So just read a long list and the accompishments of some Ukrainian atheletes the Russians killed and I just wanna say I’m terribly sorry I see everybody’s soreness

To loose that amount of talent and sport prowess especially from such young people it is a shame. Some were killed in combat which that shit just happens but the 17 year olds and the kids that just died in their homes after Russian shells hit it is a travesty in deed

Technically I heard a while back that using a .50 cal to shoot at PEOPLE is illegal u can use it for anti armor and to blast holes into bunkers but aiming and deliberately mowing down people with the M2 browning I thought was technically illegal

i liked DL:TB but, it became boring after the first playthrough. just isn't enough to do and it feels like such a DLC even though they claimed to have made it it's own game by adding to it.

actually maybe i shouldve said paintings

but

Dang

cause theres no actual set value for an artifact

primal nimbus

its just however much you wanna charge for it

Okay, I’ll make it be a job like ‘Grab this artifact and I’ll pay you ____ USD and a ticket out’.

Yet that is an arc, not the entire story itself given that our MC here has to also adjust to the mainland. So this job has to have flashback segments I guess.

I’m just saying it was bad decision making to decide to go to the zone to get a few glowy rocks to pay off a home when you coulda just went to a bank

#

Sure you’re in debt but at least you’re not risking death

shell oak

#

You continuing to say “he has nothing but his training” doesn’t change the fact he made a bad decision

shell oak
#

Not all but other vets become mercenaries. Why don’t you ask them to become a dish washer?

static lark
#

And it doesn’t take a finance degree to take out a loan for a house

shell oak
#

Exactly

shell oak
shell oak
# static lark With a job.

Right. Because regular jobs pay enough for a house down. Unless you have experience and a degree for a good job to pay down a loan on a house, you can’t. Go talk to other mercenary vets in real life how didn’t they simply get a job and a loan to buy a brand new home?

static lark
#

And why did you put quotation marks on loan

static lark
#

Yeah normal jobs pay enough to own a home, you might have a 30 year mortgage but yeah you can pay off a home

shell oak

I didn’t say that I said he could get a loan of which he pays off over several years with a job

static lark

#

The logic in expecting a grown man to be able to get a job and pay off debt isn’t there?

shell oak
#

Job of what? I said he has no prior experience. If he gets a loan he needs to max out the years to even have a chance to pay most of it. Like I said. Unless he gets a gets a decent job. You simply cannot get a massive loan to buy a home. Especially if you have bad record. Or no savings at all.

shell oak
static lark
#

Just saying he is a vet doesn’t mean anything, vets have experience, vets have training, there are several lines of work dude coulda went into

shell flax
#

You’re also assuming he’d even get the loan. A man’s apartment suddenly burns down & he comes asking for a loan? He’d probably get laughed out of the building

static lark
shell flax
#

Because it looks suspicious as hell smile_degtyarev

shell oak
static lark
#

Why would the bank who’s entire business is giving people money to then expect them to pay you back with interest turn down a guy who’s obviously desperate and in need of money

shell flax
#

Because they might assume he can’t pay them back? Or even assume he burned his own house down? Getting a loan isnt just ‘ask, instantly approved’

#

And considering Skif says ‘I have nothing left to go back to, Hermann’ it’s pretty easy to assume he has, like he said, nothing

shell oak
shell flax
#

Hell, Skif said no one was there when he came back. That apartment probably was all his savings

shell oak
shell flax
#

Another thing is Skif’s diary says he essentially just smoked & watched TV, he had no job or anything to begin with

shell oak
#

And all of the savings he had when active in the military was probably spent on his apartment. He should have worked in the military more. He literally had nothing to go back to. He should have worked up in the ranks. But probably couldn’t because of his mental health.

