[ruby gale]

Not if you plan to use it

[shell flax]

Unironically you could grab a Makarov from a surplus site for that lmao

But in all seriousness you’d like be looking at stuff like Taurus, Canik, Glock and Ruger

[ruby gale]

Canik is pretty good

Taurus is a crime gun

[shell flax]

Avoid 1911 and 2011’s just because holy fuck they get expensive

Like, I’ve seen 2011’s go for more then HK ARs

[tall hawk]

just looked up canik, it def has some aura to it

[ruby gale]

My dad liked the one he had

[shell flax]

If you go with 700 and you aren’t opposed to doing some site trawling, you could get lucky and find a used HK for under that

Or a Beretta

[ruby gale]

Ive been looking at a mp .45 2.0

[shell flax]

Smith is good too

Though if you do get a pistol, don’t blow your entire budget on the pistol itself, leave some for ammo, spare mags and maybe an optic if you’re feeling Fancy

Or you have dog ass eyesight like me

[tall hawk]

of course

gun is useless if you can't shoot it

[shell flax]

I do recommend a 9 for your first gun though
Cheap, reliable ammo

[sharp sierra]

Get an anderson wheeler mkVII lol

[ruby gale]

There's a store by me with a .50 revolver

Also some long colts

[tall hawk]

actually imma just get a desert eagle as my first gun

[visual mortar]

probably not a good first gun

[ruby gale]

Gun laws are pretty relaxed around here, dont even need a permit, only problem is no full auto allowed

[tall hawk]

I'm so jealous

[visual mortar]

same

my state rocks

[tall hawk]

in my state you can't even own a semi auto rifle unless it fills in some absurd level of restrictions

[visual mortar]

cuckachuessettes

[tall hawk]

DING DING DING

maybe I'll just move to NH

[ruby gale]

They aren't, they need extensive cleaning/ compared to other pistols to avoid failures

[tall hawk]

they got some of the loosest restrictions in the country, I think they barely even have state-level restrictions, only federal

[visual mortar]

and are an unfriendly amount of recoil for a new shooter

[shell flax]

OH

[ruby gale]

They're more show pistols like kimbers, but for different reasons

[tall hawk]

in NH as long as you arent a minor or a convicted felon they don't care what guns you own, don't even gotta register them 😭

[ruby gale]

IA

I still have my permit anyway, makes getting a gun faster, avoids background checks

[tall hawk]

my major gets paid a lot more in MA tho

[shell flax]

Money vs Fun, the oldest tale

[ruby gale]

If i could find one and not worry about the cost I'd get a STI DVC P 2011 .45

Or a LAR grizzly mark V

[proven hollow]

mods banning all the good links to the interesting servers

[marble gyro]

FFXIV is getting some good updates

Think I might buy another subscription

[ruby gale]

No

[vapid galleon]

good links

[ruby gale]

Never got into FF

[marble gyro]

Nows a good time to check out the free trial until lvl 50

[visual mortar]

paying to play a game is insanely retarded

you would have to play it like a job to get your money's worth

[proven hollow]

wat

[marble gyro]

I was about to say lol

[visual mortar]

wdym "wat"

charged monthly to play a game

thats just dumb as hell

[marble gyro]

I dunno, it's not so bad as paying a monthly subscription for playing onlune

[proven hollow]

i don't think it's dumb, a lot of entertainment is on subscription services, keeps them able to make more new content

[visual mortar]

if you dont play it so often but still have to pay a subscription to play at all, its not worth it

that's just mind boggling to me

[proven hollow]

why would you pay a subscription for something you don't use that often tho 😛

[visual mortar]

exactly my point

[ruby gale]

Aka destiny 2

[marble gyro]

You could also do a one time subscription and cancel it

[visual mortar]

why would you play at all

[proven hollow]

'cause it's fun

[visual mortar]

is it

[proven hollow]

kind of the whole point of playing games, ain't it?

[visual mortar]

its an mmorpg

[marble gyro]

Robo has got a point

[visual mortar]

yeah but the game has got to be worth paying monthly for

[proven hollow]

i had a lot of fun with MMORPG's, played LOTRO for ages with a premium subscription, never regretted a moment of it

[visual mortar]

also if the game just isnt fun then what is the point

[marble gyro]

Played WOW for a long time

Subbed to it every month

[ruby gale]

Stockholm syndrome

[proven hollow]

seems like you have more of an issue with people liking MMO's than a subscription

[marble gyro]

Got off of it, switched to everquest

[visual mortar]

i think that requiring a user to pay to continue to play a game is insanely predatory

you are pay far more than the game's worth after like four months

its just retarded

its like financing a game console

[proven hollow]

who are you to say what people consider the game worth, for a lot of things there's a price tag for a good time/fun things

[marble gyro]

Final fantasy is fun

[visual mortar]

dude what

[ruby gale]

To some

[visual mortar]

games are priced on their worth

$69.99 standard price for a game

[ruby gale]

I dont know about that nowadays

[proven hollow]

and what dictates a goods worth in a market, tamsnappel?

[marble gyro]

To me*

[visual mortar]

dude

you're not being clever

[marble gyro]

Final fantasy is $20 tho?

[proven hollow]

feel like you're lacking some economic fundamentals here

[visual mortar]

its just insane to me to pay for a game multiple times over

A MONTH?

