[visual mortar]

featuring multiple Mexican characters

latina babes

[regal sinew]

Gus Fring special guest appearance.

[ruby gale]

Dead island 2 is a little disappointing

[visual mortar]

no just ladies

[ruby gale]

I played through once and never could get myself to do it again on a different character, not even ng+

[oblique igloo]

Yes, a little bit, but it was a lot of fun, you can't say no, that too had a difficult development.

[regal sinew]

Don’t try to turn stalker into Duke Nukem.

That being said, we need a new Duke Nukem.

[ruby gale]

Dıck kickem

[regal sinew]

[oblique igloo]

Duke nuke another franchise lost forever

[regal sinew]

Man, Duke Nukem, Quake and Doom were my childhood.

[oblique igloo]

I played them all until the much talked about Nuke 3D which was a flop then no one made a new one lost forever

[oblique igloo]

Do play sariussam

[ruby gale]

I was more twisted metal, san Andreas, and midnight club

[oblique igloo]

Seriussam 1 2 3 4

[regal sinew]

I think everyone had San Andreas. I remember skiving off high school so I could sit home and play it lol.

[regal sinew]

Serious Sam?

[oblique igloo]

You don't know serious sam

[ruby gale]

I dont hear many people talk about the midnight club series though

[compact dune]

Hey guys

[regal sinew]

I do I’m just making sure that’s what you meant lol

FarCry2 was another one, well ahead of its time.

[compact dune]

I downloaded a stalker game from ps plus and 3 games popped up in my notifications, why?

[regal sinew]

You got the Enhanced Trilogy Edition too.

[compact dune]

Like i downloaded one game then i find 3 downloads

[oblique igloo]

Yes yes that's the translator and the languages ​​that are a pain in the ass

[compact dune]

Idk what this is, but there's (call of prypiat and clear sky and shadow of chornobyl)

[regal sinew]

That’s the trilogy lol

[oblique igloo]

And just because they are 3 Shadow of Chernobyl Clear Sky and Call of Prypiat

[ruby gale]

Tri=3

[regal sinew]

The OGs

[compact dune]

oh i understand now,

But which one should i start with and will they be in one game or in 3 different apps?

Sorry it's my first stalker game

[ruby gale]

I think its shadow, clear sky, and call of pripyat

[regal sinew]

Soc - CS - then CoP. Best to play in release order.

[ruby gale]

Been meaning to play the older games

Just never got around to it with pd2 and kf2 taking most my time since im getting hooked on them again

[regal sinew]

They still hold up tbh, great games, just with the usual stalker jank.

[compact dune]

What do u recommend?

[regal sinew]

Do a playthrough vanilla, unmodded, then do a modded playthrough.

[oblique igloo]

Kf2 what is

[regal sinew]

Shadow of Chernobyl 1st.

[ruby gale]

Do the trilogy games have mods on console? I think someone told me they do but I can't remember

[regal sinew]

Couldn’t tell ye tbh, haven’t owned a console since the ps4.

[ruby gale]

And I dont think Playstation has mods yet

Given they recently got the stalker games

[ruby gale]

Killing Floor 2, wave shooter that i personally think is better then cod zombies

[compact dune]

Yeah i get to the sort thing and the resent games to release in ps plus is stalker

Btw i think I've heard that stalker is like hardcore survival game or something? Like dayz or maybe rust

So idk how is the gameplay

[regal sinew]

It’s nothing like them.

[ruby gale]

Its got a bit of difficulty to it but its not that hard

[regal sinew]

Stalker is hardcore but only if you choose to play on those difficulty settings like Master. It’s nothing like GayZ where you have to keep warm and feeding yourself every 5 minutes because your character is secretly a tamagotchi.

[ruby gale]

Yeah, a lot of games get the eating thing wrong, I get in game scale is faster than irl but sometimes its excessive

[regal sinew]

Too excessive to the point where 80% of gameplay is you looking for food.

Not my idea of a good time, but other like that so, meh.

[oblique igloo]

play at starfield the game of generation

[regal sinew]

Nah, Todd can suck my fat one.

[oblique igloo]

hahahahaha

[oblique igloo]

how bad is uncle todd

[regal sinew]

Still no ES6.

[oblique igloo]

tes6 I want to see him outside who knows how many years

[ruby gale]

Apparently starfield is getting its own 2.0

[oblique igloo]

apparently

[regal sinew]

Well, it does need it lol.

[hearty zenith]

I want to know which sniper rifle, assault rifle, submachine gun, and armor are the best in the game. Can anyone help me? plsss

[regal sinew]

And I don’t even have the game.

[kindred fable]

It's beyond saving, imo... But let's see what they've got, lol

[marble gyro]

Viper, aksu, and leather jacket

[ruby gale]

Svu, dnipro, integral, and ssp100 or liberty exo

[regal sinew]

Lullaby if you have the Ult edition. It’s all you need.

[ruby gale]

Hopefully modders get custom animation support this time

Well back to work, talk when I can

[proven hollow]

you can upgrade mechanics in starfield all you want nothing is going to fix that tame boring ass story

[marble gyro]

Yo who is down for a movie night sometime this year?

[ruby gale]

Depends on the movie

[marble gyro]

Starfield gunplay is good, but there is not enough of it at all

Like it's very rare in between for a Bethesda game

[ruby gale]

Eh, I wasnt too hooked on it

[marble gyro]

Horror

Post apocalyptic, zombies etc etc

[ruby gale]

Friday 13th and chainsaw massacre

[charred nova]

do we even want an ES6

[marble gyro]

Yes

[charred nova]

im not sure we do

[regal sinew]

Meh, at this point.

[marble gyro]

I need more lusty argonian maid vol.

[ruby gale]

Like gta6, idc

[charred nova]

bethesda is not capable of making a good ES6

why even bother

[regal sinew]

Sad but true.

[marble gyro]

They are, if it's someone else and not Todd howard

[charred nova]

its not todd

[marble gyro]

Dude is washed out already

[charred nova]

The guy who does all the writing is a total hack

[compact dune]

What is the "normal" difficulty in stalker soc?

[charred nova]

and they refuse to fire him

[ruby gale]

If the group that reworked oblivion did es6 id be interested

[charred nova]

and until they get rid of him

it will not get better

[charred nova]

imbr best difficulty to play on is master

[kindred fable]

Just play on master and if it feels too hard - lower it. You can do it at anytime. It's not a hardcore game

[marble gyro]

Normal is decent, has a bit of difficulty spike towards the end, but overall enjoyable experience, recommend master difficulty

[proven hollow]

if ES6 has the creativity of writing of starfield i'll pass

[charred nova]

literally the current head writer

wrote a single good quest line

20 years ago

and they made him the head of the writing department

[ruby gale]

"Creative writing" aka a pointless story and ng+

[kindred fable]

Todd Howard is just a salesman, they have other problems in their team

[marble gyro]

Remaster morrowind, I need a functional copy that I can play on wide screen

[kindred fable]

He also did one of the coolest levels for Thief 2, ironically (Life of the Party)... Kinda wish he kept doing level design instead of writing

[marble gyro]

Cyberpunk needs ng+

[kindred fable]

Can't you do that with OpenMW?