‘Worked in the military more’
smile_degtyarev that’s not how it works brother

shell oak
shell flax
#

His contract probably ran out and, if he’s this bitter after 3 years in active war according to himself he honestly probably wanted to GTFO immediately

Hell, Skif himself says whatever he saw in the war Was worse then the Zone

Skif can’t be that ugly.

shell flax

smile_degtyarev the guy is volatile & willing to kill dozens if not hundreds of people

No info, we just know he was a war vet thanks to some new dialogue

i mean

#

think about it

marble gyro
#

Ohh

main jewel
#

a 2.0 update would be an engine upgrade

obtuse veldt
#

ye

main jewel
#

it just makes so much sense

#

2.1 dlc

marble gyro
#

2.0 is an overhaul like cyberpunk

main jewel
#

cause the dlc teasers use new engine stuff

obtuse veldt
#

Maybe something when the whole DLC areas are out

marble gyro
#

2.1 is dlc also like cyberpunk aka phantom liberty

main jewel
#

brodie

#

think of all the mods that have to update

obtuse veldt

Kogorod, Western Prypiat, Lymansk, Cold Island

marble gyro

Mods will be busted

main jewel
obtuse veldt
#

Oh boi, modding scene gonna be mad

main jewel
#

id have to wait a month or so before i could play the dlc

#

id rather wait tho

main jewel
#

its either the 2023 story

#

or just gsc put it there

#

but moved it cause of

#

erm

#

its easier to put it in the red forest

obtuse veldt
#

hmm, well seen some assets there, but who knows

#

could be repurposed for another stalker camp

#

western Prypiat definitely a thing though

#

there is a big ass broken area over there

#

Cold Island is hinted by Sonya

main jewel
#

i dunno what was the intent for it anyway

#

it seems to only be a place to hold kaimanovs home

main jewel
obtuse veldt
#

Also Sonya

main jewel
#

does she mention it

#

i kinda ignored every word she says

obtuse veldt
#

found in a document it says

Cold Island - ?

main jewel
#

ouh

#

yknow the ranger station were that hovercraft is in

obtuse veldt
obtuse veldt
main jewel
#

that was supposed to be a base for a faction

#

flameeee

#

cut faction

obtuse veldt
#

Well i wasnt aware of a Flame faction

main jewel
#

but supposedly i think if gsc actually finished the game in 2027

obtuse veldt
#

heard about a Law faction

#

Duty defectors

main jewel
#

flame faction would utilize the hovercraft to get to cold island

#

flame are freedom defectors

obtuse veldt
#

They dont like the current state of freedom as they have became petty traders

main jewel
#

flames area in ranger station was completely embodied and created like the area were a shop would be set up and a technician area but it was deleted from the release as well

#

who da hell even gunna he there

obtuse veldt
#

could be repurposed in a future

main jewel
#

oh definitely

obtuse veldt
#

See what happened at burnt forest, that place became a new camp (thank you devs walking to duga that far was annoying AF)

#

And the old mine was reworked, so game has DEFINITELY potential for area reworking

main jewel
#

they ripped him out of pripyat

#

but left his radio tech area still there

#

now theres a exo zombie wandering there

#

hi banzai

obtuse veldt
#

wait

#

thats duga if i recall

main jewel
#

i believe its in pripyat thats were i saw it

#

cause the location is still there

#

but hmm

obtuse veldt
#

Anyways... whats the canon route at skadovsk

main jewel
#

also

obtuse veldt
#

Sonya becomes the new kingpin i bet?

main jewel
#

the actual thing irl is in pripya

so

obtuse veldt

yeah, but the technician shop is at DUGA

Man I love playing as a mage in skyrim

main jewel

they have the same model its just the new one has no hat and wears a trench coat over the old banzais attair

#

also i have a question

#

what does that button in pripyat 1 underpass in stalker 2 do

#

the same one deggy presses

#

when he trys to go to pripyat

#

cause i kinda just pressed ut for nostalgia but i have no clue what it does

marble gyro
#

Button does what a button do

charred nova

Or pubg school

I never realized this but the Pripyat school building from cop is extremely similar to the school from pubg

He has millions of dollars why does he not fix the damn place??

I’ll die on the hill that the exclusion zone in real life is a permanent monument to the failure of the Soviet system

the amount of hate from that mod being published was actually insane

charred nova

As only under such a system could a disaster of that magnitude take place
