The only ones I can think of that are larger (at least longer) are some of the old scopes they put on Sharps rifles.
Or the giant infrared scopes they made during ww2
apparently thats only 6x
The looooooong boi
Yeah whole lotta overcompensating haha. But really it’s crazy how fast optics Improved, even from the 1860s to WW1 there’s a world of difference.
oh yah
well i dont think optics were as hard of a concept as other things
I’m no expert on optics so I can’t say.
But it feels impressive to be able to be able to condense a 6x scope into around a third the size within 50ish years.
Not to mention the fact that you could now actually make a decent number of them. They would no longer be extremely rare often times custom sights.
we just got better at making lenses
I’m sure that was quite a feat to achieve back then.
I’m not saying that improving optics was by far the most complex revolutionary advancement for warfare.
I’m just saying you went from a handful of soldiers using these massive scopes with no field of view. To marksmen being placed all along trench lines on all sides, often times using these (relatively) small scopes.
And now you have guys hitting targets 4km away. That would be incomprehensible to an 1860s sharpshooter.
Give me AI like Ready or not AI
They stack up on door ways, Flank when need to, and retreat while blind firing
Also they pick up weapons when they run out of ammo
That’d be brutal but great. Just like Ready or not you’d have to change the AI’s skill depending on their faction/experience.
Like bandits are simple and uncoordinated in their attacks. While monolithians work in tandem to surpress and flank their enemies.
Yeah something like that
That would be great, yeah. Everything but their reaction times
Don't know what's the deal with unreal engine shooter games having tweaky npcs that can 360 you in 1 milisecond
That's just game design in general
But nothing is fast as the soldiers in half life 1
I lowkirkenuinely keep dying and im sad
What keeps killing you?
Nothin really, just kinda sad that I died and was like an hour away from my last save fr. But I got killed by the Controller thingamating
That’s happened to me too many times in the og trilogy. I quicksave like every few minutes now.
He might be on master
Otherwise idk why he wouldnt quicksave constantly
naw, I'm on Veteran but with expedition mode enabled. I could turn it off, but it feels like more stuff and choices matter frfr
Ahh well then it be suffering
Yeah
i mean you could iust press quit
that saves the game
I see that as cheating
That saves?
He could also just not play with this on xd
yes
truth
naw, I needa play with it
but you can always be the larp king
Yes it saves but I feel like if you have to do that disabling exp mode is a better idea
but anyway
doing that just gives you the ability to sleep
and wake up all dandy and nice
or take a 2 hour shit

ngl, I just met el zombies fr and they kinda just exist
I thought the exit saves on master we’re only temporary so once you log back in it deletes it?
Welp, boutta dive back into my prolly 2 hr journey trying not to die
Why do I keep getting struck by lightning in STALKER 2 lmao
The skys hate you
STALKER 2 GAMMA would actually be fire
damn, testers are having their pc's turn into cnpp reactor no.4 whenever they open the pda in the new update test build
@charred nova is this truth sauce or weak sauce
i dunno what could make pdas turn pc’s into heaters
i think when 1.8 released, there was a laggy pda bug when you had some graphics option set to ultra, maybe shadows... but that affected only the pda, not the game fps itself
but ive seen atleast 2 mentions in twitter of "stalker 2 fps pda" bug in the new build


Freakanoid
I agree but I don’t eat my chicken like that
it is p obv freak art
MY NAME JEFF!!!
HELL YEAH W
its not supposed to be a freak art
like
at all
im sorry u perceive it as a freak art
Your freak art
your standards for this stuff are scattershot, at best
well the artist intended it to not be a freak art so i dunno
Gimme the modding rights

