i was talking politics in vc with crimson once

and i did that

[main jewel]

but not on accident

[cobalt fiber]

The worst thing about ADHD for me was how I did crazy shit when I was younger

[charred nova]

i just lost my cool for a moment

[cobalt fiber]

Addictive personality coupled with the fact substances made it feel like symptoms were easily managed or put away

[main jewel]

i do it with my cool on

[charred nova]

oh me too

but in the moment

it was not on purpose

[main jewel]

its like releasing your back

[cobalt fiber]

A lot of people with adhd self medicate with other substances because different things push away different symptoms

[main jewel]

oh yeah

[cobalt fiber]

Like downers take away that anxiety side to it

[charred nova]

i just tank it like a man

[dusky pawn]

Ohh yeah ive heard about that ive even seen it in one person irl

[cobalt fiber]

I go au naturale with it now but it does also get easier with age

[charred nova]

yes the meds make you feel anxiety

and it can be a problem

[cobalt fiber]

Cos you learn your own copes

[main jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/squeak-yell-prairie-dog-gif-8723954077937677588

[charred nova]

sometimes i will get insanely freaked out

over some random bull shit that does not matter

[main jewel]

ill tank you

https://tenor.com/view/hyrax-cute-fluffy-funny-gif-gif-8629422556140035462

[cobalt fiber]

Overthinking is the worst part of it tbh

[cobalt fiber]

Like those quiet moments when you’re just lost in your head

[main jewel]

ill brick you.

[charred nova]

yes it puts me a loop of terror and fear sometimes

[dusky pawn]

Sorry for so many questions im just curious cause its something a lot of people around me suffer from and I just use any opportunity to understand it a bit more and you seem nice and idk willing to talk?

[charred nova]

which is very very unpleasant

[charred nova]

nah your good

i mean in real life im kinda strange i will admit

[dusky pawn]

I love when overthinking is 10x worse than the actual thing

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah I think that’s why most of us try and keep busy even if it’s just yapping and shit talking on discord

Cos you get lost in your own brain so bad at times

[charred nova]

like really strange probably but in adult life most people are not looking to fuck with you and bother you about it

so most of the time life goes on

[dusky pawn]

Do you guys also have maladaptive thoughts ?

[charred nova]

what does that mean

[dusky pawn]

Like say thinking about what you would do in case of a terrible event like someone's death

But not just thinking imagining all the details and immersing yourself in that

[main jewel]

mhmhm

all the freaking time

[charred nova]

do i sometimes have passing thoughts of what if i did something terrible

i mean sure i guess but ive never in my entire life thought to actually act on them

[dusky pawn]

Nah its more like thinking of how you'd behave if something happened and really immersing yourself in it

[main jewel]

i do this cause im all alone so

[dusky pawn]

Like you start planning how to pay funeral bills who to contact first etc

[main jewel]

sometimes i do nothing

[dusky pawn]

This is unrelated to the previous stuff I suffer from this myself

[main jewel]

i am not paying for no funeral bills in my thoughts and i havent yet

[charred nova]

oh nah ive never done

[dusky pawn]

Maladaptive tax evasion

[cobalt fiber]

Put it this way I can start to make up scenarios and think shit out in my head and I can genuinely wind myself up to the point I’m pissed odd/sad/etc because I’ve gone into it in so much detail that it’s almost real

[dusky pawn]

^^^

[main jewel]

sometimes i think what would happen if iiii died and stuff an how people would interact woth that, but for me its all noone cares so

[wraith fractal]

but it isn't

[main jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/benjammins-idk-this-person-questioning-random-person-this-who-gif-5295285761881556675

[dusky pawn]

Yeah im in my brain doing a speech about an event that never happened and im all emotional thats how this feels

[charred nova]

NOT TRUE

I would care

[wraith fractal]

im stalking your conversation, this is the stalker discord after all

[main jewel]

you wouldnt even know if i died

[main jewel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1398729130597548066/1469484419898151166/IMG_7105.gif

[charred nova]

well that is true but if i knew i would be sad

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah lmao I do it all the time

[wraith fractal]

[main jewel]

yay

[cobalt fiber]

After so long it’s just a normal thing though which is odd

[main jewel]

@ruby gale stop stalking or i will do something to you

[dusky pawn]

Does it bother you ? And also do you guys have those when around people too ? Cause mine completely vanish when im around people I like

[charred nova]

what i think about often is a grand purpose

[cobalt fiber]

Like I was diagnosed at 11 so I’ve just been kinda learning coping mechanisms since then

I get it when around people sure

There’s triggers

[main jewel]

im gunna go pick up my friend now she wants to hang out bye bye

[dusky pawn]

Bye creature

[cobalt fiber]

Someone can say something and it’ll trigger a domino effect in my brain that I sorta just have to push to the very back at the time to avoid people realising something is ticking inside my head

[dusky pawn]

Do you think the diagnosis was helful ?

[cobalt fiber]

At that age? Absolutely not

[charred nova]

in recent times there is something that often comes to my mind when i drive to school in the morning

[cobalt fiber]

It became an excuse and I don’t just mean in the sense of using it as one

[charred nova]

i've been thinking about it almost every day for over a year

[cobalt fiber]

School would use it as an excuse and I felt like a target for the shitty ones amongst faculty in high especially

As an adult that’s not so much an issue

[dusky pawn]

Ahh as in an excuse not to do their job

[cobalt fiber]

But as a kid you definitely get treated differently

[charred nova]

oh yah thats true

its much better once your an adult

people are less judgmental

[cobalt fiber]

You just get instantly labelled and treated differently and not in a helpful way

[charred nova]

like at my old job i was just considered to be kinda strange and a bit crazy

[dusky pawn]

Was the diagnosis related to performance in school or just happened

[charred nova]

i forget

i think my parents probably noticed i was kinda weird

[cobalt fiber]

I think my mum pushed for it because of behaviour and school backed it up for the same reason

Outbursts at home, naughty at school etc

[dusky pawn]

Ohh so more behavioral

[cobalt fiber]

It depends on the person cos not all adhd kids are naughty/rebellious

[charred nova]

like once at my old job i locked in so hard i worked for 16 hours because i felt i HAD TO finish the job i was working on

[cobalt fiber]

But I was

[charred nova]

the idea of just leaving it for next week

i just could not

i literally could not do it

[dusky pawn]

I know a lot of people are late diagnoses because they just dont have issues at school its why i asked

[shell flax]

I got my diagnosis because I barely focused period

I also was ready to fight at the drop of a hat but that’s another can of worms

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah I think behavioural is the main trigger for schools but performance can definitely come up

[dusky pawn]

Like anger issues ?