[marble gyro]

Plus you get a free trial up to level 50

[visual mortar]

LMAO

[marble gyro]

And getting to level 50 takes like 40hrs

[visual mortar]

economics is truly about paying to use a product repeatedly true

[proven hollow]

do you consider it the same for streaming services?

[visual mortar]

yes

i do

its stupid as fuck

[marble gyro]

But that doesn't stop there, jobs in game also have levels

[proven hollow]

and for internet?

[visual mortar]

everything becoming subscription based is a problem

[visual mortar]

no thats a given, you actually use it every month and it requires lots of resources

[marble gyro]

So from 40hrs, you can play for 150+ just on a free trial

[visual mortar]

same for any utilities

subscription based services are inherently predatory

[ruby gale]

Utilities and entertainment is 2 different things

[proven hollow]

and what if someone plays a game monthly, that also requires resources and development to keep developing?

[visual mortar]

that's the problem of the developer

[proven hollow]

the logic behind a monthly payment isn't

[visual mortar]

they should have made the game good enough to receive a return investment

[marble gyro]

Ummm????

[proven hollow]

so in that case internet requiring resources is also the ISP's problem and not yours?

[visual mortar]

imagine if every game wad subscription based

that would be hell

[marble gyro]

Millions of players play FF14 lmao

[visual mortar]

no? wbat

there's no parallel here

lmao

[proven hollow]

why the difference?

[visual mortar]

entertainment and utilities are completely different

dude thinks he's clever

[proven hollow]

does both internet and the game require resources to run?

[visual mortar]

mo?

no?

not really

[proven hollow]

wat?

[visual mortar]

I've baffled him

[proven hollow]

yeah, you have

what do you think mmorpg servers run on?

[visual mortar]

do your really think that leisure activities and necessities should be priced the dame

[proven hollow]

no, i feel entertainment should be cheaper, which it is

[ruby gale]

Devs make money off game sales/ads, they shouldn't need a monthly subscription to play, maybe for certain advantages but not to just play

[visual mortar]

the company pays that???

[proven hollow]

i feel in the end it's dictated by the resources used

[visual mortar]

its included in development budget

we pay for the price of the game content not for the development

insane argument you're pulling here

[marble gyro]

Insane argument you are continuing lmao

[proven hollow]

what...? where do you think the money for development comes form?

[visual mortar]

with your logic every single game should be subscription based

[visual mortar]

from the price paid for the content of the game

[marble gyro]

Can we just say, cest la vie?

[proven hollow]

so from the customer? who pays?

[ruby gale]

Please dont give developers more ideas

[visual mortar]

where are you getting at? no fucking shit

[marble gyro]

It's not your money thats being thrown around

[visual mortar]

the customer pays for the content of the game, they are not paying for the development

[proven hollow]

bro, ISP's use resources to provide a service, MMORPG's use resources to provide a game, it's the exact same thing, it's an exact parallel

[visual mortar]

no its fucking not

[proven hollow]

How is it different?

[visual mortar]

stalker 2 4.99 a month pay up

[marble gyro]

Ladies ladies, you are both pretty, can we get on with the day?

[visual mortar]

leisure vs necessity

duh

[proven hollow]

how does that change using resources for a service?

[serene barn]

i'm thinking they pay for servers but idk what else.

[visual mortar]

because its the providers responsibility not the consumer

the consumer pays for a service because thats just how shit works

someone doesn't understand basic economics

its business

[proven hollow]

it's the providers responsibility to provide a service, right? and they charge for that because they have to use resources for it, which is the exact same a MMORPG does

[visual mortar]

so does counter strike

oh wait but that is free to play

oh wait majority of mmorpgs are free to play

hmmm

hmmm

[marble gyro]

Until you start buying knives

[visual mortar]

why should i pay monthly for this one

its a predatory marketing scheme that literally has no place

[marble gyro]

Counter strike a job tho

[visual mortar]

what

[proven hollow]

Bro is confused about different marketing models of games

[visual mortar]

how is it different

they're all games

[marble gyro]

You buy skins and resell them based on their condition and rarity

[visual mortar]

you play online

your logic proves that they allr require the same resources

[proven hollow]

you're asking me how a free to play, pay to play, microtansactions and monthly subscription model are different?

[visual mortar]

so we should pay montjly for every game

[marble gyro]

I spent about 400 one time and got a karambit tiger striped factory new

[visual mortar]

so why is ff different then

[marble gyro]

Sold that sucker for 1,000

[proven hollow]

do you really need this explained?

[visual mortar]

why would i not just play a f2p competitor

[visual mortar]

you don't have an explanation do you

[proven hollow]

then play that, like what

[visual mortar]

your logic is that it should all be subscription based because its the same resources

[proven hollow]

no

literally not what i ever said

[visual mortar]

okay so then what makes ff different from games that are more friendly to the consumer

[marble gyro]

Tam remember you said you were like me? Because you are just like me when I'm arguing about something stupid and redundant

[visual mortar]

you made parallels to utilities and said the consumer should be paying for the development

[proven hollow]

wdym what makes it different? different games use different economical models to run their games, like what?

[visual mortar]

okay what's different about it

[marble gyro]

You can't hide what's inside

[proven hollow]

who else pays for game develepment you numbnut?

[visual mortar]

why does it need that marketing model

[proven hollow]

because it works as a marketing model?!

