[hybrid tangle]

he's a good guy

I'm playing GAMMA.

[dusky pawn]

This bit would be funny if we actually had a lot gamma fans here

[hybrid tangle]

come on, it's not that bad 😭

[dreamy plover]

Gamma catfishing

[dreamy plover]

I like it, its better than all the Stalker games combined 😛

[hybrid tangle]

yeah, I'm still waiting for the testing patch to start, it's not long, so I have to play GAMMA rn (until I can start testing the 1.9 patch)

[dreamy plover]

oh sorry to hear you only got 1.9 Imma test the 2.0 with UE 5.4.4 engine update and unfortunately i have to go through every corner of the cnpp of the new DLC 🙁

[hybrid tangle]

bro got premium access what

[hybrid tangle]

yeah we're currently waiting for it to start, my RAM broke, also DLC isn't even ready yet dude what.

[dreamy plover]

so how do you get to test 1.9?

[hybrid tangle]

uh, if you're asking how to test

reach out to Mol1t and asked him is he still looking for testers, also tell what experience you had with technical stuff, what I said is I'm UE5 dev for 8 months (so I probably know the engine)

[foggy olive]

Gama is not an original stalker, they never have been and never will be

[hybrid tangle]

never said it was original, but it IS STALKER

[hybrid tangle]

that's like claming

"Metro Exodus is STALKER bc it have STALKER devs, so- so uhh. It's STALKER!" ahh sentence.

[dreamy plover]

unfortunately they avoid me, they can't take my trolling to well and never asnwer my 'ask gsc' questions. I guess I'm too controversial for them, too outspoken sometimes so no chance

[hybrid tangle]

wtf did you asked GSC, tell me bro 😭

[hybrid tangle]

GSC won't respond to upcoming updates that's not public, or insider questions.

[foggy olive]

Nope, Most Gama fans write that this is the original, and that it was the same in the trilogy, although this is not even close to the truth.

[hybrid tangle]

alr gng what is that😭 🙏 , bro it have storyline the SAME as original, but it's NOT original.

[dreamy plover]

too risky haha

[dreamy plover]

or the questions about binoculars

[hybrid tangle]

I just want to know what did you asked them, so what did you asked?

[foggy olive]

You know, when they tried to prove to me that the original always had what was in fashion, it was very disappointing. And I think that's the main reason for the dislike

[hybrid tangle]

but the game is good tho, we're rotting waiting for beginning of March.

[dreamy plover]

funny enough just before they announced engine update i did ask them about a possible engine update to relief the cpu from overload. They didnt answer but 2 months later the engine update was announced. You know stuff like that

[hybrid tangle]

bc it wasn't supposed to be public ofc, you can asked them when it IS public.

you're taking a billion years to type bro.

[dreamy plover]

everybody who's ever asked them anything on there knows they don't answer questions that are too difficult or could spoil the game and stop people from playing

[hybrid tangle]

what? no?

[hybrid tangle]

gotta accept that some people doesn't want to pay for Original STALKERs, so they play GAMMA/Anomaly

[proven hollow]

That's like saying some people don't want to pay for a dentist so they just let their teeth rot away

[hybrid tangle]

No, it's more like

"That's like saying some people don't want to pay for a dentist so they just let just get a fake one."

[dreamy plover]

the og trilogy and the mods have these moments of peace in them where you can watch the world go about it's business. there these pockets of stillness in chaos. That's not there at all in S2 yet

[dusky pawn]

It is tho except for kazkovyi cause its just war 24/7 there

[foggy olive]

I just don't understand people who demand that a stalker become what he never was.

[dreamy plover]

I don't understand people getting emotional over somebody else's opinion

[foggy olive]

So why did you react to me ?

[hybrid tangle]

free will

[dreamy plover]

for educational purposes only

[smoky hawk]

i dont understand people prescribing feeling to messages from someone else they dont know

[dreamy plover]

since you're a senior moderator I know where this ends and I quit

that's not how it works, I could literally make a joke or insult him (do not insult btw) and he won't get me ban

[smoky hawk]

[hybrid tangle]

@smoky hawk yo bro if I insult you ban wooke321 instead of me 👍

[ruby gale]

[hybrid tangle]

just like actually why do you act like you're 12? (not trying to be rude btw)

[hybrid tangle]

imagine have MonkeyMouth, we all love HamsterMouth

imma play with emoji in this server.

[smoky hawk]

Your mom told me to be nice to you so I cant

[hybrid tangle]

[hybrid tangle]

what if I threw already my mom into Scar Anomaly?

[smoky hawk]

would you?

[hybrid tangle]

[smoky hawk]

very sick

[hybrid tangle]

[dreamy plover]

is trying to make you back your claim acting 12 or refusing to back your claim and calling someone a child a little bit of a childish way of handling the situation?

[smoky hawk]

[hybrid tangle]

yeah, kinda true.

[smoky hawk]

if your argument doesnt have at least one ad hominem why should I read it

https://tenor.com/view/its-grim-its-peak-its-mid-old-man-it's-sunday-gif-8453053925671532900

[hybrid tangle]

Me or?

[ruby gale]

Let's be honest, there has to be at least one racial slur

[hybrid tangle]

is it just me but Psy-Blowout really seems to work well in STALKER 2

like in GAMMA and Anomaly.

[smoky hawk]

not really

S2 has lame ass emissions, a red sky and thats it

[ruby gale]

I like DWO emissions

[hybrid tangle]

I'm UE5 dev but another sky or new textures is hardwork to work, you need 2 skysphere asset.

[smoky hawk]

I can go outside, touch grass AND send you a new sky texture

[hybrid tangle]

sorry, when I type something I keep forgetting things or misplacing words.

[smoky hawk]

sthat easy
sounds like a skill issue

[hybrid tangle]

no, you don't get it, you need ANOTHER sky sphere to swap with, would you like to work in UE5? and show me how it's supposed to be done.

[ruby gale]

Think he'd rather rage bait instead

[hybrid tangle]

Enlighten me please

[smoky hawk]

not for UE5 no, why dont you use the Engine God intended?

[hybrid tangle]

[gritty helm]

does the HK417 in oxa mod have full auto fire mode?