[charred nova]

my boss was like there is no way you worked this long and im like uh no i did and he then yelled at me and told me not to do it again because apparently its illegal for me to work more than 14 hours in a day or something due to labor laws

[cobalt fiber]

Behaviour is probably more of an immediate thing that’s noticed though

[charred nova]

silly goverment

[shell flax]

I choked a kid out in 1st grade you tell me lmfao

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah I had the anger issues side too

A naughty easily pissed off kid

There was a serious lack of support then vs now tho

[dusky pawn]

Ohh im only asking cause im rawdogging that my whole life thanks to my dad's genetics lmao

[shell flax]

I don’t go into that sheer level of fury anymore but I still tell people to stfu if they slightly annoy me lmao

[cobalt fiber]

Schools do a lot more now

[dusky pawn]

Im doing a pretty good job tho but im odd because of it

[cobalt fiber]

My ex had a kid who was adhd so I saw how that improved

Which is good

[charred nova]

i can only think of one or two instances where i was angry enough that i wanted to get violent

both times involved a women

[dusky pawn]

Thats mildly reasuring

[dusky pawn]

Same, probably why we argue so much

[charred nova]

my white knight armor was on so strong i was ready to throw hands

[shell flax]

In school I found like three friends and never really branched out

I enjoyed pissing people off though

[charred nova]

well who doesn't rage baiting people is fun

[dusky pawn]

I lost all my pre uni friends really

[shell flax]

Infuriated a whole group of guys once because I decided to agree with the exact opposite of what they said no matter what they said

[charred nova]

i got like 2 and i do not talk to them very often anymore

we use to talk all the time

[dusky pawn]

Le devil's advocate

[charred nova]

we worked at the same company

but after i got laid off we stopped talking as much

[dusky pawn]

Im guilty of being that many times try to limit it tho

[shell flax]

I’ve got a good group of buddies. Had em come down from the outer glaciers of New York for a music festival and met em in person.

[ruby gale]

Once I got out of school pretty much everyone went their own way

[cobalt fiber]

I will admit adhd has been a real pain for relationships because when it comes to arguments and disagreements it is not easy to deal with shit

The emotional regulation side mainly

[charred nova]

ive met one person from this server in real life actually

user nymph

we are pretty good friends i'd say

good enough i got invited to her wedding

[shell flax]

I just don’t care enough to try after my psycho ex

[dusky pawn]

I have a group of friends with a caveat
Because im in a super female dominated field i have 0 guy friends
Which is fine but you know 1 would be nice lmao

[cobalt fiber]

Man mine was a nutcase and you’d think she would be more understanding with certain things given she had a son with adhd

But it got used cos she knew what buttons to press and how

[shell flax]

Didn’t talk to her for a week because shit was crazy on my end, she breaks into her sisters account, falsifies her own suicide to guilt trip me, then a day later posts her new boyfriend and I’m just like

[charred nova]

i use to think i needed a relationship or i would never be happy

now i frankly do not care about it that much

i just think well i doubt most women would want to deal with my sudo bipolar personality

[ruby gale]

Its really not that important, nice when it happens, but nothing to die for

[cobalt fiber]

Mine has also stopped me seeing my baby girl since last September so that’s a whole other kettle of fish

[charred nova]

when i do and don't have my meds

[dusky pawn]

Who tf did you date dr.doofenshmirtz

[charred nova]

the machines will love me always and never complain

[shell flax]

I don’t remember her name I won’t lie, we dated for less than three weeks lmao. Thank god she saved me the trouble.

[dusky pawn]

Some people can be ok with anything bro I mean at this point i have 2 bipolar friends

[shell flax]

Stealing your engine coolant

[ruby gale]

Until the impact no longer Ugga duggas

[charred nova]

that would be very annoying

[shell flax]

And keying your rearview mirror

[charred nova]

yah must be a fucken snap on

[dusky pawn]

Dont forget to automate his gearbox

[charred nova]

no

NO

STAY AWAY

[dusky pawn]

[shell flax]

I’m an asshole, not evil

[charred nova]

i fought and watched many brothers die in the great gearbox wars of 2012

[shell flax]

Ill just give him multiple neutrals while he sleeps

[charred nova]

i will not give you my manual gearbox

[shell flax]

Obliterate the clutch while he watches

[charred nova]

well that would take a while

[ruby gale]

No, but everyone in my shop does, I use Milwaukee

[charred nova]

i can get snap on tools for 50 percent off

due to being in auto school

[ruby gale]

I just dont care for snap on shit

[dusky pawn]

I just realised that monkey's sentence wasnt gibberish

[charred nova]

but i buy snap on tools only when project farms or torque test channel says they actually make the best tool

[dusky pawn]

I am way too clueless about cars lmao

[charred nova]

me neither i care about whats best

[shell flax]

Over torque the oil filter with the patented PSA Gorilla Technique

[charred nova]

and what ever is the best is what i will buy

if its made by irwin tools

im buying irwin tools

[ruby gale]

Them things tighten themselves

[charred nova]

if its harbor freight im buying harbor freight

[charred nova]

yah then remove filter with screw driver

ill give subaru credit they make replacing the oil filter super easy

and mess free

its mounted vertically facing upwards in the engine bay

so it never makes a mess when you remove it very good design

[charred nova]

gotta be the chud who puts the oil filter on with an impact gun

[fickle hill]

So what's your vacuum

[charred nova]

idk i've not bought one yet

i was gonna buy some vice grips right now but turns out

the brand project farms tested ending production and is now 150 bux on ebay

WTF

[fickle hill]

Ouch

[charred nova]

they were suppose to cost 35 bux

[fickle hill]

Well I was gonna say if you got no price range on the vacuum part I would of recommended Karcher/Windsor Commercial vacuum

That's crazy on those vice grips

[charred nova]

i mean i technically paid like 250 for a vice grip

but this is not just any vice grip

its worth a lot more than that but i exploited the 25 year warranty on leatherman tools to get a brand new one for free

the one i bought was basically totally destroyed

[fickle hill]

Nice I been collecting stuff for my line of work I am waiting on a Magliner Hand truck

Stair lift, extension, 2 handles, brakes, 18x9 nose

[charred nova]

buy kei truck

[fickle hill]

I am already into the 23 F150 so that's out of the question

Plus I don't like noseless trucks because of the idiots I gotta live with

And I needed something that's gonna get me around in the mountain for when hunting season comes around next year

[charred nova]

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

turbo the kei truck it will get you anywhere you wanna go

[fickle hill]

Not my 03 Honda

I mean there is a KEI truck in great falls of all places but man I couldn't imagine trying to get that thing on a lift

I had better luck with a 6 wheeler long bed 2011 chevy power stroke

[main jewel]

i didnt die in a car crash

[charred nova]

yay

welcome back

[main jewel]

and my friend says hi now i must shower cause i stink

https://tenor.com/view/squeak-yell-prairie-dog-gif-8723954077937677588

[charred nova]

hello friend of lexa

[main jewel]

i used to have that exact same one

[marble gyro]

I have returned

[charred nova]

you had a crunch?

[main jewel]

mhm

but it got crunched

[charred nova]

what happened to it

oh

the head broke?

[fickle hill]

Welcome back

[marble gyro]

Family ate about 15plbs of pozole, maybe about 5lbs remain

[main jewel]

yuh

but its okay

[charred nova]

should have sent it in they would have given you a new one

[main jewel]

oh

well i dont read so

[marble gyro]

But you are reading now tho soooo

[charred nova]

why you can beat on leatherman tools with out thinking about it too much since even if it brakes and even if they don't make the tool anymore

they will still replace it for free anyways

[main jewel]

i saw it and i needed it so i bought it okay shower time if i keep getting distracted my girl stink will kill everyone

[fickle hill]

I mean kinda a similar reason I got a windsor vacuum

[charred nova]

like people will be like on reddit oh but the crunch can brake blah blah blah

[marble gyro]

Take a shower stinky

[charred nova]

SHUT UP YOU FUCKEN LOSER

HOW ABOUT THAT

IF ITS A TOOL IM GONNA USE IT

IF IT BRAKES I WILL GET IT REPLACED

[fickle hill]

Use it until it breaks and even then just keep it as a souvenir until you find a mill machines specialist

