Cause that’s really all he had to do.
Was raise his PT score.

[weary hedge]

If I was in the military id like to be a special snowflake and skip boot camp

Id probably just pt till I drop anyways

[hallow shadow]

Boot camp was the funniest shit I wasn’t allowed to laugh at.

I wonder what Ward Boot looks like.

[shell flax]

Honestly probably like marine boot

[weary hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/army-military-push-up-push-ups-exercise-gif-16500143

[hallow shadow]

For the Ward? They aren’t that hard.
They’re like… a private army.

[hallow shadow]

Bro, I hated pushing in full kit.

[weary hedge]

They are basically national guard

[shell flax]

Gameplay and story segregation

Remember in lore they’re enough of a threat to scare the factions into playing nice as long as they can or will enforce the treaty

[hallow shadow]

And not to like. Dismiss your input.
Skif was UAMC.
Canonically, he makes the Ward look bad.

[hallow shadow]

ALL HAIL THE NAST GIRLS

But for real, I deployed with some NG Engineers.
They built our FOB.

From up in the northeast.

[shell flax]

Also it probably depends on your rank in the Ward how bad Korshunov runs you through the grinder

[hallow shadow]

Korshunov is the grinder.
That bald nerd goes hard.

[weary hedge]

Exactly

[shell flax]

Imagine being the Ward captains, they probably got full on personal training

[hallow shadow]

But guys like Zotov do redeem their image, a bit.

[weary hedge]

Average egghead with a power trip

[shell flax]

I.e Korshunov gave them a Brock Lesnar style beating and told them to keep trying

[weary hedge]

Reminds me of some of the MPs I used to work with

[hallow shadow]

Yeah, but his entire Power Trip is gas-powered and recoil-operated.

[hallow shadow]

Hell yeah. MPs suck.
Fk the MPs.

[shell flax]

No job hates themselves more then people who’ve worked said job

[hallow shadow]

Korshy has a choking fetish.
So does Dalin.

[weary hedge]

I’ve met some decent folk who were but I’ve also met some really bad ones

[hallow shadow]

For real. I’ll shit on the MP Corps all day.

[shell flax]

With Korshunov honestly I think as long as you don’t stab him in the back he won’t be a complete asshole

He’ll still be an ass but he won’t be someone like Hermann

[weary hedge]

I mean if you put this korshy guy next to ur average marine it’s not even a comparison. Korshy is not level headed enough

[shell flax]

If you stab him in the back you’re getting the Guantanamo Special though

[weary hedge]

Do they have gyms in the military?

Or is it just wilderness pt all day?

[weary hedge]

Marines has a lot of gym options, army not as much but it depends what ur doing or if ur active or reserve.

[hallow shadow]

Wait. Hermann is an asshole?

[weary hedge]

Suicide squad here

[hallow shadow]

I won’t be able to beat, or afford the game after it drops off gamepass.
Why is Hermann bad?

Spoil me, brothers. I will catch up, later.

[shell flax]

He’s the one who sold you out, not Solder

Hell, he conspired with Faust to blow your brains out and steal the scanner

[weary hedge]

He’s also an obstacle to sircaa and lives within Dalins shadow

[hallow shadow]

Depends on your MOS, or branch.
The Marines will do whatever they can to maintain peak form.
The army follows its silly rules, but I was an MP.
Our scheduled shift work had us using gyms more than conventional PT.

[hallow shadow]

I didn’t know that. I was prepared to blame that all on Faust and shit.

[weary hedge]

Faust is actually one of the more tame people in the series lmao

[hallow shadow]

Ahhhh.
So, his helping me was for his own gain?

No wonder that bastard could just drive through an emission.

[weary hedge]

Despite his philosophical talk

[hallow shadow]

Faust weirds me out.

[shell flax]

Faust is the nicer one of the two

[hallow shadow]

But now I know to harbor no grace for Hermann. Poor Solder didn’t deserve that bullet.

[weary hedge]

He’s like a phantom tied to the zone

[hallow shadow]

He’s like my nuts, stuck to my leg.

[weary hedge]

Wiggle it a lil

[hallow shadow]

The funky step every man masters as a teen.

[weary hedge]

This why I don’t fuck with the heat

[hallow shadow]

Yo, what?

[weary hedge]

Happens to me every Tuesday

[hallow shadow]

I’ve taped Lieutenants to the barrel of a tank.
But ive never glued a man’s pecker to himself.

[shell flax]

The instant the hand gets near me it’s a fight to the death

Wrong message but you get my point

[hallow shadow]

I’ve also photocopied my asshole 200x.
But that’s because that motorpool was unsecured, and unattended.

[weary hedge]

I wanna murder people when they do pranks

[hallow shadow]

So. Be me. (Story incoming)

[shell flax]

You’d go insane in the military then

[hallow shadow]

Young PFC Schwartz is on Mid-Shift… Finds a motorpool unlocked.

[weary hedge]

Nah facts. Bro would not last the first day 😭

[hallow shadow]

Instead of calling the unit… I go in, clear the building and make sure I’m the only intruder.

