☢┃stalker-general

[robust pendant]

Sadly, this just proves that CoP sucked lol

[marble gyro]

MY EXACT POINT

[violet dune]

AI should react to what is happening around them

now you can shoot 10cm above head and they dont even react

[marble gyro]

People are deluded on what they wanted for A Life, lol the mods fixed everything on the original stalker series

[robust pendant]

Well, no, not really

[violet dune]

after playing KCD2, holy how much i notice how bad s2 is

[robust pendant]

Cause then again, SoC and CS seem to be doing good in that case. Im installing SoC to test

[marble gyro]

SoC is great

[robust pendant]

Actually, let me install CS, its the best in terms of AI after all

[marble gyro]

Best atmosphere, story, and overall gameplay

CS is just a chaotic mess testing ground for Team deathmatch

[robust pendant]

What

[marble gyro]

Because that's what the multiplayer was originally if you don't remember

[robust pendant]

I mean, it has bad aspects, but calling it a testing ground is also a mistake

Its problems go to the story and quests overall

[marble gyro]

You help clears sky remove bandits, one area done, go to cordon help sidorovich remove the military done, next area rinse and repeat with one straight shot to victory

Just like TDM in the official multiplayer

[robust pendant]

Your objective isnt to kill factions all the time

Have you played the game lol

[marble gyro]

To progress yes it is

[robust pendant]

No

Its so far away to what cs is lmao

If you focused only on the faction war and didnt pay attention to the story or quests, cool, but that isnt what the game is

[lucid charm]

Wait…”burers don’t ignite gunpowder, they just shoot bullets out the barrel with telekinesis, which is why they do more damage”
So like… they’re firing the bullet, cartridge, gunpowder and all? Because that’s not how bullets work…cartridges literally cannot fit through the barrel…

Then again…I’ve never seen a burer weapon have durability above zero, so I guess we’re using Ork-think logic with this one

[marble gyro]

The game has no branching endings, it focuses heavily on the faction war system

[robust pendant]

You can totally ignore the faction system and continue with the story normally

[marble gyro]

If you know the story, you don't need to focus on it at all

As the main focus, is the faction war system

SoC is the only stalker game aside from 2 that has a freedom of choice for multiple endings

[robust pendant]

It is a fun factor, but to progress on the story you can totally avoid the faction war system.
And because it doesnt have multiple endings, doesnt make it worse just because of it

[marble gyro]

COP experimental as a sandbox, clear sky literally a testing ground for multiplayer modes

[robust pendant]

Again, no, what are you even saying

[marble gyro]

Play the game, your nostalgia clouds you

[robust pendant]

What kind of fricking nostalgia, I played it in 2022, 2024 and 2025

[marble gyro]

Side quests are more so tied into the faction war system

Literally if you cannot realize that, then I don't know what to say

[robust pendant]

Theres plenty that are tied to grab a position, but there are plenty that are just grabbing X item or go to X place to investigate. And then again, the main story doesnt focuses on it

[marble gyro]

Then the main story is only 15 main quests

SoC had like close to 30

[ruby gale]

I imagine its just forcing the bullet out of the cartridge without igniting the gunpowder, which is weird because im pretty sure the gun still makes a bang with muzzle flash

[serene barn]

what is that from with the quotation marks?

[lucid charm]

Ask GSC

[robust pendant]

Also, theres fricking team deathmatch in SoC too

[mystic temple]

Yeah the gun still makes the sound of it going off (as if it’s cycling and exploding the primer…)

[shell flax]

The CMs having fun joking in the answers channel

[lucid charm]

Probably just a joke answer while they try to figure it out. I hope

[ruby gale]

Magic

[lucid charm]

That or Burers are Psycher Orks, in which case we’re all screwed

[marble gyro]

Who played TDM in soc? It was better in clear sky which is why I'm not mentioning SoC as the focus was not to make system that fits multiplayer like clear sky does

[serene barn]

is that a joke answer to someone who didn't consider they press the trigger with the telekinesis?

[shell flax]

Yes

[robust pendant]

That makes no god damn sense

[lucid charm]

No, the question was about how they can instantly delete skif even in the best armor

[robust pendant]

If thats true, then it wasnt even a playground for multiplayer since the fricking multiplayer was already done

[marble gyro]

It added elements from Clear sky that fleshed out the base of multiplayer that SoC originally had

[robust pendant]

So why is the whole game considered a played ground, when there a whole faction war system

And quests

And a story with backstory on npcs

[marble gyro]

Because of the Gameplay focus

Focus of clear sky and COP is Gameplay

[robust pendant]

Dude what the hell are you saying, the gameplay focus was just there because OF the faction system and upgrade system, not because of some multiplayer

[serene barn]

right, that's a thing. they seem to do more damage than NPCs shooting us iirc.

[ornate merlin]

ive never played the game, how long is the story

[robust pendant]

There is absolutely zero sense

[lucid charm]

10-13 hours if you laser focus on the story, 23 hours if you play more relaxed

Of course then there’s cracked players who beat it in 5

[ruby gale]

Yeah i never really understood why thats the way it is, maybe they somehow legitimately enhance the damage caused by forcing the bullet to hit the head or something

[ornate merlin]

ok, and its open world right?

[robust pendant]

Out of all criticism that could be made to CS, thats by far the worst I've read, including the no-multiple endings

[ruby gale]

Shit I have 13-15 days in game and never got to pripyat story wise

[lucid charm]

In clear Sky?

[marble gyro]

Replay the game again and pay attention this time yeah? I explained everything on stream and made specific examples, did a full summary on the 3 and I'm not about to do it again

[lucid charm]

Cause isn’t that what’s being asked?

[ruby gale]

S2, I think

[serene barn]

they only load their guns with AP rounds certainly

[lucid charm]

Ohhhhh yeah stalker 2 is significantly longer

[ruby gale]

Im sure there's plenty of reasons

[robust pendant]

I'm not gonna replay a whole game again just because of your stupid opinions. Just because you made specific examples and a full summary or whatever doesnt make you right all of a sudden

[ruby gale]

Or maybe it was just programmed that way and thats it

[robust pendant]

or else I can say that I have played the game for 100 hours therefore I'm right, it's stupid

[marble gyro]

Sheesh, now I know where your mind stands, convos done man

[ruby gale]

I mean, you did kinda initiate that response

[marble gyro]

Yeah In a way, I did but reading it, ehh I'm not about to continue to the point it becomes an argument, so let bygones be bygones

[ruby gale]

I can see how this would be antagonistic after the whole argument you guys have been going on about

[marble gyro]

I was getting irritated, I won't lie about that

[shell flax]

I CAN LOOK IN THE LORE CHANNEL AND NOT WANT TO KILL MYSELF NOW

https://tenor.com/view/stantwt-chained-up-chained-gif-67266779391248431

That just hit me

[main jewel]

the lore channel is still bad

[shell flax]

Deathguard was the biggest offender from what I saw

[main jewel]

hes like

the hugest offender ever

for everything

[marble gyro]

Not even tastful offending either

[visual mortar]

don't say that name... it may... summon him

[marble gyro]

Bro is zipped, vamoose, sent to the void, you are safe

But now that I think of it.....alts do exist

[main jewel]

we killed him though

[visual mortar]

but he may have alts

[main jewel]

hes not like the immortal or smth were you can just put his body back together then hes alive again

[main jewel]

yknow what

ban everyone who comes in for 2 months

trusttttt

[visual mortar]

he is ethereal

[marble gyro]

You don't know that

[visual mortar]

ban anyone who says feck

[main jewel]

@turbid magnet

[main jewel]

your right

[visual mortar]

his right

watch out!