[charred nova]

i will admit as a multi tool the crunch kinda isn't that great

why i dual carry with a leatherman arc

[fickle hill]

I guess

I gotta catch a snap on truck in my area so I can get my fathers 3/8s gun replaced and grab a schedule so my boss can get his wrenches warrentied

Bro broken his wrenches while fixing his dodge that has a lift kit btw

[charred nova]

what wrench

just a regular one

[fickle hill]

Yeah regular open boxes

[charred nova]

oh rip

my set of those is by gearwrench

well my ratcheting ones are

[fickle hill]

All of my fathers is either out on the work bench or in his toolbox

I know all of his Torque wrenches are in the box

[charred nova]

my teacher is telling me i should shell out for the 3 set of snap on digital torque wrenches

which i really don't wanna do but apparently all modern cars now basically universally use torque to yield bolts now

[fickle hill]

Well no even old ones have torque specks

[charred nova]

yes

but they don't have torque to yield specs typically

[fickle hill]

More like a range

[main jewel]

meow

[fickle hill]

like 10 lbs per inch to 14

[charred nova]

well now its like

torque to x spec

then turn x number of degrees past that

[fickle hill]

Bro what

[charred nova]

boop

[fickle hill]

That sounds miserable it's gonna suck when an EV rolls in

[main jewel]

hoi

[charred nova]

its not just evs

[main jewel]

im level 36

[charred nova]

most modern car engines use this style of bolt now

basically they are one time use only

the idea is that by stretching the bolt

it holds better

with out the need for lock tite

[charred nova]

[fickle hill]

Well I was saying that because you need a whole new set of tools to even work on EVs my sister wanted a 2017 chevy EV

Then my father said "I don't have another tool box for that range"

[charred nova]

i mean

its still a car with bolts

its more so there are much greater risks involved

regulars cars don't really contain stuff they can blow you up or instantly kill you for the most part evs on the other hand do

[fickle hill]

Now I am getting curious for when the tranny needs service on my 23

[charred nova]

well evs don't have a gear box

[fickle hill]

Ah

[charred nova]

some of the early ones did but

evs have too much torque for most gear boxes to handle so they tend to just fail

why a lot of them are now just direct drive

[fickle hill]

Saddest part I am seeing more ford EV pick ups in my area that are in commission by the state police than sheriffs running the F250s

[charred nova]

don't get into a crash with a ford lightning what ever you do

body shop guy was telling me about them

ford charges 5k dollars for one tail light

ONE

TAIL LIGHT

not 2 not a pair

one

[fickle hill]

Bro that's cringe

[charred nova]

the guy had his car totalled by insurance because the minor fender bender was determined to be more expensive than the value of the car

wasn't even 10 years old

[fickle hill]

I mean tbh if the engine on my 23 quits I might try to find a single cab 2016 ford

Anything with a 5 liter will make me happy

[charred nova]

my next car i want to get is a 2007 wrx sti

[fickle hill]

GMC is out of the question since the Alison contract is over

Either that or grab a high millage F250 that are common around here and rebuild the engines

[charred nova]

Get your toyota

[fickle hill]

Everyone is holding on to those trucks like gold

Even the older models are hard to find

[charred nova]

speaking of i actually saw the super famous one from back to the future the other day

[fickle hill]

I saw a T100 here a little bit ago

[charred nova]

not a look a like one but

it was the same model

[fickle hill]

Anymore I see tundras on the streets and Tacomas parked somewhere

[charred nova]

i will be honest not really a truck guy but i don't mind the ram guy on the high way going 40 over the limit in the fast lane leading the charge

[fickle hill]

When the roads are icy I will take that over me getting into a crash

I love trucks just because of the bed and the ability to tow large trailers

[charred nova]

that is fair

its the one bummer of cars like the STI

like its got enough power to tow another car but the frame isn't strong enough

[fickle hill]

Cars will have under a 2 liter engine SUVs and cross overs will have a 1.5 liter - a 3 liter and pickups will have the range of 2 liter - 5.7 liter engine

[charred nova]

i wouldn't say all cars

[fickle hill]

Yeah those can range

Leave it to backyard bob

[charred nova]

id up it to like 2.5l

but beyond that yah your mostly right

[fickle hill]

I only taken a guess on some of them because my sisters infinity is a 1.7 liter garbage while the boyfriends trailblazer is a 3 liter if I recall

[charred nova]

yah i mean luxury cars tend to have bigger engines

[fickle hill]

I noticed that as well

[charred nova]

make worlds best engine ever

never sell it with a manual

i hate luxury cars

[fickle hill]

My owners manual is in the entertainment screen and that lacks details

[charred nova]

i mean modern car manuals are really funny

there like if you wanted to do this maybe you could but

YOUR PROBABLY AN IDIOT

SO YOU SHOULD COME TO THE DEALERSHIP

PLEASE COME TO THE DEALERSHIP

IM BEGGING PLEASE COME

[warped stream]

The dealership rules all

[charred nova]

average car manual really written like that

[marble gyro]

Ready to pass out....so full

[warped stream]

Just remember if you have some nuts and bolts left over you just rebuilt it better than the manufacturer

[fickle hill]

Yep When I was grabbing the 23 they didn't try to put it back on warrenty the guy that does the financing option just said to me and my father "Do it yourself bro"

[charred nova]

thats unusual

[fickle hill]

My father did this for 30 years this scares him

Even for tire the man is scared of "Extra parts"

[charred nova]

i mean you should be

[fickle hill]

The dude was based as hell old and was trying to rebuild an old Ford muscle car

From scraps

[marble gyro]

If a stalker movie was to be made, which actor would you choose to play as Skif, strelok, scar and deg

[charred nova]

a stalker movie was made

wendigoon made one

[marble gyro]

An official one I mean, like Hollywood

[fickle hill]

Ew hollywood

[barren ginkgo]

Alright so strelok is a pos in stalker 2

[marble gyro]

Or Idunno, any video company

[barren ginkgo]

Cuz he’s oozing charisma and he’s dope asf

And as we all discussed before I should be following ward to make sure skif doesn’t get screwed completely

[fickle hill]

Independence Marky has already proven this

[barren ginkgo]

But strelok is sick asf in the opening scene when you meet him

He said he just wants the zone to be left alone completely

[robust pendant]

What happened to strelok in s2 to make him stay there and leave the zone alone

He wanted to go with the militia at the end of cop

[barren ginkgo]

I never got to finish cop

[marble gyro]

Who???

[shell flax]

He didn’t stay at first, he left with them and became an advisor to SIRCCA

[barren ginkgo]

Got far just not finish

[fickle hill]

Markiplier

[barren ginkgo]

But basically what I’m asking is no matter how cool strelok is don’t go with his ending right

He’s gonna phuck skif

[robust pendant]

But like, why

[shell flax]

Why did he become a scientific advisor like it said he did in CoP?

[marble gyro]

Okay and?

[robust pendant]

I mean like, why or how did he go from scientist advisor to being someone that now loves the zone

[marble gyro]

Damn yall don't have any favorite actors you would like to see play as those 4 I mentioned?

[barren ginkgo]

Also isn’t the shining zone just you being brain dead. Isn’t that what the zombies see while they’re zombies and brain dead ?