[ruby gale]

Like they'll do it

[charred nova]

like its case of bro was good at doing a small scale thing

but he is terrible at crafting a wider narrative

[marble gyro]

Cdpr will give witcher ng+ but not cp2077

I mean the game now scales enemies based on your current gear and armor stats

So why should there not be ng+?

[charred nova]

cus if you start the game at max level the game would be boring

its not a big deal imbr

[ruby gale]

Yeah, but itd be nice to use all the weapons in a fresh new game

[marble gyro]

Game would definitely not be boring

Like you can have the option to skip beginning or play it with base V then after prologue you go to ripper doc and get chromed immediately

[charred nova]

cyberpunk is a game i liked but i couldn't shake the feeling so many things were missing

[marble gyro]

Because enemies will scale to you

[charred nova]

all the little things

[proven hollow]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

Where the final number for the keypad here?

[ruby gale]

Like back-stories actually mattering

[charred nova]

and some world building stuff

like the fact you need a mod to modify cars

is crazy to me

like why can't i upgrade the engine in my car in the base game

🤨

obvious feature to have and yet

[ruby gale]

Exactly the problem i have

[charred nova]

so many features like that

which keep it at like an 80/100 for me

[kindred fable]

On the roof of one of the buildings

[marble gyro]

Still a good number

[charred nova]

it could have been so much more though

[marble gyro]

Hopefully CP 2077-2 adds all that

[charred nova]

its unreal engine my hopes are not high

[marble gyro]

No

[ruby gale]

I now have a new sweatshirt from work, a continental zip up, end of the year promotional stuff

[charred nova]

yes it is lol

[marble gyro]

It's their house engine RED

[charred nova]

nope

[kindred fable]

I mean, the whole RPG aspect is basically missing. Backgrounds do nothing, can't choose a faction, very small variety of choices in quests (generally), no 1000s of NPCs with hand made schedules. They went all in into combat and a lil bit into stealth, that's all

[charred nova]

CDPR is dropping the red engine

for all games going forward

[ruby gale]

There is kinda the aldicaldos thing but even thats limited

[marble gyro]

Ahh damn

[charred nova]

yah it likely is a symptom of trying to fix a poorly made foundation

but even compared to something like deus ex 2000

that was kinda what i was hoping for that level of emersion

which i sadly did not get

you can't even really customize your apartment which is lame

[ruby gale]

And there's really no point to the romance options either

[kindred fable]

Imagine being able to save ||Jackie|| like we could save ||Paul|| in deus ex

[charred nova]

yah or stop the helicopter from blowing up

[kindred fable]

But nah, it's part of the script, the dude had to die

[charred nova]

by discovering the spy and defusing the bomb

[compact dune]

Guys how does looting and healing work?

[proven hollow]

consequences to my choices and actions?! In my RPG? Madness!

[compact dune]

In soc

[kindred fable]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1308038416562126879

But in general, nothing respawns in SoC except for NPCs. Healing is instant, any food and any medkit heals you, lol

[charred nova]

like i get its kinda hard to make a game like that these days but i feel given the budget they likely had it could have been done

[ruby gale]

Well half the budget was probably redoing things because they sucked the first time

[proven hollow]

yeah, about that, artifacts don't actually respawn in SoC, that has been bugged since release and never fixed, not even in the updated versions

[charred nova]

yah why im kinda hoping they do better in the second game

like im cautiously optimistic

[ruby gale]

I've always been pessimistic, better to be pleasantly surprised than disappointed

[kindred fable]

Oh, my mistake then. Played so many different iterations of the originals that I've started to mix stuff up

[ruby gale]

Kinda why i never look at update notes/roadmaps

[kindred fable]

Robo says that artifacts don't respawn, actually. Sorry for the misinformation, lol

[charred nova]

i really hope with a better vision this time they can make the true cyberpunk game

they actually wanted to make

[ruby gale]

Hope so, but I won't hold my breath

[kindred fable]

Now the other issue we have is that people will expect a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, not a sequel to the vision they had before releasing Cyberpunk 2077... So I doubt we'll get something similar to RPG in the next game either

Although who knows, anything is possible, I guess

[charred nova]

idk i think people would like that version more

like there is some insanely popular modpack for cyberpunk that is suppose to make the game more of an rpg i guess

[kindred fable]

Maybe... It depends heavily on the implementation of that vision

[charred nova]

So its not like people are not interested in that

[wispy condor]

Hiiiii 🌲

I am new here

[hardy totem]

hello new here

[mystic temple]

Hello new here

[wispy condor]

Still didnt buy stalker 2 , just wanna advice from u guys

Buy whole version or simple

[hardy totem]

you can buy simple and upgrade if you like it

[wispy condor]

Ultimate edition?

@hardy totem thank u so Koch

[hardy totem]

you can upgrade to ultimate edition, yes

[compact dune]

Bro this game is hard

[wispy condor]

Much

I know, bro. I am a chick, but life is so short and I will learn

[compact dune]

Btw where is the stamina bar

[kindred fable]

It's a blue line below your pose icon

When your inventory is almost empty you won't lose stamina at all, I think

Don't really remember but yeah, SoC is very generous with the stamina

[river crow]

200 hours to do the 1st play through of Stalker 2. Did just about everything.

What’s the consensus, Strelok or Skif to be the canon ending?

[main jewel]

skif is believed to be the canon one

mainly because of how much stuff inside the ending cutscene

and the fact that it leaves so much stuff to be desired

like why is faust still there

[charred nova]

i kinda hope the dlcs add more endings

[river crow]

My issue with that one is would Skif want the zone opened up to the world?

[main jewel]

i think the dlc might explain rhe skif one i dunno actually that sounds dumb

[river crow]

Isn’t Faust and doc the same guy? If you spare doc, that’s why he’s there

[charred nova]

maybe it can slightly alter the existing ends

or add to them in some way

[main jewel]

technically i believe that wasnt skif that was just the zone being the zone,

originally Valentyn dalin and the other scientists wanted to use the ccon to rid the world of negative emotions or smth and when kaimanov was like nah man i dont wanna go in there, kaimanovs body was replaced with a random device its (something)meter so, but it wasnt another scientists brain so the experiment failed and the zone was created.

then way later when skif enters the pod, not only does he replace the original emitter with the heart of chornobyl, that is ten times more powerful than that original metal emitter, he enters the pod and completes the circuit, and in using a anomalous artifact and the zone already existing and in the skif playthrough your mindset is to set the zone free, instead of ridding the world of negative sad emotions and all that, you spread and release the zone all around the world

but its just a theory i dont touch #s2-lore-discussions cause that channel will literally ruin your life

[main jewel]

nimble ending, degtyarev ending

[charred nova]

nimble ending could be based

[feral sigil]

Hello stalkers 🤎✌️

We have any news on binovulars or new update ?