When I’m done.
I find their Copying machine.
Unbuckle my belt, drop my pants. And sit on it.
I run 200x copies of my Dirt Star with the words “I love unsecured Motorpools” and spread them all over the site.

[shell flax]

I lived off base with my mom as a kid for like a year

I still vividly remember a drunk soldier trying to dropkick his own windshield in screaming something about chickens and support cups

[hallow shadow]

The next day? During Guard Mount (police shift briefing) we get reports of “unidentified persons vandalizing motorpools”

MPs are assholes.
I would know. Mine was all over Ft Stewart for like a whole night.

[hallow shadow]

SUPPORT CUPS

[weary hedge]

Fuckin hell lmao

[hallow shadow]

I had to chase, and catch a guy (drunk) running all over post with a knife.

Dude was hiding under lamp posts. Said he couldn’t be in the dark.
Slenderman was after him.

[shell flax]

Mop the rain and sweep the sunshine

[wanton blaze]

Ever have to chase wildlife off post?

[hallow shadow]

I’ve also been slapped. By two people.
Yeah. Two ladies got away with assaulting an MP, cause he deserved it.

[weary hedge]

Most dudes can’t handle their alc and it’s fucking hilarious

[hallow shadow]

Kinda.

Never chased. I’ve rescued a couple animals.
I’ve killed a few Hogs. (With a patrol vehicle)

[shell flax]

The base I lived off of had a soldier ND and hit a random pigeon

[hallow shadow]

I’ve had an ND, downrange.
Wasn’t my fault. But I almost hit some allied forces.

[shell flax]

In front of the base commander

[wanton blaze]

At an old site we had not only a family of 8 deer but a pack of geese get inside a barbed wired fenced area ment for semi trucks only. I pulled short straw on those to on herding them out. The site maintenance team thought it was hilarious but the cardo wasn't

[hearty tendon]

LMAO this reminds me of when we had to stand duty at my Battalion to keep an eye on this raccoon taking a nap on top of an awning

[weary hedge]

Damn near almost got a dishonorable discharged 🤣

[hallow shadow]

I’ve climbed a tree for a cat, in Germany.
I’ve saved a fox from the middle of the road in Germany.
I also OC Sprayed a Raccoon on Ft Stewart. (Along with myself and a family of three)

[hallow shadow]

I went to go check on some guys in a guard tower.
They half-cocked the M240.
When I dropped my helmet on the desk, it went off.
Over the heads of some Jordanian SF guys.
NOT HAPPY

[weary hedge]

God damn dude. What did you get hit with?

[hearty tendon]

Now why in the world would they do that with a 240

[wanton blaze]

I legitimately dont know how the deer got in, cause the only real entrance was at the guard shack I was in. There were 2 chained closed gates on 2 other corners, one for a firelane and the other a maintenance gate for a water pump.

Had to walk the fenceline looking for holes and found nothing. They just gmod spawned in somehow. And yet there were the most civil group I delt with that night also

[hallow shadow]

No paperwork, actually.
The one who improperly handled the weapon got cooked.
I just had to give a PMI on every single weapon system we had.

I’ve also saved a small pack of baby hog, in Germany.
Their momma got flattened by a Bradley on its way to the fuel point.
Ironic, me saving some baby pigs.

[weary hedge]

Dumbasses. Jesus.😂

[dreamy dagger]

Day 353 and I'm in the Warren's Shack already lacking words here what to say, damit....

[hallow shadow]

Because they were effing privates. Medical privates pulling guard duty.
They didn’t even know what a 240 is chambered in. Let alone the dangers of Half cocking an LMG.

[hearty tendon]

I got a few stories I really wanna tell but I'm afraid if I tell them here I am going to be telling them to my 1st Sgt next week

[hallow shadow]

Nah.

I was an MP, and I was generally down with the shit. As long as no one died.

[shell flax]

If anything it’ll be the higher ups who found out if you actually get in trouble

[weary hedge]

No worries. Its just that they are always watching

[hallow shadow]

The commander would hear, first.
The 1SG just handles the punishment.

[shell flax]

The base commander lives in your insulation

[weary hedge]

Lol

[hallow shadow]

When the trees start speaking AR 670-1

But I speak fluently in 3-22.68

[hearty tendon]

Once upon I time me and my buddies had to explain to the Battalion commander why we were sticking cut up energy drink cans inside of 81mm mortars, apparently the Battalion we were visiting did not take too kindly to jerry rigging firing pin gages

[hallow shadow]

IM SO HAPPY THAT DIDNT BECOME A CRIME SCENE

Oh, hey. Does anyone remember (circa 2016/17) when an Airborne unit dropped a HMMWV on a base (from the sky) in Germany?
I was there, for that.

[wanton blaze]

I do have another story from the gatehouse I love.

The site was a Produce refrigerated site. A hub for local grocery stores freeze sections storage. It was mid August, temps over 100 during the day. A guy pulls up to the guard shack with a dry goods trailer. Tells me he has Frozen Pies. I have to verify his paperwork and he has the right manifest but the wrong trailer, but he swears up and down he is ready to unload and is out of hours and calls me several swear words Wolf would ban me for saying.