[marble gyro]

Lame

[robust pendant]

Could be anyone really, idk

[shell flax]

His botched brainwashing left more damage than we thought. He started getting massive headaches, found out what the Ward wanted to do with the zone, tried to sabotage X-11, failed, fled back into his old hideout and just started spiraling

[robust pendant]

I dont think anyone of them have such a specific personality that only one actor can represent

[robust pendant]

Ok that kinda makes sense then. Thanks

[fickle hill]

💀

[shell flax]

Hell, you can find a PDA in his hideout that is him essentially writing his motivations down and genuinely scared he was losing his memory again

[robust pendant]

He went cray cray

[barren ginkgo]

Should I help strelok or finish the job for the doctor?

[shell flax]

I mean, after that botched mind touching and just all the shit he went through? Yeah I’m surprised he’s coherent at all

[barren ginkgo]

I’m in convo with strelok rn got the option to ask him if he needs help or tell him I gotta finish docs job

[shell flax]

Don’t matter either way really

[barren ginkgo]

Which is better I guess

Don’t care about spoilers

[shell flax]

I’d say help doc then

It’s not a ‘major’ choice

[barren ginkgo]

Alright then which ones gonna yield more coupons

I’m assuming helping strelok he’ll gimme coupons and docs gonna too which is more if it’s not a major choice

[shell flax]

No idea, I always choose doc because Strelok is the embodiment of the worst of the Loners

[still current]

Doesn't matter really

[barren ginkgo]

Why is he the worst

[still current]

If you want loot, then the Ward will be best

[still current]

The zone mushed up his mind and made him just slightly less delulu than scar

[shell flax]

Also Strelok has a vast track record of betraying people he works with

He’s The Loner but he’s their worst traits taken to the extreme

Also he’s an asshole so fùck em

[still current]

He wasn't exactly that tho, it's S2 lore twist ig

[main jewel]

i mean he also betrayed skif by not letting him leave the zone i know skif never knew that strelok was gunna lock everyone in

[shell flax]

No, he’s always been an asshole

[still current]

Murked one

[barren ginkgo]

Yea I just read some shit online

Ward ending sounds ass for skif compared to strelok ending

Strelok just locks him in the zone he’s still alive and not Brain washed

[still current]

Nope

[barren ginkgo]

Or zombified

[still current]

Ward ending still offered him a way out

An end

[shell flax]

He’s locked in a cell to starve to death essentially in Strelok’s ending what

[main jewel]

skif doesnt get no apartment

[still current]

But strelok locked him in

[barren ginkgo]

He’s either loving an illusion or he’s a brainwashed agent

[still current]

Literally the worst

[fickle hill]

A new home

[still current]

Yeah

[shell flax]

Agents aren’t monolithians, they still have free will

[still current]

And an ending

He chose to stick around

Literally

[barren ginkgo]

What’s the other ending the project whatever ending ?

[still current]

At least he had a choice at the end

[shell flax]

Locked in a tube for eternity

[barren ginkgo]

Yea no phuck the tube lmao

[still current]

He decided that. Agatha told him that his new home was arranged and he can go, but he kinda wanted to see it all through on his end

The skif ending is taking over the zone through the pod

Probably the goodest ending but not so good to the physical skif

[barren ginkgo]

I’d rather live endlessly in the zone 🤷‍♂️ shoot shit make money collect cool gizmos

Eat some fleshes

[still current]

Well, he kinda made the sacrifice

To free the zone

[barren ginkgo]

I’m heavily debating strelok ending vs ward ending

[still current]

Unlike strelok who said he wanted to free it but in the end he sought control and dominance rather than that

[shell flax]

You won’t though, bro. There’s no more supplies coming in, mutants couldn’t repopulate fast enough. It’s a slow, painful death.

[barren ginkgo]

And you guys are my deciding factor I enjoy the live replies with personalized opinions

[still current]

The only ending that might have continuity is strelok's ending

[barren ginkgo]

Yea but how long would that take genuinely ? There’s boars fleshes a ridiculous amount of canned food

Endless bullets

I see plenty of supplies

The only thing in the zone that would go quickly and be very hard to replenish would be water

[shell flax]

‘Endless’
Bullets degrade, your gear couldn’t be repaired in like a week, no clean water coming in. No more supplies for anti rad or to brew Vodka, radiation would kill you before you run out of bullets.

[barren ginkgo]

Alright lemme stop you there

[shell flax]

If you say farming I’m corrupting your OS

[barren ginkgo]

Seen a video of some guys finding some extremely old Soviet ammo sunken in a swamp or lake or whatever. They opened the stuff up and the ammo was completely fine. Further more there’s a guy that lets bullets sit in PB BLASTED a literal oil penetrator for like 6 months on YouTube he takes em out and they work just fine

Bullets don’t degrade like you think

[barren ginkgo]

Farming would be objectively worse than eating animals there the crops would be so fouled by radiation it wouldn’t be good

[shell flax]

Those bullets also aren’t exposed to Emissions, anomalies, intense radiation

[barren ginkgo]

Radiation does absolutely nothing to gun powder

Ur safe inside a building from emission safe to say bullets would be too

[shell flax]

Yes it can, what the radiation in the zone gets to the level it can kill a grown man in seconds

[barren ginkgo]

You know they use intense radiation in TWINKIES right? To sterilize em? Bullets are metal. They’d be fine

[barren ginkgo]

Radiation would not effect bullets man

[lost needle]

Really? Skifs seems more fitting though

[barren ginkgo]

Based on available physics, radiation cannot realistically make bullets "inert" (functionless) in a tactical scenario, as it would require levels of radiation so extreme that they would kill the user before affecting the ammunition.
Here is the breakdown of how radiation and bullets interact:
Gunpowder Inactivity: While extremely high-energy radiation (such as in a nuclear reactor) can theoretically damage materials, it cannot reliably neutralize the chemical compounds (gunpowder/propellant) inside a sealed brass cartridge at a distance.

Meaning even IN that scenario it wouldn’t matter you’d be dead before u even needed the bullets to work for you

[lost needle]

Strelok closes the zone off and basically kills everyone in it

[barren ginkgo]

I mean that does save the world 🤷‍♂️ I’m all about heroes sacrifice

[lost needle]

Save the world? So does korsh if were going like that

[barren ginkgo]

Right right

[lost needle]

Skifs has the best topic for a 4th game, with the whole world being nuked and all

[barren ginkgo]

Ward it is still then lol and there’s is no ending where deggy gets phucked so I’m really only making sure skif has some sorta reasonable outcome

[lost needle]

Love how deggy just does not die

Actually hes dead in scars ending

[barren ginkgo]

To me he’s probably more bad ass than any of the other guys

Homie had spec ops experience before the zone homie friggin solo stealth infiltrates the zone and fights and kills everything that comes his way and then created his own faction of spec ops guys to guard Pripyat

He’s an operator detective guardian and leader all wrapped up into one dudes sick asf

[lost needle]

I wish we couldve interacted with him after the control center

Shame we just get a "hes roaming around pripyat ig"

[barren ginkgo]

Honestly seems everyone around skif gets killed or something bad happens it’s probably best we stay away from him lmao

[barren ginkgo]

He gets promoted to colonel he gets out of the zone

[lost needle]

Yeah but thats in CoP

[main jewel]

but scars ending aint canon

deggy for stalker 3

[lost needle]

Scars ending cant be cannon

[main jewel]

it never will be

[lost needle]

If stalker 3 gets cancelled we just call korshs ending cannon

[main jewel]

true

but skif ending is foreseeable th canon one

[lost needle]

Yeah

[main jewel]

as it leaves on a cliffhanger type deal

no skif

[lost needle]

I actually like it tbh

[main jewel]

OOO I WONDER IF WE PLAY AS DEGGY AGAIN

[main jewel]

the song and everything

[lost needle]

EVERYBODY dies except for deggy

[lost needle]

The doctor scene got me theorising for so long

The longer i play it the more i love the story

[nova quartz]

Or the ward ending as it opens the possibility of the future games being about taking back the zone from the ward where we have to choose between joining Spark or Freedom against the ward and/or Duty perhaps.