[visual mortar]

BUT WHY

whats its offer

[marble gyro]

And we come to a full circle ladies and gents

[visual mortar]

why would i pay for a mmorpg when i could play a free one

[proven hollow]

because people pay to play it?! like what?! are you dense?!

[visual mortar]

dude

[proven hollow]

'cause you have fun with the paid one?!

[marble gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-patrick-bateman-american-psycho-gif-7212093

[proven hollow]

'cause the free to play one uses a pay2win microtransaction system?

[visual mortar]

we have discovered that robo doesn't have an argument and has no idea what he is talking about

insane

[proven hollow]

bro is unironically wondering why people play a certain game

[visual mortar]

okay but again why would i pay monthly for this game, what does it offer differently, what are they marketing that makes it appeal to me

[marble gyro]

We also discovered that Tam also likes to waste everyone's time for a solid hour on a subject that is SUBJECTIVE

Just stop

[still current]

[proven hollow]

fun, it offers fun, tamsnappel, the literal point of playing a game

[visual mortar]

every game does

[proven hollow]

i know this concept is really confusing to you

[visual mortar]

every game also markets a specific 5hing

[haughty quiver]

Hello stalkers!
I make an experiment
I Have complete soc with only spawn mod with a lot of Duty around the zone without shoot a single bullet 👀 It works!

[visual mortar]

but we should be paying for a game subscription right

[ruby gale]

I think its just something he gets off on

[proven hollow]

no they don't, wat

[visual mortar]

lmao what

[marble gyro]

Probably, I wouldn't doubt it at this point

[visual mortar]

not every game offers fun?

what

[proven hollow]

no, you can also pay for microtransactions, or a one time buy with DLC

[still current]

https://tenor.com/view/rude-gif-17859385604188415467

[proven hollow]

fun is subjective, what is fun for one is not fun for the other

[haughty quiver]

[visual mortar]

is that not what a game tries to do

of course its subjective

[proven hollow]

do you unironically just go on the steam store and buy any game, because it'll be fun regardless of what game it is?

[visual mortar]

no lmao thats literally why im asking what does this game have to offer

[proven hollow]

fun

the subjective experience of a fun time

[visual mortar]

you are literally implying that someone plays ff just because it markets a subscription. you never said what is unique about it

[visual mortar]

.??? you just said this

what

[proven hollow]

it's fun, it's really that simple, it's fun for people

[visual mortar]

you are contradicting yourself

[visual mortar]

so i should just buy a game regardless of what game it is, because its fun

which is what you just try to call me out for

insane

[proven hollow]

... you can not be this dense, i just asked you if you do this to prove fun is subjective....

[visual mortar]

how does that prove its subjective

it is subjective

[proven hollow]

good, glad we established that

[visual mortar]

but you suggested "do you unironically buy a game regardless"

what are you proving

this is just an iq limiting conversation

[marble gyro]

It was funny at first, but now it's just going a bit far to where the fun is starting to spark up into a forest fire, can we all just shake hands already?

[still current]

Yeah, you all get a room already

[ruby gale]

Trust me, im losing braincells trying to keep up with this argument

[proven hollow]

I will explain it once more to you, games use different financial models, some use a pay to buy, with DLC's that you can buy as well, some use micro transactions, some use a free to play method, with microtransactions or premium currency, some use a subscription model, all of this is marketed and sold by appealing to a fun time for the consumer, you pay for this fun, and that's why people pay for the subscription

you don't need to pay for any subscription, others do it because the product offered is fun to them

[proven hollow]

the entire point of all these payment models is earning money and covering the backend due to resources needed, just like any product and service

[serene barn]

i feel like the people thay pay a subscription to play does so not because the game is fun but because it's the only way they can play lol.

[proven hollow]

the only way you can play a simple buy 2 play game is through paying for it as well

which you also do, if the game is fun

[vernal lily]

How's everyone doing today

[serene barn]

well yes but i think it's notable that most games is pay to get a lisense to play.

and not pay repeatedly to play.

like i can't see myself paying a sub to play a single game

[still current]

Imma start selling modulator subscription if this continue any further. 30$ a month to become a temp modulator

Pay tampico

[serene barn]

i'm already not fond of needing PS+ to play online games on PS.

[vernal lily]

$30 per message

[proven hollow]

i find that even with buy to play games i find myself paying more to keep having fun with it, i don't play stalker 2 atm, even though i had a lot of fun with it, but when I buy the DLC I will play it again

[vernal lily]

Pay up front to Rahmi

[still current]

Only front

Back is for tamp

[vernal lily]

If payment not made in less than 10 minutes you get banned

[proven hollow]

rahmi make me lvl 50

[still current]

No, bur you get demoted to a rookie and get your memory wiped

[proven hollow]

i already joined the Monolith thank you

[still current]

Only God can help you with that or mol1t

[still current]

Shame, you'll have to banned if you're already mind fried

[proven hollow]

you're simply jealous of the glory of the Monolith

[ruby gale]

You know, surprisingly not that bad all things considered, you?