[ruby gale]

Clusterfuck? It should

[gritty helm]

Clusterfuck is the G28A1 in that mod

[ruby gale]

You're on pc aren't you

[gritty helm]

yup

[ruby gale]

Cant tell you then

[gritty helm]

can console install oxa mod?

[ruby gale]

Yeah, its just dumbed down

Since mods cant edit stuff on console as much as pc

Realistically it should have full auto but in game idk

[hybrid tangle]

I have a mouth, and I DO SCREAM

[ruby gale]

[marble gyro]

Morning

[coarse falcon]

Hi, anyone has a problem with game crashing in Rostock?

Seems no matter what i do, every now and then it freezes with no error or anything. After i kill bloodsucker that kills npc with scaner, or after i pick up artifact from it, even if i skip it then it crashed on me after i killed mercs ambush in unfinished building.

[harsh jungle]

i didnt get much sleep last night smh

[ruby gale]

I passed out as usual

[harsh jungle]

i whould probably work on my knitting project

its a blanket

gotta check on my clothes in the dryer and then walk the dog soon tho

[marble gyro]

Sorry man, looks like it's going to have to be a ticket in #📜┃ask-gsc because I have zero clue how to help other than reload the save file or restart the save file

Wish I could help

[harsh jungle]

the Honse pic of the day has been posted

[coarse falcon]

or i'll just wait for next patch and hope for best. 😄

[marble gyro]

Better to let gsc know about it tho, so in future patches that glitch does not escalate

[harsh jungle]

the only power I get here is to post Honse pics

everybody loves Honse

[proven hollow]

yeah, honses taste pretty good

[harsh jungle]

they r my friends unless they r mean

[still current]

[hybrid tangle]

no.

[dusky pawn]

Bric

[ruby gale]

Its not boondocks metal chair

[shell oak]

I have a question for all of you. Which load-out build do you have for everyday use in the zone on master difficulty? Mine is Three-Line Rifle using standard ammo, Skif’s pistol using standard ammo, PA-10 gas mask, PSZ-7 military body armor, psi-blocker, anti-radiation drugs, bandages, and basic med-kits. What should I improve in my load-out? Or am I good?

[coarse falcon]

depends how far you are

[ruby gale]

I just don't play above normal since I use BBR

[coarse falcon]

I like Lynx or later Whip as main rifle

And saiga for vibing with mutants

[ruby gale]

Also id recommend a single piece suit since it spreads protection to the head as well with the body

[marble gyro]

Time for work

[shell oak]

How do you maintain the Whip rifle in everyday use on master?

[coarse falcon]

I consistently loose control over my wallet as a loot goblin, over 400k and counting right now.

Red guns go to the box to sell in rostock, rest gets sold on the spot.

But i'm hoarding all artifacts like madman. All spicy rocks will be mine.

[shell oak]

So you basically collect everything to sell?

[coarse falcon]

mostly yes

[shell oak]

What artifacts help you carry all that weight?

[coarse falcon]

I like to leave some props like medkits and food on the map since it looks nice, but 95% npc loot, weapons and gear i won't use has to go.

Wierd water now, in the past whatever i could get my hands on and a lot of hauling and panting.

Cant wait for Dimond exo, but i'm menaging for now witf Falcon.

I like to play slow and take breaks so it is not a problem for me, since i'm on my fourth? playthrough.

[shell oak]

Oh okay. That’s good. Thanks for sharing.

[hybrid tangle]

have a bad day

[proven hollow]

no

i will have a great day just to spite you

[hybrid tangle]

I will have even better day to flex on you

[shell oak]

You think the game should have more horror elements? Such as a mutant that screams out of nowhere to get you?

[ruby gale]

Like the hunters in lfd

[shell oak]

Maybe

[proven hollow]

nah that;d be scary

[shell oak]

Exactly, I love horror. Game currently feels “creepy” but I know they can do more with horror aspects.

I wouldn’t mind if it had more jump scares too. Randomly in the zone.

[coarse falcon]

it's enough scary when emission catcher you in the middle of nowhere, you are filled with loot like stuffed turkey and have to chug energy drinks, frantically looking for some hole in the ground to hide. 😄

[shell oak]

That’s alright I guess.

[orchid flower]

wazza guys

[coarse falcon]

Jumpscares get old fast imo, everything other gets shotgun to the face.

[shell oak]

But imagine. Randomly opening a door and a screaming mutant jump scares you out of nowhere.

[coarse falcon]

Unless its pseudogiant. Those can be rough.

[proven hollow]

i don't like scary games, stalker is like on the edge for me of what i'd play!

[orchid flower]

all about the mindset lol

[shell oak]

Understandable

[proven hollow]

my mindset is scary stuff is scary

[orchid flower]

its a game man haha scary is sleeping on your fire watch

[shell oak]

It could be scarier. Feels boring walking most of the time. Feels like death stranding.

[proven hollow]

That's dumb, not scary

[opaque cipher]

is the engine update in 1.9?

[proven hollow]

njet

[opaque cipher]

possibly 2.0?

[orchid flower]

shit happens to the best

[shell oak]

Maybe after the dlc comes out.

[ruby gale]

It probably won't be for awhile if not 2.0

[proven hollow]

i'm honestly quite clueless as to what the next update is going to bring, very little news

[river chasm]

Presumably once testing begins we might hear a little more

[shell oak]

I think after the dlc comes out.

[obtuse beacon]

hell yeah

more horror elements would definitely benefit the game

[shell oak]

Thank you! Someone gets it.

[obtuse beacon]

especially some psychological horror

[hybrid tangle]

hello guys

[hybrid tangle]

psy-radiation

[ruby gale]

Eh, feels more annoying than anything

[hybrid tangle]

it is a surprise

[stable warren]

Tried a bit of chernobylite. Ts story buns compared to stalker lowkey

[shell oak]

Yes like random jump scares or running footsteps from behind all over the zone.

[hybrid tangle]

yeah, for someone who said they wanted to skip CoP

[shell oak]

I vote for more horror.