I just noticed that Lexa is an egg with a face
wsg gng
wtf goh
lexa being freaky again? 
Hello 👋
I think. Lexa needs timeout
Morning
Looks like I missed all the fun last night
Ive ordered stuff for my bandit costume for a convention next month. Hoping it comes in time!
Yes, I finished metro exodus
Fantastic game
I'm hiding here!
Hello Guys, been absent for a while since the release version of the game was a big disappointment, atleast to me.
Therefore i wanted to ask you guys about your personal opinion on the state the game is currently in ?
I know that a new patch is waiting to drop but im eager to find out how the game evolved from release to 1.8.
Good idea to jump in or lay hands off for some time still ?
If you’re expecting improvements like flashlight shadows, a better interface, a few more quests, loot from mutants, QoL changes, and bug fixes, then you can give it a try. If you’re expecting even more, then wait for the new engine and DLC
Hello, please add cooking mechanics
Its better, but still a ways to go yet
The game still has an issue on weaker systems where FPS can fluctuate (although the 'Rostok' factory was fixed, at least for me). The 100-meter NPC visibility bubble is still there. While NPCs outside of it are doing something, you don’t see it. The game still doesn’t have binoculars, but they will be added over time. Sometimes there are bugs where LODs are only visible when you get closer

Found this banger
Lot improved but theres still mechanics lacking its mostly because current version of Unreal devs use... isn't fit for what S2 needs to be
I hope this is as epic as it reads
We've all been there once or twice 😄
- we're still lacking binoculars, proper sleeping mechanic, better mutant behavior and animations, Limansk, CNPP exploration, Zone Kit improvements, no Multiplayer promised in post-release update and whatnot, side quests need major improvement, option to skip every cutscene...
list goes on
Yeah ok, its glorious 😂
Pfft, like you was gonna send any anyway 😂
I have a meme for this, but alas, no perms
It is exceptionally politically incorrect, so I shall infact, not
Tbh as i understood there is still the 100m spawn bubble which would make the implementantion of the binos obsolete as nothing goes on at a greater distance. Cant scout out a outpost or something if no enemies get rendered
Nice try for getting me in your DM's tho lad
One of the main issues i have with this game. Sniping/ scopes and long range oservation just not present/useable in that game
But thanks for the feedback already guys. Seems like it improved and got more polished overall but the main issues still seem
To persist if i understood all of you correct
I've been in like a mood for like 50s music
Damn this gen chat is dryer than cleopatras sandy hieroglyphs
I'm busy, i'll make it wet for ya later bud 😂
im knitting tbh
Lolmao
That's wild
Oh nice nice
i put one of the two blankets i made up for sale on marketplace and it still hasnt sold smh
i need the money tbh
Oh yeah? Hopefully they do sell
yea
i might put them both up in a listing but i dont wanna do the measurements for the second one
How much did you list them for?
ones 20 and the others 30
Thats pretty reasonable given the time you've probably put into them
ye and yarn prices n stuff
Please dont get disuaded by this, but craftwork is always criminally undervalued
Its very hard to make money out of
Did anyone else’s game bug on the subtle matter mission?
It's because you're a Monolithian 😄
Damn 😔
Hey just percivere with it, stuff will sell, but the number of people who value handmade stuff is lacking these days. Trust me, i've been trying for years
i saw someone trying to sell a homemade cardagain for like 150
Aye, though its not stupid to overcharge. You're gettin paid for the wait for it to sell, an you're implying a degree of craftmanship
Though does depend on how you're selling it tho
i put the larger blanket in comparison to the ikea shark
I have no context for that aha
ill put the pic in the off topic channel
That is more than reasonable
Holy hell my friend is like charging triple that price for her quilts
the large one that i shared a pic of in the off topic channel i originally put up for $40 but reduced it by $10
Don't sell yourself short, the price is the price, you've put time an effort in it. Might you have to wait for it to sell? Sure, but the point remains
yeah im just gonna wait, someones already saved the larger one when i independantly listed that
Its not bleak tho there is a market for knitted/crocheted stuff
Noone said it was bleak Kiry, just that its harder than it used to be
People don't have a lot of spare money to spend on artistic talent these days because the economic climate is not supporting people having free money
Don't take my word for it or nothin, not like I don't come from a family of craftsmen an musicians 😂
I gotta do something with my hands cause they get fidgety so I knit and do diamond art
Not to mention people are money pinchers
There is that, but thats always gonna be a thing no matter how comfy the times are
Can't escape it
Like I was at the flea market the other day, to sell one of my cdjs, used 200, and this guy was like ill give you 75 for it or no deal
Jesus
I told him go lick a doorknob with that offer
Not sure what model it were, but yeah, if someone offered that for one of mine they'd get the finger an all 😂
Flx4 2 channel
Cost me like 400 when I first bought them, they were my backups
But I never used them more than once
Aye fair, asking 200 isnt unreasonable given the situation
Reason: Bad word usage
I Even have a 3 year warranty for it too
Oof, yeah they're taking the piss then
Mine are Pioneer 2K's, if someone offered 75 bucks i'd be fcin pissed man
People are just unreasonable and don't want to spend money
Yeah
Eventually I did sell them, a dude was brand new to mixing, so I hooked them up and showed him what buttons were what and how to work the knows, he gave me an extra 30 for the lessons
Fake news far as I’m aware
Opening pda doesn’t cause anything to happen
I didn't charge him, he was kind enough to actually do that tho
Nit everybody is a pos
Just most of us 😂
huh
Lmao truuuue
what happened to the unofficial troubleshooting channel?
I'm just wondering about the "Soap Bubbles" in the game. Ever since release, they have stuttered for me and I'm wondering why they are still doing so? I've just seen a video on youtube where they do not stutter 😐
It got trouble-shot
how helpful :/
I try
At this point, I wouldn't mind if Bethesda ports starfield over
I just need something to fill that hole that stalker 2 left
From Stalker 2 to steaming pile of poo... sounds fun 😐
Starfield is the worst game Bethesda has made by miles
Version to version difference Radeon vs GeForce
It is, but......I need something
Driver updates
I need another ES and fallout
maybe something "good" then?
There are 100s of 20 dollar indie games you could get that are packed with way more content than and quality than starfield
Like no man’s sky