Had to call a site manager who let the guy on, specifically to ban him. But when the open the trailer, about 4 inches of melted and racid pie filling spill onto the main floor of the warehouse. About $30k worth of frozen goods ruined cause the loaders in Louisiana didnt check the trailer type.

[hearty tendon]

We decided to go check out a video borescope after we managed to avoid the fallout of that situation lol

[hallow shadow]

Hoooleeee shit.

[hearty tendon]

Good lord

[hallow shadow]

Had to answer to a scene where a Grunt thought someone was shooting at him through his barracks door.

[shell flax]

30k

Those guys who screwed up got black bagged, ain’t no way

Like, they’re just gone

[hallow shadow]

Turns out. Some Infantry private goes and buys a 9mm, off post.
Doesn’t register it.

He’s playing with said gun, in his room. Blows a round out the door. (Yes. Even doors get “exit wounds”)
He was smart enough to show me his gun, but I couldn’t find ammo.

I had another MP search his car. He had a box of 9mm, with a round missing.

[floral pawn]

Hey, everyone. I hope all is well.
I've been away for a few updates, and I do use a molded game. I don't remember this being an issue.
Whenever I ADS with a weapon, I get an "offset sight change" [ALT] prompt as well as hold breath prompt. I can disable the "hold breath" prompt with a mod but not the Ofset sight one is there a solution it is driving me nuts.
If anyone can suggest anything, I would be grateful.
Thank you

[hallow shadow]

I don’t believe the HUD is that intricate, yet.
We have to deal with that particular prompt for the time being. As it’s pretty new, for the whole game/community.

[wanton blaze]

What's funnier is the driver left the trailer on the dock and broke the gate to leave. So that almost got the cops involved but his contract company just paid for repairs and trailer recovery themselves after a couple phone calls. Dude ironically got in MORE trouble than if he stayed. The food is insured to a degree, he wouldn't have been at fault.

[wanton blaze]

A single round? That sounds ominous without context

[shell flax]

broke the gate

This dude was a Class A Shitter wasn’t he

[hallow shadow]

Yup. Dude was just playing with his gun. ND’d into his own front door.
Went to go hid the evidence in his car.

[floral pawn]

@hallow shadow Thank you figured as much. If you don't mind when was it introduced and is it like that for everyone. I went crazy going over my UI mods thinking it was on my end

[wanton blaze]

100%. Work a truck gate any time you will be called every slur in multiple languages or meet the nicest drivers on the planet. There is no middle

[hearty tendon]

I've had WAY too many people get caught with unregistered guns and have to check them into my armory while they sort out the whole process of whatever shitstorm they got into

[hallow shadow]

Offset came in with 1.6.
So, maybe sometime after 1.7 you’ll have the opportunity to change it.

Otherwise, I’d find a UI mod.

[floral pawn]

@hallow shadow Thank you

[hallow shadow]

Most (barracks) folks are required to register a weapon in their units armory.

HOUSING folks jut have to register at thevMP station.

However, every MP treats every home as if there is an unregistered weapon inside.

[hearty tendon]

We had a random glock sitting in our cage for a while, and a luger came through at one point

[wooden walrus]

I mean

[hallow shadow]

Shhheeeeiiittt.
I have a new glock.

[wooden walrus]

if you have to get caught with an unregistered gun, why not make it a luger

[hallow shadow]

Because there are sooo many better guns to break the rules for.

As a former enforcer of rules.
I can tell you what’s not worth it.

[wanton blaze]

Wait so, if you register it you can take it into your barracks room or does iy stay in the armory?

[hearty tendon]

It has to stay in the armory

[wooden walrus]

I mean, it depends. I think toggle locks are just mwah 😙 👌

[hallow shadow]

Like the time o got to smoke a whole brigade.
I “Front, Back, Go’d” an entire formation. On shift.

[hearty tendon]

They get their own rifle cards for it and all that, and a whole bunch of paperwork signed by bnco

[hallow shadow]

For pulling Fire Alarms.

[wanton blaze]

Pulling fire alarms. Were they 12

[hearty tendon]

They did that like every week in my old barracks

[hallow shadow]

It was torture, actually.
Story incoming.

[hearty tendon]

Always somebody pulling the fire alarms

[weary hedge]

What do fire alarms do when you pull them

[hallow shadow]

So. I’m on shift. And some 4th BDE turds decide to run all across their region of post. Pulling barracks alarms.

I couldn’t track them down. So I called my Desk Sergeant. Got the number to the Brigade Sergeant Major.
Had him assemble his whole host. (In the barracks)
He turns around, passes me the formation and says “If I let you do this, there will be no paperwork.”
“Yes, Sergeant Major”

And I proceeded to ask the entire formation “who did this?” They wouldn’t say.
So I smoked them until they sold out who did.

[hallow shadow]

They trigger a series of responses by all emergency services in the area.
Wasting money, and time.
Fraud, waste, and abuse.
BIG no-no in the army.

[hearty tendon]

ATTENTION, ATTENTION, ATTENTION

[weary hedge]

Fire alarms release purple paint to mark who pulls them

[hallow shadow]

Front! ….
BACK!
GO!

[hallow shadow]

Depends on the alarms.
Not these old building.