[stable warren]

Yep

I’ll give cop another go but these past few weeks I’ve been lacking brainpower to process anything other than spoon fed shit

[hybrid tangle]

bro got the Brain Scorcher treatment 🥀

[stable warren]

Basically. I don’t think I’ve slept more than 5 hours in a night since new years I’m deadass becoming a zombie

[proven hollow]

nah, he joined freedom, the poor guy, two braincells left at best

[ruby gale]

Says the monolith supporter

[hybrid tangle]

uh, you should listen to a calm relax music

"Psy-Radiation 1 Hour"

[shell oak]

True all freedom fighters do.

[proven hollow]

the monolith only speaks truth

[hybrid tangle]

my friend Duck asked can he join the Monolithians.

[hybrid tangle]

bro, Monolith lied about "Wish Granter"

[ruby gale]

The monolith speaks on a preschool level

[shell oak]

Monoliths have mommy/daddy issues.

[hybrid tangle]

bro got builed 😭

[stable warren]

I’ll lowkey try ts out im at my wits end 😭

[proven hollow]

almost as if it was a defensive system meant to lure stalkers

[blazing ingot]

Good morning! Another day, another Coupon!

The monolith speaks truth you're not willing to acknowledge!

[stable warren]

Moment I finish exams and sleep well imma replay all the stalker games I gotta be better than the damn monolithians and use my brain a bit

[shell oak]

The Ward is the only way. THE way.

[ruby gale]

The monolith speaks televangelist lies

[ruby gale]

Boot licking nerd

[hybrid tangle]

[MISSION UPDATED]

"Psy-Storm Find Shelter"

[proven hollow]

i'd rather be brainwashed than be exploited by some mysterious shadowy group of powerful elites

[hybrid tangle]

bro The Wards is good?

[shell oak]

No life chump. All you stalkers are greedy.

[proven hollow]

the ward is as evil as it gets

[ruby gale]

Least im free to do what I want

[shell oak]

At least they have a real military structure.

[hybrid tangle]

[MISSION UPDATED]

"Psy-Storm Find Shelter"

I guess you like it huh?

[shell oak]

Yes the ward is the way.

[hybrid tangle]

do anyone think but

Psy-Emissions could fit STALKER 2

[proven hollow]

Sure, bro, they definitely won't use the mind control technology they're testing on you

[coarse falcon]

On the other hand you can be exploited by some insane hobo preacher with his little cult.

[ruby gale]

With a bland personality on a leash

[shell oak]

Free isn’t free. You stalkers should know that by now.

[hybrid tangle]

ew no, I'd rather get brainwashed than be controlled by shady faction.

[stable warren]

Lowk someday I’m gonna invent a brain scorcher and use it on myself

[proven hollow]

exploited?! you mean turned towards the glorious path of the Monolith's true will!

[ruby gale]

Free is free if you have a gun

[coarse falcon]

monolith has to go

[shell oak]

Exactly my point. Thank you stalker.

[hybrid tangle]

Your faction didn't even revealed a plan, that guy is crazy!

[ruby gale]

What, that ward is a bunch of pushovers

[coarse falcon]

Board is shit but i like Korshunov

[shell oak]

Didn’t you just said you would rather get brainwashed?

[proven hollow]

Monolith is glory

[shell oak]

Pushovers with purpose.

[hybrid tangle]

I'd rather be controlled by a shady faction than rather get brainwashed.

[ruby gale]

Monolith is a blood cult

[hybrid tangle]

CANCEL MONOLITH

[stable warren]

I hate the monolith

[shell oak]

[hybrid tangle]

| CANCEL MONOLITH

[stable warren]

And duty. Lowk monolith chill compared to duty

[shell oak]

😂

[ruby gale]

Pushovers backed into a corner by every other faction

[proven hollow]

Imagine supporting the proto fascist shadowy group of elites wanting to brainwash the world into compliance rather than the only group who actually defends the zone and the technology within it keeping it out of the hands of those who so desperately want to exploit it

[shell oak]

I dislike stalkers and freedom faction more than monolith. At least ward, duty, and monolith have a purpose.

[proven hollow]

Strelok is right, the zone needs to be locked away from all the greedy bastards trying to exploit it

[hybrid tangle]

I kinda imagine Monolith like this (which is why I like it)

imagine this:

having brothers that would NEVER betray you and would die for you
have a clear purpose in life
die happily
talk with god.

[ruby gale]

Except they kill everyone not in their circle jerk

[shell oak]

Strelock is a loser. Yes I said it.

[hybrid tangle]

"Strelock"

[stable warren]

I mean if ur part of the monolith it would be chill asf but not for everyone else ykwim? It’s lowk js like a group of junkies

[proven hollow]

ooh, boo hoo, we kill a few bandit murderers and kick wards ass, that's a good thing

[stable warren]

B-b-but money ):

[ruby gale]

Stalkers do have a purpose, survive

[hybrid tangle]

we took over Duga btw.

[shell oak]

Since when? Ward can easily push back monolith.

[proven hollow]

SIRCAA burning

[ruby gale]

And killed innocent people minding their own business

[shell oak]

That’s not a purpose. You want to survive? Leave the zone.

[shell oak]

No it ain’t.

[ruby gale]

You leave the zone, no one wants you ward nerds here

[proven hollow]

innocent? you think there's innocent people in the zone? the amount of people who aren't murderers in the zone can be counted on two hands

[shell oak]

Except we won’t. We have a purpose. And the zone is our experiment.

[proven hollow]

Exactly, leave the zone, get your shadowy elites looking to exploit it out of here!

[stable warren]

Lowk ts js aura. Like if the zone was real (as in w mutants artefacts etc) id go there knowing id die cus it would be tuff ash. Duty wants to make it so thats not as easy but i needa aura farm fr

[hybrid tangle]

yes, every stalker that is not any faction is innocent, they have family at home and Monolithians killed them.

[shell oak]

Never

[ruby gale]

The scientists at sircaa?

[shell oak]

Who created peace in the zone? I’ll wait.

[proven hollow]

nah, the moment loners see a fat loot pile they'll murder anyone for it

[ruby gale]

Not you

[stable warren]

Me

[proven hollow]

scientists working to assist the shadowy elite in world dominion? innocent?

[shell oak]

So it was stalkers who created the peace?

[ruby gale]

Definitely wasnt ward, they dont care

[proven hollow]

You oppressed all other factions making everyone hate you until the Monoltih slapped you around

[umbral garnet]

The monolith

[shell oak]

Last time I heard ward love to control and maintain order. Stalkers don’t.