i couldnt get into that
nms is so dissapointing
Elite ❤️
I've done a laso run of all the halos recently
Brain is fried from getting plasma shellshocked
Division 2 after the Brooklyn expansion I'm burned
Ghost recon wildlands I did a fresh pistol only run
Breakpoint I didn't bother playing again
I have 2 copies of AW
But I can't play them
awful game
Advanced warfighter???
yes
Ghost recon
yes
Bruh
the only good GR game was 1
Are you going to tell me you liked future soldier?
Because that's what it sounds like
its just the truth, GRAW was very buggy and the AI was far too simplistic
the missions werent varied enuff and the story was nothing interesting, but also really really restrictive, it was an interesting take on GR but it didnt take off for a reason
it had interesting ideas but far too many of them are some idiotic "immersion" take that actually just harms the game
why would I ever like the game that forced GR into the pigstry that it is at right now?
Fair point
shame, it just got a really silly new gun xD
Bring back socom fireteam bravo
But I get it, Brooklyn dlc was a strange. It was nice see from a fan of the first game. Except no snow 🙁
Lmao, just teasing
Out of all the remakes and remasteres that ubisoft is doing, they should bring back the splinter cell trilogy
Part of adult life is realising that noone does 😂
We're all running about like headless chickens making the best of things 😄
frick it we ball
im gonna have dino nuggies for dinner
All I have is a 8oz steak with steamed broccoli for lunch
im kninda bored
maybe i should doodle that one oc that i have
or i should work on that knitting project
Keep knitting
it another blanky
no that would be awful, why do you want your fav IP to be destroyed and paraded around with its guts out like mockery?
remaster implies they are changing parts of the original game
Remaster also means, just give it a coat of new paint on a beat up Bentley and sell it again for 40
i wish i had a melon baller so i can gouge my eyes out so id never have to see that gif again
usually all i see in remasters is they remove the fun bugs and change the graphics what thats just me
i tire of my vision
during this process they can scratch the bentley and give it a really ugly pink colour as well, and ruin it
Alright, dinner in the oven, even had room to slap on an omlette for a snack, its a good evening for sure
Why ru still an egg, u didn't hatch?
no
awh, when will you? the zone awaits you
Man this lunch kinda sucked
Overcooked steak
Freaking ladies reset the microwave, added 5mins to mine
Steak is nuked
On the plus, the steamed broccoli is fine
oh my god
i have competitive pricing
hmpphhh
Man this day is flying, lunch is up
im flying
wagie working weekends
bye bye
i gotta start writing a fanfic
ew what
fanfics
ive been writing em on and off since 2017 lol
mine are kinda cringe
its okay youll get better n better
idk what to write my next one about tbh
a friend suggested some viddy game characters beating minecraft's ender dragon
dude what
thats not as bad as what we saw in mod chat
i dont even CARE about that right now
i want 1.9 already
Hey! Thats my line! 😄
In other news... Lasagne just come out the oven, an it is f*ckin top
I jus had some lil burritos
i dont want to know what crazy ass shit is going on in mod chat
I had some brisket, pastrami and Mac n cheese
I'm hungry, what can I say. And I'm damn proud of my cooking skills 🤷♂️ 😄
im gonna have chiccy nuggs and garlic bread for dinner
i said i dont wanna know
thats why i didnt tell u
Big fat what?
sandwich
im not gunna tell anyone as that would be bad and inconsiderate of others
if i do
Aye, if its something personal, then you do indeed keep it to yourself
it was always sandwich
wheres ur reading glasses..
Never realized till now, but listening to all these 50s songs are like stories about love, war, and nuclear apocalypses
Uncomfortably close to what the modern age is about to start sh*tting out
does he know
Time is a flat-circle
Bro modern music is ass
Not all of it, but a lot of whats considered "popular" is wack as f*ck
"...A&R's with no taste, to classism, to race, to buck fifties on the face, man!"
Ten points if you know the tune
you guys play vanilla stalker 2 or with mods ?
vanilla
last playthru I did for the new quest was on vanilla to see how the game changed since 1.0
i think the only mod i use is reduce loot
they have to balance better this things, 10min of gameplay im already with 300000 food
469 bandages and 780 medkits
I dont usually mod my games so i played all the stalkers vanilla
Mods
OXA Prototype is v-good
is stable for the new patch ?
Was last time I logged in, dont think there has been one since
But we're expecting another soon, so don't be shocked if something breaks. Price you pay for modding a game during active development
Vanilla with extra cream
giggedy
Finally somebody who's saying this instead of "the economy is too harsh" or something
Aint noone been complaining about the economy being harsh since all the tourists went home 😂
Play on master, you'll go through all of it
I mean, economy is pointless since the zone give me everything everytime lol
Ah I see your problem, you removed carry weight
Bro never seen skif jog before while 50kg over
I'm using all my energy drinks to negate being overweight
https://youtu.be/jJOlc6bCru0 @marble gyro
They just need to implement a supply and demand simulation in them adventure games to fix the economy 
(Partially a joke but I'd love if more games had something like that)
Vanilla
At least until sdk reaches a more complex state to promote th creation of more sophisticated mods
The ones that are there way too simple except for few experimental mods that would probably break your game each update (with the exception of shay mods which usually gets the updates right away)
True. I'd like to see some story mods and maybe even AI additions or new enemies in general... Currently it feels like all we have is guns, balance changes and some graphics mods (which isn't bad at all, just not what I'm looking for)
Would probably take a year
Whatever we may get at this point is small poorly made cutquest restorations (which won't really happen cuz whatever modders may find. Might require more than text assigning.)
They tried to restore one duty quest and it was a fail
As far as ik
30 more minutes
For what
Does anyone know a good all rounder AR and SMG and a good DMR in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2? Also an armor that gives good physical protection and decent anomaly protection?