[wanton blaze]

How much smoking did it take before they gave up who did it

[hallow shadow]

I had them doing Front Back Goes for about 15 minutes.
Those boys were kinda tough.

15 straight. Of just pushups.
Sit-ups. And running in place.
Front. Back. Go.

When they did get sold out. I passed it back to their Sergeant Major.
He handled those troops.
There was paperwork, but it wasn’t done by me. He couldn’t stop it.

Neither could I.

That’s Federal level shit, they did.
I couldn’t save them. But I could make it easier.

“Good cop” as I could get.

This was also done at like 4am.

[hearty tendon]

I sometimes miss the days of being on Fort Lee watching Drill Sergeants screw with their soldiers, there was a whole lot of half right faces there

[hallow shadow]

The alarm pulling started at 02.

[dreamy dagger]

When will Mewtwo advance to level 6?

[hallow shadow]

HALF RIGHT FACE

Wassup, Krezzinator.

Ft Lee. Virginia? Is that where that is?

[hearty tendon]

And a whole lot of bickering between the Army and the Marines, we would sometimes have Army officers get mad at us for not saluting in green on green, I had no idea that soldiers did not need to be covered to render salutes before that

[hearty tendon]

Yes

[hallow shadow]

I never saluted shit when I was on shift.

[dreamy dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/stifler-american-pie-gif-17982822

[hallow shadow]

Officers are just overpaid privates, and you can’t change my mind.

[wanton blaze]

Yall have hilarious stories from the military. Outside the guard shenanigans I deal with, I only have a couple stories even worth mentioning when I was growing up. Mostly back road country.

Almost rolling in a buddies truck drifting in the snow, jumping off trains. Then a train bridge once

[hallow shadow]

Half of these stories are illegal af

[hearty tendon]

Lmao

[wanton blaze]

Still funny, so is it really illegal.

Anyway

[hallow shadow]

I caught some chick stealing fuel.

[dreamy dagger]

Are you talking Karens by chance?

[hallow shadow]

I was refueling, at the end of my shift. Like any MP does.

At the GOVERNMENT fuel point, there’s a pickup truck. A guy in the bed, moving cans. And some chick. Filling them up.

Turns out. Her HUSBAND was on Staff Duty, and gave her the Fuel Point keys. So that she and her BOYFRIEND could sell the gas off post.

He, his wife, and her soldier boyfriend (in husband’s unit) all got charged for stealing TONS of fuel.
They’d been doing it for months.

Truck beds full of topped off Jerry cans. Of gas.

[stark crescent]

ur a mud puppy?

[hallow shadow]

Was*

I got out in 2017.

[stark crescent]

thats a long while ago

[hallow shadow]

Yes.

[wanton blaze]

Did they think they could just keep getting away with it

[stark crescent]

clearly. otherwise they wouldnt do it

[hallow shadow]

Well, yeah. It’s only illegal if you get caught.

[hearty tendon]

That's mighty brave to steal from a fuel point

[stark crescent]

wait

husband gave the keys to his wife, who then went and do this with HER boyfrined

[hallow shadow]

They weren’t expecting shift change.
The whole shift showed up, behind me. They couldn’t go nowhere.

[hallow shadow]

Yes. You read that correctly.

Husband OK’d the relationship.

[stark crescent]

damn. so they got caught. the wife and boyfriend. husband probably had an easy time getting most of the stuff in the divorce

[dreamy dagger]

Damn

[hallow shadow]

No. He didn’t. He was also caught.

[stark crescent]

oh, he was in on it

[hearty tendon]

Oof

[hallow shadow]

And charged. And kicked the fk out.
Yes. He gave them the keys, and the money was split.

[stark crescent]

wait. so he knew about the boyfriend. so its a cuck

[hallow shadow]

Yes.

[wanton blaze]

Yall ever deal with people so stupid they probably have alarms on their phone to remind themselves to breathe.

[hallow shadow]

That’s a common thing, in the army.

[hallow shadow]

I walked up on a swingers party, that left the front door (to the house) open.
Yes.

[hearty tendon]

Every single day in the Marines yes

[hallow shadow]

“Are you here for the party?”
As I see three consenting couples getting it on. From the parking lot.

[wanton blaze]

Jesus christ thats both awful and hilarious

[dreamy dagger]

Are those the New Gen Z 2.0?

[dreamy dagger]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

[hallow shadow]

Cucks, Furries, and gays are quite common in American services.

[hearty tendon]

One that particularly sticks out for me is having a PFC come up to me on range and explain to me that his nail kept falling out of his rifle, I had no idea what he was talking about until he pulled out his firing pin, like brother... you learned the name of that in boot camp, I thought his rifle was actually broken

[hallow shadow]

It was actually my first ever call. A “domestic disturbance”. I was a private.

[dreamy dagger]

Were they already started?

[hallow shadow]

Private. How does the firing pin just keep falling out of your rifle?

[hearty tendon]

Turned out he put his retaining pin into his bolt first, THEN the firing pin

[hallow shadow]

NOOOOO

[wanton blaze]

Speaking of guns, how long was the Sig P320 a sidearm in the armed forces

[hallow shadow]

He’s so lucky he’s not wounded, or dead.