[lost needle]

There is no zone to take back, its gone in the ward ending

[nova quartz]

Lexa said it only destroyed the subtle matter

[lost needle]

..and everything in it

All thats left are the mutants and remnants of the group

[main jewel]

it basically destroys the zone and people say everyone gets turned into walking cameras

mass surveillance

and thats due to the ward ending showing screens of peoples povs

it shows skif

an outside area

[nova quartz]

Their just IRL streaming

[lost needle]

You can either nuke the whole world, trap everyone in the zone, zombify everyone in the zone or become basically 1984

[main jewel]

a persons pov in a living room

so this goes outside the zone too

[nova quartz]

It's everyone from.the original Stalker program. Skif was likely programmed when we first met Strelok when Dark did the whole demonic possession thing.

[lost needle]

I wonder if the dlc will give us insight into the possibly cannon ending

[nova quartz]

They even said when talking to the Col. Korshkov that many members of the stalker program are outside the zone

Right after you do the troposphere mission if you ally with the ward

[lost needle]

Being programmed into a STALKER is a very specific thing that happened specifically at the gens

[nova quartz]

Just like how there are Monolithians outside the zone which is why Monolithians are equipped with top of the line gear.

[lost needle]

Plus, if skif DID get programmed into a stalker, what would his task even be?

[nova quartz]

Correct but Strelok said that the reason Dark went all wacko is because he saw the same programming again, which they cannot survive, thus it is possible we were programmed at the same time, otherwise that whole scene doesn't make sense.

[main jewel]

ouuh well the ward is gunna use those guys so

[lost needle]

Dude what? Dark spazzed out because he saw the same thing that turned him into a stalker, skif isnt a stalker agent so he wasnt affected

[nova quartz]

Indeed. But so is Strelok in order to help eliminate anyone who tries to harm the zone as stated in some of the journals you find of his

[main jewel]

i better not see any fucking stalker 3 leaks to be outside the zone

your just removing the stalk from er

[shell flax]

If we get S3 leaks already, GSC security is just gonna start executing people

[nova quartz]

I hope not. But I do think the devs made this ending a little too narrow for future canon entries.

[main jewel]

true

[shell flax]

Like, straight up Makarov to the face

[main jewel]

i dunno man faust going blah blah blah a matter of time and walking off we get a question of HOWWWWWW DIDIDIOIIIDID FAUUSSTT DO THATTTT which could be a dlc thing but also deggy doesnt die

[lost needle]

If i get my hands on ANY stalker 3 or DLC leaks i WILL get a pipebomb in my mailbox

[main jewel]

deggy is the only trilogy main character that isn’t dead

[stark valley]

so is a stalker 2 dlc ever comming?

[shell flax]

Dragged off to the GSC execution basement

[lost needle]

Deggy doesnt die is the icing on the cake here

[shell flax]

Yes, this year

[stark valley]

fr?

[shell flax]

Yes

[lost needle]

Why did gsc not lower the upgrade prices i dont wanna pay 60 bucks for ultimate 💔💔

Imbrokeashellbro

[robust pendant]

probably

[main jewel]

deggy just gets punched and thrown enough to be knocked out

[shell flax]

Nope, GSC confirmed it in an interview

[main jewel]

bro 60 bucks is the price for around the base game

suck it up

suckksss

[robust pendant]

Yeah, the game was also confirmed to be great in an interview and have great alife before launch

[main jewel]

and dlcs

[lost needle]

I didnt pay 60 bucks for the game my dad gifted it to me 🤑

[main jewel]

ult has free dlc accesses

[main jewel]

oh

[stark valley]

alife 2.0 💀

[robust pendant]

I mean, it does have it now technically, it didnt at launch

[main jewel]

alife is still being worked on to be better

[stark valley]

ngl i havent played stalker 2 in a while rn im trying gamma out

[robust pendant]

Another one lost to gamma......

[lost needle]

It will be worth it to uograde to ult cause im forseeing the dlcs will be 25 bucks each

[main jewel]

stop hating on gsc cause they are the only devs i see actually working with the community

[stark valley]

cheeki breki IV damkie

[robust pendant]

I will hate them for trying to make you pay 60$ on launch for a game that wasnt, or more with the upgrade packs

[main jewel]

yus

[main jewel]

well they were kinda forced too with microsoft and the community begging gsc, and dont blame gsc for russians burning gsc hq plus the physically data server room in the hq and cyber attacks.. (yes gsc did cancel the ru voiceover but thats no reason to cause harm to anyone)

[stark valley]

we still need a ru voiceover tho ngl

[main jewel]

like gsc was quite in a pickle

[shell flax]

Not happening lmao

[robust pendant]

Nah, I don't care with the "forced by microsoft" thing, I don't even believe it.
And then again, I dont blame them for that.
I blame them for what they ended up doing

I know the difficulties, Im fully aware.
Doesnt justify the price for such launch

[main jewel]

gsc needed the money dude

[stark valley]

ik some ppl making a custom mod with ppl doing a voiceover ive seen some clips its quite accurate

[robust pendant]

Its cool that now its almost always on sale

[robust pendant]

I can dislike the decisions still

[marble gyro]

You are entitled to your own opinion

[main jewel]

but its kinda scummy to dislike them given the situation

or the choice

[lost needle]

I really like how gsc and arrowhead interact with their communities

[stark valley]

i can smell the dlc being the Sin faction ngl

[main jewel]

its the cnpp bro

[lost needle]

This dude is HIIIGGGHHH on the gamma fumes

[stark valley]

cnpp can wait we need sin

[main jewel]

the sin faction will never come to stalker

[robust pendant]

Im pretty sure that they would've gotten great money if it was at 40$ instead, but those who wanted to support could pay more.
Its not scummy to dislike what they did, its my right as a costumer

[main jewel]

its cut

[stark valley]

it will just wait

[main jewel]

and will forever be cut

infact the sin faction was just a place holder

[stark valley]

we gonna sow it up with heavy armor repair kit

[robust pendant]

I had a stroke at the last word lol

[lost needle]

I like the cut ideas of freedom and duty splinter groups

[main jewel]

i guess bro

[stark valley]

cnpp is overated we need Sin faction instead

[main jewel]

NO WE DONTTT

❌

[lost needle]

Somebody castrate this guy

Erase him

[stark valley]

give them an full exoskeleton that take 25 ap rounds or 5 gaus shells (stalker 2 master difficulty acurate)

all headshoots asw

[lost needle]

Dude has NOT played master

[main jewel]

the gamma injections are getting to him

[stark valley]

on master its still 7 with ap to monolith exo

💔

[main jewel]

test subject 196 has failed

[lost needle]

Bro just lying 😭😭🥹

[stark valley]

i was using skifs pistol heh

[main jewel]

immediate termination

[lost needle]

Yeah it actually takes 67 headshots with as val to take down a naked stalker

[main jewel]

why are you using skifs pistol on master

[lost needle]

I would know i 100 percented stalker 2

[stark valley]

lore acurate

[lost needle]

Because its awesome?