[umbral garnet]

Duhhhhhhh

[proven hollow]

Atlas simply too thirsty for Agatha

[shell oak]

Monolith are basically moths.

[stable warren]

I’m a moth ):

[ruby gale]

More so than most

[umbral garnet]

Motholith 🤣 😂 (ill be quiet)

[proven hollow]

No one working towards the exploitation of the zone is innocent

[ruby gale]

Ew, she looked like a cougar

[shell oak]

Better woman than free loaders of stalkers.

[stable warren]

I mean I’m sure at least like 2 stalkers went there just cus it was cool and are in fact innocent

[hybrid tangle]

quit acting bro, Monolith is literally too easy to kill, Bandits are harder.

[proven hollow]

hey atlasX is into that 😛

[proven hollow]

Send Granite squad to this man

[shell oak]

What can I say? I love a strong woman in power.

[ruby gale]

Harpy is better

[stable warren]

Guys what if the monolith was secretly just a bunch of junkie stalkers and the brain scorcher lowk doesn’t do anything

[ruby gale]

Bandits are a pack of rats

[proven hollow]

y'all acting real tough, but when the gauss guns pop open your skulls it's all tears

[ruby gale]

Monolith is just doing fent

[stable warren]

My skull too thick they wouldn’t crack it

Literally just solid bone w me head yk

[shell oak]

I’ll give them that. But order is what wins. Monoliths are just brainless. No heart. No honor.

[ruby gale]

M701 superior

[proven hollow]

Even a brainwashed person has more brains and rational thought than someone working together with the regulatory board to give them world control

[stable warren]

Lowk stalker needa introduce more niche factions

[shell oak]

To maintain peace. And what has the monolith done? Worship their dying god.

[ruby gale]

No they dont, they literally only think what their leader wants them to think

Thats the point of brainwashing

[proven hollow]

peace through removing free will, what use is that? then remove free will of the few so that those in power in the mainland never get their hands on that technology

[shell oak]

Like I said. Ward is the way.

[stable warren]

I think all factions should hug it out

[coarse falcon]

kiss your homies

[proven hollow]

hug a freedommer? i'd get high just from getting near! damned hippies

[shell oak]

We try to hug and cooperate. But stalkers, bandits, and monoliths say we’re evil while pointing guns at us. But no more. No more reckless wars.

[ruby gale]

Monolith smell like piss

Ward is insufferable

[shell oak]

Because you people gave us no choice.

[coarse falcon]

Imo free hobo stalkering with bois is da way

[proven hollow]

And "free stalkers" are bandits who simply haven't found loot good enough yet to finish their transformation into one

[shell oak]

Exactly

[proven hollow]

never mind, ward is agreeing with me, the truth must be the opposite

[stable warren]

Lowkey I wasn’t paying attention what faction r u preaching for?

[shell oak]

Stop lying to yourself monolith. Oh wait. You always lie to yourself.

[proven hollow]

he supports the bad guys 🙁

[shell oak]

[stable warren]

Duty?

Is ward some stalker 2 thing?

[shell flax]

I know the monolithian isn’t talking about free will

[stable warren]

Like some Evo duty?

[shell oak]

Exactly

[proven hollow]

they're the bad guys in stalker 2

[stable warren]

So duty on steroids. Got it

[shell flax]

Ignore the rock licker

[shell oak]

At least the duty is doing something about the zone. I like the monolith, bandits, and free loaders aka stalkers.

[shell flax]

I wonder if someone’s gonna see me say shit like this one day and actually think I’m being dead serious

[proven hollow]

true, they're fighting ward once your control slips 😛

[stable warren]

Buns takes real one love the nichest best most great amazing (lowk js throwing in words here) stalker faction aka freedom

[shell flax]

The loners never square up lmao, they talk mad shit but the only one who actually fights is Strelok.

[proven hollow]

i was talking about duty

[stable warren]

Bruh I needa wake up in an hour or so 😭 I don’t wanna do ts

[shell flax]

duty doesn’t either

[shell oak]

Nonsense. You are lying to yourself again monolith.

[stable warren]

What’s a niche faction to support so I can be special?

[shell flax]

A niche faction in a game series nearly twenty years old?

https://tenor.com/view/john-jonah-jameson-lol-laughing-hysterically-laughing-out-loud-funny-gif-17710543

[proven hollow]

if GSC hadn't made the game so underbaked it'd have been better though, but after SIRCAA falls and you go to Voronin he actually talks as if the truce has been broken and they're fighting ward

[stable warren]

I mean surely there’s smth niche in stalker 2 like the witchedygrubs or smth

[shell oak]

More non sense. Just like all monoliths.

[proven hollow]

sin, it's just cut content from the original trilogy, or renegades, the tutorial bandits in clear sky 😛

[stable warren]

Wait renegades lowk tuff cus they just worse bandits

Ty gng imma preach renegade propaganda now

[shell oak]

Monoliths if you want to worship a rock, stalkers if you are a free loader, bandit if you are a thug, duty if you hate mutants, and ward if you like military structure and a purpose.

[proven hollow]

i think there actually is a renegade logo somewhere in s2

[stable warren]

All these options suck

Except renegade cus it’s niche or smth imma preach now

[shell oak]

If you hate a purpose then I guess you wouldn’t like the ward.

[dusky pawn]

The camp in red forest with the pseudogiant I think

[shell oak]

Ohh…. You’re that.

[stable warren]

Nah I’m joking lol. Free stalkers lowk my fav. Freedom goes second

I ain’t some gov suckup

[shell oak]

Of course a renegade would choose stalkers and freedom.

[proven hollow]

Ward leadership would unironically be in the Epstein files

[dusky pawn]

Honestly im 99% sure they only made renegades a thing so that the warfare system worked properly

[proven hollow]

yup

[stable warren]

Nah I was joking abt renegades any bandit/renegade pmo

But free stalkers cus like I wanna be my own man fr and freedom cus aura yk

[shell oak]

A military structure in the Epstein files? How does that even make sense?

[proven hollow]

You will all bow down the glory of the Monolith in the end

[shell oak]

Go worship your rock you moth.