[wanton blaze]

Considering their ND issues, I gotta wonder how many privates got smoked for a ND when it was legitimately the guns fault

[hallow shadow]

MPs occasionally carry SiGs.
MPI, and CID usually. (Back when I was in)

[hearty tendon]

We just got rid of our M9s, still waiting on our M18s!

[hallow shadow]

I always had an M9. I’ll always prefer an M9

I’d rather have a Glock, but… Some privates shouldn’t be trusted with a hammerless pistol, without a “safety” switch.

“De-cocking lever”

[hearty tendon]

I like M9s, but the ones we had were reaaal old, the locking blocks kept breaking

[hallow shadow]

You have no idea how many privates have ND’d an M9 (on shift) playing with their pistol like a cowboy trying to spin a revolver

[hallow shadow]

Awwww.

Some have even shot themselves, or each other.

Blown a hole in their vehicle.

[hearty tendon]

Jeez

[hallow shadow]

Right up through the roof.
spin spin bang

[stark crescent]

well, sure. any branch of anything ever has weird people in it.

[hearty tendon]

Met my share of furries in the Marines

[wanton blaze]

They could even be in this server right now

[hallow shadow]

They aren’t “weird”, my guy.
I know furries who will stack up and clear your domicile so effing fast, you won’t even know your face is getting humped.
Don’t pick on my furries and gays.

“Cringe is just passion you’re too afraid to embrace”?

[meager crag]

If they have the time and money to buy and make those fursuits, they definitely have the time and money to send you a pipebomb

[hallow shadow]

Also. Being a furry isn’t inherently sexual.
It’s more like a split personality kinda thing.

[hearty tendon]

Clearing rooms with M4, flak, Kevlar, and full fursuit

[hallow shadow]

I’ve seen some Furry “Boog Kits”.
Real shit.

Also. For real.
Fursuits can get expensive.
Especially if you get into customizing.

Some people have elaborate fursonas. It’s insane.

I was excited when I saw this scene at the beginning of the game. They did a great job with the cutscenes in Stalker 2

[hallow shadow]

I like how skif is always so dead-panned in every scene.
Like some kind of sociopath.

(I really don’t) I wish he showed more emotion.

Cause i thought it ended yesterday

[wooden walrus]

I mean we still haven't had a response from gsc and the misery guy nuked his server and just put out a weird statement about how he's been super racist but that was last year and now he's a changed man

afraid this will go on until we get an official statement

[compact pier]

It's a weekend

So my guess it will be until monday

[wooden walrus]

yeah yeah I mean, I understand it, but ynow

the steam discussions are a good measure of how much of a circus this entire thing is devolving into

[compact pier]

Well, it was a lot of bans yesterday

[frail rapids]

It was a shitshow ngl

[compact pier]

Kinda vibe of deletion of ru chats

But a small.portion

[frail rapids]

Misery DC is even worse

[compact pier]

Let them boil there and hope we will have only a small portion of it

[frail rapids]

They legit made this a political hate now

[wooden walrus]

they were jumping at the bit to make it political ngl

[frail rapids]

It would be so funny if GSC makes a statement that they had nothing to do with this

[wooden walrus]

I really really hope this is the case and it was just some false flag

imo it'd be the best outcome possible out of this entire thing

[frail rapids]

I think some songs in the game are copyrighted

[compact pier]

But I saw some other screenshot, so its looks like a legit things for me

But let's gsc talk about it

[frail rapids]

I heard Dirge for the Planet

[compact pier]

Even more

But for me this misery community already compromised themselves

[weary hedge]

Drama is overrated

[frail rapids]

The thing is, the screens looks legit, but why would GSC do this kinda stuff?

[wooden walrus]

I personally don't believe gsc would pull a supervillain caliber move of dmca-ing the use of guys in gas masks playing guitar

[frail rapids]

Legit no reason

[stark crescent]

jesus, still talking about that

[wooden walrus]

Like, it's dumb. Really really dumb.

[weary hedge]

That's what happens when you go full corpo

Start kicking the little guy

[wooden walrus]

and none of this should cause the misery guy to put out a statement that if it was a youtube video it would start with a 3 second long sigh looking into the camera

[wooden walrus]

a corpo wouldn't pull such a brainlet move, that's the thing

[compact pier]

Our bois take a deep look into this game, cause most of us don't buy stuff like that, and as an example #💬┃ua_offtop message

So it's kinda interesting

[wooden walrus]

stolen assets might be more like it, though I don't know to what extent

again, I hope that if gsc did actually submit a dmca, it had enough of a reason to do it

👀 fire is still somewhat burning I see

kinda weird coming from the company that recently announced a mod based on their original work going up on gog, but I guess it's not out of the cards

[wooden walrus]

If you haven't played since before they added that then yes, they've changed quite a lot. They've improved alife (and then kinda borked it again)

the bug were it spawns a ton of monolith in the town center

[dreamy dagger]

They also introduced night vision and canted aiming

oh nvm I see what you're saying

[wooden walrus]

Not really, it's still ammo pool, but reloads have stages now instead of cancelling the animation and starting from the beginning

[livid coral]

That's really nice, actually

especially the amount of times I accidentally canceled reloads at the last .1 seconds

[wooden walrus]

I think it's really nice personally

[dreamy dagger]

They should introduce Krezzin Mode

So I can finally Level up to 1. Brah.