[marble gyro]

My right is weak tho, I'm a lefty

[main jewel]

[vernal lily]

That guy isn't going to be so good at hiding if he ever comes back

[marble gyro]

Have you seen his movies? Don Lee I think?

Dude has a killer left hook

[visual mortar]

woah fnaf

[marble gyro]

Bro with the hello kitty phone can knock the demon out of you

[vernal lily]

이동석

He's in a lot of Korean dramas

[marble gyro]

And he uses the same fighting style in all of them

[visual mortar]

he gonna be the guy in gang of dragon

[marble gyro]

Knocking people out with that left

[dusky pawn]

Dont forget the ward is good guy

That deathguard guy tho like
He isnt even very mean or anything he just doesnt back down no matter what

[shell flax]

isn’t very mean

One of the reasons he got banned was because he was a toxic ass what

[dusky pawn]

'I wish cnpp was in the center' lol

[still current]

[dusky pawn]

Yeah but he's toxic because he turns into hostile arguing he doesnt really randomly pick on people instead he says something idiotic and then fights to his grave for no reason

[marble gyro]

Fights to his grave calling people idiots and remedials

Arguing is fine, but resort to name calling and degradation is just rude

[dusky pawn]

Maybe im just used to toxic people

[dusky pawn]

My account is nearing 10 years old lmao

[still current]

Defending a statement is a tricky work

[shell flax]

I’m sure he didn’t start fights, definitely

[dusky pawn]

I mean I personally didnt see him do it im just telling you my impression of the guy

[still current]

My original account is 10yo. I think discord deleted it by now ig

[dusky pawn]

Did you abandon it or wha

[marble gyro]

[still current]

Thing is that sometimes it's helpless since arguing requires a decent amount of training to be respectful.

Otherwise it turns into a war of words if it is right to call it that

[dusky pawn]

Non hostile arguing requires being face to face

[still current]

I personally avoid it even tho, I'm pretty sure I have what it takes to handle it effectively, but if also depend on the other parties, not just one

[still current]

Not really

[marble gyro]

Found a chocolate Santa from two Christmas ago, wonder if the chocolate is still good to eat?

[dusky pawn]

In my experience anyone will become hostile online if the topic is emotional enough

[shell flax]

Arguing face to face tends to be more hostile if you’re untrained

[still current]

It can go physical easily if you lack common sense and proper training

[shell flax]

Don’t venture too far from the house

[dusky pawn]

Maybe if you literally walk up to homeless people and start arguing

[main jewel]

boil it into a new chocolate bar

then itll be good

trust

[marble gyro]

Too late, it's in me tum

[main jewel]

[marble gyro]

I will say, pretty stale but not too bad

[still current]

You see, many factors are included too. I mean, it's mostly psychological in nature . So, certain factors would probably lead to a good arguing experience, which in reality is entirely fake lmao

[dusky pawn]

But overall people irl are a bit more humble (cause they cant just look sht up)
They also have to answer faster so their arguments arent as well thought out but they can instantly diffuse the situation or clarify also using body language

And people are usually a bit more timid face to face especially people who are terminally online

You can still find fanatics irl sure but some meek 20 year old dude isnt as likely to yell at you irl

[shell flax]

imma be real, this is a very mechanical way to look at it

[still current]

I personally had a nonfinite amount of irl discussions and most do not really end well. Problem is mostly the other party failing to back shit up and ending up heating up in that case, I always back off and terminate it.

Otherwise, I'd end up getting punched

[dusky pawn]

That can be an issue but still people are more willing to just back down in my experience

[still current]

Especially considering my actual academic field lmao

Which is highly sensitive to everyone around me

[dusky pawn]

What is it and why if I may ask ?

[still current]

Perhaps I would've been burned fo a stake if the Ryle of law wasn't a thing lmao

history of religions

Fun fact, I never attack anyone and only mention historical facts and logic, and yet, it ends up heating up and me being called weird ass names

[dusky pawn]

Ohh well Im an atheist so I couldnt care less about that but I get why your experience may be different than mine now lmao

[marble gyro]

I have a stomach ache

Think the milk is working its way through the system

[dusky pawn]

I usually just argue about politics irl

[still current]

Well, even so, it would easily slide off the edge

[dusky pawn]

Are you lactase maxxing ?

[dusky pawn]

Idk whatchu mean honestly

[cobalt fiber]

Rogg/DeathGuard is in his 50s iirc

[dusky pawn]

Well thats even more pathetic

[cobalt fiber]

It was either 40s or 50s

[dusky pawn]

British geezer lookin mf

[still current]

Atheism can be seen as a religion too in modern times

Somehow

That's why

It solely depends on the person

[dusky pawn]

Ohh thats what you meant

[still current]

So, that's why I said what I said considering past exp

[shell flax]

you’re joking

[visual mortar]

no God damn eay

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah he’s an oldie

[marble gyro]

50s??? I thought for sure like our age group, 20s-30s

[visual mortar]

a neet at 50

dudes life is genuinely over

[dusky pawn]

Well its just that people associate the word atheist with like online antitheists which can be a bit fanatical and argumentative
I usually just avoid the A word cause of that and say I have no need for religion and it gets the point across

[marble gyro]

No wonder he argued like a old person!!!

[fickle hill]

I just believe nothing put goals work eat sleep repeat

[dusky pawn]

Do you guys think of yourselves as ambitious ?

[still current]

Well, as I said, it really depends on the person. Either way, I think we gotta wrap it up since we're in a Stalker category hehe

[still current]

Routinism

[fickle hill]

[still current]

I made that up

[fickle hill]

I mean sounds about right

[still current]

Hehe I have a track record in uni for making up new isms lmao

[marble gyro]

My ambition is more so making my life a success

[dusky pawn]

No but do you think you yourself are ambitious ? That someone could call you that

[still current]

Ambition without motive that is. I doubt anyone would say that they have no Ambition, but rather have no motivation to pursue it.

[dusky pawn]

See im asking cause I feel like i have REALLY low ambition

[floral oar]

Just finished stalker 2 and got the project Y ending what should i do now?

[dusky pawn]

I do have some drive to like you know earn money but I couldnt care less about success or career

[still current]

I want to be successful in all the aspects of the word. My ambition is to have financial stability and a dynamic life, but motives are none existing

[fickle hill]

Good question

[marble gyro]

As long as you have a goal there is a hole

Wait....wrong advice

As long as you have a vision, there is a goal and you can see yourself as ambitious towards it

[dusky pawn]

I dont really have one

[shell flax]

The 45-45 rule

[dusky pawn]

Dynamic life ? As in friends and being social ?

[still current]

Typical thing. It's all due to environmental factors and lack of proper motivation. Human nature involves ambition and often greed at most cases. So, ig if you somehow end up sparking up ambition motivated by a significant driver change, you would fail to control it

Idk if you get my idea

[dusky pawn]

I mean kinda

[still current]

Nope, basically the exact opposite of what jetson said (routinism)

[dusky pawn]

I see

[still current]

Routine kills motivation

[fickle hill]

The only thing going for me is getting my truck paid off before my father leaves me... getting a trailer hitch for my truck, and a magliner 500 pounder dolly hand truck

[main jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/the-quintessential-quintuplets-itsuki-nakano-gotoubun-no-hanayome-gif-13075274573322027537

[still current]

What one should mostly seek is actually how to have a dynamic life

[dusky pawn]

I feel like it doesnt affect me as much cause my motivation comes from comes exclusively from external sources

Which isnt good but it helps with this particular issue

[still current]

I personally doubt that. Even so, external motivation is non durable, so it's far form a secure source.

