UNFORTUNATY

[charred nova]

unless valve has just been gaslight everyone about the pricing

[thorn niche]

Also, steam deck is limited on what you can put on it. You have to go out of your way to physically change some of its hardware just to make it bettee

[pastel bolt]

To expensive for me rn

[thorn niche]

Im saying that as someone who invests in theirs

[copper radish]

Lol at least you can

[smoky hawk]

no really, unless you mean you want to install like windows

[smoky hawk]

same cost as a console

[pastel bolt]

Ngl is steam deck worth it just to play games

[thorn niche]

Linux os is fine tbh

[smoky hawk]

Steam OS

[thorn niche]

Its basically the same

[smoky hawk]

no

it isnt

[copper radish]

Arch + KDE + Proton

[empty hare]

You guys think the GabeCube will be any good? The concept is fantastic imo

[smoky hawk]

price dependant

[charred nova]

the price will be too high

to really make it a hit

[smoky hawk]

if you tell me to pay 1200 Id just buy a Framework PC

[thorn niche]

I wasnt being literal

[charred nova]

it NEEDs to cost 600 to 700 bux

but it just wont be

[thorn niche]

Its raining now... cant work on truck...

[empty hare]

If it was <$700 itd steal a huge chunk of the xbox market

[pastel bolt]

What pc can I get for 400$?

[charred nova]

likely between 900 and 1200 dollars

which for that price is not worth it

[empty hare]

Yeah, just build a more powerful PC yourself for that much

[copper radish]

The appeal of the Deck is that you can carry it around

[charred nova]

well if you want something similar the framework desktop would likely be a better gaming pc

[smoky hawk]

if you want the cheapest possible stuff you can look at the 2nd hand market, if not try to go for prebuilts with upgrade paths, and get a xx60 series card on second hand
either all that or get a powerful MiniPC

[empty hare]

Honestly the Steam Deck is ideal for my use case, but i absolutely cannot justify $900-1000 for what it offers

[smoky hawk]

BeeLink PCs with Ryzen 7 5800 CPUs go for 300

[charred nova]

some of those mini pcs have oculink ports too

which allows you to upgrade to a full size gpu later on

[pastel bolt]

Thank you bro 👍

Ima look into trying to get a pc soon

[copper radish]

Is that how much it sells for??

[empty hare]

Speculation is bare minimum $900 once it releases. Valve said "about the same as a similar spec PC"

[smoky hawk]

Choose them mini pcs carefully once you get them its pratically impossible to upgrade parts bc they solder everything into the board to cut cost prices and make it as small as possible, but there are a lot of good mini pcs out there with enthusiat level CPUs so it balances out

[copper radish]

Aaaahh why did I think yall are on about the Deck...? Sry

[charred nova]

ive heard good things about minisforum pcs

speaking of gaming hand held machines

i ordered an ayn thor which im excited to try out should arrive by end of month hopefully

[ruby gale]

Like a 3ds?

Man, I wonder where my 2 went

[charred nova]

thats the idea

considering a dual ips 3ds is like 1000 dollars these days

and the top spec ayn thor is like 450

[ruby gale]

But speaking of handheld stuff, im loving the nacon revolution x unlimited

[hardy totem]

(3)ds was peak

[charred nova]

when it was affordable

people want stupid money for them now

[hardy totem]

Really?

[charred nova]

https://www.ayntec.com/products/ayn-thor?variant=46692546674880

yes

like as i said a new 3ds with dual ips screens

is easily 1000 dollars or more

[smoky hawk]

its a gimmick

[hardy totem]

Eh, my old new 3ds xl still works fine

And it runs emulators

[charred nova]

i got one a few years ago from japan and even that was hella money

but its pearl white which is hype

but the ayn thor just does everything a 3ds does but better

and costs less money

[hardy totem]

-# I'm intrigued

[charred nova]

the only downside is since it doesn't use the same style touch screen

you need to buy one of those smart pens

if you want to play anything that requires heavy precision tapping

[ruby gale]

Speaking of the 3ds reminded me of pokemon, which reminded me of pokemon fusion, which i now want to play after work

[hardy totem]

There's some properly cursed fusions in there

[ruby gale]

Especially with custom sprites

[charred nova]

there are a ton of reviews on youtube first dualscreen hand held ive seen so far that got almost universal praise

only other one was an ayneo which made some crazy 1500 dollar dual screen hand held

[charred nova]

i remember that use to be crazy on youtube shorts for a while

[copper radish]

Ayn
Ayneo
Are they related?

[charred nova]

ayneo is there luxery brand i guess

like lexus to toyota

[copper radish]

Vanity brand 🤣

[ruby gale]

Watched panda and wildcat do a mini series on it together

[spare canopy]

does anyone have an idea about how much the new steam controller will cost?

[charred nova]

at worst 100 bux probably

but probably less than that

[spare canopy]

good stuff, I might have to partake when it is released

[charred nova]

they technically have a vanity version of the thor but from reviews that i saw its worse in a lot of key ways

[charred nova]

for me its 2 hour long terraria challenge run videos

[copper radish]

Never had the chance to try a steam controller, not sure if it can be used to play FPS games normally

With the touch sensor thing

[hardy totem]

Ever watched the old terraria playthrough on youtube by Jesse and TB?

[charred nova]

no i watched baum

baum was my first introduction to terraria and terraria modding

[hardy totem]

When did you first play, update-wise?

[charred nova]

i played old gen console for a while

first played pc like 1.2.4 but never really PLAYED the game for real till about 1.3

[hardy totem]

Yeah 1.2 was huge

Initially they didn't intend to develop passed 1.1

[charred nova]

yah well

if time has shown us anything they can't put this game down

[hardy totem]

Nope:' D

[charred nova]

we have had like 4 final updates now

[hardy totem]

Yeah relogic are my favorite devs

[charred nova]

like terraria is a game that often goes on sale for 5 dollars

and yet they still keep updating it

even after over 10 years

[hardy totem]

And porting it

[vapid galleon]

red

[charred nova]

kinda sad we never got terraria 2

but at the same time probably for the best

terraria was perfected because we never got a terraria 2

[hardy totem]

I'm okay with this format

[charred nova]

and once you get tired of it you can go play calamity mod infernum mode and wrath of the gods

[vapid galleon]

they're afraid of failing and instead of coming up with something completely new, they keep "supporting the game" There are tons of games that are perfected and have multiple games, and there's absolutely no obstacle for Terraria 2

[charred nova]

terraria 2 was being co developed by another studio

and basically that studio spent an entire year doing absolutely nothing

which is what ended up causing the game to be cancelled

[spare canopy]

I would have sued them into oblivion

[vapid galleon]

why another studio lol

[charred nova]

relogic tried getting another studio on board but ended up deciding it was more trouble than it was worth and cancelled the project instead

[charred nova]

this was over 10 years ago

re logic was a small dev team and terraria 2 was meant to be something bigger

[vapid galleon]

Supporting Teraria and simultaneously developing the second game isn't that difficult

[charred nova]

that was what the second studio was meant to help with

so they could do both

if you wanna say they are afraid to make a new game i mean that might be true

there other games did not really pan out well

they made 2 other games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_Piracy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_Privateers

[vapid galleon]

wait for Replaced 👌 I do not actually care about Terraria devs

[charred nova]

who?