Kharod and liberty suit (or one of the unique exos
Of after upgrades
It would mainly be great for physical protection but not as much for anomalous resistance (Only scientific suits offers top grade anomalous protection at the cost of being ass in terms of physical resistance)
Ig it's the choice you have to make after all.
LEATHER JACKET
theres already a fishing mod being made
did you know

its kinda insane what can be added already
the tools still arent sufficient to be able to change enuff of the game
Map and Quest tools for example
you cannot edit the world directly
uh, clusterfuck
unique ar416 that is basically a dmr (does dmr damage and is semi auto) but it can sport all the mag attachments and grenade launcher like a ar416 can
(you find this during the 3 captains quest after sircaa)
smg wise id say dont use that, instead get a saiga or getting the unique spas out of the arena when you complete the last level thing in rostok arena
the bulat full suit is the best choice imo, you can find it in the main building thing in the army warehouses area
if you need an ar tho theres a yantar dam stash with a kharod (best full auto 556 ar) and gen 3b night vision
smg’s are generally bad so
erm

Clusterfuck ends up costing you an arm an a leg in the long run
Gun falls apart pretty fast
Not shootin enough stuff then, smh
well no i dont shoot everything i see
i use it and stick to using it for people
the shot gun is for mutants
and uh any pistol is for rodents and if i run outta ammo
i can usually one or 2 tap people in the head with the cluster fuck so
Is there a way to get the Kharod and Saiga early? I just unlocked Wild Island yesterday.
Its decent, but during my first playthrough it was less durable than a wax condom
Shame too, cos its fun to use, havent picked it up since cos freeplay mod dont allow for it
Maybe I spawn one with console an try it again
There’s a free saiga in the Rostok zone and a free Kharod in Yantar
You can do the legends of the zone mission and get one in cordon
Kharod I mean
But at that point just get the Dnipro
just walk north
they are both laying in the word map close to one another, in the truck cemetery I think thats the name
dms
ill show you
Yo you can get a dnipro in the red forest
I just remembered
It will be in shit condition, but it's only a couple koupons to repair nothing big
you can get a svu too
you can get a 100% dnipro and a liquid rock if you go ti malachite
and do the arg parkour
and search up the 2 codes

