretty close

[meager pebble]

tbh i could have played Stalker 2 on my Series X but idk i just preferred waiting for the PS5 Port

[robust pendant]

and who is changing my name lol

[meager crag]

But yeah, it wasn't me who changed your name and made it based

[hallow shadow]

Danke schön!

[robust pendant]

lol

[hallow shadow]

My name is based.
Mewtwo is based.

[meager crag]

Not as based as Deoxys

[robust pendant]

I will find you, name changer, for being so nice!!!!

[hallow shadow]

Maybe not. Mewtwo represents something that I resonated with as a kid.

[wooden walrus]

edginess?

[topaz grove]

Yeah, but the 2nd game has a very good port, played it on High-Ultra without any upscalers

[meager pebble]

i have both games on Steam but ive only tried the first game on my Steam Deck

[hallow shadow]

“I see now that the circumstances of one’s birth is irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life the determines who you are.”

[vernal lily]

We got new UA mods too, I don't think I have seen BlackLion as mod, or maybe I was blind

[meager crag]

We figured we needed a second Lion

Seen how I'm not that well versed in Ukrainian

[wooden walrus]

hey, so all cool and all but please don't change my nickname

[meager crag]

And we decided to do a black one for diversity, you know how it is

[wooden walrus]

I know it's hilarious and all but please don't do that and change it back, if you don't mind

[hallow shadow]

“When hope turns to fire, it is the dream of the oppressed to be come the oppressor.”

[meager pebble]

so is the story of stalker 2 connected to the previous games do i need to know things beforehand?

[meager crag]

So, these recent name changes

[hallow shadow]

Oh. You should play the trilOG first.
Don’t be like me.

[meager crag]

I dunno, it's usually me, but it's not me this time (At least, not all of them)

[wooden walrus]

are a clear example of mods overstepping boundaries and maybe a meeting is in order

[meager crag]

So I guess it's either Tampon or Tec

[hallow shadow]

I’ll be Sky Marshal Skif

[vernal lily]

It helps to know some lore, it you are not going to play the trilOG

[wooden walrus]

not the first example of mods overstepping boundaries but maybe the first sign that someone needs a talking to.

[vernal lily]

Tampon

[weary hedge]

[hallow shadow]

Adeptus TECanicus

[meager crag]

Would you rather be a fluffy lap dog or the fluffy pal god?

[wooden walrus]

I would like my nickname to be changed back to Ottomic and not messed with further, thank you

I will change it if I want to.

[hallow shadow]

Hey guys. It worked for me.
Can he ask nicely, and get his name back too?

[meager crag]

Yeah, nice

[hallow shadow]

Please?

[weary hedge]

He must ask kindly and be nice

[hallow shadow]

OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN

[meager crag]

Ooo, Tec getting power hungry already

Goooood, let it corrupt you

[hallow shadow]

“Now, beg.”

[lucid charm]

Would you kindly ask nicely

[meager crag]

Okay, what do I have to ask?

[charred nova]

Now tec demand money to unban chatters

[weary hedge]

Just a little banter. He was being mean to mewtwo

[coral shadow]

And you wanna shoot me in the back? Pffff.
I’m haunting everyone involved.

Mickey didn’t. The Rookie was captured and executed by an Insurrectionist leader

I should honestly replay Yellow one of these days

[harsh jungle]

Gen 4 is HG/SS

[meager crag]

Nope, G4

[hallow shadow]

Ahhh.

[meager crag]

Along with Diamond/Pearl/Platinum

Then yeah. 3 and 4 are my favorites. Aside from X/Y, OR/AS

I think that’s G6.

Where'd Gajunas disappear to? And how long have you been masquerading as the Lion?

We haven't even spoken a single word about this with each other

[weary hedge]

I didn’t change mewtwo. I changed ottomics once

[meager crag]

[hallow shadow]

No. My name was changed, last night.

It was added to, today.

At least you're still around, Crimson. I miss the old days, NGL.

[meager crag]

Don't worry bro, let's just hope Mol1t understands the situation

But yeah, best to let your audience know as well

of the ones I've come to contact with I'd say Rahmi, Tank, Lion, Jack and Glorp are cool

and I have no idea what his name was when a mod but I'm sure Faust was cool too

[meager crag]

Faust

[shrewd needle]

I haven't found anyone uncool except for Jack.

[vernal lily]

Nah, I sucked

[hallow shadow]

I don’t really dislike any of them. Maybe other than how wishy-washy Jack can be.
Otherwise, I have no true gripes about this place.