Only other secondary i used was the rhino cuz its super strong

[stark valley]

but lets b real chimera hp fine just a bit to high but pseudogiant 💀

[lost needle]

You can take them both down pretty easily

[main jewel]

well its bad, labyrinth iv is kaimanovs pistol and it has a damage buff

[robust pendant]

They are a gamma player.......

[stark valley]

pseudogiant schould still not take 200 bullets

[main jewel]

and a engraving

but i get it early through a mod

[lost needle]

You have a spas 12 for that

[lost needle]

I love how the labyrinth IV looks so much

[main jewel]

saiga wif expanding rounds

[stark valley]

we are NOT using that

[main jewel]

yessss

[lost needle]

This dude has to be ragebaiting

[stark valley]

pumps are to op WE only using assault rifles

[main jewel]

UHHHH WHOS WE BEO

BRO

TS JUST YOU GANG

[stark valley]

oh mb mb i meant US ALL

[lost needle]

NOBODY relates to this dude

[mystic temple]

Monolith

[main jewel]

his brain is gamma

[stark valley]

bro i stood under brain scorcher for to long

[main jewel]

gamma users

[lost needle]

He calls gamma and true stalker the best mods and gamma > stalker2

[main jewel]

well gamma is better than stalker 2

do we realize stalker 2 is buns

[lost needle]

Gamma is what stalker2 fails to be...

[main jewel]

but i am investing in stalker 2

so

[lost needle]

nahuh

[main jewel]

stalker 2 will be better soon

[stark valley]

stalker 2 final fight against monolith granit squad is just a meatgrinder ngl

[main jewel]

who even actually plays the ending

💔

[marble gyro]

Gamma is also not official

[stark valley]

4 or so gauss rifle snipers and like 10 exo grunts 💔

[main jewel]

gamma is a MOD

💔

[stark valley]

yo yo what if gcs recruits grok for stalker 2

[lost needle]

Out of ALL the comments you pick mine 💔

[marble gyro]

So we shouldn't base our comparison on a mod

[main jewel]

grok hates stalker 2 cause grok actually has to create something new to mod it

[nova quartz]

Lol. I just watched a zombie take himself out on a chair... Dude literally walked forward and then got faceplanted when he glitched out walking into a chair and just died...

[main jewel]

not stitch mods together and make them work

[nova quartz]

GrOk Is ThIs TrUe

[marble gyro]

Also I am eating and playing nioh 3, I come back whenever

[lost needle]

Isnt grok like a massive asshole

[main jewel]

this bro this

[stark valley]

i mean he is chill if u ask him for advice in dms

[main jewel]

and i dont see any credit for the mods that are used in the mod pack

[nova quartz]

He's is also mecha Hitler apparently.

[stark valley]

500 credits scence 💔

[main jewel]

theres a credits scene

[shell flax]

It’s in the mod loader itself

[main jewel]

when did grok put that in 💔

[lost needle]

Ive always liked stalker 2 more than gamma

[shell flax]

A long ass time ago

[main jewel]

but grok hates stalker 2

[lost needle]

Even on release

[main jewel]

he tried modding

but his mod is like heavily outdated

and doesnt work

i dont even think it did work

[shell flax]

His mods still exist but they’re so hilariously outdated they straight brick your run

[main jewel]

true

[lost needle]

Lmfao

[main jewel]

lethally outdated

[shell flax]

I don’t know enough about the guy to really form an opinion on him though

[main jewel]

and i pray to never see a stalker gamma 2

[stark valley]

stalker 2 wouldve been better on the old engine and not the new fancy one

[main jewel]

oxide better not give grok perms to use his mod

[lost needle]

When we get better mod tools its only a matter of time unfortunately

[stark valley]

which mod is tht

[main jewel]

theres gunna be a even newer engine soon

[lost needle]

OXA

[marble gyro]

Modders are actually waiting for the game to have a sufficient foundation to add a gamma 2 like mod

[lost needle]

Unreal 5.6?

[marble gyro]

They need some assets to be stable first before they dish out a gamma 2

[stark valley]

oh god pls no ''may the monolith reveal gcs cunning planns to us his loyal children oh monolith''

[shell flax]

5.5.4, maybe 5.6 if they can swing it

[lost needle]

Ah

[marble gyro]

Engine 5.56

[lost needle]

Let em take their time, im enjoying my 12th playthru

[stark valley]

ngl monolith faction schould have better exo suits they arent tanky sadly

[lost needle]

They lit have the strongest exo

[shell flax]

ok now i know you’re just talking out of your ass

[lost needle]

Do you want fallout power armor?

[stark valley]

no monolith needs better exos

also give monolith artifacts while you're at it

[lost needle]

Just walking around the generators and see a monolithian in t51b power armor

[stark valley]

give every monolithian ap bullets

[shell flax]

Power armor has no place in the zone

[stark valley]

bro buff monolith they to weak

[lost needle]

Actually just make the monolithians invincible

[marble gyro]

Why does monolith need better exos???

[lost needle]

And make them brick your save when they kill you

[stark valley]

''we stand in unison with our great Monolith may he guide us lost children reveal the cunning plans of our enemys to us oh great Monolith''

[main jewel]

oxa, it adds sights n gives people freedom to put whatever attachments on whatever, it adds new meds, repair kits, armors, pounches and boots and stuff that work like artifiacts that make you run faster or have better stamina and reload time, you can have attachment systems like switching barrels, it even adds new guns like recently the glock

heres a bunch of random screenshots
this mod gets constantly worked on too so more stuff every month or 2

[lost needle]

Get shot by a gauss rifle and then your oc bluescreens

[stark valley]

because monolith is just great

[main jewel]

i love advertising oxa

this is prototype

[stark valley]

ngl buff monolith

[main jewel]

standard has all attachments

and freedom of attachments

and some new guns

n stuff

[stark valley]

u mean a future graft of stalker 2 gamma

[main jewel]

like modernized ak

[lost needle]

END this dude

Execute him

[stark valley]

our union with the monolith is eternal join us brother

[main jewel]

grok isnt gunna touch stalkr 2 and i hope oxide never allows his mod to be used

[stark valley]

ngl monolith is the best faction

WE ALL glazing monolith yea no WE

[main jewel]

bin

[marble gyro]

You are smoking anomalies to think that specifically the glass ones

[lost needle]

Hes too many saves deep into gamma

[stark valley]

u are lost brother join the monolith and he may guide you

[main jewel]

his name is now bin not bini

[marble gyro]

Like Bin juice?

[stark valley]

can i be named nr 1 monolith glazer

[shell flax]

Gamma & anomaly have done irreversible damage to what the Monolith Faction actually is

[marble gyro]

Gamma is actually pretty mid imo

[main jewel]

as a mod we arent supposed to change your name to something you ask for

[main jewel]

i like its guns and stuff

gamma is good if your looking for that experience

and i did

and it did me well

[stark valley]

ngl gamma with stalker 2 story would be good so combine it and make stalker 2 gamma

[main jewel]

but stalker 2 has my eyeballs on it

[marble gyro]

A sandbox sure, but every other asset in it asides from an arsenal not necessarily needed

[main jewel]

you should put the gamma tag on your profile

[lost needle]

I hate gamma progression

[stark valley]

gamma will eventually take over stalker 2 just give it some time

[main jewel]

yess!!