[vernal lily]

I think it's mostly fine at the moment

[still current]

Couldn't be more so

[ruby gale]

[lethal bough]

Dead silent

[ruby gale]

[lethal bough]

Where the hoes at

[lethal bough]

No monolith baddies in sight

[charred nova]

But what is fun for me might be boring to you

I might enjoy scrapping paint off houses in my spare time but doubt most other people would wanna do that just for fun

[ruby gale]

Thats because you like eating the paint chips after

I guess tenor is shutting down

[bold smelt]

why

[ruby gale]

Not sure, just saw a link that said tenor API is shutting down on June and discord is switching to GIFY/KLIPY

[bold smelt]

damn so many good gifs are going to be gone

why dont they begin STOP KILLING GIFS to prevent this

[kindred fable]

Um, ackshually stop killing games doesn't force developers to keep their servers up or something like that... There's no need for stop killing gifs because you can simply save them by downloading them :D

[kindred fable]

I dunno why did I need to say that

[bold smelt]

i have them saved on tenor

[kindred fable]

Just buy the company or something

[ruby gale]

Surely you have around half a hundred mil laying around

I meant half a billion but honestly im not sure how much tenor is even worth

[tepid mauve]

Has anyone experienced a the game basically freezing during the pre-shader caching before loading into the main menu? I was playing the game earlier this afternoon with no issues. I'm trying to pick it back up again now, but when it compiles the shaders, it gets to about 80% and takes forever. I think it is making progress, but very slowly, and its' severely bogging down my entire computer.

[tepid mauve]

Aaaand it crashed.

[solemn ibex]

if GSC makes a new game, I don't think people would buy it like it was with Stalker 2
with the original trilogy GSC had a legendary track record, now it is a poopoomegadoodoo

[marble gyro]

Legendary??? Tbh I never heard of stalker series until the second one was announced

And even so, last I remember, "Legendary trilogy" as you refer, has more bugs in counting today

[solemn ibex]

u maybe are not from a CIS country
everybody knew Stalker and the only reason u heard of its existence is
CIS people supporting it all the time for us it is legendary and bugs are negligent I played since I was a kid - never had huge issues
Skyrim is legendary and more buggy than anything

[dusky pawn]

Yeah it used to be really popular all over during what I call the panslavism internet era
You know that weird period when life of boris was popular and cheeki breeki/hardbass memes were genuinely popular

[vapid galleon]

the things is, GSC will not make a new game

[iron wind]

Stalker 2 is their Skyrim now

[vapid galleon]

yes, in fact, it was stolen on the forum even before the first game came out

lol

it was famous before came out

[iron wind]

GSC will be milking Stalker for many years to come

Not sure what you mean

[grand finch]

I mean does it only respawn in late game or early game?

[proven hollow]

only late game

[grand finch]

Near end game?

[proven hollow]

post-sircaa i think

[grand finch]

Thanks bro

[serene barn]

i wanna return but hearing about how broken the spawn system is makes me not wannah lol.

[regal sinew]

There’s also a Ruby Exo suit located in a building close to the cooling towers, it’s another Duty themed exo suit, is free and can be found immediately from leaving the Lesser Zone.

[cyan sparrow]

Stalker 2: The Hope of the borken spawn

[forest tapir]

You have to silently kill a duty member and wait for one of his buddies to loot him, then kill his buddy and take the armor off of him

Unfortunately it’s really bad

I don’t think traders sell it at all, even after SIRCAA

[grand finch]

I know it’s bad but it’s a duty armour

[forest tapir]

I love duty so I only run the 9d falcon but the shield of duty is too much of a burden

I hope they change it which I’m pretty sure they will

[shell flax]

Are you using a mod? As far as I know that hasn’t been a thing for a while

[forest tapir]

Nah, I don’t use mods. I did it I think a month ago but I could definitely be wrong

[regal sinew]

Like I said, you should go for the Ruby exo. It’s a decent exo suit. I never use exos though so it was basically a decent stack of coupons for me.

[hybrid tangle]

The 5G towers starts speaking "Come to me"

[golden gulch]

The trader at Cement Factory randomly have it in stock late game, very random though

[keen path]

[forest tapir]

I’ve never seen it before, I must’ve been wrong. Thanks for the tip

[spiral ginkgo]

how are you meant to beat granite squad on veteran 😭

[serene barn]

i feel like i remember there being 2 types of Duty exo suits but i only remember seeing one of them

[proven hollow]

you lower the difficulty to rookie for that room

[spiral ginkgo]

dont you lose achievements then?

[proven hollow]

probably

[spiral ginkgo]

i dropped my only AR because it had 0 durability so i have to use em1 SVD or the shit lmg

i dont think lower difficulty would even help

[serene barn]

i remember struggling with Granite when i did my Veteran Ward run.

[spiral ginkgo]

im doing solo so i had to do all 3 bosses + these guys

[serene barn]

and now there is even another diff out, what is it, stalker diff?

[spiral ginkgo]

master i think

[serene barn]

prolly

[spiral ginkgo]

where you cant even save unless its at a bed area

[serene barn]

i need to do a Spark run but the game sounds like it's not in a good spot to play lately.

[spiral ginkgo]

ive enjoyed it but theres been a lot of annoying moments

[serene barn]

like i haven't played in like well over a year

lots of things was done in that time

but like....hordes of mutants just doesn't sound fun

which sucks because i was kind of excited to return to see the changes.