My game keeps dashboarding me at the top of the cooling tower 😭

[weary hedge]

Are you on Xbox series s

[empty hare]

Yes

[hallow shadow]

Don’t do it, anymore. It will always happen.
Sincerely, Series S player

[weary hedge]

I don’t think it can handle loading all the distant textures

[empty hare]

I figured thats what it was

[hallow shadow]

That tower is something we can’t do. If you’re hunting for Dnipro, I recommend Red Forest bunker.

[weary hedge]

Mewtwo has experience

Once upon a time on a journey for the dnipro

[empty hare]

Yeah i had initially planned on going there but stopped by to get the S-15 so i figured id just kill 2 birds with 1 stone while i was there

Time to start walking west

[hallow shadow]

We will crash at the top of that tower, and climbing up to talk to Voronin.
Can’t sleep in Cement Factory.
We will also crash when reaching the top of the stairs on the “For Science!” Side Mission in Chemical Plant

Also, Series S will start to choke during prolonged stays in Rostok.
Do your business, there, quick.

[lucid charm]

So I figured out a workaround for cement factory, you can test it out yourself and share if it works.
Instead of going right into the Barracks, wait in the corner of the landing before that doorway and open your menu. Let it wait for a second, then proceed normally or slowly.

[empty hare]

This worked for me

[meager crag]

Ayo someone changed Mewtwo's name again

I’ll try it out. I’d like to actually meet duty.

[wooden walrus]

I mean hey, every day it passes we're one day closer to the engine upgrade

whenever that ends up being

[lucid charm]

Where either a lot of problems will be fixed, or the game will crash so hard nobody will try to recover it

I can’t wait lmao

[hallow shadow]

North of the actual plant, there’s a loner doing some experimenting. Asks you to help, and bloodsuckers ambush you.

[wooden walrus]

oh yeah no it'll go down in flames guaranteed lol

[hallow shadow]

He rewards you with his dead buddy’s malachite pass.

[wooden walrus]

but yno, no change like a drastic change

[lucid charm]

Ohhhhhh yeah, that location has some problems. The pause thing worked for me though

[meager crag]

https://tenor.com/view/ok-and-ok-and-caption-trade-gif-21164436

[hallow shadow]

Hmm. I’ll test it there, too.
But yeah. I always crash at the top of those stairs, too.

[weary hedge]

Technomancer eh?

[hallow shadow]

Dang. I got got, again.

[lucid charm]

Word of advice, go to that location immediately before trying to solve the nearby stash puzzle with the teleportation anomalies. If you don’t the game won’t be able to handle the rapid load and will crash

[hallow shadow]

I didn’t know there were… Dang.
I always just go straight to that guy, and Charlie Mike.

[meager crag]

Fixed it 4 U, bro

[lucid charm]

Another thing that I found works sometimes is dropping a save on the stairway, so that when it crashes, the surrounding area loads in WITH the save file, essentially jumpstarting the process

I want to post in warhammer

[wooden walrus]

kinda messed up ngl, though the fact that this game manages to run on consoles is nothing short of a miracle iyam.

[vernal lily]

[wooden walrus]

do you guys also get the drops to 30 fps in hubs? lol

[vernal lily]

My pc without geforce now gets 1-0 fps all the time

[meager crag]

It's literally just me posting stuff and nobody being interested lmao

[vernal lily]

[lucid charm]

Pfff drop? The game is capped at 30fps on the series S right now…honestly that’s fine by me. I don’t really need it to be higher if it means it’s stable most of the time

[wooden walrus]

I mean, even considering how games run nowadays, I'm sometimes lowkey jealous of the pop in and play nature of consoles

maybe monster hunter wilds wouldn't have been such an abhorrent experience if I had to just settle with a given set of options instead of getting intimately familiar with exactly how shit it runs on every single level.

[lucid charm]

Mo modification mo problems

[wooden walrus]

yeah it's kinda like knowing that the game can run better makes it feel worse

[lucid charm]

It’s easy to complain about settings you can change as opposed to settings you adapt to

Thing is once you adapt, it doesn’t look that bad most of the time

And once it DOES run super well, it’s a breath of fresh air

[wooden walrus]

right, you just get game and get busy gaming

[lucid charm]

Lookin at you cyberpunk. Went from the Xbox One to the Series S and it felt like a whole new release

Spent actual hours just retaking it all in because of how smoothly and beautifully it ran

I hope to someday have that experience with stalker 2 as well

[wooden walrus]

it's honestly crazy how many games run like profound ass nowadays tbh

and/or require a computer well into the 4 digits to run okay

won't stop them from selling them for 80 bucks though

[lucid charm]

A few days ago I set up a kill zone, where I dropped some stalkers, then left them there, went to an elevated position with a silenced SVD, then had 4 groups pass by at different times, loot, then get dropped as they looted one after the other. In the end I only had to loot 4 guys for 16 guys worth of gear

[lucid charm]

Best part, I was silenced the whole time so no negative faction rep

Any real person who doesn’t immediately spot the killzone deserves a bullet to the empty braincase

“Oh wow, there’s three squads dead right on top of eachother, that’s not weird at all, let me try and hope it goes better!”