[proven hollow]

i'm honestly starting to doubt if you unironically don't know who the regulatory board who controls ward is

[stable warren]

Ward leaders r in Epstein files 100% I lowk agree w that
Monolithians js fent
Bandits and renegades doing too much
Duty just baby ward
So that leaves 2 options

[shell oak]

Who? So basically the “board” isn’t the ward.

[proven hollow]

you sweet summer child

[stable warren]

Then again idk anything abt the ward but like if they similar to duty in any way then yeah

[proven hollow]

how clueless the ward toy soldiers are

[stable warren]

Tbf calling the ward clueless when u like monolith is silly

[proven hollow]

at least we know who controls us 😛

[stable warren]

Monolith don’t have the ability to be cluefull or smth idk

[stable warren]

Lowk I had a teacher called petruha who would be on the files 100%

[candid lion]

im getting absolutely bodied by some creature that I cant even find in the wiki. It's on the island ish peninsula on the east side of the swamps, i encountered it while detecting an artifact that im trying to get, and holy crap. what is this thing

[stable warren]

Ok imma use that 1 hour psi noise to try and sleep gn my stalkers and skin walkers

[shell oak]

This guy is definitely in the files.

[shell oak]

This cult lover is definitely in the files too.

Respect the Ward.

[stable warren]

Can I get a good night back? ):

[shell oak]

Goodnight

[stable warren]

Ty atlas I take back all I said abt the ward we, yes WE love military structure

[dusky pawn]

Its a pseudogiant its all over the wiki

[shell oak]

Never mind. Hope you have nightmares of the ward.

[stable warren]

I JUST SAID I LOVE IT ):

[dusky pawn]

I would advise ignoring it until you have good gear

[stable warren]

Can stalker not like any faction anymore?

Atlas I hope sidorovich bugs out everytime u wanna play any stalker game and talk to him and its a game breaking bug that causes him to say “oooh I don’t like the ward”

[dusky pawn]

Ward sucks corps has my heart

[proven hollow]

corps is a nothingburger with 0 ambition

[stable warren]

I like burgers

[dusky pawn]

Just make his game that beta SOC build where sidor kept the maps from crashing and he had to be included in every map

[shell oak]

Once again the ward intimidates and makes others flee in fear.

[stable warren]

We’re leaving cus of the body odor

[dusky pawn]

They keep stalkers safe and protect a city their leader likes I dont need no ambition its a corrupting feeling that leads to evil

[stable warren]

Imma leave now cus of it too. Gn yall

[shell oak]

I thought you were sleeping? Go before I call your mother kid.

[ruby gale]

Ironic

[stable warren]

I was. Stench woke me

[proven hollow]

i just close my eyes and go into deep, restful sleep

only people with a bad conscience can't sleep peacefully

Teach me 😭 it usually takes me maybe 2 hours of js tossing and turning to sleep

[proven hollow]

get yourself more tired during the day

[stable warren]

Tbf I usually give up a bunch before trying so it takes way longer

I can fall asleep fine in the day for a nap

But actual sleep at night? Get outta here

[shell flax]

Me the moment I lay on a couch for longer then ten minutes

[marble gyro]

What's sleep?

[candid lion]

should i eventually swap from a 7.62 rifle to a .308

i've worn my svdm-2 to shit. im tempted to buy a 308 rifle now

[charred nova]

I likely don’t have school tomorrow

Since there putting in a parking ban

[fickle hill]

Sounds like cancer

[marble gyro]

First break of work, so far easy day, already hit quota

[charred nova]

Yah it’s difficult for 80 percent of us to come to school if we literally can not park bet school wish it actually PAID to have a parking lot now

[wanton blaze]

Anyone have a solution to the Three Captains bug where the Mercs dont spawn so Beards and Sultan die automatically

[charred nova]

It’s so funny bro like on the same street they built the school on there is a giant empty lot with a bunch of no trespassing signs

That could have been the schools parking lot

It’s not like it’s a park or something no

It’s got a giant fence around it so no one can get in and yet there is nothing there

goodwill can have a giant parking lot which you can’t park in across the street but we can’t have one at all

[fickle hill]

Guess it's time to get some busses running or to pull out the Microsoft teams

Gotta do the zoom meetings

Make sure to grab the funny mic

[proven hollow]

you need to throw some grenade somewhere: https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1phvqcn/three_captains_mission_bugged/?tl=en

[charred nova]

It double sucks cus the place they built it in is a really sketchy place especially after 3pm or soc

Why I stopped taking the train

Not trying to get robbed walking around that area

Or killed by some fent addict

[fickle hill]

Yeah I can't blame you

[wanton blaze]

Its a brick building you can see from the window left of the radio. I prefer the Beard and Sultan ending a lot more than with the chick

@vapid galleon wake up lil bro your free

Also do we know how close GSC tried to make Pripyat match the IRL size?

[cobalt fiber]

[charred nova]

[robust pendant]

I dont think its close lol, but I can't say much tbh

I know there is a mod for the og stalkers being developed that has a map that tries to be a 1:1 of pripyat

Its tremendously huge

go to room 234b

What happened 🤯🤯🤯

[charred nova]

the city banned all parking because of snow so literally no one can even get to school

[charred nova]

RIGHT AWAY

How far is from the school?

[charred nova]

well i live over an hour away so

if theres no parking im not coming

[odd sky]

Omg

[charred nova]

what is the leason today teacher

[odd sky]

Mine was 7 min by foot

And 3 min if running

[charred nova]

school is in the city

[main jewel]

oh erm

[odd sky]

Now I understand

[main jewel]

its a free day

work on classwork for anther class

[charred nova]

hurray

[odd sky]

School.... the worst place ever created

[charred nova]

nah bro my school is rad

[odd sky]

What is rad?
(Sorry, English is my third language 👉👈)

as they would say back in the day

So I have to learn about bees I guess

[charred nova]

i mean bro you remember when everything use to be XTREME

[spiral halo]

Do we know what the next update is about ? (and a when ?)