[main jewel]

best ending

[charred nova]

uh yah they got shadow dropped today actually

mol1t just didn't wanna tell anyone

[main jewel]

bro told people

this smells like misinformation

[charred nova]

yah it came packaged with the new sin faction and unreal engine 5.7 overhaul

mol1t only wanted to tell me so its a surprise for everyone else

[main jewel]

did mol1t also tell you thermals are coming back, the rpd is back, and hogs now blow smoke up their asses

[visual mortar]

mol1y sent me a secret message it says "binoclur :)"

[charred nova]

yah he did actually

i love spreading miss information

[vapid galleon]

[main jewel]

mol1t sent me a message and it was a bad slur, followed by a gif of sidor goinf what the hell skif 🥹

[charred nova]

damn mol1t i didn't know you were cool like that

[main jewel]

we are getting the what the hell marked one in bean stalk 2

[visual mortar]

he did NOT

[charred nova]

[visual mortar]

NO HE DIDN'T

not my mol1y

[ruby gale]

I wish to also spread misinformation, but work is busy, so ill leave with saying Lexa is lying and she's only 4'11, seen it myself

[visual mortar]

now way she's 4'11

[main jewel]

yes bro it was so cool 🥹

[main jewel]

you should be glad that wolf is here to stop what i wanna say

[charred nova]

ill say it instead

[cyan sparrow]

Very tolll text

[visual mortar]

they talk about Miss Information, but they never talk about Mister Information

[main jewel]

[charred nova]

would mr information please stand up

[cobalt fiber]

Dont forget that endgame content that’s coming next week with the roadmap

Ah shit wrong channel

[cobalt fiber]

Breaching NDA like it’s going out of fashion

[cyan sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/jebaited-low-quality-bait-wavy-man-gif-26402013

Fuck, forgot there’s no gifs here

For normies like me

[cobalt fiber]

[visual mortar]

fuck my horrible chud low level life

[cyan sparrow]

Sadge

[ruby gale]

Idk what you mean shortstack

[stuck adder]

Just finished Shadow of Chernobyl

(On Veteran, and went for the ||Wish Fulfiller||)

[regal sinew]

Nice, did you do the canon ending too?

[stuck adder]

I guess? lmao

Now, what is the follow-up, Clear Sky or Call of Prypjat

[regal sinew]

CS.

[ruby gale]

Id drink to that if I wasnt driving

[stuck adder]

[feral sigil]

Gz now it cop time

[cyan sparrow]

Does he have p€nis close to the face?

[stuck adder]

So basically Shadow of Chernobyl is ||that you go for the Wish Fulfiller and wish to see how was Zone made?||

[wispy sundial]

You got one of the non-canon endings.

The canon ending is|| specifically not going to the wish granter but taking a different route to the c-conciousness.||

[regal sinew]

The canon ending is that: ||you fight your way through the Monolith going through teleports until you reach the C-Con room, and destroy it.||

[frigid hill]

Onward warriors of the Monolith, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Monolith.
Bring death to those who spurned the holy power of the Monolith.

[ruby gale]

Im glad work is flying by today

[stuck adder]

So I got the lame ending lmao

[ruby gale]

I mean, compared to the cannon ending one is cooler

[stuck adder]

I mean, I had fun playing it, feels nostalgic (also to have laptop to literally burn at 85-92°C)
Off to the Clear Sky I go

[ruby gale]

Have fun

[regal sinew]

Watch out for any stationary MGs.

[ruby gale]

Is it how much you love me?

[violet dune]

okay so AI has installed aimbot, i got zapped through walls so many times

[cobalt fiber]

Not the wall hacking AI

[violet dune]

[ruby gale]

That bo2 highest difficulty accuracy

[cyan sparrow]

[ruby gale]

[weak urchin]

Can i repair Lummox's AK74 (with the scope) even after it breaks red ?

[main jewel]

yuh

[ruby gale]

You can repair any red weapon

[main jewel]

i prefer keeping the gun with its jamming tho

around 50% rhe jamming is kinda scary and fun

[weak urchin]

Thanks guys ! 👍
Yeah the jamming adds a certain thing to the game

[ruby gale]

To each their own ig

[main jewel]

your a bum

[ruby gale]

Oh come on

[weak urchin]

The last game i gad with this function was Far Cry 2

[main jewel]

but its cool having slight jams

[ruby gale]

Mine seems to jam every 5 bullets, only reason I avoid it

[main jewel]

one time i was using a m701 and i had thw perfect shot until boom it jammed and i scrambled to get it fixed

it adds something to the game

[weak urchin]

Or always after the first bullet on a ennemi with a full shotgun

[ruby gale]

I like jamming but it happens way too often for me, otherwise id let it happen, maybe ill try again tonight

[ruby gale]

Did you hear, she's only 4'11

[main jewel]

you give me this look

[main jewel]

im not 4’11… stop projecting your insecurities onto me…

[marble gyro]

So fun size?

[cobalt fiber]

Brother Sin calm down man!!

[safe hearth]

Guys I need help

[marble gyro]

Man yall have gutter minds, I was literally talking about a candy bar

[cyan sparrow]

Welcome home, we too

[main jewel]

i dunno if 194 cm is really fun sized

[safe hearth]

The monolithian device isn’t spawned

[main jewel]

i measured myself and im 6’3 or 194 cm

[marble gyro]

Wtf is that lmao!!!

[marble gyro]

That's diabolical I love it!

[main jewel]

who the hell painted this piece of shit

[charred nova]

a guy called chat gpt i bet

[cobalt fiber]

[charred nova]

[cobalt fiber]

Tall kings and queens unite

[cyan sparrow]

Google is free

[marble gyro]

[cyan sparrow]

Condolences 💐

[ruby gale]

Hey, im perfectly fine being 5'2 just be honest about your 4'11

[charred nova]

god made me for a purpose and im the perfect size for what that purpose is

[main jewel]

im back

[main jewel]

mission successful another stalker helped 🥹

[cyan sparrow]

Sorry, I’m agnostic. I don’t quite get the idea of God..

[charred nova]

im the perfect size for japanese cars

[charred nova]

i got unlucky my brother is a fair bit taller than i am

[cyan sparrow]

I see! tight corners and smooth rides!

[ruby gale]

Idk what 6'1 is in cm but im that

[charred nova]

im 5'5

[drifting forge]

About 181

Damn, im a foot over that

[ruby gale]

Getting in asian cars while fairly tall or very tall is not fun, or old people's cars

[charred nova]

yes i know

cus there designed to fit the average japanese man

who is normally fairly small

[ruby gale]

Im fine with 6'1 any taller and life becomes a struggle

[main jewel]

its okay

[charred nova]

it doesn't bother me too much in all honesty

[drifting forge]

It aint too bad tbh

[charred nova]

its not really something that i find annoying in regular life so i rarely think about it

[cobalt fiber]

Being tall af on the other hand is annoying

[urban meadow]

Sup, Lexa.