[lilac hornet]

hey im new to the stalker games are these games suppose to be ridiculously difficult?

im playing radiophobia 3 rn and its so hard

[eternal mountain]

try playing the vanilla trilogy or stalker 2 first

mods tend to be for those who want a challenge after countless hours of vanilla

[lilac hornet]

i tried vanilla and enemies are bullet sponges plus i love this mod

[eternal mountain]

bullet sponges how?

[lilac hornet]

its just the mechnaics are confusing to me

[lilac hornet]

like take alot of shots to kill

[eternal mountain]

i mean depends on the weapon and area of shot

i found them to be extremely easy to kill with a good loadout

[lilac hornet]

i wanna play the games in order

is radiophobia harder than vanila?

[eternal mountain]

same goes for the mods, they can be gruesomely hard in the beginning but once you get the hang of it, it gets easier

[eternal mountain]

yeah it is considered to be really really hard

[lilac hornet]

for me its easier than vanilla

[eternal mountain]

what about this

[lilac hornet]

its hard but not as hard as the originals i tried playing

[eternal mountain]

i mean the stalker games have a lot in common with gothic games if you have heard of em, harder to learn, easy to master

[lilac hornet]

gothic games?

[eternal mountain]

or atleast, it takes some time before you can go around killing people on demand

yeah, old german rpgs

[lilac hornet]

ahh ive never played them

[eternal mountain]

they really push away new players, but if you just push through then you'll get the fruits of your despair

but yeah if you like the mod better than vanilla, then who can judge

[lilac hornet]

same thing happened to me when i did all the souls games i sucked but stuck through it

[eternal mountain]

it still follows the same story

[robust pendant]

Another one consumed by Shitphobia

[lilac hornet]

shitphobia?

[robust pendant]

Not exactly

It changes the story quite a lot actually

[robust pendant]

I just hate it a lot. If you like it, thats fine. But its one of the worst firstplaythrough mod out there

[lilac hornet]

how so?

[robust pendant]

Because it changes the game a ton. The AI is shit (for an "overhaul"), the economy is a lot different, new mechanics that dont really go with vanilla and the story is changed too. Not only stuff from the original, but also new stuff that seems to have been written by a 13 year old

Basically, its SoC but Gamma-fied

Which is good if you like it. But not good for a first playthrough

[lilac hornet]

hmm fair

[robust pendant]

But well, if you are deep into your save, just keep going

[eternal mountain]

for first time players, mods can be a real risk to ruin the stalker experience, i remember playing stalker gamma with no experience with stalker games, thought it was shit and quit.. couple of months passed and i thought that man, stalker universe seems real cool and bought the vanilla trilogy and played the games as they were made... and man did that do the trick, i have almost 200 hours in stalker 2 cus it stuck to that vanilla experience, stalker gamma is real good... but it isnt really "stalker", its escape from stalkerov type ahh

[lilac hornet]

what about the enhanced vs original stalker trilogy?

[robust pendant]

Dont really waste your time

[vale bridge]

hey can anyone help me with stalker 2?

[robust pendant]

Play the originals, with mods even, but the originals. The enhanced add 3 cool things and introduce 7 bad things

[vale bridge]

im at the mission "just like the good old days" and the proffesor dosent spawn

[eternal mountain]

play the originals yeah

[robust pendant]

You can ask for help in #❔┃seeking-for-advice too btw

[eternal mountain]

clear sky can be skipped in my honest opinion, its cool but not really realized

[robust pendant]

I wouldnt skip it even. For the story, its meh. But the gameplay can be a lot of fun

[eternal mountain]

but shadow of chornobyl and call of pripyat are must have must play

[vale bridge]

sure but maybe you can help me

[robust pendant]

No, because I dont own Stalker 2 and I dont know anything about it

I just played the original 3 games

[oak junco]

what a horrible post

clear sky is the best game in the series why skip peak lol

[lilac hornet]

i dont like skipping games fomo

[robust pendant]

Well I wouldnt go that far as to sya its the best, but yeah, if you like SoC, you'll probably like CS

[robust pendant]

Btw, idk if you'll continue with radiophobia or you plan to play with another mod

I have a couple of recommendations if you want, for all 3 games

[lilac hornet]

honestly im thinking of sticking with it

[oak junco]

if any game should be skipped its call of pripyat its the weakest in the franchise and its main story is weak it also doesnt make sense due to soc events

[eternal mountain]

like yeah i aint saying that you have to skip it, but imo its the weaker one of the trilogy... it had limansk tho, loved that spot

[robust pendant]

Sure 👍 hope you enjoy it

[lilac hornet]

i am so far its just i need to get used to the mechanics of the game is all

[eternal mountain]

heres hoping that the limansk dlc for stalker 2 lives up

[robust pendant]

Yeye, dont worry, dont start all over again if you are far already lol. Its just wasting of your time if you do that

[oak junco]

call of pripyat is lol spoilers for those who havent played || the ukranian military is retarded they lost 4 different helis after knowing for a fact anomalies move after emissions ||

i hated that about the main story made no sense imo

[vapid galleon]

[eternal mountain]

yeah story was kinda ass, but the exploration and artifact hunting was the shit

[oak junco]

i agree

it had awesome side quests aswell atleast

[vapid galleon]

[robust pendant]

I hated the maps honestly

Maybe I need to play it again

But if I do, I will use the IX-Ray engine, cause that shit looks beautiful

[oak junco]

agreed looks so good

ngl i got a big soft spot for zanton such a cool map

[vapid galleon]

[oak junco]

[vapid galleon]

???