[vapid galleon]

wdym mean with who

Replaced is a game that gonna release in 2026

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1663850/REPLACED/

[charred nova]

oh

[vapid galleon]

also Enter The Gungeon 2 can be released in 2026, it's a good game too

if you interest with 2D games

[ruby gale]

Im gonna snitch on myself by saying im watching vtubers, internet city, and Nikko Ortiz recently

[charred nova]

i will never understand vtubers

most of them are so annoying to listen to

[vapid galleon]

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

imagine being a vtuber

[ruby gale]

I mean, I wouldn't want my face on the internet either if I was a woman, so I cant blame them

[charred nova]

if they are even a women

[vapid galleon]

*[Sidorovich laughs]

[ruby gale]

Its pretty easy to spot the guys

[charred nova]

is it though

[ruby gale]

They're not as subtle as they think

[charred nova]

plenty of cases ive seen

of mass devisation when it turns out someones favorite mommy vtuber was actually a dude

[weary hedge]

@dull arrow !!!!

[vapid galleon]

[ruby gale]

Even if they were, which they arent with the few i watch, they're still funny regardless

[charred nova]

fair i mean its not for me but im not not judging less your watching nux or something

[ruby gale]

Absolutely not

Mostly indie vtubers too, no ironmouse, chibi, or shylily shit

[charred nova]

yah some of the major ones are insanely loli coded which is a bit rough

[ruby gale]

Which is think chibi is indie but her humor is like speed/jinxy humor which it dogshıt

[charred nova]

yah speed is just not funny to me

[ruby gale]

I genuinely dont know how he got popular or how he still kinda is

[charred nova]

my most watched channel right now are probably chud logic and yardis

[ruby gale]

Mine is either internet city, kevduit, nikko ortiz, or pipislayer/berrycrepe

Its a mixup

[cyan sparrow]

The last one looks like a anu$

[charred nova]

like bro i was driving to school today and chud started streaming on kick with some FIRE new content that just dropped

[thorn niche]

Nvm

I sucked it up and fi ished my work outside

[charred nova]

a vaush situation had just accured

thats not the real commentary community

[spare canopy]

I just found a pair of NVG 3rd gen... a nice funky blue

[ruby gale]

Speaking of community drama people, I leave with saying moist critical is overrated and boring

[cyan sparrow]

It's kelvin

[dusky pawn]

Its blue

[charred nova]

well it wont talk about any real drama

like bro people tried to take his head off for saying um actually idubbbs going on a mega cringe apology tour is bad

[spare canopy]

I love the water spout flinging fish and frogs everywhere too

[vapid galleon]

I once saw a famous game reviewer finish Stalker 2 in 3 days (using weight and money cheats) and then complain about the game, saying he didn't understand the story

[charred nova]

he also totally fumbled his debate with sneeko

people often forget bro fumbled the bag hard

[vapid galleon]

:D?

[thorn niche]

Its based off of white phosphor nvgs. They appear blueish green cuz its countering the dark background

[cyan sparrow]

Not only me sitting in the bushes, and exploring the enviro

[spare canopy]

yeah, there is a water spout in the game moving about, and its sucking up fish and frogs, and flinging them everywhere.... This is one of the bits the game does so so well...

[thorn niche]

No he didnt. That pdf c*ck sneeko just deflected and doubled down😅

[charred nova]

you don't know what happened.....

[vapid galleon]

hmm i think you're using this anomaly to get your evening meal

[charred nova]

it happened at the very end

Oh no he didn't!

i do love getting sucked by the water orb

[charred nova]

i can't talk about the question or the topic but

he basically gave the worse possible answer to sneekos last question

[spare canopy]

Makes a change from noshing sausage

[vapid galleon]

nice way

[shell flax]

Was this before or after Sneako flashed a loaded gun on stream while dancing like a drunk

[charred nova]

after

i really wish i could explain what happened but

its a banned topic in this server

[shell flax]

Politics or fuckshit?

[cyan sparrow]

Once i was standing, and looking on the spot where you find wiredball, and i came to conclusion that everything begin s&cked in, but not the pack of blind dogs running at me

well its kinda both

i can dm you what happened if you want

once you do all three quests for the mutant parts, do you get more?

[deep shale]

so anything stalker-ish for the xbox developer direct ?

[shell flax]

I still need to cook the rest of the deer we got

venison nice

[ruby gale]

Saw some deer yesterday outside my apartment, 3 of them just strolling by

Just a female and 2 little ones

[dusky pawn]

We have boars instead
They just roam the city in a 8-10 pack a few days ago even managed to block a tram lmfao

Deer arent that suicidal

[cobalt fiber]

Just treated myself to a box

[charred nova]

You gonna share me one

[deep shale]

thats quite a spread on the price of those cigars

[ruby gale]

Eh, ive never been one for smoking, drinking however

[main jewel]

prh

[charred nova]

I’ve never smoked and only drank once

Ay it’s lexa

[deep shale]

not a fan of hard liqour it tastes like lighter fluid to me but heavy belgian beers yum

[main jewel]

im so sleepby

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah not bad at all

Obviously cheaper in bulk

[charred nova]

Well high proof alcohol is basically gasoline

[deep shale]

duvel or la chouffe

[cobalt fiber]

Montecristo ‘A’ is £185 per single

I want some Cohibas too

[deep shale]

cosplaying fidel castro or something lol

[cobalt fiber]

Davidoff is very good but they smoke too quick compared to the Cubans

[ruby gale]

Shit same, but thats all the time, not a morning person

[charred nova]

Mate it’s 1pm

TIME TO WAKE UP

[deep shale]

7pm in the netherlands

[cobalt fiber]

Mate it’s 6PM!!!!