[spiral ginkgo]

i havent seen that at all to be honest

[serene barn]

i've seen clips

one had like 14 or something burers in 1 place

[spiral ginkgo]

nah most ive seen is the 3 at orbita and 2 that jump you on wild island

but i just used the rpg nearby to kill wild island ones

[serene barn]

idk how well i remember Orbita but the Wild island ones i do because they're scripted

the issue is the ones the game will randomly spawn in.

basically i was thinking about seeing if i could finish a run before the dlc because i wouldn't want to do the dlc as a spark run, not sure if it would affect it but

LOOK A TREE IS TYPING

OAKTREE TYPING? WHAT IN THE.... ROOTS!

[raven monolith]

Pretty sure people who complain on hordes of mutants mod the game to spawn 14 bloodsuckers in one place for engagement farming

[serene barn]

i don't think so lol.

like it's a confirmed issue

[raven monolith]

Never happened to me, and I don't believe that stuff is random enough to happen often to one particular player but not to the other. Especially the 'burer horde' stories, because their spawns are exclusively scripted lol

[serene barn]

there is also issues with the telekinetic mutants being able to throw things through walls.

[proven hollow]

it happened to me though, and i never used mods

and it's even a bug that GSC claims they fixed

[raven monolith]

Oh that I did encounter

I think there's a big issue with projectiles overall, because it's hard to find cover from bullets too, npcs just shoot through walls

[dreamy dagger]

Lmao

[raven monolith]

Scam link much?

[dreamy dagger]

Yep

[serene barn]

yeah enemies shooting people through things they shouldn't seems like it's been an issue for a while too

[dreamy dagger]

YOU DONT SCAM THE OAK TREE, JACKASS

The Oak tree ain't dumb

[serene barn]

it's like they don't believe the truck is there so nor do their bullets lol.

[raven monolith]

Realistically some walls obviously wouldn't protect from bullets, like wood n such, but from gameplay perspective it's annoying when you don't know what to hide behind

[serene barn]

oh i am all for realism where bullets can punch through things but it's gotta make flipping sense.

wooden fence? sure, through brick walls? mmm, that whole truck motor? eeeeeeh no

like the brick buildings aren't made with cinderblocks

[empty hare]

I got lit up by 9x18 through a garage, penn'd 2 separate 8" thick solid brick walls and hosed me

[raven monolith]

Would be cool if each weapon's penetration was reflected in what cover it can get through, but I wouldn't count on gsc to go that in depth on it

[serene barn]

i wonder if they even made it so rounds that go punch through things lose damage

[dreamy dagger]

YOU GOT PENETRATED

[proven hollow]

relax

[hoary crest]

Many, MANY games have tried that over the years an it pretty much always boils down to basically only effecting big-bore rounds. Even intermediate rounds will dumpster a cinderblock wall with a few AP rounds, but its never shown as such when such mechanics are built

that was my breakfast fatty

[main jewel]

answer here: ||uhh yo so idk bro||

[serene barn]

idk, calling it an rpg at all feels like a stretch

[kindred violet]

Imo its like 4 or 5 core gamestyles put into one

[serene barn]

or maybe it's me, like for me an rpg is like, something that has skills and other things that play into it being a Role Playing Game. i don't feel like looking for guns and armor and talking to people is really enough to make it an RPG

gonna try to boot up the game and see how it runs. i updates some Nvidia thing earlier that supposedly adjusted the settings to play off of my specs.

[marble gyro]

What's the date?

[wind thunder]

april 25th 2026

[marble gyro]

Thank you

[kindred violet]

Yeah, id say thats pretty accurate. And the other elements id say are survival horror/sci-fi horror/looter shooter and clearly fps.

what else can I say except youre welcome

[gusty seal]

We need a radio system like in fallout games and cp2077

[full vale]

More Women in Stalker 2?

[river chasm]

There are radios in the hubs. There's also another series of missions where you can tune into a radio station but the music sucks

[main jewel]

[gusty seal]

I mean like listening to the radio while walking around

[main jewel]

kyne has a mod

for that

[gusty seal]

[kindred violet]

That radio mod is broken on xbox too

[main jewel]

well i have lootable and craftable so

[kindred violet]

Haven't tried either of those, though knowing my luck they would also somehow be broken for me

[visual mortar]

THEY SHOULD ADD SMOKIN HOT LATINA BABES TO STALKER 2

[main jewel]

true

i wonder if gsc is gunna keep women as traders

rather than roaming around stalkers

[meager crag]

I cast Scarlet Flower

[main jewel]

he looks so sad

[keen path]

[visual mortar]

nothing but joyous glee from him

[charred nova]

they need to bring the scarlet flower back

and give skif the option to use it

[main jewel]

they need to turn skif into a more emotional person with his va

skif is not that nonchalant and cool

[keen path]

hi lexa

[main jewel]

hi steam happy

[keen path]

[shell flax]

he isn’t though, he sounds exhausted at the best of times

[main jewel]

i wanna hear skif be sad

or be loud

[keen path]

[main jewel]

not hurrbrllee

hurrrbbeell

hurrbbeell

[shell flax]

you really don’t pay attention

[main jewel]

skif sounds robotic in the eng

[charred nova]

nah they make skif seem like he has autism

[charred nova]

because of how bad he is at keeping a proper tone

[raven halo]

So are they just not updating alife anymore

[charred nova]

in a conversation

[shell flax]

Actually the stupidest take I’ve heard, what

[charred nova]

not till the engine update comes out no

[main jewel]

skif voice acting is okay, but it isnt the greatest thing

[visual mortar]

nope they decided that yarp didn't deserve it so we all don't. thanks a lot dude

[raven halo]

wow

[charred nova]

why would they any work they put into the current build of the game is effectively wasted

[raven halo]

you're welcome, always glad to make you upset

[charred nova]

as it will all be scrapped once the engine update drops

[main jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/boomhauer-drinking-koth-king-of-the-hill-gif-16578479222949967941

[raven halo]

so we just wait for the forseeable future to maybe possibly see improvements?