[odd sky]

[dusky pawn]

I do wonder tho what the hell 'judicial veterinary med' is gonna be about
No we dont know

[odd sky]

But not tomorrow

[spiral halo]

of course

[ruby gale]

Strem spoats

[charred nova]

yes

[charred nova]

might start testing by end of month but

not heard anything from the top brass yet

im pretty sure i can at least say when beta testing starts even though i can't say what is being tested

[spiral halo]

damn nice

[main jewel]

school is okay

school is a nice place to learn

[dusky pawn]

Bahahaha no
It isnt as grueling as work can be but its not a good place to learn

[spiral halo]

1000+ hours on s2 ? nice, do you think a multiplayer mod would work nicely with how STALKER 2 is ?

[shell flax]

No that’s jury duty

[main jewel]

no

[ruby gale]

Almost had jury duty twice in a row

[spiral halo]

why not

[shell flax]

Nearly 3k, no it wouldn’t. It’d be a hellscape.

[dusky pawn]

Its filled with outdated cropped information that most people dont need or dont care about and is catered towards an audience so massive that it fails at its most basic goals because of how rigid it is and how flexible it would have to be to succeed

[main jewel]

only part of multiplayer we will see is an arena style team deathmatch or free for all

[charred nova]

i hope they get me in for someone getting into a car crash and ill just be like was one of them driving an EV i really hate ev drivers

[main jewel]

or capture the artifact or something

[spiral halo]

I'm talking about a mod not official multiplayer (which might not happen, tbh PvP in small maps like previous games is just not fun)

[main jewel]

i think co-op is gunna be iffy

for a mod

[ruby gale]

Just say you're not fond of the race of one of them

[odd sky]

I have a question...
American schools are the same as they are represented in american TV-shows?

[main jewel]

its wraps bro

[charred nova]

the best way to describe what co op for stalker 2 would be like is any of those mods that make like the legend of zelda multiplayer

[spiral halo]

wraps ?

[charred nova]

and thats about the level of fun it would be

[main jewel]

that will be difficult as hell

[charred nova]

nothing beyond a basic novelty

[main jewel]

also it seems a little weird

the story is cinematic so

[spiral halo]

I was talking more about a "mmo"-like multiplayer mod, where players would all play on the same map, no saving system (it'd be persisted on server), no base quests & npcs you just pvp/pve & roleplay

[shell flax]

A mod wouldn’t work very well either.
One I don’t trust anyone claiming to make them because it’s a massive scam usually
Two S2’s whole map is designed for one person only, Skif doesn’t have any modeled face in game either

[charred nova]

thats just called dayz

[ruby gale]

Yeah, the more I've thought about it coop for stalker would feel weird

[spiral halo]

yeah kind of, but dayz looks bad

[main jewel]

TRUEEEEE

[main jewel]

NUH UH

[spiral halo]

I like DayZ but damn it doesn't age well

[shell flax]

An mmo mod wouldn’t probably drive the mod devs to drink themselves into a stupor at absolute best

[ruby gale]

It does look a little dated

[spiral halo]

wheras mmo mod STALKER 2 (so let's say a DayZ like multiplayer mod) would be my dream

[charred nova]

Yah mmo players are well known for being very reasonable

and nice people

[spiral halo]

Tbh we're talking about UE5, there's everything to already make a mod like that and there's even proper 3rd person animations to replicate a networked character (BP_AnimMixer).. I tried at some point and I could spawn & replicate the localplayer's character (but there's been updates since then and UE4SS is broken)

[main jewel]

look at fallout 76

for being an open world pve pvp thing

[charred nova]

just go play a modded dayz stalker themed server

[main jewel]

noone kills eachother

[spiral halo]

nah I tried, it's just bad

[charred nova]

that is likely better then what we would get from a stalker 2 mod

[main jewel]

are you too soft for the mechanics or what

[charred nova]

let that sink in

[shell flax]

Stalker 2 uses a custom version of UE5 though, it’s why the engine upgrade is taking especially long

[ruby gale]

Thats what i was thinking of, its better as a single player game rather than a multiplayer thing like 76

[spiral halo]

not really no

[main jewel]

whats making you not like dayz

[charred nova]

but isn't pvp something you gotta turn on?

[shell flax]

No

[spiral halo]

Nah I like hardcore games, DayZ just looks like a 2010 game that's it, too many bugs and ugly

[marble gyro]

If you are talking about fallout yes, dayz is pvp always

[robust pendant]

I can promise you that it's not so great in stalker either. Coop mods exist for SoC and CoP, and apart from the usual "oh cool my friend is here", there's nothing else more to that initial surprise

[spiral halo]

not any issue, you can dump the SDK (it's essentially ue5 5.1 or 5.2 if I recall correctly), sure it has lots of customized things but you don't need to touch them

[charred nova]

the problem i have with more hardcore survival games is i struggle to get into them by my self

[ruby gale]

I wouldn't say dayz looks ugly but it definitely looked dated

[charred nova]

but no one i know wants to play them

[robust pendant]

cool if you like it of course, but it doesnt bring much to the experience than just "my friend is here too"

[spiral halo]

they're coop mods, it's bad by nature

[charred nova]

we might sit down and play it one time then never play again

[ruby gale]

Thats how I felt with ark

[robust pendant]

MMOs wouldn't be that great either tbh

[spiral halo]

Tbh STALKER 2 in a multiplayer DayZ setting would x10 the player count, it'd be just so good

[charred nova]

Like id need to meet someone who already liked the game to get me into it

[marble gyro]

DayZ looks dated even with good mods but it's nowhere near a bad game

[shell flax]

Who gives a shit about player count

[ruby gale]

Which is rare nowadays

[shell flax]

Wrong message but still

[spiral halo]

It's not a bad game, but it still has its quirks, npcs don't sync well, lots of bugs, and yeah it looks dated as hell

[charred nova]

let me put this into perspective for you in terms of making stalker 2 an mmo

the entire mmo back end would need to be made from scratch

[ruby gale]

I honestly dont think it would

[marble gyro]

Npcs?