[dusky pawn]

Yeah I noticed

When im not at uni and pressured by the uni to learn I have absolutely 0 motivation

For anything not just learning

[still current]

You see the point

[dusky pawn]

Very surreal experience honestly
I learn about something I barely care about
I have 0 motivation outside of pressure to pass and not waste money and time
Yet im really good at it despite having 0 ambition to be good at it

[still current]

It's all routine caused

[dusky pawn]

In fact i kinda cringe when I see people who are really into it but I also envy them

[still current]

External motivation can stimulate a deeper change if handled in a way it creates an internal one, but in the end, it's not as easy as it's said

[dusky pawn]

But i simultaneously know im better at it than most of them (atleast the theory side im trash at manual/practical stuff)

[still current]

So, I would really advice you try and get your motivation internally in order to really feel great about life and build up your ambition

[dusky pawn]

Im kinda just banking on that ngl that one day I get hooked onto some niche subject in my field and exploit my talent to become really good at that one thing

So far tho nothing like that occured

[still current]

Well, good luck

[dusky pawn]

Thanks I will need it

[still current]

I'm currently facing a huge wave of academic pressure and would probably end up having permanent brain damage haha

[dusky pawn]

Even if it never happens maybe the money and my friends keep me from becoming bitter

[still current]

I would probably need luck too

[dusky pawn]

Yeah im just past the apocalyptic levels of exams but I came out unscathed anyway

Its funny how no matter how good at this I am and how much I improve im still stressed by exams

[marble gyro]

[ebon bear]

good boy

[marble gyro]

Did gsc do any technician updates in stalker 2?

Because I could have sworn I could upgrade the M860 Cracker before at the first tech in Zassylia

[shell flax]

Picked up a new SSD for the rig, now I can move my Steam stuff off the HDD

[main jewel]

why is stalker 2 lighting so buns

[plain fiber]

Oh yeah, I remember that stuff. Never tried it, didn't think it looked good.

[dusky pawn]

I mean all the cheap energy drink companies just copied redbull og

[plain fiber]

Because some atheists effectively treat it as a religion.

[dusky pawn]

Even base monster tastes basically the same as redbull but slightly sweeter and less medicinal

[plain fiber]

Red Bull tastes like melted down Sweet Tarts.

[shell flax]

Oh hey tim, you missed some buffoonery earlier yesterday

Also it turns out that was Roggatron all along

(Anyone who saw the man type could tell )

[sharp sierra]

Wondering guys whats the best suit drop you've had from an enemy? I got a few SSP100Is, just wondering what others have had

[dusky pawn]

Suit drop from an enemy ???

[shell flax]

You using a mid? NPCs don’t drop armor on their own

Reasonably because you just shot the piss out of them

[dusky pawn]

And it would be gamebreaking cause there's no levels to prohibit u from wearing them

[ruby gale]

Im not a fan of that thinking

If i get it and its fits its fair game

[shell flax]

It’s why I’m more of a fan
about the new pre placed ones in bodies, because you won’t find an Exo in lesser zone but you can still hunt down some goodies if you know where to look

[dusky pawn]

Only because the game isnt designed to accomodate that and is balanced through diff means

[ruby gale]

Like the starter ak taking 7 headshot?

[dusky pawn]

The game still needs some sort of progression otherwise its just giga boring

[ruby gale]

Thats why you make an interesting world

[dusky pawn]

I mean it is an rpg and its either this or npcs having higher accuracy like in tarkov

[dusky pawn]

The world doesnt change on diff difficulty levels the difficulty does

[ruby gale]

Id rather things just be realistic

[shell flax]

Ok you die after getting shot twice

[ruby gale]

Idgaf about balance

[dusky pawn]

Cool then play mods

Also hahaha nah you wouldnt

[ruby gale]

I do, I use better ballistics redux

[marble gyro]

Why does stalker 2 npcs have no collisions? They don't disturb anomalies at all, they just phase through as if they are nothing

[shell flax]

The intro would very much be that

[ruby gale]

You dont know me

[dusky pawn]

Welcome to piss poor bandit one shot domes you and ends your playthrough cause his 5.45 AK can pen any helmet

At 200m withiron sights cause its not even that hard

[shell flax]

Also the shotguns would be snipers still because shotguns actually have decent range

[ruby gale]

Just how i prefer things, I get others dont

[dusky pawn]

Also welcome to getting oneshot in your femoral artery and being unable to heal instantly in any way shape or form

Even arma doesnt have 'realistic' healing

[ruby gale]

Pretty much no game really does

[dusky pawn]

(Cause it sucks)

(Also cause most it people arent very good at bio respectfully)

[shell flax]

Quite honestly truly realistic stalker would be actual dog shit. You’d get domed before you have a single chance to see someone because AI will always have better reactions than you.

[dusky pawn]

It would be beta tarkov where scavs could two tap you in the leg and you just died

[marble gyro]

Realistic games in general would be a pain to deal with, like why would we want realism? I just want to play a game man

[ruby gale]

At the very least I just dont think some weapons should do less damage just because they're starter weapons unless it actually makes sense

[dusky pawn]

Xd

Wow how dare they balance guns through damage in an rpg

[shell flax]

Never mind the fact anomalies would be one shots nearly across the board

[dusky pawn]

A truly mysterious case

[ruby gale]

Sorry for having an opinion ig

[blazing ingot]

Games are meant to be fun. Which is why party poopers have hardcore freeplay mods, and push newcomers to play them over the base games.

I think llamas take longer but idk if i remember correctly

[shell flax]

Fascinating

Nope had it happen a few times very useful early on my first play through got a load of army suits in the sphere

[plain fiber]

Okay, what's with him and others saying that the Light Merc suit is Clear Sky armor when it very freaking clearly isn't? Do these people not read the descriptions? Are they colorblind and unable to differentiate between white/grey and sky blue?

[dusky pawn]

Its odd tidbit but I hate anything related to reproduction in my classes honestly

[shell flax]

Death/Rog also kept pointing out stuff that had been patched months ago, considered GSC ‘Failures’ for some slight I never bothered to remember and considered me worse then Epstein because I called him an asshole

[ruby gale]

I remember being the only one to laugh during the whole s-ed thing at school

[dusky pawn]

Many people seem to be functionally colorblind but idk why that is
My theory is that they see colors just fine but they dont have the vocabulary to differentiate and are also not used to differentiating

[plain fiber]

Good God..."Years to come". I can't stand this overly negative view of the game's future. I think it's very clearly not going to take years and years.

[dusky pawn]

Ohh I just got my parents to sign me out cause it was pointless

[plain fiber]

It's the armor worn by the guards at the 100 Rads bar, the description literally says this.

[ruby gale]

I dont think we had that option

[marble gyro]

Far from it, it's close and most likely it would take a couple of major updates to get it to where COP is at

[shell flax]

Also Tim the guy would literally get entire story beats wrong despite claiming to have beaten the game so I don’t trust him to pay attention lmao

[dusky pawn]

Ngl I didnt pay attention to the desc and thought it was part of the mono collection
But I just looked it up and accepted it unlike well him

[dusky pawn]

I prefer freedom cause bread+waaay easier to ID them

[ruby gale]

Mainly because most duty armor in game actually isnt that good

[shell flax]

Duty doesn’t hire mercs to kill loners

[dusky pawn]

Duty doesn't do anything in S2 😂

[ruby gale]

[shell flax]

Neither does freedom

[plain fiber]

Alright, I do agree with him that CO-OP would be a good idea. I think it's something that enough people want and I'm sure it would be more positively received than a basic, old-school DM/TDM/CTF thing.

[ruby gale]

More then duty

[marble gyro]

So I killed a military dude, even shot like 3 extra shots to the dude in the dome left the area and came back, he gets right back up and walks around with the previous bullets wounds left on him and immediately kills me

The freedom base defo feels more lively than duty's

[shell flax]

Also if you can’t tell I’m just having fun with this, I only dislike Spark

[plain fiber]

Dude can't spell "apologize" either apparently.