[lost needle]

Im ashamed that i used to display it smh

[stark valley]

no im looking for a monolith tag

[shell flax]

I’d genuinely eat both barrels of a DP-12 if we get a gamma mod this early into the SDK

[lost needle]

WE will be doing ts

[main jewel]

no server is gunna have a mono tag unless you find a music server

[stark valley]

@main jewel so when WE buffing monolith come on i know u want it so do it do it do it do it

give us monolithians ap bullets better exos and artifacts

[marble gyro]

Or a server full of monotone people

[lost needle]

Make the exos have 7 bars of phys defense

[stark valley]

also give us aimbot while we are at it

[marble gyro]

HELL TO THE NO

[stark valley]

give every monolithian the artifact that scar has and streloks movement

[main jewel]

well the monolith are actually pretty powerful as it is

[stark valley]

no to weak

[lost needle]

Make our crosshair stray away from the monolithians while aiming

[main jewel]

they over power every npc in a 1v1

[marble gyro]

Monolith have guns and tech, they are the irradiated psychotic version of Brother hood of steel

[stark valley]

make monolithians be able to use a gauss rifle and a saiga 12 at the same time

also headshot immunity

[lost needle]

...so theyre the enclave

[marble gyro]

Enclave is more so Freedom

[lost needle]

What?!

[marble gyro]

These dudes are just Outcasts

[stark valley]

the dlc is Sin faction i know it and i smell it

[shell flax]

The Enclave is the Ward what

[lost needle]

Enclave are superduperevildudes who want to wipe out all life on the wasteland so they can inherit it

[stark valley]

anyone got any game recommendations simmilar to the stalker series? i alr played the metro series

[lost needle]

Play fallout ig

[marble gyro]

Nioh 3

[shell flax]

I enjoy the Wards storyline but yeah, they want the Zone done & dusted

[lost needle]

Im trying to do a vanilla fo4 playthrough

Which in my 200 hours ive apparently never done

[marble gyro]

I have fallout 4 and shamefully bought the anniversary edition like the Bethesda shill I am

[lost needle]

Lmao

[stark valley]

ima go to sleep now cya guys

[lost needle]

May your pillow be fiery hot

[main jewel]

finally

[light rover]

@tardy rain Your discord link on your nexus page is broken. Didn't know how else to reach you to notify ya

[barren ginkgo]

Can someone explain why the ward guys are attacking me when I’m at the dangerous liaisons mission?

I showed my ward pass why in tf r they shooting at me ? I’m with THEM

[shell flax]

Story thing, you’ll get a final choice afterwards

[pallid nest]

its not broken, it links to the GAMMA server

were you blocked/banned?

[marble gyro]

Early night, have to wake up at 4am in the morning for work

Goodnight stalkers

[weary geode]

why does this game lag so bad in interiors?

its not my pc its the game and idk how to fix it

[barren ginkgo]

Richters a phuckin idiot

[frigid hill]

drakesinister has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[barren ginkgo]

He’d be happy if I had sided with spark or pretty much anybody else

What a retard

[long kettle]

@hybrid spoke we should fight and see who wins the title of john stalker

[violet dune]

Jason Wick Bourne 47

[crude hawk]

I wonder when they gonna sort out the monolith mod for Xbox?

[light rover]

I've never even been there, like EVER

[pallid nest]

weird

but his discord link is correct but I dont know whats going on

[light rover]

Yeah it just doesn't open to the server when I have discord app open. Would you kindly PM me the gamma server link?

[pallid nest]

it does not allow me to. Server is not a option

[frigid hill]

d1z4str has been warned

Reason: Posted an invite

[pallid nest]

oops cant do that

[light rover]

Alright I guess I'll just need to find a link lmao

[pallid nest]

sent

[robust pendant]

maybe try in #❔┃seeking-for-advice or submit a report and contact gsc directly in here #s2-support

[light rover]

Appreciate the assist! Now to keep testing O.X.A Prototype (omg is it so complex)

[main jewel]

can you show me the 3 dovetail scopes that were added if possible

these guys were added i think

but i wanna see them and their reticles cause im curious

[light rover]

Sure let me just relog into the game cuz the game likes to crash if I double click something in my inventory. It's so annoying, I hope GSC fixes it

[main jewel]

WHATTT and okiii thank u

[light rover]

It's a keyboard and mouse issue

Also idk if I have permission to post photos in this chat, it might collapse it and just have a string of data/code or w/e. I could PM it to you, with your consent, if that occurs

[main jewel]

oxide probably named them so mainly i wanna see (left to right dovetail mount only)
1p78
1p63 obzor
and im
not sure what the last one is

and okaayyy you can pm me

anyone can pm me

im a mod

[pine obsidian]

It would be really cool if Oxide, down the line, would incorporate the ability to have canted red dots. I personally would love that especially sense it's hard to see the laser you're using during the day.

[whole fern]

If I turn off the music will that also turn off the ambient sound effects like the scream and animal noises from the original games

[pine obsidian]

Don't know. Have you tried?

[barren ginkgo]

So the point of no return is gonna be a big thing across my screen?

Cuz I’m at down below mission and korsch just said if I have any scores to settle now’s the time to do it

Does that mean I should go screw around and get everything I want before I do this mission or is it gonna be a big warning across the screen

[burnt bridge]

No

[marble gyro]

Can't sleep, nightmares

[light rover]

Back into the zone you go then :3

[stark crescent]

you know something that always bothered me?

when you pick up guns, and they stack, you lose the ability to unload them. and from its release, till this day, devs still didnt fix that

[sonic plover]

mostly everyone here uses genuine punctuation and it melts my brain cuz it's not something I'm used to

[stark crescent]

wut ye mean, guv?

wait

wutyemeanguvwhoereneedspunctuationhahahah

[dusky pawn]

I feel like this is the only game where canted red dots serve zero purpose

When it was pointed out to me ive realised the game really is super blurry
And the blur+75m bubble+red dot sway really make red dots absolutely pointless
Acog and pso are what 4x ? And they have decent fovs so they are still effective even at 10m and below that there is no need for a laser go guess where the center of the screen is

And the sway makes red dots a really unnatractive option to me id rather they just change that

[stark crescent]

remember when stalker 2 came out and people complained the nights wernt dark enough? and now we got nvg's, and the night still arnt dark enough? those were good times...

im doing that quest on a new playthrough where you unlock nvg's. the first gen might be first gen, but it sucks because not using it is more useful than using it

[dusky pawn]

What

[stark crescent]

could you clarify which part confused you?

[dusky pawn]

Yeah I should have
I find the nights decently dark and nvgs really help but i havent tried gen1 so it might be a gen1 specific issue
Whats weirder is flashlight makes so much glare when on in the night that it makes it harder to see

[dreamy dagger]

Day 445 of GSC money begging before they shown what they'll offer...

[kindred fable]

Yeah, I also wish the nights were darker

[stark crescent]

see? he gets it

[dusky pawn]

Im just glad they arent metro levels of bright i guess

[stark crescent]

would be weird if you could see in a metro like if the moon was out. cause its underground

[proven hollow]

and you will pay them

[deft coral]

Idk i can't see anything with my flashlight

[proven hollow]

i think the nights are dark enough when it's cloud/raining, but a little too light when its clear

[proven hollow]

btw krezzin we found out you're also stalking twitter posts with this can you please relax

[stark crescent]

and until gsc releases the physical edition instead of stalling it every GODDAMN TIME!!!! i will not pay another dime

[dusky pawn]

you can tho thats the issue

[severe silo]

Hello there

[dusky pawn]

also half of the games are on the ground honestly but still stalker (to me) is maybe just a touch too bright in some cases but its not worth complaining about to me because ive played games like metro where its daylight at night in a tunnel lol

[still current]

Well,a new story maybe, but skif? No

[dusky pawn]

well skif's story obviously wont continue
but it does have continuity cause now they can set a game in any zone

[glossy dagger]

Does anyone know whether recoil recovery or aiming accuracy upgrades are more beneficial for the SVU?