[shell flax]

you wait til summer

[raven halo]

especially seeing as 1.9 seems to have been shelved

[charred nova]

oh there will be improvements that is not up for debate

[river chasm]

Just not til the new engine version releases really

[charred nova]

however will there be updates before the dlc almost certainly no

[raven halo]

1.9 was supposed to come out like a month ago

[charred nova]

it's already out

where you been

[shell flax]

1.9 was never gonna be a big update

[charred nova]

but if you are hoping for fixes

1.9 provides basically zero

[shell flax]

It was a content drop to tide us over til the DLC

[visual mortar]

jack the pickled Turkish skin is late on its shipment again

[shell flax]

Like I said, I imagine the team is gonna be heads down til June at the earliest

[charred nova]

ill contact fed ex and see what's going on

[charred nova]

gotta account for gsc to delay like they always do

so probably not till august

[shell flax]

AT THE EARLIEST

[main jewel]

what if gsc releases it early

and its the best patch ever

then the dlc comes shortly after

[charred nova]

well its the first patch you have to pay for

[river chasm]

August/September still my guess for the dlc

[main jewel]

then sdk and all that stuff

[charred nova]

so id hope it's amazing

[main jewel]

you dont have to pay for the engine update

but the dlc yuh

[charred nova]

true

[main jewel]

the engine update is free

the dlc is paid

but i preordered every dlc since like a year or so ago

[river chasm]

My old job overpaid me for holiday overtime once so they bought me the ultimate edition

[serene barn]

welp, am sad to see the game still doesn't run well on my pc.

[charred nova]

we are all brainless consumers

[visual mortar]

except for ME

[charred nova]

tbf that is probably accurate

your not quite my buddy but getting you to spend money is like pulling teeth

he's got probably closing in on like 200k dollars in his bank

and he will never spend a single cent of it

[visual mortar]

what do I need to spend money on

[charred nova]

me baby

[visual mortar]

you're not a Latina

i wouldn't buy you things

[charred nova]

well i tried

[serene barn]

ouch, my frames

sub 20 frames during the Zalissya bar cutscene when you first get there

[iron wind]

GSC, GSC never changes

[charred nova]

bro just dropping he's a brokee smh

[serene barn]

i mean i guess i didn't spend as much on it as i could've nor knew anything about specs at all but like, why should i need something more than a 3070 and some other things just to get 60+ on this game lol.

shoulda picked another CPU too but i didn't know.

[iron wind]

settlements in S2 are all like this (:

[kindred fable]

It's because these cutscenes are generated by A-Life behaviour, they aren't scripted

The dialogue is generated in real time too

And they don't even use LLMs for that

Just a little bit of code from old xray builds that was transferred to UE5...

[serene barn]

i'm not new to the game i just haven't played in a whole year and thought that performance would've gone up a little.

[iron wind]

wait for 2.0

then maybe cities will improve

Welp... after using up 4 guns worth of durability headshotting the Fausts, I have come to understand that you need to shoot the lantern.

[slender aurora]

Hi ✌️ does anyone know when the multiplayer will be released? Because initially they said it would be added for free after the game's release.

[sharp sierra]

They need to work on the economy I shouldn't be making more hunting mutants vs trading top tier artifacts lol seriously up the prices for artifacts. Incidentally if you need hornheads the 1 at the heli base just keeps respawning when you return to your stash at the pioneers camp.

[dusky pawn]

He is meant to respawn but yes its a good strat

[craggy raven]

How are you even finding enough mutant parts to equal a rare artifact? I'm lucky if I can collect 1 part from a group of 10.

Does anyone know if the weird flower need to be kept ont he belt for the effect to stay, and how long it lasts?

[drifting bear]

300 real seconds

[sharp sierra]

I just kept every part I could find and went farming so everytime I am in an area with a top tier mutant be it chimera, giant ect I kill it

And they respawn really fast lol doesn't work as well for low tier mutants but if you only use the parts with Gonta and malachite you should be ok

[graceful fossil]

Today is the anniversary

[indigo oriole]

How’s game state right now ? Is it worth to get back on it ?

[drifting bear]

If you want really new content then wait DLC

[indigo oriole]

They said summer but August or July ?

And we need engine updates echh

Cant wait for the new Metro.
4A Games never made a bad game so far.
Worldbuilding and stories always interesting.
This time it looks like they incorporate real world events into it, which will surely fit and its surely coming finished and not in a state which is still disappointing and dishonest, like a certain legendary title from an Ukrainian Developer, who still refuses to be honest that we got sold an Early Access version and not a finished game, with one of the worst video game stories I ever experienced.
I like to support the cause financially, but I dont believe that I will ever experience a true Stalker 2 or will ever trust GSC with other games, the way they treated the customers.

[agile estuary]

I just lost 200 hours of progress in my Stalker 2 playthrough one of my hard drives that had steam and its files on it died, my other drive had my other games (STALKER 2) but not the saves so i lost my progress

Im going to play the first few stalkers and then get back into 2 might aswell

[stray sierra]

Ah well. Maybe wait for the UE5 upgrade and play again? That's what I'm doing. Haven't played since launch. I finished it but would like a more polished playthrough so i wait.