[dusky pawn]

Cuban cigar prices are lowkey ridic esp in the US

[charred nova]

Wait do you live in the uk

[dusky pawn]

But overall cigars are cool tbh

[charred nova]

For some reason I thought you
Lived in the states

[spare canopy]

do you get more mutant orders from malachite when you have done the first three?

[cobalt fiber]

I can hardly believe I spent a grand and a half on a box

[dusky pawn]

Slightly less harmful than normal cigs and way less addicting

[charred nova]

Spent all that money and won’t even share with the bros

[dusky pawn]

Me when good olivas are like 20$ per

[cobalt fiber]

I use cigars as an excuse to excuse myself from social gatherings

[ruby gale]

No, ill lay on these -5f tires/air and fall asleep right now

[deep shale]

you only live once and you should have some fun with it do the crazy expensive thing you always felt like doing

[dusky pawn]

Lmao worth

[charred nova]

My man got balls of steel

[dusky pawn]

I wish i could do that with whisky/bourb

[cobalt fiber]

Nothing like a room full of people you cba with so you go and smoke for an hour +

[spare canopy]

Now then, now then

[ruby gale]

From the few pictures hes sent previously I found it pretty obvious

[dusky pawn]

And a lot of people wont even realise it will take that long cause most people are clueless about how cigars 'work'

[ruby gale]

I LOVE the cold, use to sleep in improvised igloos at 8

Apparently we’re getting another American company trying to crack the VSS/Val irl, ammo included

Hopefully this one isn’t led by a meth head

[ruby gale]

Rather have a honeybadger

3.2k

For the badger

[ruby gale]

Worth it

[shell flax]

It doesn’t come with the suppressor

[ruby gale]

3k with suppressor here

[shell flax]

Honestly I’m looking more at vests for my merc stuff

[ruby gale]

I just find vests in public as a civvy cringe/clunky

[shell flax]

I didn’t say armored vest

[dusky pawn]

Its just fabric its not that deep

[dusky pawn]

About 7.5k for a vss in Poland that definitely wasnt smuggled from UA

[ruby gale]

Cringe is an overstatement, more like weird

[shell flax]

Weird for me would be a whole ass IOTV, all attachments

[dusky pawn]

Its not useful for day to day but if someone spends over 8 hours somewhere in the wilderness its not a bad solution

[ruby gale]

Yeah that makes sense

[shell flax]

Probably gonna grab my vest also for hunting next season

[dusky pawn]

Like say if someone has a setup with a backpanel and some larger pouches that might be a better setup than a backpack for just hiking adjacent activities

[shell flax]

My buddy joked I should look at an OPS Core helmet and I’m like

Mfer I ain’t paying 1.5k for a helmet

Hell even airsoft replicas can eat into a couple hundred

[dusky pawn]

Helmets are giga useless for a civvie

Id rather spend that k on crye/uf pro and good footwear

[shell flax]

Nah, a team Wendy would be nice for deep hikes

[dusky pawn]

For what you might as well just wear a non balistic for rocks or whatever and thats a stretch anyway

[shell flax]

There are non ballistic team Wendy’s

[dusky pawn]

Just buy a protec or whatever they were called

You arent in the military you dont need it to look like a fast for uniformity purposes

Besides a lot of SF used pro tecs at some point

[shell flax]

Pro tec are actual dog shit

One's a polymer shell designed to protect you from rocks the other is a polymer shell designed to protect you from rocks but without gucci tax

it was minus 19C a few days ago

[dusky pawn]

And its been like that for a week

[proven hollow]

winter should be banned

[dusky pawn]

Summer should

[cyan sparrow]

So far games for 'modern audience' ...

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah

Pure slop

[deep shale]

fable now

[hardy rune]

anyone know if the steam frame can run this game?

[deep shale]

well that was a waste of time

only fable was interesting

wish they would make a new black and white god game though

[cyan sparrow]

Actualy Fable made up the stream.

[deep shale]

yeah the only game i want to play out of the 4

and since its made without peter molyneux its probably going to be every bit the game that they promise its going to be

[foggy olive]

As for me It depends , do they have electricity or blackout -_-

[cobalt fiber]

Can’t wait for fable

[robust pendant]

You'll have to wait until the steam frame comes out to know

[hardy rune]

thats fair

really hyped for it. my vr headset broke so im excited

[shell flax]

Still funny to me all hype for the steam machine evaporated

[empty hare]

You think we'll ever get Elder Scrolls 6?

They teased it once like 10 years ago

[robust pendant]

After ram prices, I dont think theres much celebrate sadly

Its going to come out in the worst moment possible

[shell flax]

I’m talking more how people were absolutely certain it would be console priced, despite Valve themselves saying it would be PC priced

[robust pendant]

Well yeah thats peoples fault idk

[shell flax]

Also Steam Machine is just a cursed name at this point

[empty hare]

Pure copium (i was one of those people)

[robust pendant]

But I was excited for it even though it would be priced like a pc

Then ram went nuts and now I know it will be 850 minimum

[empty hare]

Gonna go back to vacuum tubes at this point, way cheaper

[shell flax]

If I want to pay PC price, I’ll get a full build not a gimmick device

Also all my future money is currently locked in for a future project of my own

[robust pendant]

Hey, if you use your pc for games only, steam machine its great. Small as hell, looks clean, has steam os, can be moved on your tv so you can game on your tv too easily

Its just a pc consolized

The only downside is that you cant play some games with kernel level anticheat. And at that point, I dont even count it as a downside

[empty hare]

Wait really? How come

Isn't it a full desktop too?

[dusky pawn]

It isnt good in any way
'Wow i bought a console for pc money and it has the same minimalist garbage design everything else has wow i consoomed'

[spare canopy]

No great loss... Playing games is not as important as Microsoft wanting to learning every single about you.

[dusky pawn]

Even consoles are pretty stupid in this day and age cause you need some form of pc/laptop for existing within a society esp if you have an office job but this thing ? Entirely pointless gimmicky gadget

[robust pendant]

Technically, yeah, you can install windows on it. But its on linux vanilla

[sinful portal]

Stalker 2 website on browser, age verification doesn't seem to be working, no matter what year I enter, can't get in

[empty hare]

Yeah, but do kernel-level anticheats not work on linux at all?