[cobalt fiber]

Duck this duck that

It’s a whole struggle

Bang my head at least 5x a day

[drifting forge]

Rip

[main jewel]

i like it, i feel big and powerful, its just i cant fit into alot of cars, i need to eat moar so my groceries are more expensive than alot of people, i bang my head on some doors in the public world, and wearing high heels being this high up is like walking on stilts

small cars be like

they are so cute but so hard to fit comfortably in

[main jewel]

hi sir

[cyan sparrow]

Yes, indeed. However my shorter friends says they’re intimidated by having to look up at the women’s b##bies

[urban meadow]

:3

[cobalt fiber]

I don’t have the heels problems but the rest is felt

[drifting forge]

Lmao

[cobalt fiber]

Although Timberlands are always fun cos they add a couple inches

But yes banging your head is a whole issue

I gave myself a concussion and knocked myself out 3 years ago for hitting my head on some wooden beam whilst drunk

[main jewel]

WHATTTT

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah not my proudest moment

[main jewel]

they like it

[ruby gale]

Ouch, ive hit my head plenty of times but never that bad

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah that was a first and last but it wasn’t great lmao

A nice big bruise to show for it too

[cobalt fiber]

It’s the legs for me with tall girls I’m ngl

Tall girls wear dresses better

🤷‍♂️

[charred nova]

dumbest thing ive ever walked into is someone put this giant metal shield on a rack at eye level and it was hanging off and i walked straight into it

hurt like hell

[cobalt fiber]

I think the second worst thing was like

You know those metal sheet roofs you get on warehouses and shit

[main jewel]

to bad i dont like dresses

[cobalt fiber]

Putting one up and when it came to screwing it in

I caught my head on the edge

[main jewel]

dresses bad

[cobalt fiber]

Huge gash on the middle of my head

[cyan sparrow]

They says, depends of the cup size, some bigger ones make it hard to look straight into eyes

I prefer being toll, and looking down at 6’ mediterranean women

[cobalt fiber]

Depends on the dress

Those classy ones with a slit parting

That’s a weakness

[main jewel]

im not too big, my thighs are my biggest feature, like my legs are crazy big

[cobalt fiber]

Pin up style too like we’re in the country back in the 70s/80s

👌

[main jewel]

❌ i am too self conscious to wear one baggy clothes i love you

[charred nova]

yah that would fuck you up

[cobalt fiber]

They are fuckin lethal

[cyan sparrow]

It’s fine, i was relating to my shorter friends experience.

[main jewel]

you should find your friend a really tall girl and watch them freeze up

[cobalt fiber]

I find male dress up stuff too constricting so same

Like if I gotta go somewhere nice to eat or whatever I’ll throw the jeans and polo on

But anything else give me my joggers and hoodie

I’m a simple man

[cyan sparrow]

Im not in position to make him happy, he always mob me for megamind like look.

[cobalt fiber]

Got a bunch of Ralphy polos collecting dust because I actively avoid fancy places

[kindred fable]

Thighs are cool but I wish we had some more info on 1.9 now...

[cobalt fiber]

You mean 0.9?

[kindred fable]

Yea, you could say so

[cobalt fiber]

[kindred fable]

I also wonder if they are planning to release something like 2.0 after 1.9 or will it be 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, etc

[main jewel]

thighs are amazing and i hope 1.9 doesnt kill the game like 1.7 did

[cyan sparrow]

[kindred fable]

What do you mean by "kill"?

[cobalt fiber]

Do you not remember the artifact fiasco?

[cyan sparrow]

Mol1t was running with a shovel almost a month

[marble gyro]

Man work is busy today

[ruby gale]

Love me a good set of thighs, nothing better imo

[marble gyro]

Bugs, bugs everywhere

[charred nova]

well it will break consoles for like the first week till the hot fix drops

then it will be alright

[kindred fable]

What was so different in 1.7? I kinda forgot already. Was it the one that added burers everywhere or was it 1.6 that did that?

[main jewel]

i will have to delete my mods

[kindred fable]

I thought that issue with them artifacts being stuck underground was in the game since 1.0, lol. Always heard about that since the release. Guess it became more frequent after 1.7

[charred nova]

that is also true

[kindred fable]

Most of my playtime was spent on 1.5, tbh

[signal radish]

I want to ask if you also have problems with the reputation system, I can't lower the relationship from green to orange

[graceful dirge]

The pure pain of being a console player am so used to my experience with mods by now wish I could prevent the game from updating to new version without just keeping my Xbox completely offline, 1.7 was definitely the worst thus far think it was over 3 weeks before I was able to play again with all my mods working

[ruby gale]

I know weird water had that problem for awhile but I never heard much about other artifacts doing it until a little while ago

[marble gyro]

It was mainly the random artifacts you can find not the legendaries as much

So the ones you had to detect with the detector, and they pop out into existence, those artifacts would get stuck under geound

Ground*

[stark crescent]

technically its not even ground. its a simple plane map texture. it would fall under the map.

[marble gyro]

That's like majority of games nowadays

[stark crescent]

yo. this week. my new airsofts should arrive. later, of course. they are only send today. i ordered a luger. a TT 33. a mosin nagant with PU scope, and a fly girls variant of the M1911.

[marble gyro]

Only ones that have underground textures are one with multiples levels from top to bottom, or survival games

[charred nova]

who is fly and why is she girl

[marble gyro]

That have terraforming

[stark crescent]

i would have also gotten my hands on a type 14 nambu, but it was made from plastic. not metal. bleh

[fossil dune]

Sorry if this has been asked lately or whatnot.

but, does anyone have anymore info regarding the Stalker 2- ultimate edition reprint from FinalBossBundle? if anyone knows if there is gonna be yet another delay, or if its finally set for next month?

[charred nova]

missed oppertunity no manlicher

[stark crescent]

thats the...straight pull, right?

[charred nova]

yes

if it didn't use a none zone compatible round id want it to be in stalker 2 imbr

[stark crescent]

trust me, if there is a replica version of it, i wanna have it

[marble gyro]

Oof

[stark crescent]

but sometimes, stuff are extremely rare to get. limited edition production etc. like that STEN smg? cant get it anywhere any more. and i looked as far as going to actual taiwanese airsoft shops.

[charred nova]

1895 browning

[stark crescent]

thats an actual gun yo

[charred nova]

well duh but like an airsoft version of it

[main jewel]

wheres our 7.62x54r one stalker

[stark crescent]

if i google browning m1895 airsoft, it shows me results of nagants lol

[main jewel]

please gsc, ignore that its russian please, and please add it my gsc

[charred nova]

i mean hey technically its pre evil russia

[main jewel]

gsc i know you stripped everything ru related even changing the names of some characters but plea

[charred nova]

imperial russia just kinda treated everyone badly

[main jewel]

they still aint gaf probably

[charred nova]

i mean they put the mosin in

the mosin is the most russian gun there is other than the ak47

[stark crescent]

wait. browning? isnt it a winchester 1895?