[charred nova]

it took over 10 people 12 years to reverse engineer the lego universe MMO server back end

[spiral halo]

zombies for example

[shell flax]

Also S2 at its very core is not a hardcore game, you’d need to mod the living shit out of it

[charred nova]

it would take likely even longer than that to make a MMO back end for stalker 2

it just would never happen

[marble gyro]

You don't even pay attention to the zombies

[robust pendant]

there is a mod for stalker called Global War, you just wander around maps and kill lots and lots of people. it's cool to go and kill everyone you see in man maps, vanilla or modded, but it doesnt last much. the reason singleplayer works its because it's designed like it and quests can function properly because of it

[spiral halo]

Absolutely not the same, UE5 is an opensource engine (even if it's been heavily customized) which means it's easily reversable and able to make mods in it. I made the first LUA mod in STALKER 2

[main jewel]

oh sure definitely id like that, but how well would that even work

[ruby gale]

Like what i do with fallout 4, use maim2 and it gives it a tarkov style damage/healing system

[shell flax]

And a mod like that would probably need to pull in some kind of cash so it likely would be slathered with ‘Donate here!’ Links

[charred nova]

i mean in a lot of ways i like that more

i find super hard core survival games annoying

[spiral halo]

Tbh, it would work pretty well. UE5 is easily moddable and there's already proper 3rd person animations to replicate Skif, even player outfits are properly made

[charred nova]

or be paid

like a lot of multiplayer mods of this type ive seen

[shell flax]

GSC would straight execute whoever tried to make a paid S2 mod

Full on drawn & quartered in a public square

[spiral halo]

Not at all lol

I don't think you understand how easily moddable UE(4/5) games are

There was a multiplayer mod for Hogwarts Legacy (ue5 game) in its first week of release

[charred nova]

were any of them good though

[spiral halo]

well it was mostly a cashgrab (the dev is known for that, it's the same guy that did Skyrim Together) but yeah it's pretty good: hogwarp

[charred nova]

okay if thats true then where is the multiplayer stalker 2 mod

[spiral halo]

tbh.. modding scene of stalker 2 is dead

[shell flax]

And I don’t think you realize how much work this would be. Don’t matter how easily moddable the engine is Stalker 2 is incredibly finicky & can pork itself if you modify the same files

[spiral halo]

Click on my discord tag I'm literally making something like that for Skyrim, also I did a PoC in ~2 days for STALKER 2 to make a mp mod, it wasn't networked yet but it was really easy to set up:
Duplicate BP_AnimMixer, add some nodes to mimic the localplayer's character and there you go you have a proper "replicated" actor. Of course you're missing lots of stuff but thoes are the base needed to make a MP mod

[main jewel]

including shays a life bubble thing

Anyway

[spiral halo]

This would be pretty hard to do though

[shell flax]

So if I ask the kit testers right now they’d agree with you that this stuff is easy?

[odd sky]

My question

[spiral halo]

define "easy"

[main jewel]

you said the modding scene was dead, modders everyday are working there asses off fixing or adding new things, im sorry we dont have 500 mods that are useless and noone wants to use, we have all that we need

[ruby gale]

Wouldn't use it personally, I prefer the walking

[spiral halo]

Way easier than on previous STALKER games, still would be a multiple years project though. Modding is never easy

[marble gyro]

You don't want the bloodsuckers saying "At a funeral???" "SWEET" "Ah shiiiiit here we go again"

[main jewel]

maybe but cars would have to have a big veles detector screen to navigate through the anomalies

[main jewel]

no

its dumb

[charred nova]

make them like the golf carts from sons of the forest

[marble gyro]

That's hilarious tho

[shell flax]

Cars are useless in the Zone

[spiral halo]

I won't lie, it's barely alive, there's some great mods but not that many that aren't texture/meshes/sounds replacers

[main jewel]

this is also true

[ruby gale]

That'd be a nice balance technique

[robust pendant]

I think we should stop discussing this and hop on some mods, like Goldsphere or Return to the Zone or Oblivion Lost Remake 2.5

[charred nova]

gotta install a bunch of bridges in the zone

to make them more useful

[odd sky]

Legs are best vehicle

[charred nova]

nah skif needs a sweet jdm car

[main jewel]

do we need a sound replacer though also.. keep in mind.. theres an engine update right infront of us

[shell flax]

Because the mod kit is still in beta, there’s a massive engine upgrade & a dlc set to release this year

[main jewel]

truth

[ruby gale]

Im already playing ride 6, ive been addicted

[main jewel]

i hope oxide doesnt sell his mod to a gamma 2

[main jewel]

[charred nova]

they should install a race track in the zone

[main jewel]

i dont wanna ever see a gamma stalker 2

[spiral halo]

Then why disagree when I say the modding scene isn't alive right now ?

[odd sky]

There are no roads in the Zone

[ruby gale]

Dog race track with blind dogs

[shell flax]

Because that’s still wrong

[charred nova]

nah car race track

[main jewel]

cause its pretty alive bro

[charred nova]

VROOM VROOM

[odd sky]

4 kilometres is not that long walk

[spiral halo]

It's 100% true, 19 mods this week on nexusmods, 80% are textures/sounds replacers

[shell flax]

It is alive, it’s not some gargantuan slop factory like Skyrim or over a decade of mods like the trilogy

[ruby gale]

Your obsession blinds you, think of the gamba

[robust pendant]

that is pretty much any mod scene ever

[main jewel]

why have that when you can havw cool attachments im still trying to find these sights btw

i have all the dovetail ones

[marble gyro]

Modding scene dead, means no mods coming in, but you said "19 this week" so that's not dead, that just means it's a downtime

[spiral halo]

For some games that are hard to mod yeah, but for a UE5 game with an official modding kit (though still not complete, but still) it's really low

[ruby gale]

Pretty sure i have all them, been while since ive checked though

[robust pendant]

what can I say, I'm not a modder

[charred nova]

[spiral halo]

💀 not sure you'd call 19 mods a week (with mostly replacement mods) "alive"

[main jewel]

@spiral halo come back and have an opinion with the modding scene when the game is finished having dlc and whole engine overhauls gang

[shell flax]

Understood, cutting off the stock & barrel

[main jewel]

can i lick it

[spiral halo]

gatekeeping much

[ruby gale]

1897 Winchester slam fire would be better

[marble gyro]

If there is no work, no mods, then it's dead, but 19 a week, means the numbers still go up, so downtime

[charred nova]

if you want

[charred nova]

less cool

[ruby gale]

Wrong but thats ok

[marble gyro]

Get your tetanus shot before then

[main jewel]

its not rusty

[charred nova]

im not

[odd sky]

Still.... My question remains without answer

[charred nova]

slam fire is cool

but its not cooler than the 1895

[main jewel]

MOW

KEPW

MEOW

[marble gyro]

That barrel probably is

[main jewel]

noo

[main jewel]

[odd sky]

I have a question...
American schools are the same as they are represented in american TV-shows?