[robust pendant]

Thats for you, not for a lot many, its a good upside of the machine

[robust pendant]

Nope, because linux IS the kernel. Unless they try to develop the cheat in some other way, they cant

I heard that they technically can be used in linux if they develop it, they just wont

[empty hare]

Ahhh gotcha, ive been using linux for more than a decade now but haven't tried gaming on it in a very long time

Last time i tried steam didnt even nativily run on any linux distro, had to use Wine

[robust pendant]

Afaik it does now, or maybe though proton, idk

[dusky pawn]

What upside its just an overpriced pc

[empty hare]

Yeah it has native support, but not all games work properly

[robust pendant]

I'm actually trying to get into limux in 2 weeks time, tired of microsoft bs

[robust pendant]

Its not an overpriced pc when they are going to price it like a pc (if they do)

DAMMIT, why do I use a lot of cussed language

[robust pendant]

Its just a pc that has steam os (specific to them), but then you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to set it up, you just buy it, you plug it and you play

[light oar]

Yo guys! Just joined the channel, been looking for a stalker community online for a while and finally found out I can just join an official discord serv. Got one question, is 32gb of RAM is enough for the second stalker?

[robust pendant]

Its more than enough yeah

Afaik even 16 is enough, but depends on your resolution/pc usage, some areas may mess you over

[light oar]

Alright, thanks. Trying to figure out what to upgrade so I could play with comfort

[dusky pawn]

Its still worse than a pc at this price therefore overpriced and its not gonna be 500 we already know that

[light oar]

I think I should be alright overall, the RAM was the real question for me. I’ve been thinking about getting 48 even, but I had to double check because I thought it’s a bit too much and not price wise.

[dusky pawn]

Yeah this bot is a bit much

[robust pendant]

A 1080p pc rn its like 750$ or so. Depends what the price is going to be, no one actually knows

And apparently "it can play games at 4K"

Let me add more """""""""" to the sentence

[light oar]

Is there a reason to play 4K? I think 1440p is beautiful enough or am I trippin’

[robust pendant]

Nah, 32 for almost everything is more than enough. Unless you do some heavy editing/modeling work in 4k or something, dont think theres a need for 48

[light oar]

Thought the same

[robust pendant]

Theres no real reason unless you are an enthusiastic of it. Imo 1440p is the right sweet spot, specially in these overpriced times

I even like 1080p, so idk

[light oar]

Exactly, the prices are indeed sky high

[robust pendant]

But well, technically, consoles already use upscalers, so lets say that you can also use it for the steam machine and its a "console but better because I have all my steam games".
You are basically paying for the steam ecosystem which is amazing

Me:

[marble gyro]

Morning

[dusky pawn]

And its a better more useful device than this scam

[marble gyro]

Okay waking up in the morning and new fable teaser

WITH THE PLAYSTATION LOGO

Character creator, freedom to start a family and date anyone, choices changes the world, yup....we are finally back

[cobalt fiber]

I wouldn’t call it a scam

Some people like to kick it in bed when gaming

[proven hollow]

fable isn't stalker you silly goose

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/user-gif-16681629973380042187

[atomic mantle]

gotta love going 2 hours into the day and then realising the game is not saving, will not autosave. and wont let me manually save

and even tho i slept. that didnt save

[shell flax]

Do you have expedition mode on

[atomic mantle]

nope

im like 3 hours into a playthrough on stalker. and ive not been able to progress at all since. all my save files arent updating and the svae buttons greyed out

[copper radish]

Is it trying to save to a location that the game doesn't have write rights to?

[atomic mantle]

idk

nothing changed since two days ago, those saves are still there

[harsh jungle]

I got to see my towns nuclear power station from the road today

[marble gyro]

Open world, npcs are dead inside, magic items are artififacts, yup seems pretty stalker related to me

[ruby gale]

You could say any game is like any game with that logic, which technically isnt wrong

[whole wagon]

Do we know when the first stalker DLC is coming out?

[vernal lily]

no

[ruby gale]

Honestly if the "dlc" is the pvp mode I dont want it

[whole wagon]

All I want is being able to go to the CNPP again

[ruby gale]

Thats probably not till February to March

Maybe later

[proven hollow]

smh already nearly a month into the new year and mol1t has absolutely abandoned us 🙁

only a few unreliable testers teasing but unable to give anything real

[ruby gale]

He was here a few hours ago

[unique locust]

Meow

[lost needle]

I do, and i need a paid stalker 2 battle pass

Battle royale

[ruby gale]

[vernal lily]

meow

[gloomy pilot]

i really want it if its true

[ruby gale]

It wouldn't really make sense to have a pvp but no co-op

[gloomy pilot]

yeah thats true

[sudden rapids]

Destiny 2 mode in Stalker 2

[ruby gale]

Destiny 2 sucks

[sudden rapids]

Need endgame raid bosses in Red Forest

[cobalt fiber]

But that’s the way it’s going

It’s been confirmed multiple times

[ruby gale]

Unfortunately

Not my problem, im still not gonna touch it, but its there for those that will

[primal nimbus]

Pray for mods

[ruby gale]

Shouldn't need a mod for something everyone wants, but yeah, hopefully someone fixes the mistake there

[cobalt fiber]

I mean that’s just life

If everyone got what they wanted all the time the world would be an even more fucked place than it is already

[vernal lily]

This just a game tho, but I wouldn't care about pvp/co-op regardless

[proven hollow]

PVP was great in the OG's and it'll be great here and no amount of naysayers can change my mind

[harsh jungle]

I suck at pvp

[ruby gale]

If you like it then all the power to you, but i just hate pvp, its not fun anymore

[proven hollow]

I do however also sincerely suck at pvp games, especially shooters

[stark willow]

Hello

[ruby gale]

Seems like every match i play of any pvp game its an e-sport tournament and no ones trying to have fun

[cobalt fiber]

I mean

The idea is to win

[ruby gale]

Trying to level a shotgun that absolutely sucks at being a shotgun because of "balancing" while everyone is using a meta gun

[ruby gale]

I know, but now it just feels like that's all it is

[proven hollow]

nah, unironically the idea of playing a videogame is to have fun, if you only want to win, get angry if you don't and are unironically getting worked up over it without getting paid for it you're wasting your life like crazy

[cobalt fiber]

Any PvP game is competitive in its own right

Competition is about win/loss

[jolly osprey]

Arma, insurgency sandstorm, etc changes that. Makes rounds hit like real ones

[cobalt fiber]

If I compete; sports, games, cards, whatever, I want to win

[ruby gale]

Oh yeah, sandstorm is like the only pvp game I can play because its legitimately just a good time

[proven hollow]

sure, but there's wanting to win while having fun, and wanting to win while not having fun

[jolly osprey]