[charred nova]

technically yes but its a john browning design

[main jewel]

well that was requested by a big following

noone even knows the russians contracted a 1895

[charred nova]

makes me mad gsc added the most boring gun ever

like bro in ww1 russian soliders vastly prefered the 1895 over the mosin

[main jewel]

i hate how gsc f’ed up the scope reticle

why does everything have to be red

[charred nova]

they could have been cool and used the less well known ww2 soviet scope

the PEM scope

[stark crescent]

hmm

[main jewel]

i genuinely hope theres a mod that comes out that fixes those reticles

[charred nova]

it has a better reticle

[main jewel]

because the pso doesnt have a red tip either

[charred nova]

and is higher magnification slightly

[main jewel]

it looks interesting

[charred nova]

its .3x higher magnification and people say it was a less blurry sight

it apparently looks the same though

only really problem with the 1895 would be to put a scope on it gsc would have to get creative

since at least from what i can find it was never issued with a scope

ive seen some where people mounted this sight on them

[stark crescent]

ye, i heard the story. the PU scope was originally designed to fit on the rear of the svt-40, but that gun had accuracy issues. the heat would warp the barrel, causing bad grouping. now they had a bunch of scopes. lets retrofit them for the mosin. but no one actually said it was better or worse than the older scopes.

[charred nova]

technically the older scope is slightly better

but i do mean slightly

its like .3x magnification more on the older scope

[ruby gale]

I liked the svt-40, wish more games had it

[stark crescent]

you like the svt 40 cause its a semi auto, in a game 😛 in reality, it wasnt really liked much. but atleast it wasnt a gewehr 41

gewehr 43 airsoft. would i have paid the 1995,99 euro for it? maybe...

[charred nova]

i know a guy who has one and he says its not all its cracked up to be

or rather had one

he had to sell it cus hes moving to the states

[stark crescent]

like i said, barrel suffered from heat warping which made grouping suffer

[charred nova]

honestly just skip that and add the avt-40 instead

but in all seriousness the german and american semi autos were definitely a fair bit better than the russian ones

[stark crescent]

or you skip THAT, and you go for an SKS

gewehr 43 wasnt that good as well. it suffered from a weak bolt spring and firing pin, which often had to be replaced. german soldiers were really happy when they could replace their g 43 with a stg 44

[charred nova]

is all kinda pointless to theorize about though cus they all use totally none zone compatible ammo types

[stark crescent]

yea, but you can always add more ammo types

i mean. the ak 74 uses the new russian bullet, but older ak's? can easily add 7.62 x 39 back into the game

or maybe someone make a mod for it

[charred nova]

oh i agree

i think we are realistically only gonna get 7.62x39 re added

once they add some real guns that can use it

[stark crescent]

tkb-011

[charred nova]

that thing is mad goofy

instead of the l85

they should add the british EM1 or EM2

[stark crescent]

yea, like. they can deviate a little with the weaponry

[obtuse lodge]

Thats a funny gun

[stark crescent]

doesnt have to be 1:1 time period correct

[obtuse lodge]

How old is it?

[charred nova]

its a prototype from the 50s

[obtuse lodge]

Lol

[charred nova]

its kinda like a bull pup fal

[obtuse lodge]

Btw how did you get the roll „legend of the zone“?

[charred nova]

by reaching level 70

[obtuse lodge]

Ahhh thx

[marble gyro]

Keep yapping

[shell flax]

Add a Zone-bastardized Calico

[marble gyro]

Add k9 companion named Meat Dog

[ruby gale]

A dog would actually be cool to see, help find loot and stuff

[marble gyro]

Or just sit there like a good boy for head pats

[cyan sparrow]

#noPets

[charred nova]

add a pet wombat for skif

[marble gyro]

Pet burer

Be like a misguided child, that can apparently cast shields and use telekinesis like the dark ones from metro

[cyan sparrow]

Masculine in the zone should be fed by pole dancing nuns at any bar, not tapping pets head.

[marble gyro]

You can pet a dog, but you can't pet a nun

[ruby gale]

Says who

[shell flax]

Did you all think I meant a cat?

[ruby gale]

Well there is a cat called a calico, I have one named senu, pretty kitty

[marble gyro]

My cat is Grey and white

And her name is muffin

[shell flax]

Mines a tabby named Arthur

[marble gyro]

Fat or skinny?

[shell flax]

Skinny

He’s not even a year old yet

[marble gyro]

Ah, gotcha gotcha

[shell flax]

Posted a new picture of him in #🐺┃pets

[marble gyro]

That's a healthy cat

[hoary tundra]

Cute cat

He has a silly look

[vagrant pewter]

Welp I did a thing - first giant & they didn't like a shotgun to the face.

[main jewel]

yea you can

just make them submit and be your pet

[marble gyro]

[main jewel]

it isnt hard unless your weak

[marble gyro]

[main jewel]

[ruby gale]

[marble gyro]

[visual mortar]

[hoary tundra]

Oh my God, cat!

Duty cat!

[ruby gale]

Duty Belgian malinois

[marble gyro]

There is like nothing to do right now, so my boss wired into the speakers and put system of a down on

[ruby gale]

Hell yeah

Where do you work actually?

[marble gyro]

I'm just chilling in her office and hanging out until 4:30

Oh I work at a warehouse for Urban outfitters

I am a Forklift op

[ruby gale]

Nice, I work at a country side mechanic shop

Tractors, cars, trucks, and small equipment

[marble gyro]

Oh that's dope

[ruby gale]

Semis too

[marble gyro]

So you work on like those Cat tractors too?

[ruby gale]

I normally change all the tires, but ill do a few other things here and there, from brakes to pulling a transmission out

[marble gyro]

Oh nice

[ruby gale]

Not a lot of caterpillar stuff around here

[marble gyro]

Ah gotcha gotcha

Still pretty dope tho

[ruby gale]

Mostly deere, Holland, case, international, and a few others

[marble gyro]

Nice

[visual mortar]

same but im scrolling Instagram

[ruby gale]

But for cars and trucks anything except evs if its not tires

Tesla tires suck though because they're like 245/40/20

Or something around that

[marble gyro]

I don't know jack for tires, but sounds problematic for tesla

[ruby gale]

The smaller the xxx/number/xx the problem

[marble gyro]

Nothing wrong with some side scrolling the net

[marble gyro]

Ah

I understand now

[ruby gale]

Gets harder to jam a bar between the rim and bead without scuffing it when turning the table

[marble gyro]

I bet

[ruby gale]

Sorry tires are pretty much my whole area of expertise so I get really into it

[marble gyro]

All good man, no worries

My expertise is more so building

I'm a contractor by trade

[ruby gale]

My uncle went down that route, pretty sure he got fired because he was "too good"

Granted he's working for a place that makes aerospace parts now so

[marble gyro]

Thats.....kinda dumb, that he would get fired for being "too good" he could have fought that

[ruby gale]

Felt they were underpaying him for his experience so they just let him go

[marble gyro]

But I am also self employed, I own my own contracting business, I renovate houses, landscape, you name it, it's just winter there is never any work so I work seasonal for warehouses just so I wont die of boredom

[ruby gale]

Fair enough

[marble gyro]

Dude that sucks!! Screw that company

[fallen lion]

Hi! There's been a plethora of changes to guns and explosives. What is the goto lategame? Saiga and ?

[ruby gale]

Dnipro and svu id use for vanilla, but if you have BB anything works

[fallen lion]

BB? Dnipro with the rechamber, or stock ammo?

[marble gyro]

Saiga and gun

[ruby gale]

Better ballistics

[fallen lion]

Thats a mod i presume?