[main jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-run-meme-release-me-fast-gif-2134328350514985779

[main jewel]

no

god no

american schools on tv are like propaganda central

[charred nova]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ANhKzpIQWI

[marble gyro]

No, some are more less than what you see on TV, mainly they try to reach a quota by just passing kids left and right

[main jewel]

no school is actually like that

[marble gyro]

Their motto is D for diploma

No one learns anything beneficial here in the states

All the actual schools are mostly from out of the country

[ruby gale]

If you're going to have a lever action at least have the .45-70

[odd sky]

Recently I watched Twin Peaks and what the hell

[charred nova]

why that one is cooler

[main jewel]

i think i already asked oxide on this opinions on this, you can technically just make this a mosin variant with a different model and animations and placement things

[marble gyro]

Twin peaks the restaurant??? Because hot damn

[main jewel]

but i dunno

[shell flax]

700 nitro express double barrel

[main jewel]

he has a modeler

so

eem

someone

[charred nova]

shay and I briefly talked about it and he was like yah it would be a pretty major under taking

[main jewel]

pleaseeee

[charred nova]

due to how complex it is

[main jewel]

add it

[main jewel]

yes

[charred nova]

and how many visual moving parts it has

[ruby gale]

What's that one chambered in, because normally it was krag

[shell flax]

For when you wanna say ‘Fuck that guy’ in the most direct way

[marble gyro]

For a second my mind read "He has a yodeler"

[charred nova]

405 winchester 30-40 krag 30.06 7.62x54r and a few other rarer calibers

[odd sky]

No TV series, filmed in 90s

[ruby gale]

It had 40-72 i think

[shell flax]

Ruger PCC for shits & giggles

[ruby gale]

I stand by the American 180

[odd sky]

There was a character, that doesn't even care about school

[marble gyro]

Ohhhh

7 more mins till lunch

Then I get to eat a torta

[charred nova]

the 1895 is the perfect cool gun for stalker 2 because it would actually make sense to appear in the zone

[odd sky]

My parents said that this serial is too weird

[ruby gale]

Dont be eating tortas, thats cannibalism

[odd sky]

But actually I understand everything

Even in sequel

[ruby gale]

Fair enough, but id still like a .45-70

[charred nova]

only real negative if you wanna call it that is you would need to get creative to put a scope on it

[marble gyro]

Yo someone at work called me a Torta pounder because I said I love tortas out loud

[charred nova]

from what ive read anyway it was never sold with official scope mounts so anything out there is a custom fitted deal

[odd sky]

And after finishing Twin Peaks I started X-files

[ruby gale]

Tbf, iron sights are the true sight for lever actions

[shell flax]

Deploy Bubba & his welder

[ruby gale]

🥽

[charred nova]

yah it would also no longer be able to use the stripper clip mounts to fast reloads anymore

[ruby gale]

I prefer side loaders

[shell flax]

Deploy the single action revolver shotgun

[charred nova]

the entire advantage of the 1895 is that it can use modern pointed bullets

because you can't safely use pointed bullets in a tube magazine

[ruby gale]

[shell flax]

Oh yeah? Watch this

blows the fuck up, Kentucky ballistics style

[harsh jungle]

south carolina is gone

[marble gyro]

Hell yeah, lunch time

[ruby gale]

Damn, gonna miss watching dallas

[marble gyro]

4 more hours to go

[charred nova]

yup

[charred nova]

they even apparently made a prototype version in 8mm mauser

[ruby gale]

.50 lever action

[charred nova]

i do wonder if you could put a suppressor on it

or if the action isn't air tight enough for that

[ruby gale]

Id imagine its possible

[odd sky]

Still, I luck some knowledge of English to understand what are you talking about

So I just drink tea

[marble gyro]

[odd sky]

Anyway, I can share with you some cool songs, that definitely have "stalker vibe"

If you want

[charred nova]

where you from mate

[odd sky]

Ukraine 😎

[charred nova]

yah know that makes sense

[odd sky]

I'm very curious

especially in other companies

[charred nova]

?

[shell flax]

Picked up a few songs from S2’s radio for my own playlist

[odd sky]

I mean cultures, countries, languages

[odd sky]

Same

[marble gyro]

I've been looking for that techno song that plays in the bar at Slagheap

It has a really addictive tune

[charred nova]

ah well most of us over this side are from the states but we got a fair few dutch too

[odd sky]

Interesting

[charred nova]

and one Frisian doesn't like being called dutch

[odd sky]

So, can I share with you some songs?

[marble gyro]

If oblivion UE5 can run on switch, then my hopes are high for a port of stalker 2

[charred nova]

i mean go for it

over

[dusky pawn]

Wont find much of that since its mostly white americans and brits here

[odd sky]

You are saying that americans and brits are not other cultures for me

[charred nova]

we see more euro boys then brits around these parts

[odd sky]

And sorry for my poor English 🙏

[shell flax]

You speak better English then half my old college class did

[odd sky]

👉👈

[charred nova]

yah you speak better english than some of the CMs believe it or not

not to throw too much shade on them but it true

[dusky pawn]

I find that people who say this are just too self conscious about texting/speaking your English is absolutely fine

[dusky pawn]

If you like militaristic puritan empires or...whatever the hell brits are then yes they are

[charred nova]

agreed only words you have not known are slang terms

[ruby gale]

Which most Americans dont even remember some slang terms anymore

[dusky pawn]

Yeah and slang is always a pain cause its so variable

[charred nova]

well yah

we change them all the time

[dusky pawn]

Cant blame em I mean hood slang is like another language

[odd sky]

Few years ago I was watching walkthrough of call of duty games and wrote down words I didn't know

[ruby gale]

Its called jive

[dusky pawn]

Seeing as I will never interact with this kind of people irl I didnt have a need to know that but thank you anyway

[charred nova]

they are a dying people

[ruby gale]

Which is also considered slightly racial i think so dont say that in public