[agile estuary]

cant wait

[proven hollow]

yeah i'd just wait for the DLC and engine update at that point as well

[agile estuary]

yeah played through launch aswell thjen got back to it when they released nightvison barely incounterd bugs it was great huge shame I couldnt finish it the second time

[agile estuary]

yeah ill play the first few then play it again for the dls update

There's night vision.... 👀 Oh lord don't tempt me 😂

[proven hollow]

the best part is that you can get the highest tier nightvision right after leaving the lesser zone

[naive summit]

if there is currently 3 endings in game, does it mean if i choose to play cost of hope will it make it so that i can still stick with 3 other base game endings or im tunneled into 2 -3 separate endings?

[stray sierra]

Ofcourse you can lol. I assume that'll be patched to pripyat by the time I play again

[proven hollow]

isn't a bug though

[proven hollow]

cost of hope has no bearing on the ending afaik

Oh no? Damn fair enough. Just seems a little OP to me. The fun in stalker is walking around with gen 1 nods all fuzzy and stumbling your way to a victory imo

is prypyat playable currently like can i go there and explore it?

you love those

my desktop kept freezing, screen went white took it to a tec and later found out it was the gpu \

[stray sierra]

I do. History is interesting and you can't be interested in stalker without being interested in history unless you just want a shooter game.

[vapid furnace]

Yeah i love getting excited thinking its content related just to be hit woth something else

[agile estuary]

so valid

[stray sierra]

1000% disassemble the GPU, put it in the oven and bake that bad boy. Sounds like you might have had solder joints coming loose on the board. Look up some YT tutorials on it. Just make sure to give your oven a thorough clean afterwards.... I mean the cards already dead, can't hurt 🤷🏻

[proven hollow]

i suppose, but Chernobyl history kind of pisses me off as well since it's just absolute human incompetence tuned to the maximum that caused it

does the stalker 2 track how many VARTA people and bandits and loners i kill?

[agile estuary]

i was contemplating on puttting it in my microwave getting a new one anytways

these words are to big for my small brain 😭

[stray sierra]

I mean it would make a pretty funny video. But you could also save the card if the oven trick works and now you can sell one. 🤷🏻 Up to you where you value lies, money or entertainment 😂

[agile estuary]

true ill give it a think overnight

[stray sierra]

I don't think being communist has anything to do with. It was just human incompetence. No matter what your belief system is, we're all people at the end of the day, someone could've said no before we got to that point. Same as every nuclear incident. Just humans man.

[stray sierra]

If you do it please video it lol. I'm not encouraging it but I gotta see

[agile estuary]

dont tempt me im really close to doing it but i also wanna do that oven trick

[stray sierra]

Try the oven trick first. Worst case scenario it doesn't work and you blow it up anyway. Best case scenario, you fix the card and still decide to blow it up anyway

[agile estuary]

nice thank you

it very much did, the authoritarian communist system in place laid the groundwork for the blind obedience of the workers to party installed officials managing the plant, the unwillingness to admit mistakes were made and as consequence the unwillingness to properly handle the problem

True. Different people take different lessons from life. Some good and some bad. If you focus on the bad, you'll miss the good. Not saying don't keep abreast of it, just don't focus your energy on it.

Dude. You can absolutely debate politics of you want. Go ahead. By all means. I'm not stopping you.

I just don't want to debate it. Why is that so hard to understand. You can debate all the politics you want with anyone you want. I won't engage in it is what I'm saying.

[smoky hawk]

[stray sierra]

I mean he's free to break the rules. I didn't say it wasnt against the rules I said he's free to debate it and get banned 🤷🏻

[proven hollow]

i always considered that rule as "don't discuss unrelated politics", obviously the chernobyl disaster and even the factions in the game have certain political convictions or at least allude to it

[spiral ginkgo]

it does seem odd when like 150 employees were killed during production and the game is very political

[vapid galleon]

👆 💯

[smoky hawk]

we try to be lenient but dont go too hard and cause a shitstorm

[proven hollow]

when have i ever?

[stray sierra]

Agreed. We can talk about the game world and it's lore and history surrounding it. I just prefer not to engage in it as evidenced by my words being twisted already and I didn't even say anything.

[vapid galleon]

real life politics, not in game

Zone propaganda is allowed

[proven hollow]

but, saykee, twisting words is the definition of politics

[stray sierra]

Hence why I don't engage with it 🤷🏻

[stray sierra]

You won't catch me licking streloks feet

[spiral ginkgo]

smert voroham monolit 🗣️

[craggy raven]

Weird... I just got struck by lightning when picking up the weird bolt in my inventory.

[proven hollow]

thank god, i'm allowed to praise the glory of the monolith, a totalitarian hive mind hostile to every other group out there demanding absolute obedience while aggressively purging the zone of all people who don't join them

[vapid galleon]

👍

[stray sierra]

Lightning bolt? 😂

[craggy raven]

Maybe. But it's not like there was a storm. I was near a chemical anomoly field.

[proven hollow]

lightning bolts on master instakill with lower tier armor 😛

[stray sierra]

Na I mean it's no longer a weird bolt, it's a bolt of lightning now 😂 sorry I phrased it weirdly the first time.