im pretty new to stalker 2 im thinking about trying some mods what are some good mods to try
pc
okay wellll erm oxa is pretty cool
oxa prototype
it adds a bunch of attachments
and meds
and everything
it adds pouches or boots that work like artifacts and boost things like sprint speed
or uh
im assuming thats a nexus mod
Prototype is good yeah, can vouch for that, also the winter textures is also v good
reload time
nexus is like the number one place
for mods
i think
i figured i was just making sure
i like oxa alot
lemme uh
send you to the channel
craftable and lootable is pretty neat you just cant have prototype, you gave to use standard
prototype requires a new save file
so does lootable and craftable
better ballistics is a must have
bullets are more realistic and you can even hold ur breath with every gun and tilt aim without nvgs
so more of a realism mode
Does BB even work with OXA Prototype?
That has its own balancing changes so installing BB on top either will work, or OXA will just override it due to how its loaded
eeeh not sure
I'll check it in the 'morrow
ive seen them paired before i think
Kinda hope it does, but generally not in the habit of loading multiple mods touching the same aspects of a game
Sin.. its gonna be sh*t man
I just need it
If I hold my breath I won't be able to breath right
Depends if you've learned circular breathing or not, an im not sure that counts as holding your breath
Next Bethesda update is starfield 2.0 and ps5 release
I'd rather eat crayons than play that sh*t again tbh
But bro, the star wars mod
It overhauls like every planet and actually has good combat
Use bb core
An it works seamlessly with OXA Prototype?
Cos im not taking that out
Never was all that into SW I'll be honest 😄
I want to say no because both touch damage but worth a try cause you have load order and whatnot
Damn man, it's really freaking good
should play first playthru with no mods
what is your bio and why do you want people to send nudes
Yeah, thats sort of what i expected tbh, though LO might not effect anything coz OXA loads independantly as i understand it
truth but people dont listen
Nude dirty basslines
nude is crossed out..
But if your going to use bb redux mutants are more spongey then core. if you end up trying core and prototype together lmk
'Coz I like lookin at boobs, what of it? 😄
Man's gotta have simple pleasures in life aint he
lol
You aint wrong there
Yeah, i'll chuck it in tommora an see if it works or not, I'd like it to, but eh, if it doesn no drama, OXA's changes are competant enough, just not as hardcore as I'd ideally like it
It doesn’t count because there is a dash through it lol
Still counts, coz I wrote it an I say it counts 😄
My friend is playing re requiem again, and she is in the underground area screaming her ass off
So funny
Lule, I watched a few bits of gameplay of Requiem, weird game, going from FPS horror to TPS action game with giga-cheesy one liners
Would play it if they stuck to the FPS horror track, but alas
You can change it to all FPS
‘Giga cheesy’
Have you played resident evil? 
I mean yes, but jesus if they didn't overdo the cheese this time round, its like camonbert layered ontop of brie
Roll on ILL tbh
" paydirt ? more like paymud. " - leon kennedy
First game i've seen since Alien Isolation that looks like it has the potential to cause actual jumps
I got a feeling that ILL might be like atomic heart
Weak
Mid?
Open world but empty
Yeah, maybe, but we'll find out, they certainly got the aesthetic and the physics right
I hope man
unfortunately a true statement
Apparently Alien Isolation is also gettin a sequel at somepoint, made by the same director too, so that should be p'good
Not sure why its unfortunate, just normal dude things 😄
ah hell nar
Potentially 🤷♂️ Might take the perspective of a new character, all I heard is its in dev' an its the same director
Most hype thing about it is the alien AI getting a once over with modern tech ngl
It was nasty in the previous one, its gonna be evil in an updated version