[dusky pawn]

Its ok im not that into being a freedom guy either

[ruby gale]

He was waiting for the right moment to strike

[dusky pawn]

My fav faction is probably the corps if we are speaking S2

[plain fiber]

And I hate CoP

Bro...

[dusky pawn]

OG freedom
And then gamma mercs

[ruby gale]

Im between a few factions

[plain fiber]

Ope, and there's some complaining about the map layout.

[ruby gale]

Probably bandits, free stalkers, and mercs

[dusky pawn]

Playing gamma feels like you are a merc regardless of faction so I treat merc dead city start as the canon

[plain fiber]

It really feel like not much time has passed.

Excuse me? Everything somehow being more rotted and neglected makes you feel like it's only two weeks after CoP?

[dusky pawn]

Lmao check his lore complaint

[plain fiber]

Pretty sure that's what I'm on now.

[dusky pawn]

Kek

[plain fiber]

#s2-lore-discussions message This?

[marble gyro]

Wow.....so they did change the way technicians work in the update

[dusky pawn]

Yeah that

[marble gyro]

Zassylia tech does not upgrade the M860 anymore

[dusky pawn]

ZASSYLIA

[ruby gale]

Ig it makes sense

[plain fiber]

Oh my God, why does he keep harping on about NPCs not reacting to us "stealing" stuff from them?

I'm with him on knife swings using too much stamina though.

[shell flax]

Holy dogshit aquaman, this SSD feels like night & day for S2

[ruby gale]

Sassy lia

[plain fiber]

Wait, were you playing S2 on an HDD this whole time?

[shell flax]

On pc yep

[plain fiber]

Wow, that sounds like torture.

[dusky pawn]

Zassylia sounds like some stupid pun about getting blowed in polish

[shell flax]

Midwest Stubbornness is an incredible thing, Tim

[plain fiber]

And his final words...

"They do work without problems..."

- DeathGuard75, 2026-01-29 18:29

[marble gyro]

Fine fine Zalissya

[shell flax]

My final words to Death

[plain fiber]

Well, that was depressing and frustrating to read through.

[shell flax]

https://tenor.com/view/juggernuts-warzone-cod-deeznuts-teabag-gif-19341870

[ruby gale]

Whoa, dont lump me in with him

[shell flax]

IM the stubborn one, Death is a Brit iirc

[plain fiber]

No, he's talking about running S2 on an HDD.

[ruby gale]

Oh, I thought you meant death

But ig that doesn't make sense, he was definitely not Midwestern

[cobalt fiber]

To be fair not all of his complaints were wrong

[shell flax]

Oh definitely

[plain fiber]

No, I found myself agreeing with some of the things he said actually.

[ruby gale]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

[cobalt fiber]

He was also playing on Master last and ran into the infamous bug concerning the three captains. I felt for that one tbh

[shell flax]

But when he straight up ignores descriptions, dialogue & stuff just to say stuff I think I can laugh at him for those ones

[cobalt fiber]

Cos you can’t save scum out of that one on master

[plain fiber]

He reminds me of this dude from West Virginia (I think) from the Armored Core Discord. Dude got his ass banned for, I believe, a racial slur.

Old dude with a chip on his shoulder basically.

[cobalt fiber]

The problem is he’s one of those dudes that seems to not be able to just google a thing

[ruby gale]

My favorite

[cobalt fiber]

Literally 90% of the problems can be worked around with a 5 minute google

[ruby gale]

[plain fiber]

Ah, the IT worker's nightmare.

[bitter nexus]

any way for my friend to appeal a ban?

[ruby gale]

Like how fast do you need to slap a chicken to cook it in one hit

[shell flax]

Like when he shit himself because Lummox’s AK jams super early?

[plain fiber]

Uh...

[shell flax]

there ain’t no god damn way he’s trying already

[ruby gale]

Getting banned from here probably means you deserve it

[plain fiber]

Someone on the subreddit pointed this out, but if you actually bother to read the description, it really shouldn't surprise you. It is frustrating, but yeah.

What was your friend's name?

[shell flax]

His response was ‘then why can I repair it to full?’

[bitter nexus]

his account got hacked and spammed servers but he was able to get it back

[plain fiber]

You can though?

@cobalt fiber You wanna deal with this?

[ruby gale]

Thats what it said

[cobalt fiber]

Who

[bitter nexus]

Achneo

[shell flax]

No death was asking why can he repair it to full if it’s so beat up

[plain fiber]

I realized that right after I typed that, whoops.

[marble gyro]

In stalker 2, what's everyone's ideal loadout? For me it's a viper, 1911, and a saiga, consumables are 2 radiation pills, 3 bread, 1 tourists delight, 4 waters two energy drinks and 4 RGD5s

[ruby gale]

With enough time, effort, and money anything can be fixed

[marble gyro]

I grab the rest of my meds OSP style

[plain fiber]

The problems with that AK would probably require the full replacement of several internal parts judging by the description.

[shell flax]

Probably the entire mechanism I won’t lie which, even irl that’s expensive as shit

[shell flax]

G36, Ram-2, UDP

[main jewel]

app to destroy all opps

[stark crescent]

anyone else maybe notice there are alot of dead bodies around camps? like, not just that new camp in hte burning forest, but at icarus as well

[shell flax]

I wonder if in a few weeks I could save up enough to get a DP-12

[ruby gale]

Sotnyk, clusterfuck, Texan, 10 meds/vinca, 5 anti-rad/psi-block, 3 condensed milk

[ruby gale]

I'll mostly find camps that have killed the previous users

[ruby gale]

Granted im also using BBR and OXA

Plus a mod that allows any weapon in the pistol slot

[plain fiber]

I was gonna say 200 BS? Then I remembered saiga

[marble gyro]

200bs?? Wow for saiga I just carry two drum mag max

[ruby gale]

You can spam the shit pretty quick

[cobalt fiber]

Done. Tell him to set up 2FA to avoid it in the future

[marble gyro]

You can true, but I just have it at semi to conserve ammo

[ruby gale]

Isnt it only semi? I dont remember a full auto

[marble gyro]

Well yeah, unless you have a crazy trigger finger

[sly jacinth]

thanks a lot 🙏

[proven hollow]

would be based if achneo just spammed another scam post rn

[ruby gale]

I was thinking slur

[plain fiber]

There, better formatting and included stuff I forgot. That's my current loadout.

[ruby gale]

I haven't played in a hot minute so memory is fuzzy

Plus ive got a massive migraine

[plain fiber]

Crazy trigger finger

*raises hand*

[ruby gale]

I've had practice

[proven hollow]

take some painkillers and go to bed bro, staring at a screen will just make it worse

[ruby gale]

I should, but I won't

[proven hollow]

cringe smh

[ruby gale]

Snowrunner has sucked me in again unfortunately

[proven hollow]

it ain't worth the pain bro

[ruby gale]

Plus i just found out 5 hours ago my dad was in the ER since last night and ive been trying not to have a mental breakdown

He's in a normal room now but still unnerving

[main jewel]

im downloading dayz cause i got bored of stalker 2

now whats happening here

[proven hollow]

is he okay though?

[proven hollow]

we're making stickers with weird ass names

[main jewel]

oh woah im sorry

[ruby gale]

Yeah, just found out he has diabetes less then a week ago since he was supposed to have surgery on his knee and now his blood pressure spiked high

[cobalt fiber]

Np welcome back

[proven hollow]

sucks to find out, but thank god it's treatable

[ruby gale]

But our family is nothing if not resilient so im sure he'll pull through all it

Was gonna say indestructible but thats cringe

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah diabetes is a lot more manageable now than it used to be

My 3 year old has type 1

[harsh jungle]

fr I also have type 1

if u get diagnosed before the age of 18 u cant join the military

[ruby gale]

Not sure which one it is yet, but I always have a positive outlook when it comes to family

[plain fiber]

SnowRunner my beloved.