I love insurgency, got over 400 hours

[ruby gale]

I dont care about winning, just having a good time

[ruby gale]

Id have to look when I get home

[cobalt fiber]

Everybody enjoys a win

It’s a subconscious thing

Human nature

[ruby gale]

I mean yeah, but a win is no good if you had to play like your life depended on it with no goofy shit

[proven hollow]

everyone likes to win every now and then, but if losing angers you and winning is nothing but a frustrating process with 0 fun attached exclusively for chasing the high of "winning" without getting paid for it it's a waste of your life imo

[cobalt fiber]

Which game are we talking about specifically in this context though

[proven hollow]

any game, games are literally designed as a form of entertainment

[cobalt fiber]

I mean Monkeys focus on sweatier pvp

[ruby gale]

Rainbow 6, cod, battlefield, and probably a few others im forgetting

[proven hollow]

a fact which seems to be lost on some

[cobalt fiber]

CoD hasn’t been good for about 8+ years mate

[ruby gale]

I know but still, why cant we just have the good old bo2 weapons and movement

[vernal lily]

I remember this one dude from Destiny 2 got real rage quitting mad when I evaded his grenade launcher shot towards me, and I ended up killing him with a sword

[cobalt fiber]

Siege has always been sweaty though

Like it’s a cool concept

But fuck me it’s so sweaty

[ruby gale]

Not really, it actually use to have a fairly casual scene

[proven hollow]

gets even worse when you have the sweaty game rules coming in, idc that i'm not allowed to leave a match, if i'm not having fun then bugger off i got better things to do with my time

[ruby gale]

Until after operation chimera and the removal of terrorist hunt and the actual casual cue

[vernal lily]

Well I mean it sucks for the group if you just randomly leave

[cobalt fiber]

I mean you’ve named games that have a particularly strong e sports side to them

So naturally they’re gonna be a pain

[vernal lily]

Rules like that are there for other reasons, but yeah I do leave a game match regardless if I am not having fun anymore

[cobalt fiber]

Battlefield is 50/50

I haven’t played it for a while but it’s probably the most grounded of the ones listed

CoD is just completely aids now and has been for a long time

Although cod did always have the weapon balancing issues

You fought your way up to get the best loadout

[proven hollow]

don't get me wrong, i wouldn't leave the game because i'm losing or something, but i sometimes play a bit of league of legends, and then sometimes the enemy team doesn't attack the nexus as the entire game is literally designed about, just to keep a game hostage, then i just leave

[cobalt fiber]

The problem is matchmaking is ass in recent installations

[vernal lily]

Well like I said that rule is there to protect against other things. Didn't say it wasn't annoying sometimes. Like how when my internet connection is bad for a few seconds. I get kicked because of that temporarily, but get the penalty anyway.

[proven hollow]

but honestly, 95% of what i play these days is singleplayer stuff or casual stuff with friends, ain't nobody got the time for commitment anymore like MMO's or something

[main jewel]

cod cw + warzone and mw2022 from season 1 to season 3 were the most recent cod games that ive enjoyed to the fullest

that i actually grinded on

[ruby gale]

Thats why I mainly stick to co-op or single player

[cobalt fiber]

I liked Cold War zombies

[vernal lily]

Same, I don't really play multiplayer games anymore, not even co-op.

[main jewel]

me too i like the cold war campaign also

[ruby gale]

Zombies was ok, didnt like the open world map though

[main jewel]

also i saw a mod for a co op stalker clear sky on insta

[vernal lily]

Forgot to hit reply to Robo's comment, but oh well

[main jewel]

with like other modded elements

[ruby gale]

Still just annoying it takes a mod to get co-op on stalker

[main jewel]

gsc knows co op would be ass

[vernal lily]

It be what it be sometimes

[main jewel]

tbf

a not modded co op would be bad

for the trilogy

i can i guess see the appeal

for like stalker 2

but that would have to be modded as well

[lost needle]

that is so loud jesus

[vernal lily]

yes

[main jewel]

some people are mean and dont put loud warnings

[lost needle]

you vs homer on roblox got updated

[ruby gale]

What's that matter sensitive ears

[lost needle]

huge news

[ruby gale]

Ew, roblox

[ruby gale]

Pred central

[main jewel]

nothing wrong with sensitive ears, some people cant help it… some are borrnnn with it

https://tenor.com/view/cats-kissing-turning-turning-around-surprised-gif-10954422701417471537

its so funny how evil the higher ups there are

like 0 shame too

[vernal lily]

roblox 🤢

[ruby gale]

Because it makes them money

[vernal lily]

My phone keeps rapid firing shit

Fingers/screen is covered in dust and its laying on the toolbox

[marble gyro]

Do we know when gsc will release a taco stand in the zone?

[vernal lily]

hopefully soon

[marble gyro]

We gotta have multicultural diversity here

[lost needle]

yeah its at the entrace of the iron forest

[fickle hill]

Penguin

[vernal lily]

hi

[fickle hill]

hi

[vernal lily]

You know you can have that @ ping on, I won't bite

[gloomy pilot]

fun = winning 🤣

[fickle hill]

Force of habit

[vernal lily]

understandable

[ruby gale]

If fun=having to win, you're boring

There's fun to be had in losing too

[gloomy pilot]

its part of having fun, be better than someone 🤷‍♂️

[vernal lily]

Just don't let it get through your head too much

Like it does with some people

[ruby gale]

Exactly, winning is nice but it ain't all

[cobalt fiber]

It’s a matter of perspective

[gloomy pilot]

of course, but you can't be mad because someone is just better hah

[cobalt fiber]

Nobody is right or wrong in this conversation lol

[ruby gale]

Im not md at someone being better, I know im not the best, im just mad no one seems to want to mess around anymore

[gloomy pilot]

depends on the game

[marble gyro]

Imagine....stalker...with mechs

[cobalt fiber]

There was never a single time where PvP games didn’t have people who wanted to win

And to be mad at that is bizarre

[ruby gale]

Im going to sound like a broken record, im not mad that people want to win, im mad no one wants to have fun doing it anymore so it ruins my fun

[cobalt fiber]

You say you want to have fun and can do so in losing, but in the same breath say how it sucks to have people smash you due to having better loadouts

It’s all very contradictory

Just seems like moaning for the sake of moaning to me

[marble gyro]

That's how it was in the original stalker

People would have a better kitted out toz and snipe from across the map

[ruby gale]

Thats funny

[marble gyro]

Then network lag issues came into play, then cheaters, and lobbies would crash computers