[fallen lion]

Im sorry, what do you mean?

[ruby gale]

And what'd they change the rechamber to, because it was 7.62x39

[marble gyro]

Saiga

And Gun

Endgame gear is essentially your preference

[fallen lion]

Woah, is that gone now?

[ruby gale]

Im pretty sure they removed 7.62x39 from vanilla, unless they re-added it

[marble gyro]

I thought that was base ammo for SVD

[charred nova]

it can still be found apparently

but its entirely useles

the conversion it had was changed to be 7.62x54r

[fallen lion]

God dammit. That was so much. And since the ammo was severely restricted at launch, it really felt like a investment to be used catiously.

[ruby gale]

Svd takes x54r

[marble gyro]

Ah

[fallen lion]

Why is this useless?

[charred nova]

7.62x39 is useless

no guns use it anymore

[ruby gale]

7.62x39 wasnt used for many guns at launch and was harder to find

[charred nova]

it was used by 2 guns at launch

[ruby gale]

Spitefire and dnipro right?

[charred nova]

did the spite fire use it im not even aware if it did

im only aware of the dnipro and the pkm

[fallen lion]

Yes, and i really liked that. Packed a punch, but had to be used sparingly. I thought ment useless as in... not working very well or being outshined by other stuff. At release it wasnt the best, but had a serious punch regardless.

[ruby gale]

Yes, because better ballistics rechambers it again

[ruby gale]

Thats right, the pkm did too

[marble gyro]

What if....7.62x39 is going to be used for Ak74?

[charred nova]

why would it be

[ruby gale]

Unless they add more stuff that uses it i dont see it coming back

[charred nova]

the 74 only fires 5.45x39

[ruby gale]

Exactly

[charred nova]

the issue you run into is there really are not many unique aks that actually fire 7.62x39

[fallen lion]

We need a AK-103!

[ruby gale]

I still want the ak-12

[charred nova]

with out having a bunch of guns that all look super similiar but aren't

[fallen lion]

It's sorta a ak-74 chambered with 7.62

[ruby gale]

Not unless you start looking at custom made weapons

[charred nova]

like there is the AEK ak12 and rk 62

or rk 95

[ruby gale]

Yep, big fan of the ak-12

[charred nova]

its like a galil kinda

[ruby gale]

Especially in kf2

[charred nova]

but finnish

[regal sinew]

Finnish? I’m just getting started.

[ruby gale]

Id like the Automatkarbin 5

[regal sinew]

Badum tss.

[ruby gale]

More FN weapons in general would be cool too

[shell flax]

Galil Ace

[charred nova]

PUBG

PUBG!!!!!!!!!!

[ruby gale]

Never liked brs

[shell flax]

Did I just trigger a memory or something

[charred nova]

ye

could be a good weapon to have with 7.62x39

[shell flax]

Also think a Jericho pistol to give 9x19 some more love would be neat

[ruby gale]

I haven't heard that name in forever

[charred nova]

imbr i want the alien pistol

[ruby gale]

Id like a DVC P 2011

[charred nova]

alien pistol would be super cool to have in game

[ruby gale]

I was never a fan of the alien pistol

Not bad, just didn't go out of my way to use it

[charred nova]

your just like boring man you probably eat ice soup and wood shavings everyday

[ruby gale]

[charred nova]

skif needs to be able to use a comp pistol

cus that would be cool

or just add this pistol instead

[ruby gale]

92XI SAO

[charred nova]

no contest lets be real

[ruby gale]

I thought you meant from fo4

I didnt know you meant an actual pistol named the alien

[charred nova]

oh

no

its a real pistol comp pistol called the alien

its made by laugo arms

and retails for like 5k dollars

[ruby gale]

That actually looks like itd be fun to shoot

[charred nova]

its apparently an incredible pistol from all accounts

[ruby gale]

Still 5k is crazy

[regal sinew]

Strayer Voight make nicer pistols imo.

[charred nova]

yah not to mention its almost never in stock

[charred nova]

not cooler though

[regal sinew]

Yeah definitely cooler.

[charred nova]

doubt

[shell flax]

Smith & Wesson 350 legend revolver

[ruby gale]

The Grach

Would make actual sense to have the mp-443 grach

[charred nova]

the alien is super cool cus its basically a one of a kind hand gun

[hoary tundra]

[frigid hill]

Onward warriors of the Monolith, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Monolith.
Bring death to those who spurned the holy power of the Monolith.

[charred nova]

you can see the crazy action better in this photo

[mystic temple]

The alien is insane

[drifting forge]

Goddamn, looks fun

[mystic temple]

I usually don’t do pistol competitions anymore - they encourage things that I don’t agree with

Especially USPSA

[ruby gale]

Wonder what a jam on that looks like

[charred nova]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbGCL3iRm2Y

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeOiag-hnG0

[shell flax]

I’m still not paying 5k for a pistol when I could buy a H&K rifle with that cash

[charred nova]

well its a comp pistol

[ruby gale]

Exactly my line of thought, there's much cheaper pistols that'd work fine

[charred nova]

its not really meant to be practical

[mystic temple]

Based HK

[ruby gale]

Heckler does koke

[mystic temple]

https://tenor.com/view/marge-i-just-think-theyre-neat-the-simpsons-neat-potato-gif-8549864

[regal sinew]

Yeah tbf, that’s pretty cool what the slide does, never knew it done that on the alien, it’s just not a nice looking pistol to me, but it is cool.

[ruby gale]

I love H&K too but man, some of their designs were weird

[charred nova]

your opinion is just wrong but ill let it slide this time

[regal sinew]

G11 lol wtf is that.

[charred nova]

[shell flax]

I was gonna comment then I remembered I fully intend to buy a DP-12 shotgun in the future so I can’t say much

[charred nova]

get the mega version

thats double long

[shell flax]

That’s the KSG

[regal sinew]

Imagine we all had the same taste in everything, my how the world would be a boring asf place breh.

[ruby gale]

I want a SIX12 at some point

[shell flax]

My LGS had a Vepr 12 for like a single day for sale

[ruby gale]

Its not real, but i want

[ruby gale]

Reminds me of the character from A7X animated video of "A Little Piece of Heaven"

[charred nova]

its the loss meme

[ruby gale]

It looked familiar but I couldn't place it

[fallen lion]

Is there any differences in trader prices? Like, for guns, artifacts, armour etc?

[ruby gale]

Just had to skin my knuckle before I left work today, big red spot that stings now right behind the PIP joint

[regal sinew]

Nah, afaik it works off your reputation with that certain faction. So whoever you have the best rep with will give you the best prices.

[ruby gale]

Gun vendors are usually the best, and i haven't really noticed a difference in prices based on area and rep

[fallen lion]

I see. How can i tell what my reputation is?

[ruby gale]

Green is good, white is neutral, and red is bad

[regal sinew]

You can’t really lol, if their icon is green in the map means you have high rep I think.

[fallen lion]

I see! Speaking of red traders.. i wanna trade with the shah. But obviously im not allowed in. Not even with the shah viper in my hand. Anything im missing?