If its anything like the first, the most you'll be killing are a few spacers and the odd joe, you aint killin the bug 😂
Yeah, legit one of the scarier parts of that game
Very unsettling
Less familiar with that franchise i'll be honest
Wait wait, the one with Donald glover or Arnold?
One with Arnie in the jungle
I remember a 360 game called Prey actually, an it was utterly mind-bending
Then they rebooted it years later an it was still good, but no where near as trippy
Think it was on the 360, mighta been on the OG xbox, i forget
Oh bro......prey 2016 is nothing like the one on Xbox og
One was about an Indian that gets his girl kidnapped so John Prey goes Turok on their asses
And the other you are a Nerd in space and has a crazy Brother that wants to siphon the Typhon energy and evolve humanity
If you want a true nerd game, play Half life
Yeah, they were very much not the same
Both good games, but one was much wilder than the other
Also R I P Prey 2 space Bounty hunter
Lmao, I'm just sayyyyying dawg
Unironically tho, kinda am
Jesus the Elden Ring Reforged mod tourney is so cursed
Looks cursed
So where is the problem?
You wonder to yourself after awhile, HOW have I not bed shot yet at a trader lol
I mean, yeah, traders are part of the gameplay loop. Devs don't want you to softlock yourself... Although it would be cool if the game had an ability to do genocide runs like fallout new vegas lets you do that, lol
Max Saturday is dead when I arrive?
HI
But that would make enemy stalkers bullet sponges
No
it just makes them have the reaction time of a real person
also thwy do more damage
Oh yeah sure, a real person have the reaction time of a kid on Adderall in a cod lobby
.04 second aiming
You can one shot humans with the right caliber and depending on their armor situation
Exo skeletons still take a half a mag
Mutants, depending on the mutant, will determine the TTK
took me like 10 ap 556 lmao
You can get an endgame suit of armor for free in Malachite. Has great all around stats, you get it at the malachite facility itself after climbing a ladder and doing some platforming.
Best pistol at your point would be the Rhino revolver or the Kora 1911. You can get a fully tricked out 1911 in Zaton on a bridge just south of the docks you go to for Sultan.
is 2750 mhz at 900mV a good setting for undervolting RTX 5060?
testing with stalker, my gpu runs 7 c cooler and fps feels more stable
Is there a way to get to Malachite? Currently, only have Wild Island, Rostok, and Yantar unlocked.
Yantar is northeast of malachite. It’s the one bordering the outside of the map.
I know there’s a way to Malachite through chemical plant (region south of Yantar and Rostok), there may be one for Yantar too.
You don’t need to get in the facility itself to get the armor, it’s in the exterior.
But you get a lotta coupons for the mutant parts missions inside too.
Pistol - night stalker/rhino. Armor psz91-Falcon
As I understand you're still in the PRE-SIRCAA phase, so I recommend exploring all the locations ( except Pripyat ) before you proceed with the story on Zaton
@drifting bear Alright, thanks. Last question, should I use a SMG or none of them are great in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2?
Shah's mate is good in early stage other one meh for me
Alright, thanks as well.
The buket or spitter is great early on too.
Uses the same ammo as the makarov, and does better damage than a lot of assault rifles.
Cheap as heck too, then we get the Ratshaker later on which is basically a better Buket
will 1.9 add any new guns.
I don't think so
I keep my expectations low for this but I'm still disappointed.
Based on how one of the testers reacts posts, 1.9 doesn't seem good performance wise. It might even get new issues.
they've been really quiet with 1.9, except for "door" - we pretty much know nothing
it is indeed very hard to gauge what GSC's priority seems to be at the minute
Yes, I suppose surviving irl is one priority
I'm just waiting for the engine upgrade