[dusky pawn]

probably recoil recovery honestly because svu has a high firerate

[glossy dagger]

thank you!

[lost needle]

How so?

[dreamy dagger]

Was it Mozi who you figured out through?

[dreamy dagger]

Wait I forgot they said February 2026. Let's see what'll [not] happen!

[blazing ingot]

[proven hollow]

can't believe they delayed the entire engine update just so mol1t could go on vacation though

[carmine star]

No guys just another $100 ok, come on do you guys not have wallets???

[dusky pawn]

Ok so I found out something really interesting and idk if this is scripted or a bug or coincidence @main jewel #📸┃screens_and_videos

[oblique igloo]

well it could also be that he must be on holiday too, of course this silence is a bit unnerving, we don't know anything more

[glossy dagger]

the cavalier unique weapon is bugged or something? nothing is dropping when i break the planks that are supposed to hold it

in duga military unit

[lost needle]

Might be stuck on the vents, try throwing a granade or sumthn

[carmine star]

or reload

[glossy dagger]

alright, thank you!

[hoary crest]

Nothing says its gonna be a continuation of the current story as far as I know?

Could just work like DLC in a BGS game where its essentially an elaborate sidequest

[golden gulch]

Oh great moderators from where I definitely I have no idea of, when will the patch come out

[robust pendant]

No one knows

[regal plume]

im sorry but

do yall know how to change disc on computer

like the desktop

[carmine star]

Like putting you OS on another drive ?

[regal plume]

yes

my ahh had desktop od disc c

where it dont have any place to download

[spring kite]

Guys I just got the game and Im doing the settings at the beginning, Do you think its better to have the voicover not be english and have english subs or just use english

[dusky pawn]

the english dub is pretty good you can go with it if you want

[spring kite]

ok also whats the difference between veteran and stalker

And if Im playing this for the first time which do u recommend

[dusky pawn]

higher difficulties increase damage taken and reduce the ammount of money you gain while increasing your spendings

they also increase health of enemies
for first time probably just stalker unless you are good at fps games then veteran master is just pain for someone new

[spring kite]

k

[carmine star]

Ukraine voice over with English subtitles, otherwise the zone sounds like its been overun by Govnors

[robust pendant]

By jolly, gov'na!

[iron wind]

go with Ukr voice and Eng sub, its better

[dusky pawn]

It'd be weird if they had us accents

[mystic temple]

Yeah anything other than a slav language sounds weird

[cinder bluff]

Does anyone here have any experience with the OXA Expanded Armory mod?

[hoary crest]

Sort of, I use OXA Prototype

[cinder bluff]

AH yes I need to talk to you

[cinder bluff]

So I currently have the Standard version installed. I have been thinking about installing the prototype version due to a bug the standard version is causing. Can I do that in the same save safely?

[glossy dagger]

neither throwing grenades on the vent or reloading the save seemed to work

[cinder bluff]

The bug is the weird offset aiming glitch where you aim into infinity and have a hallucination it seems.

[glossy dagger]

nothing of value has been lost ig

[hoary crest]

Hmm... I don't know for sure, you can check in the mods hub and ask Oxide yourself, though I would generally advise against ripping mods out mid-playthrough that effect gameplay. Weather, landscape and such like mods are generally fine, but anything that effects gameplay, involves scripts, effects inventory or NPCs, probably not a good idea

You could probably do it if you really wanted to, but you'd risk items not spawning correctly or needing to chuck everything related to the weapons, including the weapons themselves and aquire replacements. As i said, you're better off talking to the author directly

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1399623509830795468

Ofc you could just start a new playthrough if you're not overly commited to the one you're on

Prototype is worth a new playthrough if im being honest

[cinder bluff]

Yahhhhh I figured… I know anything to do with assets is sketchy to mess around with.

[hoary crest]

Better safe than sorry innit. But hey if you're not playing for the story, start a new playthrough with this; https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1211

[cinder bluff]

But prototype is stable though?

[hoary crest]

I havent had any problems with it personally, not to say they don't exist, but for me its been fine

[cinder bluff]

Oh that’s a good idea

[hoary crest]

Ye, its good with Prototype that, I use it for permadeath runs. When I get clapped, swap out starting location and faction, start again

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1642 You'l probably want this also, better sleeping bag than the one provided in the fresh start mod

Make sure to use the "added to inventory" additional file

[untold timber]

how long did u guys wait for GSC support to report back on a technical issue ticket? Waiting 2 weeks so far...

[feral sigil]

Hello

[iron wind]

dm mol1t, but GSC been quite slow after the holidays, possibly due to blackouts in UA

[stark marsh]

You know the stalker is a threat when he just kicks the deagle with pure disrespect and goes on rampage with dual makarovs

[untold timber]

think he's on leave

[iron wind]

he was in chat one or two days ago

[thorn niche]

That what i did. I always play games /watch films in their native languages

[shell flax]

No? He’s been gone for a bit lmao

[iron wind]

like a week max?

maybe I am forgetting things

[cobalt fiber]

He’s on vacation for one more week

He’s been on vacay for 1 week

[still current]

the original announcement says

[hoary crest]

Oh it does? Fair enough

[stark marsh]

I know is kind of off topic

What kind of gun replica would You guys buy? And what kind? (Airsoft, gel blaster, soft bullet)

[main jewel]

prototype version requires a new playthrough

[shell flax]

Me saving up to buy an actual DP-12/Ram-2
(Airsoft personally)

[stark marsh]

Bro wanted to be a actual merc for [REDACTED]

Call me normie
Ill be getting a CM2011 soft bullet replica

Mock me, but at least i'm not a desert eagle glazer

[shell flax]

Deagles are range toys and I will die on that hill

i thought they were movie props

[covert silo]

stalkers, I'm on mi first master run. I just reached garbage, after dealing with the kingpins, to talk to Diode. All this time gathering loot and etc and I just realized, that all this killing is giving me no stashes to loot, I am just remembering from my previous runs. Is this a master thing: no stashes after kills?

I mean, I get the ones that are from tasks and etc, just not the random ones.

[hardy totem]

correct

[covert silo]

thank you

[marble gyro]

They VTO my entire group for super bowl sunday

[craggy raven]

I just got the Shah's mate. Is it suppose to just be worse than a normal viper (with the attachments)?

[thorn niche]

Its slightly better

Just slightly

[craggy raven]

How? I'd have to dump credits into it to get the same upgrades as my current viper. I'd gain nothing from what I can see.

[violet osprey]

Good afternoon everyone!

How are you all doing?

I have a question: Does S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 still have plans for an official content release, or is it already complete?

And will it now be up to the community?

[shell flax]

we had two DLCs confirmed before launch

They confirmed one is coming this year as well

[marble gyro]

Google is your friend

[main jewel]

google is free 💔

is bro tuff with the deleted user name

[violet osprey]

That's great!

I asked this question because I already bought the game and only tested it at the beginning, up until I reached the first "city/camp," so I waited until the game was complete to have the best experience.

[hollow sail]

Can Xavier be a stalker?

[mystic temple]

I love ur about me

[hollow sail]

Thank you man

HOLD ON.... Are you a KINO fan?

[past yacht]

[potent knot]