Fun stuff

[ruby gale]

Im just trying to say pvp isnt as fun as it use to be

[cobalt fiber]

When you go into any PvP game you’re willfully going into something where people are going to have advantages over you in gear, ping, etc

And always have

[ruby gale]

I know this

[marble gyro]

I was going to say something, but then I thought about having a pb&j sandwich

And add like bananas into it

[ruby gale]

A subject change would be good, at the end of the day I just miss bo2 and r6s season 6 pvp, none of this new age stuff

[marble gyro]

At least battlefield is fun

[ruby gale]

Its fun with the right people at least

And map

[marble gyro]

I play solo mostly

Maps don't bother me as much as 2042 did

Too big, empty and not enough fights

[gloomy pilot]

tbh i really like 2042 but i bought it after updates and really cheap

[ruby gale]

I gotta be with other people, I hate playing solo on pvp games, need others to bounce off of

My favorite strat is paddle rushing people

[main jewel]

why are you wanting others to bounce off of

why does bro bounce on people

[ruby gale]

Get your mind out of the gutter horny

I just need other people to be an idiot with, that and I can only talk to myself for so long

[ruby gale]

You know them well dont you

[marble gyro]

[main jewel]

noo

im too dumb for that

[ruby gale]

[vernal lily]

hi again

[ruby gale]

Herro

[marble gyro]

So stalker clear sky on switch 2, bugs out a lot

[ruby gale]

A game on the switch bugging out? Unheard of

[marble gyro]

Switch 2

[ruby gale]

Switch*

[marble gyro]

The other games from the trilogy has not bugged out

But clear sky specifically be bugging out like crazy

[harsh jungle]

just as Todd intended

[ruby gale]

Maybe you're unlucky, or something specific with cs

[harsh jungle]

i gotta decide if i wanna play fo4, stalker 2 or do some diamond art

[marble gyro]

I mean, it's not the EE version

[ruby gale]

Honestly, id go with art

[marble gyro]

It's basic vanilla stalker clear sky port

[vernal lily]

diamond art

[ruby gale]

Now I miss doing sketches, made a few decent ones

[harsh jungle]

its 6 pm

it dark

[ruby gale]

Only chest and up, cant do hands very well

[harsh jungle]

i think my doodles are ok

[cyan sparrow]

why

[ruby gale]

Probably better than mine

[cyan sparrow]

why is so purple, and shiny here today!

[harsh jungle]

bc why not

[ruby gale]

Because jack is missing

[main jewel]

repackaged switch one with improvements that shouldve been on the base switch

or the oled

[ruby gale]

[main jewel]

when the oled cam out

[marble gyro]

Stable 30fps is cool

[harsh jungle]

im not buying a switch 2 if my switch 1 still works

[ruby gale]

[marble gyro]

But man...gsc make a switch 2 enhanced update please

[vernal lily]

Discord just gave me a free 2 week nitro so I thought I'd boost this server

[main jewel]

gsc knows how ass switch is

[ruby gale]

Nintendo please stop making switches

[harsh jungle]

there are enough switches in my house

[marble gyro]

Switch 1 is ass, but wait until you see 2

[main jewel]

nintendo make a console that looks like a mario pipe

the fan can be at the top

[marble gyro]

I mean the fact that this thing can run cyberpunk 2077 is insane

No drops either

[ruby gale]

How well though

Probably 30fps with low end graphics

And it cost $500

[marble gyro]

40fps

[ruby gale]

[marble gyro]

But it's stable and does not drop, like i just did the phantom liberty dlc and no drops at all

Even during the chase scene when you play as the colonel

[ruby gale]

I would hope so, that'd be the minimum

[marble gyro]

Steam deck does not run a native 60

[ruby gale]

But what is its performance specs

[marble gyro]

For steam deck?

[ruby gale]

Steam Deck performance is generally strong, offering a capable handheld PC experience by delivering PS4-class visuals and handling many demanding modern games by requiring settings compromises like lower resolutions, medium/low settings, and using upscaling (FSR/XCSS) for 30-60fps gameplay, with some games hitting smooth 40+fps, while newer, heavier titles often need tuning to stay playable. Its custom AMD APU is powerful but struggles with some bleeding-edge software, though community tools and optimizations, plus potential for a next-gen hardware upgrade, continue to improve its capabilities.

So the switch is literally the same thing, just Nintendo instead of steam so less games

[thorn niche]

You have to have an sd card to download a decent amount of games tho

[ruby gale]

Doesn't switch brick your console for doing that

[thorn niche]

Talking about the deck

[ruby gale]

I know

[cobalt fiber]

The Switch 2 is far superior in performance to the steam deck

[thorn niche]

I wouldnt waste money on anything Nintendo

[ruby gale]

[thorn niche]

Nintendo fans have the biggest cope when it comes to the products they buy

[copper radish]

made the mistake of getting the kids a switch for xmas like 3? 4 years ago?

[ruby gale]

I miss the n64 and wii days

[thorn niche]

I still have my wii

[ruby gale]

And 3ds

[thorn niche]

My dsi still has a charge, ans its been 14 something odd years😅

Havent had a charger for it ever

No, it's been 16 years

[ruby gale]

Man, the older days were the best

[thorn niche]

True

I wanted to get a 3ds just for collectors sake but they're still expensive

[marble gyro]

Ikr???? It's leagues better! Like playing an actual switch 2 title and not the backwards compatible ones, you can see the huge night and day difference

[ruby gale]

[thorn niche]

Id rather just play on an actual console or get a pc

My steam deck was a gift

Wouldn't have bought it with my own money

Ah least not the non-oled version

[ruby gale]

Handhelds are cool and all, but they're mainly for a few people that actually use them for what they're intended for, if you're using it as a stay at home console you might as well get an actual console/pc

[thorn niche]

I take it with me when i travel out

I just barely end up using it tho

[ruby gale]

I dont do enough traveling or when I do im more interested in the stuff around me

[thorn niche]

It overheats too quickly and i don't really like that button layout

[thorn niche]

Yep. Same here

[ruby gale]

That and Nintendo has been gay lately

[vernal lily]

Interesting, I thought of getting a steam deck, because I kind of do travel a bit. And my work laptop can't handle any games.