[ruby gale]

You should NOT have his gun in hand, they dont like that

[fallen lion]

Noo, but i've tried anything at this point lol

[twilit osprey]

Hey baby boos......did any of you order the Physical collector's edition OR the Limited editions of this game?

[ruby gale]

I've never had a positive interaction with shahs guys, I usually kill on sight

[fallen lion]

I had on release. But dont remember how i did it...

[carmine star]

bring his weapon to his place

[twilit osprey]

I'm still waiting to get my sets

[regal sinew]

Was probably a bug lol.

[charred nova]

why would you give up shahs mate

its such a good weapon

[fallen lion]

I remember it had something to do with the Viper.

[fallen lion]

Thats fair. Just dont really use it honestly.

[regal sinew]

I think you just need to have it in your inventory rather than equipped and maybe then a new dialogue option appears?

[charred nova]

i found out in current version of the game its literally better than the vecter

which is funny

[fallen lion]

I tried that too, kinda what i remember doing on release but now... nothing?

[regal sinew]

Probably borked with one of the updates.

[marble gyro]

Off work finally had a last minute order

[ruby gale]

Im gonna take a bath, covered in oil and dirt, talk in a bit

[marble gyro]

I'm going to stuff my mouth with Gummi clusters

[fallen lion]

Yeah probably. Havent really paid attention to all the updates and the game in general, but genuinely assumed most of the larger bugs where fixed by now

And we still cant unequip skifs pistol huh. Guess it makes sense why really wanna use a different sidearm. Its a good gun tho

[regal sinew]

You can unequip it, you just can’t store it.

[ruby gale]

Foods gonna be cold but I feel grimy

[fallen lion]

My bad, terribly phrased. YEs you are correct, thats what i ment.

[regal sinew]

Well, it’s not like it weighs much so that’s not a big deal imo, make sense to always have it on us since that’s the weapon Skif uses in a few of the cutscenes.

[fallen lion]

Yes i know and kinda agree. Just.. cluttered inventory!

[regal sinew]

Yeah lol.

[ruby gale]

Skifs pistol is ok, but deadeye is better

[empty hare]

I don't think ive ever used any pistol other than skifs

[regal sinew]

Just be nicer if it wasn’t pre-rendered cutscenes and the weapon choice actually changed and reflected to what you have equipped in cutscenes. Nightstalker would look so cool in cutscenes lol.

[empty hare]

Broomstick in every cutscene

[ruby gale]

Gauss gun

Or pkm

[regal sinew]

||Shoot Solder||in that cutscene with an RPG

[ruby gale]

Waters warm, gonna disappear for 30mins at least

[fallen lion]

I keep procrastinating the red forest venture. God i hate that place.

[digital geyser]

Burers taking your weapon away and launching it to the core of the earth is always a fun and good time

[fallen lion]

Burers is one thing. But all the god damn controllers. Gives me the creeps and they are so hard to find sometimes..

[ruby gale]

Its not that bad, follow the road and have psi/anti-rad drugs

[fallen lion]

Yeah you are right. Its just... Really hate that place. Btw, about psi drugs, where can these be found/bought? Got like 2 so far which is nearly enough.

[ruby gale]

I think normally doctors sell it, as for where to find them im not positive

Maybe bartenders

[regal sinew]

That’s funny, it’s my favourite map in Anomaly.

One of the few maps you have to venture with a clenched butthole.

[fallen lion]

Only played stalker 2 in the series. Somehow never got into the stalker series before the second one. All the controllers messing with me....

[lost needle]

The red forest is by far my least favorite map in stalker

Stalker 2 makes it so much better

[ruby gale]

I hate the swamps more

[lost needle]

I despised it in clear sky

[fallen lion]

It's been worse ?? Christ

[frigid hill]

crawnix has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lost needle]

Anomalies every 2 metres and full or mutants

[regal sinew]

Wolf’d.

[lost needle]

Whole map has 5 friendly npcs

Not counting the bridge to lymansk

[regal sinew]

Aye fugg the swamps.

[lost needle]

How do you guys not like the swamps

Its an amazing "intro" area for clear sky

[regal sinew]

I dunno lol. Just sucks.

[fallen lion]

Swamp is... fine imo. Bit rough during certain... quests but overall fine. At least the enemies can be found fairly easy and fought!

[lost needle]

Plus, cs drip

[lost needle]

Yeah and theres a lotta money to be made in the swamps

Too bad theres no clear sky armor in s2

Or corps armor i wouldve loved that

[regal sinew]

Maybe the DLC will bring them.

[fallen lion]

Yeah absolutely! And lot of nice stuff in general. The drunk bottle artifact thingy is a must there.

[lost needle]

Dunno, theres a lot of armors i would love to see in the game anyway

[lost needle]

Trenchcoat loner radsuit ssp99m and so on

[lost needle]

Yup, lovely side missions too

I really liked hontas missions

[jolly vector]

Is there any benefits to killing sultan or beard?

[ruby gale]

Not that I know of

[lost needle]

None

[ruby gale]

Except the clusterfuck up in the tower

[lost needle]

No reason to kill them in 3 captains unless if youre just evil

[lost needle]

You get it anyway

[ruby gale]

Yeah

[tranquil mantle]

I'm seriously procrastinating doing the chimera chase

[tranquil mantle]

Oh dang I did it first try SIUUUUU

[ruby gale]

Dead chat

[regal sinew]

Nice one Ronaldo.

[tranquil mantle]

That sprint took me 30 tries on my first run

I feel unstoppable, give me Faust in a fist fight

[lilac forum]

hi stalkers

i played STALKER 2 in my school today </3

[tranquil mantle]

nice

[ruby gale]

I want to play drums again, but a decent drum set that isn't electric is expensive

[ruby gale]

Like $800

[tranquil mantle]

I played drums when I was super young and remember it being very fun, you should

[ruby gale]

Got too much stuff im saving up for, a pc for next gen, new car, back-up funds, and now a drum set

[charred nova]

project car when

[ruby gale]

When I find a body that isnt eaten alive by the iowan elements

[tranquil mantle]

Build a PC that also functions as a drum set

[ruby gale]

Or overpriced

[charred nova]

travel to the land where cars do not rust is what i do

[ruby gale]

Yamaha SBP0F50 Stage Custom Birch 5-piece Shell Pack - Deep Blue is what im looking at getting

[ruby gale]

I want something local, dont feel like hauling something on a trailer across states

[charred nova]

come on now bro thats like half the fun no?