[robust pendant]

Damn now I want to replay clear sky too

[oak junco]

peak sky

[vapid galleon]

the sky is clear. go and play it soldier

[robust pendant]

Its incredible that sometimes I would rather play all the trilogy 4 times (maybe modded) than try new story mods

[full seal]

what to do if i have 2 hypercubes?

[robust pendant]

S2?

[full seal]

yep

[oak junco]

right? the trilogy just feels so good that some mods that feeling is missing

[robust pendant]

Ah, cant help, sorry. Maybe ask in #❔┃seeking-for-advice

[full seal]

nah its not a problem or a bg

its just that i found a second legendary artifact of the same type and idk what to do with it

[coral shadow]

WHY IX RAYYY ITS XRAYY

[coral shadow]

eat it

[robust pendant]

IX-Ray is a new engine, made by modders

[coral shadow]

wut

[robust pendant]

it's basically xray, but better

[coral shadow]

ohhh, i think people said it wrongly on purpos

[robust pendant]

#🔩┃trilogy_modifications message
Here you have the difference between the two

in that place, the whether was really dark, but I have sunny screenshots

actually, look above that message, they are just over there

[coral shadow]

my phone can't reproduce those vids so i cant see the difference at all

[spring gust]

So, I couldn't get into The Sphere, and then went did some story missions, came back and ||everyone is a zombie o_o||

[wicked magnet]

Is there a analog radiophobia for CoP?

[robust pendant]

open the videos, click the 3 dots and click "open on browser"

[robust pendant]

Maybe Misery

[coral shadow]

congratulations stalker you failed the mission and now all the zone is full of zombies ugh

[spring gust]

I mean they wouldn't let me in... so, tbh. That's on them

[wicked magnet]

Misery is outdated IMO

[oak junco]

disagree misery is still great

[robust pendant]

well, it's the only one that comes close to what you asked

[spring gust]

I'm trying to find a key to a stash here... I'm worried it's in one of the locked buildings at the sphere.

[hollow sail]

Why the DMCA strike on MISERY?

[serene barn]

thought the whole idea was they didn't know?

[oak junco]

they did because the zone changes between CS and SOC as new paths open and others close

aswell as the military operation to rush to the center in soc ending

[fickle tulip]

Misery Dev just put out an announcement on why

[hollow sail]

So lame ngl

[potent knot]

P. certain the whole point is they didn't and thats what you're finding out as Maj. Degtyarev.

[serene barn]

like a new announcement or the old one that looked sketchy?

[still current]

[oak junco]

cop was just poorly written if forester in a shack knew the zone changes etc and a government doesnt? wack writing

even stalker 2 is a better written game

[potent knot]

Gov. incompetence is one of the most believable things in the game lmao

[harsh gull]

New one

[serene barn]

the emission that happens in CS is kind of like, a Mega one from what i understood. so maybe they didn't know the normal ones can move the anomalies, or the ones in the air around.

[gusty nexus]

Man, the latest #📰┃announcement is so close but it's missing one thing.
Separated quick action item keys.
Come on, it was in the trilogy (now the entire trilogy thanks to Enhanced editions), let us bind 4 tap to use keys on PC.
Holding is just so unintuitive on keyboard.

[full seal]

what are you talking about?

[gusty nexus]

Latest announcement shows redesigned inventory UI
But the quick action keys are still just two binds where you have to hold to use the secondary item.

[full seal]

oh that?

i kinda like it

[gusty nexus]

Yeah and I hate it.
It's even more aggravating because the settings page clearly shows there are 4 keybinds in game for them.

[full seal]

All roads lead to previous Stalker games 🕰️ 🕰️ 🕰️

[gusty nexus]

Like, the game is teasing me with the idea of binding 4 separate keys for quick action items, but then laughs and says "Screw you, you only get two keys."

[smoky hawk]

yhea, next they should remove all VA and make a proper Convo screen

[gusty nexus]

I don't mind VA for quest dialogues. Some of the previous games did that.

[bitter plover]

[gusty nexus]

Clear Sky and Shadow of Chernobyl more extensively.

But I wouldn't mind a return of the classic dialogue UI.

[full seal]

@smoky hawk place the rabbit pointing at the clock gif

[smoky hawk]

what

[unique locust]

Your beloved russian kids should try coming up with original ideas instead of stealing entire set pieces from a company they hate so much

[oak junco]

gsc doesnt have a copyright on Ukraine lol

[serene barn]

like, a copyright on making a game in a country?

don't think you can do that

[oak junco]

like someone pointed out in the other channel no one bats an eye about stalcraft

its all just political virtue signaling imo

[bitter plover]

they did. Stalcraft had to change a lot of things in it bcs of that

[oak junco]

fair counterpoint then

[gusty nexus]

Stalcraft is a 1 to 1 copy of stalker.
All Misery really had that could be argued was anomalies and emissions, but even then it's not a concept that can be protected due to games like Chernobylite, Into the Radius, Active Matter.