How do you even become a tester... It feels like every single one of you is a tester, lol
what'd he do? 
all moderators are testers
becoming a moderator of this server is the price you have to pay for being a tester 😛
we don't talk about that in public channels

that bad?
are you a pc player
Yeah
guess you could be then
just gotta be able to keep your lips closed leaky lips sink ships
Would be kinda cool, honestly
and get you kicked from the testing team
That I can do really easy. Still, there's more to that, right? Like... I need to be useful, not just enjoying the game 
enjoy.... sure
meow
sound like a free labor. i like it
And do you guys make any suggestions like, I dunno, "I'd place this item over there instead of here because of X and Y" or is it all just about reporting them bugs and nothing else?
we have extrememly limited if any input on what the devs opt to do
its primarily bugs
What's wrong with my question tho...
which even then may or may not be fixed
Yea, makes sense
im just joking
like in the past some of the worst bugs people have complained about
we found them during testing but
for one reason or another they just did not get fixed before the update dropped
Jack did you find a-life maybe somewhere? any luck 
NDA

well i can say
Is 1.9 just a bigger hotfix? Im at this moment very confused.
Did they remove mpreg...
I couldn't mpreg this post
We truly live in a society
Ah, right, I'm using some shіtty custom discord client on my phone, probably because of that
discord have alternative apps? wot.
Yeah but it's kinda useless and outdated now, I should move on to the official one, tbh
I'm using bluecord currently
any reasons? better performance?
Not sure about the performance but it just had some cool features like showing if the file I'm about to send is above the size limit or being able to log the messages that were deleted so I could read stuff in chat that was deleted by wolf, etc. Other than that it's just like an official client but a lil bit outdated
And, I guess, I can't mpreg you on it for some reason
yea, i hate than i cant mpreg anyone 
no dicks allowed
3 corned beefs, pots of veg & gallons of Pot Liquor!
you should be careful before you get reported for going against the discord tos for privacy
there are some real meanies out there

Thats tomorrow, init?
Beidh muid ag dul ar meisce go dtí go mbeidh grian na maidine. Triomóidh na tithe tábhairne, agus suaimhneofar ár mbéal, leis an deoch a dhéantar le fual aingeal.
Lmao
only ASR gives you better discord perf, and thats experimental, vencord just turns on plugins and deeper customization
plus he is right with searching for alternatives the way discord is going
cant even export a chat log
what a joke
Do i have to leave the camp also for a bit so I can get my gear repaired
Take a random guess 😄
Does it involve beer?
well damn
i want to keep that im not getting rid of it
Nah bro the secret is all the testers are actually women
Your owned
Yeah cleaning up after the drunkards
You're goddamn right it does
It's one of like 3 days per year where its acceptable to get sh!tfaced in public. It'd be a shame to waste it
Someone's gotta do it
wait, where's the beer?
I'm so glad I dont gotta do that no more
So glad
my nostril itches and i can't quite get it. anyone got a finger?
Yeah in Montana the High Way patrol are hella active as of now you can go a block and you will see 3 high Way patrols hiding

I have a lot of tam so it would take a little while
Snort a line of salt, that'll fix it
I'm forwarding this to the authorities. Death threat by Robocop!
Finger up yo nostril?