THE JOURNY IS WHAT MAKE IT WORTH IT

[ruby gale]

There was a black 1969 mercury cougar i was keeping an eye on

[tranquil mantle]

I should have stuck with the drums, now I can't play any instrument lol

[charred nova]

im still praying i find my good condition serie 5 rx7 in white

GOTTA BE WHITE

one of these day ill find one

[ruby gale]

If I ever got a rx7 itd have to be the 10th anniversary

[charred nova]

there is one for sale near me but its a wreck

and guy still wants like 20k for it

[ruby gale]

HA, no

[charred nova]

like it runs and drives and has an interior

but the entire car needs to be repainted

[ruby gale]

There was a guy around here that wanted 12k for a roller of a 1970s charger but it looked like absolute junk

[charred nova]

like imbr if bro wanted only like 15k or something i might consider cuss it makes 350hp

still has the original theft protection glass even

[ruby gale]

I've always wanted something i can start from scratch on

[charred nova]

yah i mean i just want a white series 5 body

having a 10ae is nice but then id feel bad modding it

[ruby gale]

Somethings are better left untouched

[charred nova]

would be like modding a spirit r

[ruby gale]

Im only really into muscle because I grew up around it

Last project my dad had was a 1979 f-350 dentside with a 500 stroker and a zf5 transmission

[charred nova]

i did a gm small 327 when i was in auto class it was pretty cool i will admit

still miffed though we did not get to finish it before the semester ended

[tranquil mantle]

Do you have a good car market where you're from?

[ruby gale]

It depends on the time of year

[charred nova]

no but virginia is only like 600 some mile away and they do

not so bad

[tranquil mantle]

I live in Phoenix and the market is crazy here, every car you could imagine for dirt cheap

No rust on anything either

[charred nova]

all your car got cracked dash though

thats the trade off

[tranquil mantle]

Yeah rubbers don't last nearly as long

[charred nova]

north carolina and virginia are like the best of both worlds

it doesn't get too cold down there so little rust

but doen't get hot enough for dash boards to crack

Is there any way to sneak into pripyat nowadays? my old self found route was patched, sadly.

[tranquil mantle]

I bought a really dumb car earlier this year because I couldn't pass it up, bought swapped kia soul with a tuned ecu, custom exhaust , and a giant inake lol

[charred nova]

people don't say how anymore cus if they do it gets patched

[ruby gale]

Hell right now for 9k I could go get a decommissioned 2016 dodge charger 5.7 rwd

[charred nova]

auto or manual gear box

[ruby gale]

Cop car, automatic

[charred nova]

tsk tsk well i guess you can just trans sawp it

[ruby gale]

Look, I think manual is cool, but its a pain in cities

[fallen lion]

Yeah, thats why i never spilled my route, yet never saw anyone talk about it. Sadge

[charred nova]

boo hoo

ive driven through new york during rush hour with one

i will hear no complaining about traffic and manualss

[ruby gale]

I just dont care, automatic is more convenient for everyday driving, manual is better for showing off

[charred nova]

brother is not dedicated to the cause

smh

[ruby gale]

Nope, im dedicated to nothing except making it through another year, and even thats a stretch

[charred nova]

manuals are dying out gotta drive em as often as possible

this is the way

practicality be damned

[ruby gale]

Yeah, not many roll into the shop either, which is surprising given its surrounded by farms

I just found a 2007 saab 9-3 2.0t for $1,200

[charred nova]

the sabbaru

[ruby gale]

Its actually in decent condition, got a potential fuel pump issue and the ignition is doing saab things

[charred nova]

wait is that the saab with a subaru drive train

or is that a different one

[ruby gale]

No, GM

Thats the 9-2X I think

[charred nova]

oh

[ruby gale]

9-3 is GM/Opel

[charred nova]

guy my town who collects saabs actually

out front of his garage he got probably 12 different saab 900 turbo in various states of decay

[ruby gale]

My dad had a 9000

My dad has had at least 30 different vehicles

[charred nova]

that crazy bruh

[fallen lion]

f*** yeah i got a thunderberry

[ruby gale]

I tried copy/pasting his list, dude that thing is longer than my phone screen

[charred nova]

did he ever own a rotary i gotta ask haha

[ruby gale]

He avoids rotary engines, not a fan of them

[quartz obsidian]

I got two in a row the other day in the same place after i passed through it twice

[charred nova]

fair

[ruby gale]

Legendary artifacts do seem easier to find now

[fallen lion]

Doesnt artifacts only respawn after emissions? Or whatever its called

[quartz obsidian]

Not that I’m aware of, this was in the same day. I was going from rostok to garbage and back

[fallen lion]

Woah

[regal sinew]

Yep, they’re only supposed to respawn after emissions. Most likely a bug otherwise.

[quartz obsidian]

I stand corrected, you’re absolutely correct

[fallen lion]

I cant find a acog or high power scope for the ar15 anywhere...

[fallen lion]

Yeah thats what i remember from the game at release. Its not been changed?

[regal sinew]

You can find an M10 rifle in Army Warehouses in Chemical Plant area with an ACOG already attached to it.

[quartz obsidian]

It just dawned on me that there was an emission on the way back

It’s something I never really paid attention to, as i typically don’t go artifact hunting much..well never did

[fallen lion]

Hnnnng... that means i gotta fight the controller down there then. I hate controllers!

[regal sinew]

Nope. Afaik that’s always been the thing with artifacts, always respawn after a blowout.

[charred nova]

the only 8x scope im aware of is found attached to a m14 in Pripyat

[quartz obsidian]

@fallen lion I have a few in my trunk

[regal sinew]

I mean.. you don’t have to.

[fallen lion]

Im gonna do a wild shot here. American? 😛

[fallen lion]

Eeeeh... Thats true yeah sure but but... it has to die!

[regal sinew]

I dunno man, I find controllers more annoying than difficult tbh, just keep some distance so it can’t hit you with that Psi-blast it does when it’s close to you and you’re fine, it will just spam that attack that makes your screen shake tf.

[fallen lion]

Yeah its not really the difficulty or annoyance really. This game just scares the everliving sh*t out of me, and particularly controllers.

[regal sinew]

Nice, you get that eerie vibe from the game? I don’t get that anymore, not after 10+ years of playing Sdalger lol.

[fallen lion]

Oh absolutely i do! Even when i know exactly whats coming it freaks me out. No other game does this...

[regal sinew]

That’s good tbh.

[fallen lion]

Yeah, it keeps it interesting.

[regal sinew]

Think the last time Stalker made me shat myself was probably a Chimera playing Anomaly or something since they don’t have proper footstep sounds so they can fully creep on you lol.

[fallen lion]

Welp, going to yaniv and i'm really really not happy about it. Wish me luck i guess. (God i hate red forest)

[regal sinew]

Stick to the path, you’ll be fine.

[fallen lion]

Thank you! Now where was that bloodsucker again.. i know it spawns somewhere along this path.

[regal sinew]

This is where you know some form of a-life exists, as I’m playing on Master, and have not encountered a bloodsucker in Red Forest.

[fallen lion]

I remember it from my firsts save at release. Was always in the ish same area. I wonder if stuff like that can be random?

[regal sinew]

Might be a bit more random now that a-life has had some pass overs and tweaks. It may have wandered off somewhere.

[fallen lion]

Fine for me! Totally fine, no problem at all.

[regal sinew]

Keep your head on a swivel.

And your bunghole puckered.

[fallen lion]

You can kinda hear them far away. Bloodsuckers can be pinpointed fairly precise with just sound.

[regal sinew]

That’s true.

You normally hear them roaring when you get close enough.

It’s when you hear it going invisible lol.

[fallen lion]

Hnnng saiga for sale.... Its either that or finding the saiga in heli scrap yard or whatever. A place i really dont wanna go....

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO HARPY?!