[cobalt fiber]

[bitter plover]

its like that, when new tourists come in and start talking about it

[gusty nexus]

I'm not really here to stir drama but I really don't see the grounds for the DMCA when other projects exist
But I guess its easier to target a game made by a single dev afaik

[cobalt fiber]

It’s easy to wait for official confirmation rather than speculate when the same points have been gone over endlessly

[serene barn]

one of the mods said that a statement was coming last night but that didn't happen so i'm just waiting on something more concrete.

[bitter plover]

completely irelevant. WE dont know whole DCMA info, so stop with this.

[smoky hawk]

its saturday, theyll release a statement monday at working hours

[oak junco]

im gonna start drama clear sky is the best faction in the franchise

[bitter plover]

i think ppl just completely missunderstood it. I understood it in a way, that the mod wanted to say, that its too late in Ukraine, so they wont anwer fast

[bitter plover]

[stuck seal]

im gonna start drama sausage is better than canned food

[smoky hawk]

it really doesnt matter since theyre dead

[gilded kayak]

very silly question, when will stalker 2 be a finished product? I hope it is by 2030

[smoky hawk]

I hope by 2029

[oak junco]

https://tenor.com/view/angy-cat-cute-angry-judging-gif-5664908679004854891

[gilded kayak]

I also saw the drama about misery and was like okay
anyway so, I'm just waiting for stalker 2 to go on a low enough sale for me to get it

[serene barn]

a short "announcement" about them planning on making a proper one next week seems like it would be practical here i feel instead of letting it stew over the weekend

[bitter plover]

they start live service and it will never be finished

[gilded kayak]

but the game is still pretty poorly optimized, my pc definitely won't be able to run the game without an upscaler because dear God the system requirements

[oak junco]

clear sky is ALIVE i saw it in the upcoming dlcs they make their return and free the zone from ward

[stuck seal]

It will become a finished product in 2024

The game has many issues and some updates made some issues worse but it’s not an unfinished game, everything is there it just needs improvement

[oak junco]

cant stop the blue wave

[paper trail]

is it true that Misery was DMCAed by GSC Game World?

[stuck seal]

It’s true that a deer hit me while running and my nuts hurt

[bitter plover]

let alone several hours

[cobalt fiber]

Weekends aren’t typically working days tbf

[oak junco]

people dont scroll back in discord

[gilded kayak]

It will be a finished game when it has all the features of the preivous games plus what was originally promised, and properly optimising the game and fixing uncompressed assets and taking the game down to maybe 100gb

[cobalt fiber]

People are fine to discuss and ask questions yes but the minute it goes toxic mutes will be dished out

[stuck seal]

“The west is waking up” what kind of prophecy is this

[gilded kayak]

you will cough in 3 days

[paper trail]

I think double Tab got quite salty from 0-100

[serene barn]

it very much is an unfinished game lol. it was and still is, lacking something that was originally promised to be a part of it, being A-Life. secondly the promised DLCs hasn't been added either so that also goes in with me say it's not a finished game.

[gilded kayak]

personally the game is like $25, thats what its worth

[oak junco]

the greatness of yakuza will be known to all soon

[halcyon karma]

Oh no, what have I walked into.

[bitter plover]

i can agree with anything but this. Average games give you far less for far more moeny

[gilded kayak]

I find it very worrying that a current game is much less optimised and polished than something from 2015 cough cough batman arkham knight

[serene barn]

you log in on a discord, make a post then log off like it's not asking for hours lol but i think they should acknowledge it sooner since there will be people who come in, over time, just being pissed off about the situation.

[stuck seal]

DLCs are technically separate products, Skyrim would have been considered a finish product before the dlcs released

[gilded kayak]

the game is not worth its asking price

[potent knot]

Me when I'm mentally ill

[serene barn]

in a way i'd agree but if it's something you take my money for before? imma consider it as part of what i was promised on purchase.

[gilded kayak]

In any case I also saw the stalker games have been getting review bombed by misery players so thats unfortunate, took stalker 2 from very positive to mixed

[gilded kayak]

???
I don't get it

[bitter plover]

thats not fair comparison. Devs of knight had long years of high experience on engine. They knew ins and out. They had also experiences with game mechanics from their previous games. They had a lot of time. And they didnt have to work with First itirations of UE 5, which was basicaly beta version without proper documentation.

[cobalt fiber]

It’s not as simple as one person making an announcement. They need to liaise with one another to get the full story

[potent knot]

$25 for S2 is wild to say considering the amount of work that went into it

[gusty nexus]

Still waiting on the "optimization" that's been in the works since release...
The fact I can't play on a Ryzen 9700x and 4080 Super due to performance issues making me motion sick is really bizarre.

[gilded kayak]

It's a perfectly fair comparison, they have also been using unreal engine for years lol