new to Stalker 2. Theres someone called Leyshy and he comes up green reticule but when he sees me he opens fire?
yeah man
He was Grene reticvule? wierd
BTW- I have default setting and uts REALLY dark Is that how it's meant to be?
You'll read his pda that he went kinda coocoo
Ah ok!
Mess with your contrast
Is game meant to be so dark? It's cool - just wondering
It's supposed to be dark but not that dark
Are you on pc or console?
My game looks like something out of silent hill
LOL, PC mate. It's ok- really dark but a good horror vibe. I'll post a screeny in a bit
posted two in Screens
There are other NPCs mentioning him in that zone. If you would look well enough for things, you will see conections.
Yeah I believe you man- I am kind rushing as hard to find time to play rn..! Thanks anyway dude
Atmosphere in this game is phenomenal. The noise of the raindrops when you next to vehicles and metal roofs etc... amazing.
Stashes are Universal too right?
We live in dark times....
THIS IS GRIM
hes always supposed to be a meanie
what
i wonder why we dont have a unique dnipro
or a unique kharod
for dnipro we have sotnyk
oh yeah i forgot avout that
dude lowkey point of no return uniques dont count
Hi, please add DLSS 5 at autumn, thanks!
there's a lot of other things they need to do before adding dlss 5
New to S2 and loving it. There are no binocs in the game right? How to id enemies from a distance? Colour of the reticule and thats it or?
St Paddies is lookin to be a banger ngl
Hello 👋
Yeah no binocs yet. IIRC they were supposed to be implemented but were cut.
Mostly just the color of the reticle, and a good scope. That’s your only way to identify.
ah cheers man. Adds to the tension anyway lol
we need binoculars
It’d be a crazy easy thing to add in. Relative to other problems.
Faction models have different colors, so you should be able to more or less gauge who you are shooting at depending on how much they blend in with the surrounding environment.
no binocs cuz nothing spawns at a certain distance bubble, you must understand that everything was sacrificed for the sake of unreal photorealistc graphics
nuh uh
yes
Yeah I get it mate. Shame but it is what it is. Looks amazing tho..!
nah
Theres a good mod for Anomaly where you can ID npcs from a distance and it delays depending on the distance. Anything like that for S2?
no
Eyes an ears in S2
but graphics...yea... it's beautiful
me when no electricity
Nah, we're fine with optics
BINOCULARS
Binocs would be nice, but bubble needs fixing first
Kinda dont need em now, just use rifle-scope
Not happening.


hows 1.9 testing going
Most of us have finished testing the new content
What does it say tho? That I can't log what others say or something like that? I've never read that thin, tbh
i dib t test
is that you in your pfp
I haven't. >:(

Claiming to use 3rd party clients breaks tos

Oh, I see. Didn't know that
Thank you for letting me know, yea
my back itches can you show me to the nearest coarse oak tree
Yes right this way sir

My bіtch wife wanted red but I persisted on blue and in the end I won. Something like that

NDA territory here

This guy killed his wife

F*ck is goin on in here
Dude lookin like he's ten mins away from an epic crashout
Ping me if it happens, I wanna watch

Where crashout
I'm sorry for not delivering this time
Or this time, apparently 😄
true
New pssr 2.0 upscaling launching for ps5 pro tommorow, wonder if it will have any effect on the visuals of stalker 2
We crazy fr
Hmm? Where?
Wdym where
Also, it's only select games
uhhh i think on the PlayStation 5 pro
I could be wrong though
It's on the pro yeah
I researched it, and it's just AI upscaling
It might make a difference by 3 frames
But nothing big
blardblarlarblar
Speaking of frames, I gotta get back to frame data reading
Gotta get good at those fighters
So I did the rest of stories untold today and must say that was a ride
please GSC dont implement dlss 5 into s2 , that sheet is hot garbage
i never seen a more horrible feature for a videogame since motion blur
every stalker and bandit is gonna wear make up and beautified filter with DLSS5 
They are all going to look like oblivion abominations
Anyone can help me find a AR, SMG, and DMR that’s good at any range and can be gotten early? Also I’m looking for a good pistol and armor with good physical protection and anomaly protection?
Like how far are you?
Also again, Skifs pistol no cap
Atm it literally can carry you halfway until enemies start dropping Koras
I’m at Wild Island now. Not a fan of the AKs and the Viper-5.
Wild island and you haven't gotten drowned???
Literally good rifle
It's an AK yes, but also it never breaks
Also if you have journalist stash locations you can get a free vector that shoots 9x19
I think I missed that side activity because it no longer show up on the map.
Nvm it's a .45 vector
It'd called the Riemann
It's really good
Has an extremely high fire rate
Wait are you Like at a point of no return???
The side quest to get drowned is at the Slag heap. It may still be there.
It’s the dude on the bridge asking for help getting his gun back.
I’m at the quest, Hot on the Trail.
They said they don't like AKs
Ah crap didn’t scroll up that high. Then spitter is another good choice in garbage. A 9x18 smg found southeast of slag heap IIRC.
Also pretty sure you can get drowned like without asking the dude
I was just using him as a landmark really.
Like it will just be there
All vectors in S2 start as 9mm, you need to upgrade it to .45 just as a quick note 
They may have changed it but at least as of this video, it was still 9mm.
what they did to Grace 😔 i cant forgive
also they needed 2 5090 to run and goal is to make it work on 1. this means it will tank fps
ai slop era