Romance dlc

[worthy dagger]

Does any of you have an issue with hte game that suddently becomes very laggy for no apparent reason? I usually play at 80 FPS but sometimes it bugs out and it gets very laggy, consistently at 20 FPS

Nah everywhere. It just gets slow, very slow for no apparent reason

I had to restart it just now because it started eating my entire ram

Like 23gb out of 32gb. Then I start the game, and it gets this lag issue again. No it's a 1080p one

Game basically froze and it started consuming tons fo ram

Honeslty just hoping next updates fix this poor performance. Game plays fine for a while but then has these issues that come out of nowhere. PC also doesn't overheat, thermal paste is 1 year old and was correctly applied and GPU is fine sitting at 60ºC. Theres no reason for these perf issues

Well screw it, tried playing it again and crapped itself out again. Stuck at 23-30 fps for no reason

Gonna stop playing it for today, growing tired of these constant performance issues .-.

I'm still trying to figure out if is Unreal Engine just straight up garbage or are devs not doing any optimization at all

[mighty cave]

Thanks for the answer!

[shrewd needle]

Quiet's side-mission is unfunny; I can't believe a former Monolithian would just sell dangerous technology like that + Sidorovich being an ass about it.

[hallow shadow]

Quiet doesn’t actually have to handle any of it. He just gets a cut, and some business out of it.

I mean. I can see why a Nooner would probably not want to sell a Psi-Installation.

But. I can also see why the budding Trader of a budding (doomed) faction would try to score some business with the surrounding area.

[robust pendant]

Can you give me your graphics card specs and at what settings (more specifically textures) do you play the game?

[hallow shadow]

Although. I bet the Nooners would have a better time contracting Loners from Zalyssia. Given Gaffer’s presence.

[robust pendant]

cause this seems like textbook vram leak issue, because of insufficient vram

[hallow shadow]

As far as Trade and whatnot. The Nooners can do their own jobs. They’re Nooners.

But they’d probably get better deals and quality out of trading with Zalyssia instead of Sidorovich.

[shrewd needle]

Regardless of being a Noontider or not, a psionic installation is not a toy to be played with. And whoever's buying will do just that.

As if the Monolith aren't enough...

[hallow shadow]

You’re not wrong.

[shrewd needle]

Hamster's no better than Sidorovich, except Sidorovich is openly sarcastic and will be blunt to the point.

Hamster is a nice-talking ass who'll rip you off much worse (and leave you to die).

[hallow shadow]

Psi-Radiation.

Hamster is much more easily dealt with than a fat man in a bunker.

[shrewd needle]

Right, but Sidorovich is far more reliable. Hamster changes his allegiances much more easily (can be seen when the Monolith attack Zalissya).

[hallow shadow]

A couple of Nooners show up, in Rookie Village? Sido closes his door and laughs.

A few Nooners show up in Hamster’s shop? He won’t be willing to swindle shit, anymore.

If I was Hamster, I wouldn’t be willing to scam guys who could chase me through an Emission.

[shrewd needle]

Nah, Sidorovich would still deal with 'em. Hamster wouldn't, that's the thing.

When the Monolith attack Zalissya, Hamster has to be threatened by Skif to comply, whereas as long as money's involved, Sidorovich WILL do his part.

[hallow shadow]

Hmmm. Fair. I never got that far.

I still hate that fat fk.

What is the arena daredevil role?

[vernal lily]

Probably some event that happened in the past

[shrewd needle]

Exactly...Hamster is just a POS, whereas Sidorovich will just stare down anyone trying to screw around.

[shrewd needle]

Oh, everyone does. But that's the thing...Hamster and Sidorovich are both assholes, but Sidorivich is VERY reliable as a trader, whereas Hamster isn't.

And Sidorovich is a practical man who'll make the most of a situation, whereas Hamster is a slime-bag who's out only for himself.