[robust pendant]

For travelling, I'd say steam deck is great. Oled version specifically

[cobalt fiber]

Personally I couldn’t give a fuck what a company does, it’s their product I’m interested in not any behind the curtains dramatics

Microsoft are bellends but I still cherish my Xbox. Apple are clowns but I’ll use my iPhone happily

[ruby gale]

I just genuinely dont like Nintendo anymore, if others enjoy it thats cool, but I still dont like them

I mean they literally tried patenting something they didnt create just because someone made a better pokemon than them

[frigid hill]

monkeyman34449 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[ruby gale]

What?

[cobalt fiber]

$50 is censored

Because of scams

[ruby gale]

Ah whatever, I dont care enough to reword it

My point is they've done some shady shit, and while I know Microsoft is no better theres not many other options then going to pc which im planing on

[vernal lily]

And didnt they try charging fifty a month extra for an emulator
- MonkeyMouth

[cobalt fiber]

Eh most corps do dabble with shady things but I just think as a consumer or customer it ain’t worth stressing about

You like a product you like it, you don’t you don’t

Life should be lived simple and easy

[ruby gale]

Fair enough, which is why I dont buy Nintendo

[ruby gale]

Sometimes you dont get that choice unfortunately

[cobalt fiber]

I mean most of the time you do have the choice

Unless you’re in some extreme situation you always have a choice

[charred nova]

I just got home

[ruby gale]

He has arrived

[cobalt fiber]

I’ve lived life on the edge, in the fast lane and rough as shit in the past and if there’s one thing I learned it’s that shit doesn’t need to be rough and you always have a choice

[ruby gale]

I've been sitting in my car for 10 minutes now

[charred nova]

This is why I speed

If I’m gonna die I wanna die going 100

[ruby gale]

Only 100?

[charred nova]

About all my car can manage

[ruby gale]

Or is that the song reference

[cobalt fiber]

Life’s too short for speed limits

[ruby gale]

Goin 100 in a 55

[charred nova]

Honestly in Massachusetts

[cobalt fiber]

Pedestrians be DAMNED

[charred nova]

You usually can do that

[ruby gale]

In Texas speed limits are the minimum speed allowed

[charred nova]

I mean I’ve once or twice encountered some crazy cars

I once came across some blob eye Sti guy weaving through traffic racing some guy on a bike at 100 plus mph

[ruby gale]

I love bikes, but I hate 70% of bike people

Bunch of self centered morons

[cobalt fiber]

Im currently negotiating prices for this

[ruby gale]

Im not one of those anti lane splitting people either, I mean the actual idiots of the bike world

[cobalt fiber]

All goes to plan it’ll be mine in 2 months

Always wanted a Harley

[ruby gale]

Like take over people of the car world, holding up traffic and shit so they can flex what little they have down there

[cobalt fiber]

Typical crotch rocket behaviour

[ruby gale]

I've always wanted a ninja h2r, or an iron horse

[charred nova]

Plus bikes lose like all there value bro

[cobalt fiber]

If I bag this it’s basically an early present to myself cos I’m 30 in November

[charred nova]

They just do not hold value

[cobalt fiber]

Nothing screams mid life crisis like a new Harley

Talk about a cliche!

[ruby gale]

My dad had a few

[charred nova]

Harley is like on its last legs apparently

Sales have cratered hard and there panicking

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah a lot of people leaning towards Hondas tbh

For the traditional chopper

[ruby gale]

Think it was a fatboy and something else

[charred nova]

I mean from what I saw a new Harley costs more than a brand new Toyota Corolla

Which makes no sense

Like maybe I don’t get it but how in the hell can a Harley cost as much to make as a Toyota Corolla

[cobalt fiber]

I got a few friends who ride with a local club and although that’s not my plans for the future it would be cool to ride with some boys when they do their events and shit

[ruby gale]

Man, now I want to play ride again

[charred nova]

To make

[cobalt fiber]

Those huge rides always fascinated me

[charred nova]

Let alone sell

They are not crazy sport bikes packed with super expensive tech

[ruby gale]

Its mostly just bs dealership prices

[charred nova]

They are like the most low tech bikes you can get

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah fuck dealerships with a passion

[ruby gale]

Almost $100k for a Ford f-350 dully

[cobalt fiber]

Will always buy used where possibly when it comes to cars and bikes

So long as you do your due diligence it’s never an issue

[ruby gale]

Used is the way to go, especially older cars, only problem is cost/availability of parts

[charred nova]

Yah I think my next car might be an sti tbh

[cobalt fiber]

I made the mistake of a range just cos I always thought they looked cool like most of us do

Boot/trunk space is horrible

I had it for like 6 months

Part Xd it

[ruby gale]

I really want a malibu maxx

[cobalt fiber]

Nice to look at, shit for practicality

[ruby gale]

Those things are damn near perfect daily cars

[cobalt fiber]

There’s a dude on my street still drives about in an Impreza lmao

Old school kit

[charred nova]

Just finding a good sti from the golden age 2004-2007

Is tuff

[ruby gale]

Im mainly a 1970-2010 gm person

[cobalt fiber]

Idek what car I’d go for next

[ruby gale]

Something Toyota

Things are damn near indestructible

[cobalt fiber]

I want something smaller cos I’ve got a Qashqai from when I was with the ex cos she had the 2 kids

[charred nova]

True

Something with a 1uz or 2uz

Bullet proof cars

Will last forever

Million mile motors

[ruby gale]

My guilty car is the Toyota prius, amazing gas mileage and they dont look that bad after awhile

Plus the interior is pretty cool/comfortable

[charred nova]

We have a 2004 one in my auto school

Imbr mega shit box bro

Things got no gauge cluster

Like that’s just how it be idk

It’s not missing

It’s just not there

[ruby gale]

They have a middle cluster, normally its either off to the side or a pop up display

[charred nova]

Yuck

[ruby gale]

I mean i kinda fųck with it weirdly enough

[charred nova]

Idk I want my gauges regular

Or 80s digital

[ruby gale]

The newer prius does have the normal cluster though

[unreal basin]

Ok, so how’s the modding scene looking for xbox atm? Is it worth resetting up mods for a pkaythrough?

[ruby gale]

Its ok, but nothing ground breaking besides better ballistics and drastic weather overhaul

And shays living zone is ok

[unreal basin]

Ok

[ruby gale]

There's no bigger nerf to your wallet then liking car, guns, and games

[shell flax]

We actually just got access to Distant Horizons, Shays mod that expands NPC render

[wise depot]

Warhammer

[ruby gale]

Eh, ive never been a fan, seems like too much of a cult community to me

[vagrant pewter]

oof How many endings are there? Just did one & man was it depressingly dark. Curious now what the others will be like

[robust pendant]

4 iirc

[vagrant pewter]

yikes seems ill need to find a second decision point then 😄 I know of 2 atm

[main jewel]

can we all agree a ipsf exo would be kinda cool or like some other ipsf armors

time to use 250 meter npc bubble for xbox woohoo

[spare canopy]

Wow! They opened the mines up more...