[ruby gale]

Keeps me grounded

[cobalt fiber]

If it’s this far in life probably type 2

[harsh jungle]

holy crud I’ll have had type 1 for 21 years in April 😳

[cobalt fiber]

Not 100% but most likely

[ruby gale]

I wouldn't be surprised honestly, but like I said, he's tough so I'm hoping he'll be fine

He's only 40/41 i think

[cobalt fiber]

The tech has come far from when I was a kid and dealt with my dad having type 1 honestly

My 3 year old got diagnosed a month after turning 2

And the shit they can do now

[plain fiber]

Does DayZ have singleplayer or is it still multiplayer exclusive like the original mod?

[cobalt fiber]

It’s mind blowing

[harsh jungle]

fr fr

[ruby gale]

Isnt it server based?

[cobalt fiber]

She got the pump like

6 months ago

Game changer

[harsh jungle]

I am biased towards the Omnipod tbh

[cobalt fiber]

It has its faults but for a kid that age it’s great

[cobalt fiber]

Cos they don’t always eat what you want them to etc

[plain fiber]

It is, just wasn't sure if the standalone had a singleplayer mode or not after all this time.

[cobalt fiber]

So it’s very handy having the automation

[marble gyro]

You want some server recommendations? I still know some people with solid severs

[main jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/the-quintessential-quintuplets-itsuki-nakano-gotoubun-no-hanayome-gif-13075274573322027537

[cobalt fiber]

When she first got diagnosed at that awkward 2 year old stage it was fucking hell

[main jewel]

im on the worst version of dayz

called

xbox

so

[ruby gale]

Tragic

[plain fiber]

Can't remember, does it have anticheat?

[harsh jungle]

I got diagnosed with type 1 when I was 6 😳

[marble gyro]

I know lite modded servers on dayz for consoles

[cobalt fiber]

My dad was 11

[main jewel]

stalker 2 is so boring now i gotta play console dayz 💔

[cobalt fiber]

That’s prob where she got it from

My shit genes lmao

[shell flax]

Type 2 when I let my health finally go to absolute shit in 2021

[cobalt fiber]

All my childhood I got told if I have kids it’ll probably skip a generation and they were right

[ruby gale]

Warframe, will consume all your time

[harsh jungle]

my dad didn’t have it but I got it from his side of the family

doesn’t* bro is still alive

[cobalt fiber]

It’s so difficult when so young too

Like my kid wouldn’t show any hypo symptoms

Not like with older kids and adults

[harsh jungle]

the main things to look out for with hypos is the hungy feeling tbh

[cobalt fiber]

And then when poorly and wouldn’t eat she had to stay in hospital for like 5 days at one point

[marble gyro]

I was close to having a kid, but my ex did not want one, so she had her parents take her to pharmacy to get a plan B

[cobalt fiber]

Cos couldn’t keep food down

So bloods were just fucked all the time when she was sick

[harsh jungle]

highs mostly are thirsty feels for me tbh

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah that’s how I noticed her initial symptoms before taking her for diagnosis

She would wake up at like 2am

Drink 2 bottles of juice

Go to sleep her nappy would be full and bursting within an hour

[harsh jungle]

I did lose some weight before I was diagnosed iirc

[cobalt fiber]

Shit was scary though cos of the age, when I took her they said if it had been left any longer she could have been comatose

She was in DKA? Something like that

[plain fiber]

Y'know what, I'm gonna play Brigador again.

[cobalt fiber]

But she a happy little girl now so I’m blessed

Healthy and happy

[shell flax]

That’s how I found out I was type 2, I went into DKA one day

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah that shits scary man

[main jewel]

my time has already been spent playing this game all last year

[harsh jungle]

I almost wound up in DKA a couple years ago bc both my pump and sensor were acting wonky

[shell flax]

My aunt dropped me on my ass & we caught I had a brain tumor too after they scanned me

[plain fiber]

I dropped Warframe because I couldn't stand the grind anymore and I didn't want to put money into it.

[cobalt fiber]

She was in hospital for like 9 days when first diagnosed too

[main jewel]

true the grind was hard

and i have a life so i cant grind too much

[cobalt fiber]

My ex was uncomfortable and not very confident so wanted like 2 extra days for more training

[twin mantle]

Hi

[main jewel]

dayz is a play till you loose so woohoo

[cobalt fiber]

There’s some good servers on Xbox tbh

[main jewel]

we used to kill people woth your name

[ruby gale]

Same

[harsh jungle]

I think I taught my dad how to give himself shots once

[main jewel]

well not that its just generally xbox sucks

but i have a mouse and keyboard so

[twin mantle]

😢

[main jewel]

but not sure if itll work on xbox for this game

[cobalt fiber]

I hated giving my baby them

For a while anyway

Cos they don’t know wtf you’re doing they just get scared at that age

[main jewel]

usually xbox versions of multiplayer games dont like mouses and keyboards

[cobalt fiber]

Would give her an iPad and distract her and act fast af so she didn’t know what was happening lol

The only thing that worries me though

Cos of having this since 2 I worry about the feet and eyes complications

[harsh jungle]

I rarely have to do them nowadays but when I do it’s when my blood sugar was high as a kite and won’t come down

[cobalt fiber]

No doubt she’s gonna have complications in the 30s at least

Which sucks

[main jewel]

i do ahve a mic so im safe

[harsh jungle]

my eye doctor thought I was starting to experience retinopathy, but after some testing at a specialist place, it just turned out I have big veins behind my eyes

[cobalt fiber]

My ex also doesn’t really manage it the best. She goes by the logic that she can have whatever food she wants cos it can be countered with insulin

Instead of being wary of certain food

That kinda pisses me off

[harsh jungle]

tbf I can have whatever I want I am just incredibly picky bc of the ‘tism

[still current]

[marble gyro]

Lately dayZ players want people to have mics because of their paranoia, otherwise they'll shoot on site

[cobalt fiber]

I just think sweets and high carb snacks should be kept for once per night not several times a day just because

I mean even without the diabetes

Dieting is important with kids

[shell flax]

Bust down a wall & blow their melon off, Wallhammer style

[ruby gale]

Thats pretty much any game

[harsh jungle]

I only do sweets twice a day and fast food every few months or so

[stark crescent]

through the power of magic, i fixed my middle mouse button

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah you gotta look after yourself with food

People don’t realise how important that is

[marble gyro]

Little games have prox chat

[harsh jungle]

I do gotta get back on a stimulant tho

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah you mentioned the other day with the other shit they’ve got you on

[harsh jungle]

it’s cause my anxiety med made me gain like 40 pounds or sm crap

[cobalt fiber]

I’ve gotten quite big since venflaxin

Don’t realise for a while cos I was eating bigger meals etc trying to stick to 3 meals a day

But it’s defo not just that

Like I’m not fat but this is the biggest I’ve ever been

[harsh jungle]

yeah it’s probs not just the anxiety med for me but I should also exercise some more too

[odd siren]

Anyone please help, I keep dying mid cutscene to the scripted emmission outside in the ad astra per aspera quest's end
(I'm loosing my mind)

[cobalt fiber]

Oh yeah I keep meaning to rejoin a gym

But I just cba

[main jewel]

well mic or not my past experience is that cause im a woman dayz guys treat me more like zombies than a survivor so

[cobalt fiber]

Used to love it pre Covid but since then I’ve no motivation

[main jewel]

but a mic is always essential

[cobalt fiber]