[stray sierra]

Guess I'm playing master next run 👀

[craggy raven]

O I see lol. The pun passed me by because I was genuinly thinking about a lightning stike.

[tame panther]

You would catch me

[stray sierra]

I could've worded it better to. Need to work on my dad joke delivery.

[stray sierra]

Catch you lacking maybe. I didn't say I wouldn't be doing it. Just said you'd never catch me

[fringe nymph]

Buh

[stray sierra]

Gotta do what you gotta do for them roubles man

[fringe nymph]

The Buh wasn’t for anything about the game

[potent raptor]

why is the road to Prypiat from Yaniv so irradiated
I got maximum radiation protection on a Diamond Exoskeleton but I die before I can even pop an AntiRad

[fringe nymph]

It was for the conversation I had to read to catch up.

[stray sierra]

About the feet? Like I said, 20 roubles is 20 roubles man. If you're talking about the politics... Yeah..

[fringe nymph]

Not about the feet, about the politics.

[tame panther]

Feet politics

[stray sierra]

Yeah, anyway we'll just move on from that....

[fringe nymph]

“Political” talk is often so stupid it doesn’t even realize it’s starting point

[stray sierra]

Now this guy knows ball

[stray sierra]

Are you a right foot or a left foot? Maybe we could share strelok?

[fringe nymph]

My entire opinion on the current conflict boils down to: poor common folk. None of them wanted this.

[stray sierra]

Amen brother or sister.

[tame panther]

Im a right foot enjoyer myself

[fringe nymph]

War is decided by those who have the money to not be on the line, not the people who actually risk themselves, regardless of the conflict that is the subject.

[dusky pawn]

Depends on the country

[stray sierra]

I'm willing to concede the right foot on Tues through Friday. But I gotta have weekends

[tame panther]

Deal

[fringe nymph]

I can think of very few countries that have gone to war with large support from its people. All of them are defensive.

[sly mist]

why not both

[dusky pawn]

Ordinary people's decision are not inconsequential in democracies even if they arent the most important

[stray sierra]

And so the zone finally saw peace...

[tame panther]

Well if i HAD to choose
It'd be thw right

[dusky pawn]

Argentina and the falklands ?

[fringe nymph]

Yet their decisions and options often mean very little.

[vestal smelt]

everyone should watch HBO show Chernobyl

Its great work of art

[stray sierra]

Okay man. We are talking about feet in a stalker game. Not other countries politics...

[fringe nymph]

Falklands is one, yes.

[dusky pawn]

Yeah its p good

[fringe nymph]

I said that directly in response to what someone else said.

[vestal smelt]

Feet as in feet pics

[stray sierra]

Man knows what he likes and takes it.

[dusky pawn]

RBMKs are such fascinating weird lil things

[tame panther]

However i may be more busy sitting under Docent Suslov's desk than Strelok

[frigid hill]

fivesaturn45255 has been warned

Reason: Posted an invite

[stray sierra]

Specifically streloks

[fringe nymph]

Get him outta here (the link guy)

[potent raptor]

why are there always so many porn server invites

[stray sierra]

Damn. Didn't know you were down like that

[dusky pawn]

Kill that fivesaturn guy @charred nova

[vestal smelt]

you know it

[sly mist]

stalkers try not to be gay challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[dusky pawn]

(Im pinging you specifically cause you're active)

[stray sierra]

Just cause you can't kiss your homies goodnight

[frigid hill]

sexovie has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tame panther]

My nickname is Akim Cocksucker for a reason

[fringe nymph]

My turn?

[sly mist]

damn it was such a perfect answer

[vestal smelt]

You also need to clean your homies rifle

[stray sierra]

I snuggle next to the fire with my stalker for "warmth"

[vestal smelt]

And talk about the weather

[stray sierra]

Always kiss the homies goodnight bro. Always.

[tame panther]

@turbid sun can confirm it
Right buddy?

[stray sierra]

I did not notice. I am in the presence of royalty, clearly. 👀

[fringe nymph]

Honestly, if the zone was real, I'd try. Probably die, but worth it tbh.

[stray sierra]

10000000% same

[tame panther]

The Zone is real
Just not the same as in the game...

[fringe nymph]

Probably gotta hold a cool rock before I died.

[proven hollow]

removing snork feet was the biggest down grade in the series tbh

[stray sierra]

Semantics

[fringe nymph]

This could mean a lot.

[stray sierra]

Look what they took from us...

[tame panther]

I never gave them to Ballsackarov

Also removing mutant 0arts from the other 2 games was sadge

[turbid sun]

what?

[tame panther]

I sit under your desk every day right

[stray sierra]

This man saying he cleans your rifle for you so you have time to inspect his foxhole. Is this true?

[turbid sun]

THIS IS WHAT YOU TWO ARE TALKING ABOUT??

[fringe nymph]

My turn?

[proven hollow]

get a room you two

[tame panther]

Yes

[stray sierra]

Yes

[fringe nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/me-my-gif-20231818

Damn, didn't work ;-;.

[turbid sun]

No

[fringe nymph]

Saved from the licky tongue.

[tame panther]

Embed failure laugh at this user

[stray sierra]

So what your saying is... You don't kiss the homies goodnight?

[tame panther]

He LIES i have proof

[turbid sun]

kissing homies for goodnight is something else