[main jewel]

yes

you can see renegade faction spray logos around inside of it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/866798898197823489/1407880272539684896/pingas.gif

[spare canopy]

Glad they did something to the mines, they just need so much more, and it happed, Kudos to GCS, well done.

Oooooo I am all excited, to explore this mine 😄

[golden gulch]

I wonder if the 2 story DLCs are equal to 2 games?
The standard to ultimate upgrade is on sales right now.

[astral ember]

How does shotgun range work?
Does Reduce damage drop-off 100% matter a lot? It push the one slot range to one and half

[astral ember]

Grab it anyway, ultimate = standard, standard = lite

[slate marten]

Hey guys, anyone who know who to contact if your collectors edition preorder was never shipped or delivered? I got the digital key from it, but they never actually sent me my stuff

Or are we still waiting for final boss bundle to ship

[robust pendant]

I think they said about talking to retailers about it, one sec

Yep #📜┃gsc-answers message

Go to the physical store and ask them

[arctic hare]

I have a question. Do I have to restart my game after installing the DLC‘s like Deluxe Edition

[slate marten]

There is no physical store.

It’s the vendor stalker 2 advertised on their website for US based buyers. Final Boss Bundles.

[arctic hare]

I just bought the DLC‘s because I wanted the guns and I am already over halfway through the campaign

[slate marten]

So not a gamestop or anything.

Far as i know there weren’t really any physical stores that actually sold physical copies.

No clue what went down but it seemed like the stalker 2 devs had some issues with getting a us supplier lined up for the physical collector editions

[robust pendant]

Well, then submit a report to the stalker 2 website, or ask in #📜┃ask-gsc

[slate marten]

Appreciate it

[robust pendant]

Or dm @ mol1t directly, hes the community manager

[slate marten]

Thanks Gordon. I’ll ask the bot or dm him tomorrow

[arctic hare]

@robust pendant do you know if I have to restart my entire save game after buying the ultimate DLC

[main jewel]

you dont

[robust pendant]

I've never opened the game in my life so idk

[arctic hare]

Oh rip

[arctic hare]

Thanks

[arctic hare]

Mb

[robust pendant]

Its ok

[main jewel]

@arctic hare it just adds a quest, basically the locations for the stashes are already in the game but they are hidden unless the game or whatever device reads that you have whatever requirements for the stuff, so your all good

[arctic hare]

So how do I get the quest also I’m at one of the locations but the weapon isn’t here

[main jewel]

well if you have the ultimate edition or the deluxe

go to ur little personal stash box

the brown one

[arctic hare]

Both I got the bundle

[main jewel]

there dhould be a journalist hard drive in there

[arctic hare]

I did go to my stash box and I didn’t get any quest

[main jewel]

hhhmm

[arctic hare]

Let me check again

Nope I got nothing

[robust pendant]

Maybe ask in #📜┃ask-gsc

Or in #❔┃seeking-for-advice

[arctic hare]

I have to wait four hours

Well I really don’t want to redo the half the campaign

[main jewel]

sometimes i get so disappointed cause of stalker 2 i look at my game like this

[hardy rune]

Can I make stashes of my own?

[harsh jungle]

I gotta bring a snack back downstairs but someone else is up

[main jewel]

i mean you can go to a stash bag and put stuff in it

and then if its not marked you can mark it

[hardy rune]

thanks lex the legend

[main jewel]

cause theres custom markers

[main jewel]

you are welcom

[eager chasm]

Disappointed why?

This is my first stalker game haven't even beat it yet

[sleek latch]

does anyone have a recommendation for a laptop that'll run stalker?

[main jewel]

50 cut side quests, cut attachments like pgo 7v, cut thermals, 3/4ths of pripyat cut, thr game still has such a long way to go before it becomes what gsc said the game was gunna be like..

the new content, “stories untold” is cut content thats been likely stitched together

the most notable example is banzai

theres a cut cutscene for a side questline in pripyat

where he dances

next to his little radio mechanic desk

[eager chasm]

Aye no spoilers

I haven't done that expansion yet

[hardy rune]

Chat theres a emission and the only shelter has a lock on it!

[main jewel]

go to to #⭐┃nospoilers_general

[eager chasm]

Still working on beating it

[main jewel]

and btw technically it aint spoilers

cause it doesnt show up at all

thats why its cut

but the character is the same

[hardy rune]

anyway to break

[main jewel]

you shoot the lock

[shell flax]

‘The character is the same ’

We see the guy for a grand total of ten seconds in a trailer cutscene, what

[main jewel]

they wear the same outfit

its just banzai in our current game has a trench coat over him

thats the only change

[shell flax]

Neat, many other NPCs share similar models too

[main jewel]

also they are both radio mechanics

[hardy rune]

it won’t break

[main jewel]

he sits at a desk that if you go ingame to pripyat and find

it has radio equipment and some tools

same here in the trailer

[carmine sequoia]

[carmine sequoia]

[main jewel]

what

[carmine sequoia]

Ouuuuu nothing nothingnothing

[main jewel]

i wish we go the banzai from the original trailer

[main jewel]

bald skif

[carmine sequoia]

That’s mean… he’s still got some hair

Not much but yeah

[main jewel]

this is like a young sidorovich

younger i should say

[carmine sequoia]

There’s this one render of Skif where he’s like extremely yellow for some reason

[vapid galleon]

[carmine sequoia]

[vapid galleon]

[vapid galleon]

[vapid galleon]

hopefully, it's designed as another version of the guy who stash artefacts in the retort

[pastel bolt]

Yo w more console mods

[hardy rune]

bro im stuck. cant get in and cant get to any other shelter in time. just kept dying and dying. im in the twilight zone not the forbidden zone lmfao

[vapid galleon]

[hardy rune]

[hardy rune]

im so cooked

welpo

[cyan sparrow]

I didn’t allow publicly show my face 😮

[eager chasm]

Dlc, expansion, content update whatever tf its called

[vapid galleon]

:D

it's not DLC or expansion, stop saying this they're different things and you know that

[main jewel]

what if bro doesnt know

[vapid galleon]

it's better to assume that someone playing games knows that the new missions added with the update are not a DLC or expansion but a content update, than to assume they don't

otherwise he learned