I always favoured semi rp servers on dayz tbh

So a mic was a must

Back in the day I even played a dayz server on San Andreas multiplayer

Was pretty cool tbh

back in the samp DM clan days

[main jewel]

oh i can only use mouse and keyboard for those specific servers

on xbox

ill have to tho cause xbox controller is ass

[cobalt fiber]

KBM is a must in dayz purely cos of inventory

[main jewel]

mhm

[cobalt fiber]

Doing that with a controller is aids

[main jewel]

the controls for day aint to bad either

dayz

[cobalt fiber]

It’s a fun game which still holds up even despite the faults

You know what I’m not ashamed to admit I look forward to being ported though

Euro truck sim

Such a chill game

[shell flax]

I’m waiting for the new Space Marine 2 update bringing the new class

Also chapter voice packs

[cobalt fiber]

I tried to replay BG3 on Xbox too

Horrible experience on consoles

Not a game that’s suited for console at all

[ruby gale]

Absolutely not

The ui and everything feels weird/slow

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah doing anything just feels so slow and shitty too

[ruby gale]

Especially when you have 30 different spells/stuff to slot in the radial

[cobalt fiber]

Takes forever to find what you’re looking for cos it just wasn’t designed for that stupid wheel menu

Yeah lol

[shell flax]

I still think the absolute funniest possible port that may or may not happen is Tarkov

Nikita apparently said ones in development but it’s Nikita

[cobalt fiber]

I worry euro truck sim will be the same with the radial though

Cos when you think about it there’s a lot that’s shortcutted on PC

[ruby gale]

I really want RoN to get some new weapons, because im seriously tempted to make a poor financial decision to buy a high end pc to use mods

[cobalt fiber]

Ah RoN is still fun on consoles but fuck me the censorship

[main jewel]

arena breakout would be the funniest

[ruby gale]

Yeah, it is kinda lame and ruins some missions like valley

[cobalt fiber]

I’ve got the deluxe or w/e on Xbox

Yeah exactly

Valley was the worst one

For censorship that is

[main jewel]

and tarkov on console would lowkey be the most unplayable thing ever trust

[cobalt fiber]

Thing is pre censorship it wasn’t even that bad

It didn’t show anything extremely graphic anyway

[ruby gale]

All they hotkeys missing and needing to scan you rig/pack for the meds you need would suck

[shell flax]

its basic inventory management

[cobalt fiber]

I’ve been replaying FO4 tbh

Not anniversary though

[ruby gale]

Hell BG3 has literal full nudity so it makes no sense

[cobalt fiber]

I refuse to pay because of how much they fucked mods in the anniversary update

[shell flax]

Half of the crap in the quick binds on Tarkov is near useless in game from what I’ve seen

[cobalt fiber]

But I gotta admit I’m enjoying this FO4 replay a lot

[ruby gale]

The 100gb update to mod space would be nice

[cobalt fiber]

They fucked up lots of mods though and creators refuse to update

[ruby gale]

Thats why starfield failed so bad, modders just didn't care anymore

Plus no custom animation support

[cobalt fiber]

Idk what made me replay FO4, probably the series but I am genuinely enjoying it again

I would have done NV but I’ve ran through the mojave way too many times

[ruby gale]

Ironically enough snowrunner mods are more stable than anything, the browser kinda goes retard every now and then but its still good for what it is

[cobalt fiber]

I hope ETS and ATS have some decent mod support when it comes to the Xbox release

[ruby gale]

I've done that for fo4 pretty much, boring to play anymore

[cobalt fiber]

Funnily enough I never played Nuka world

Done all the others but not that

And I’m not really sure why cos I’ve had GOTY for years

One thing that peeves me off though since the next gen update

[ruby gale]

Nuka is ok but kinda jank sometimes, especially the kiddie kingdom zone

[cobalt fiber]

You know when you first help Danse and then have to do one of the radiants for Haylen and Rhys at least once to progress

It now randomizes to the point one of them can end up in far harbor

Which is so dumb considering it’s meant to be a low level thing lmao

[ruby gale]

Far harbor is definitely not a low level area

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah my quartmermastery quest ended up in far harbor

Never happened in other playthroughs

So annoying

Literally lazy coding too cos it’s not hard to stop the randomization from hitting DLC areas

[marble gyro]

Nah, we have delta force, same concept but faster and more arcadey

[cobalt fiber]

Fuckin Bethesda

[marble gyro]

Tarkov on console would work

[ruby gale]

Isn't that game p2w

[marble gyro]

No

[cobalt fiber]

I’m only peeved cos I wanted to do remnants though

[ruby gale]

Or some other tarkov like

[cobalt fiber]

And you gotta hit a certain point in BoS to do it

[marble gyro]

It's like Apex and tarkov basically

Because of the specialists

[ruby gale]

Never was a fan of apex

[cobalt fiber]

Arc raiders was good

[marble gyro]

It's dying now

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah it’s too sameish after the expedition

It’ll pick up when they add this new large arc in a few months though

[marble gyro]

They nerf a lot of weapons, arcs are getting more stronger, they will kill their player base

[cobalt fiber]

Tbh I haven’t played since first expedition

Did everything, maxed everything

[ruby gale]

Like HD2

[cobalt fiber]

Doesn’t feel like there’s much left to do

[main jewel]

delta force is fine but like the extraction mode is like any weird chinese knockoff

[marble gyro]

HD2 came back tho because they stopped nerfing weapons and just made them more adaptable

People don't like it now, because the difficulty

[cobalt fiber]

Embark did the same shit with the finals tuoufh

They fucked it up

[marble gyro]

Truee

[ruby gale]

Un-nerf the coyote to deal burn on each hit now

[cobalt fiber]

The finals was pretty good for a while for a f2p tbh

[marble gyro]

It does

[plain fiber]

God, it feels good to hear the Brigador soundtrack in my headphones again.

[marble gyro]

Plus medium armor pen and does 3 damage per sec per burn stack

[ruby gale]

Did they undo that stupid nerf?

[marble gyro]

The fire build up? Yeah only works on organics tho

Bots just get penetrated

[ruby gale]

Lot of weapons have low pen damage now that I think about it

Itd be nice if we could choose ammo types to deal more damage to armor or tissue

Good weapon lvl25 unlock

[marble gyro]

I'm hoping that's the major update

We finally have weapon customization now give us ammo types

Oh and apparently there is a huge nerf coming too for the c4

It's been one tapping Hive lords

[ruby gale]

You mean like any explosive that hits right

Oh hive lord

Man fųck that thing

[marble gyro]

Yeah

[ruby gale]

Let it, finally something to deal with it

[marble gyro]

Nah, arrowhead wants that thing to be a menace to society

[ruby gale]

Thing wasnt even cool when it released, just annoying after the first appearance because it'd show up every time

If it was more random itd be fine but it showed up every time

Must've caught whatever my boss had at work today, head is killing me/burning and im dry coughing

As much as I admire his dedication to his business sometimes you need to know when to take a day off

[marble gyro]

Damn man, take some ibuprofen

Time for the rest of COP

[marsh drum]

I really hope they change how repairs work, there should be no need to run to a npc to repair yellow damaged weapons, a stalker should be able to do it himself, love the rest of the game

Especially if we are going for realism

[mystic temple]

I guess it depends on the stalker how much experience they have with guns prior to entering the zone

I could do it for sure - especially if I could find the parts off of dead guys

[marsh drum]

I get going to a npc on red but on yellow its just jamming issues and so on, realistically anyone who used a gun for a few months is capable of fixing those issues

Yea they could add to it by having us loot new materials or something

Imagine adding gun cleaning animations like rdr2

[mystic temple]

Yeah maybe you could do the repair yourself if you looted oil or something.

Idk when I think of realism I’m not worried about those aspects - in fact it’s easier to make some npc do it

[mystic temple]

Ooo imagine doing it at a campfire - vibes fr

[marsh drum]

Going to npc just is a needless time stop as im playing

Yeah, i thought it had that especially when early on that guy has you put together the AK

[magic crypt]

Saw that I was able to download Chernobylite for free bc of PS plus extra but sad since I can't put the audio language as Ukrainian

Now I'm just stuck sitting thinking if I should just put it on English.

[marble gyro]

Realism would be, artifacts would do jack squat, this game is a Sci Fi world, not realistic

[marsh drum]

You cant deny that the game is going for gun realism, that is why it would imo fit the game to have the player be able to do repairs on guns

I dont think it would hurt the game at all

[marble gyro]

Just because the main character comes from a military background does not mean he has the the know how to maintain his weapons and equipment, also that would just add more assets that we don't need, come on man, thinking about it, we would have to carry materials plus ammo and meds and food

[marsh drum]

Like the other guy mentioned, it would be neat to sit by a campfire and clean my guns

IMO we already have loot that makes us go to camps, i dont think we need repairs to cause more breaks in gameplay but that is just me

[marble gyro]

This is not fallout man, it's a world where it's ran by money and switching weapons on the fly, your weapon breaks? Find a new one for temporary use until you get back to a repair smith

[marsh drum]

It makes less sense in fallout since all the guns are made up and patched together, its not hard to fix jamming or feeding issues on guns in stalker

[marble gyro]

Guns are not patched together in fallout what?? Fallout 3 and NV

[marsh drum]

They are not real guns

[marble gyro]

4 does not have conditioning

[marsh drum]

You got pipe guns and other stuff that is all made up too

Stalker literally uses real life guns with name changes

[marble gyro]

So you are telling me that in NV 1911, M1A1, anti tank rifles, service rifles based on the m16 are not real?

Huh, guess I'm living in a fantasy land and simulation then

[marsh drum]

I didnt play NV much and its been ages but in fallout 4 all the guns if not all are made up

They might look like an ak or something like the rad rifle but again its not, its made up

[marble gyro]

But still, in Fallout 4 there is no conditioning and gear maintenance unless its the power armor pieces, and I'm not referring to that

[frosty zenith]

Hello, quick question - anyone was able to try New Game Start with Unlimited and main story enabled to say if it is playable and working correctly?

[elfin hedge]

idk

[shell flax]

The gun discussions here reminds me of someone asking why Skif doesn’t do retention reloads

[tardy rain]

Just download a mod, ideally some kind of overhaul that adds weapon repair kits and weapon customisation

I hear there's some great ones out there

Truly life-changing stuff

[shell flax]

In universe example would probably be it’s not efficient to do mid gunfight because while you’re flopping your mags about, that bandit with a Toz is getting closer

[shell flax]

Indeed, I truly endorse them

Also, got an SSD so I might actually be able to help testing next time (if my job doesn’t wipe me mentally )

And yes I’ve been playing S2 on an HDD in pc, do not recommend

[marsh drum]

Trying to find one that only changes repairs, nothing out there. I dont want something that changes a lot of things

It just they put so much attention to detail when it comes to their firearms, it would take a normal person a few days to learn how to properly tear down and fix a gun, just sits a bit funny with me to see a stalker unable to do it. Rest of the game imo is perfect

[marsh drum]

Dude that is great thanks

[tardy rain]

Check the requirements, may need the technician rework counterpart

[marsh drum]

Ok

[shell flax]

Stalkers aren’t exactly the smartest when it comes to taking care of their gear, they basically beat their equipment into submission more then actually take care of it

Hell, there’s a dude in rookie village who patches holes in his suit with duct tape because he doesn’t want to just bite the bullet and pay

Also cleaning a gun might be easy but replacing parts would probably still be expensive for the the average Loner

[marsh drum]

Knowing guys at the range, they all rather use duct tape than spent money to fix their gear but i dont know, i would just prefer it if we could do weapon repairs but i get having to use npc for gear repairs and once a weapon turns red

I hope they add more guns too and a button to inspect weapons

[cobalt fiber]

Did someone say Fallout doesn’t have real guns

🤔

The .44 Magnum is literally the S&W 29

One shining example

[marsh drum]

My point is that its easier to fix manufactured weapons than the patched up stuff in fallout

[cobalt fiber]

Have you ever patched up a pipe rifle?

[marsh drum]

You got ak’s with radium stuff, i get it if the character cant fix it

But in stalker u got a basic Kimber 1911 and HK pistols

[shell flax]

The problem with repairs in the field, especially in some place like the zone, gunk & nasty shit would jam up the system because you’re still in a swampy hellscape, your gloves are slathered in mud, blood and shit. You’d genuinely probably do more damage trying to fix a dented dust cover with how nasty the zone is.

[cobalt fiber]

https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Fallout_4#.2210mm_Pistol.22

Literally tonnes of real guns with different IG names

[marsh drum]

I think people are exaggerating how difficult it is to get a weapon to work right after carbon build up and so on

[shell flax]

Never mind how screwed you’d be if a flesh or boar attacks you while you’re cleaning the bolt carrier or something lmao

[marsh drum]

Again my point is those fallout weapons are not real weapons manufactured now

[shell flax]

It isn’t difficult but it takes time and basic equipment to do it right

[cobalt fiber]

Plenty are still in circulation

[shell flax]

Just rubbing a plain rag on it won’t do much but smear it all over the place

[cobalt fiber]

The PPK is still manufactured for example

[marsh drum]

What do you think is easier to fix? A fallout ak with radium hook ups and stuff that fires radiation or a simple 1911?

[main jewel]

i thought the .44’s were real

[cobalt fiber]

But you’re focusing on Fallout 4 which literally has no vanilla conditioning of weapons

[main jewel]

i guess not

[marsh drum]

You are missing my point

[cobalt fiber]

I don’t think I am

[marsh drum]

I dont get why you are so against a stalker being able to repair a gun lol

[cobalt fiber]

There’s no comparison to be made because the system doesn’t exist in the game you are using as a comparison

[hollow wave]

Does anyone else have a problem with using the x16 scopes mod on xbox? I cant get the scope to mount in my inventory with the gun unequiped because the context menu only lets me drop the scope, the only way i can mount it is if i have it equipped. Then i could use the "t" menu or the context menu in the inventory. But the scope doesnt work if i do that

[cobalt fiber]

That’s like comparing it to Fortnite, or the Sims - the same argument applies

There’s no system to compare

[shell flax]

I’m against the idea it’s just

Sit at a campfire (completely exposed)
Fix
Move on

Actually repairing a gun is still a bit of a process, cleaning it is simple yes. But replacing a busted firing pin or shattered handguard is time consuming

[marsh drum]

I mean i sit at a campfire to play the guitar when i need a short break, imo it would fit well

[cobalt fiber]

That’s what mods are for

[marsh drum]

I’m scarred for life from elder scrolls modding, want less mods if possible lol

[shell flax]

It also doesn’t help some guns in S2 irl need whole ass tool cases to maintain like the Ram-2 or the Kharod lmao

Those things ain’t easy to dismantle

[marsh drum]

You got me thinking about a whole skill tree but then that would prob take away from the vibe of the game

I’d love to be able to build my own small base, basically a more realistic fallout if thats a thing

[shell flax]

Kyne has a mod for that in development

[marsh drum]

Il prob try mods later on, have a feeling updates will roll out soon again

[shell flax]

You aren’t gonna get the hyper in depth features like manual gun repair in vanilla, it’s just not in GSC’s playbook I imagine. We’ll get more guns & gear as time progresses but the most gun tism thing you’ll get is Skif reassembling an AK in a cutscene

[marsh drum]

Il be happy with just an inspect button

Or how cyberpunk does it where you triple press unseath button and it does the gun check

I waste a lot of ammo trying to see the gun action when bored lol

[tardy rain]

That's doable, but needs the animations creating - there's only a handful of 'inspect' animations in the game rn

[marsh drum]

Yeah just a press check or something small

[shell flax]

Oxide is your man though if you want to go full autistic with guns (Especially if you’re on pc)

[marsh drum]

Yeah im on pc

Funny enough ups lost my frame so I’ve been back to stalker since i cant go out and use it irl lol

Dlss 4.5 is so nice btw

[main jewel]

the x16 scopes also cause bugs with oxa

but oxa is a good mod

[marsh drum]

Il prob finish the game then try mods on a fresh start

[main jewel]

standard/core for consoles allow customization

[marble gyro]

They've only played 4 it seems

[hoary crest]

Can confirm

[main jewel]

prototype for pc can have you equip new gear types like boots to make you run fasterr and has more gun customization and repair kits and auch

[hollow wave]

I wasnt using oxa ehen trying out the x16 mod

[marsh drum]

U seen a fusion rifle irl? Let me know where to buy one

[shell flax]

Once you start digging into mods, give a good look at the threads in the S2 mod tab

Oxide, Kazz, Shay, Kyne, Wool, Ace, Kaimanov and many others.

Truthfully I think I’ve only been disappointed by one thing in my time with mods and that’s the fact that sdwits stuff didn’t work for me on Xbox

[hoary crest]

Nasa put a laser on the mars rover that can vaporise rock, I'd say you gotta wait 20 years and then you might get summat similar 😄

[shell flax]

Service rifle in New Vegas

[hollow wave]

This is the only sdwits thats hasnt worked for me on xbox

[shell flax]

Headless armor crashes me to dashboard on loading a save

[hollow wave]

Oh rip, i use the "any gun can fit into pistol slot", " hold breath", and "alternate aim"

[marsh drum]

Think im close to beating the game, does the game end or can i keep playing?

[hollow wave]

Oh and "skip intro cutscene"

[shell flax]

Nope, no post story play. You hit a point of no return (which it gives a big ass point of no return notification to warn you) then you’re done

[modest notch]

is there eta for next update

[marsh drum]

Ah kingdom come like, cool

[marble gyro]

Tomorrow

[hollow wave]

It will send you back to the main menu but you can load back into the save

[wise depot]

When will the miniture game drop

[main jewel]

well x16 mod sucks compared to oxa

oxa has like way more new sighta

nights

SIGHTSSA

and all guns can have iron sights n stuff

theres like 6 or 7 lazers

new suppressors

[hollow wave]

True, i was just wanting to try it , but because im on xbox i cant drag and drop attachments, and the weapon has to be equipped for me to put an attachment on the gun, i was just curious if there was a way to get to the mod to work properly on xbox, but it seems not

[unborn hill]

hey does anyone know how to fix floating scopes/suppressor for OXA prototype for H416??

[main jewel]

well youd have to go into ur inventory

[main jewel]

#1399623509830795468

i use mouse and keyboard for stalker 2 xbox now so

but youd have to go to ur inventory and press the button with 3 lines i think

[charred nova]

looks like that random commissions guy was a scammer after all no 1895 for now

[main jewel]

on the attachment and select it

[main jewel]

oh well ueah

[charred nova]

one day......

[hollow wave]

Ik, but the mod only works if you equip the scope to the weapon if its unequiped, and when i bring up the context menu to do that it only lets me drop the scope

[main jewel]

oh well

i guess uh

this is your time to invest in a mouse and keyboard

actually your experience is more immersive with it

you dont have to go into ur scroll wheel thing for anything anymore

so

[main jewel]

i found my body in dayz and i found my glorious repeater rifle

[marble gyro]

Lucky no one looted that

[gloomy nebula]

do they plan on finishing the game eventually?

[shell flax]

Deploying the bears

[marble gyro]

What's the max Player pop in your server?

[marble gyro]

Tomorrow

[charred nova]

ayo

[main jewel]

60 is max but theres like 57 other guys so

ive moaned and then slaughtered people right after

its funny

my mouse shoots when i switch my aim so

i use my mouse for inv management only

[marble gyro]

Oh nice! That's a good server, official or community?

[charred nova]

[main jewel]

im glad i have my tourist map

[main jewel]

official

[barren ginkgo]

Okay so I’m currently on extreme simplicity in Zarin

[main jewel]

the community ones spawn you with stuff so

[barren ginkgo]

*zaton

How far into the game am I?

[main jewel]

i suductivly moan before i shoot people

and if i ever hear them around and go to them

ill be normal

and then later ill do the same thing again

they will never know its the same person who killed them

[barren ginkgo]

Everybody said slag heap wasn’t barely scratching surface in about 8 or 9 hours in and it seems to me where I’m at I’m rapping the game up after getting the stolen scanner back from Faust

[main jewel]

until i kill them again

[main jewel]

dont blow through the story too fast

your almost at sircaa

[barren ginkgo]

Already done then? I’ve blasted through everything in my way playing on stalker dif

[charred nova]

[barren ginkgo]

I wreck everything that comes my way except that god dammmmmmmm chimera

[marble gyro]

Niiiice very nice, really good numbers for about official map, that means the players have actual stashes hidden around, would be worthwhile checking yas or shipyard

[barren ginkgo]

So basically just somebody tell me am I getting close to end of the game?

Like already???!!!

[marble gyro]

Your name does pop up on top of the screen when you prox chat just saying

[main jewel]

this is true

[main jewel]

nooo

ur not close

[marble gyro]

So I'm playing Oblivion right now on journeyman difficulty, and a basic goblin almost melted my entire health bar in this dungeon

Like what do they feed these guys???

[barren ginkgo]

Thank you

Also…. Just got an RPG… where the PHUCK is that chimera 😈

I want my lick back….

[main jewel]

the rpg sucks btw

it takes multiple shots to kill it

dont ask me why gsc did this choice

[marble gyro]

Lmao, rookie numbers the rpg does in this game

In stalker soc it takes 6 Shots to kill a chimera

[barren ginkgo]

wtf?!?!

It’s an RPG why why why why?!

[main jewel]

well also the rpg kinda sucks irl too

but gsc limited the rpg to being only good too personel

and like rodents

and dogs

and wildlife

[barren ginkgo]

Not at all dude what? The RPG will WRECK some decently heavy armor it’s just not all that actuate

[marble gyro]

I mean.....there are no chimeras irl so it's impossible to test that theory

[barren ginkgo]

*accurate

[main jewel]

also

I FOUND A DECAYED BASE

THERES FOOD

SODA

SODAAAA

A GUN

SODAAAAAA

[barren ginkgo]

The RPG will disable an M1 Abram’s from side shots and rears. Practically nothing will pen it from the front idet its own cannon will

But side and rear shots incapacitate it (not completely destroy and kill crew)

[marble gyro]

I'm just waiting for some aşs hat to camp that place and snipe you as you loot

Happened to me and my clan a lot

[main jewel]

well its near that irradiated zone

the little town

so odds are someone could have a 1pn51

or nv

but j havent seen anyone

its night

my cheeks are like glued together im so scared

[marble gyro]

Lol

[main jewel]

a dayz night is the scarest night apart from rust

[marble gyro]

Love that feeling in that game, the feeling of "Am I being watched?"

[main jewel]

hopefully this ij 70 will do me well

[marble gyro]

Worst gun

[main jewel]

ik but dont worry bruh

[marble gyro]

Better to find a CZ

[main jewel]

1 round in my repeater

[marble gyro]

Like if you think Stalker pistols are bad, IJ70 is the equivalent of a starter pistol in SoC

If not worse because the damage drop off is at 15m

[main jewel]

your acting like ive never playedd or watched thisds gameeee..

[main jewel]

i feel like the soc pistol is worse
