[prime spade]

no, I literally look at them like that

[narrow tartan]

You're 100% the emo kid

[pseudo rivet]

Loners are Loners, Neutrals are Neutrals, Diggers are Diggers, etc.

[prime spade]

the AI is pretty stupid, so it's easy to abuse them

[silent crescent]

befriend Mercs kill them repeat

and be friends with Loners

[narrow tartan]

What was up with the whole Mercs work for NATO theory?

[silent crescent]

or Duty

[pseudo rivet]

Nothing more than fan-theories

You know how those can be

[prime spade]

I think it's 'blue=NATO'

at least, that's how people look at it

[pseudo rivet]

Like some idiots thinking Charon is Scar

[narrow tartan]

Man, I hope the Black Slugs make it into 2. They seemed really interesting.

[pseudo rivet]

Again, non-canon

[narrow tartan]

That's why I said I hope they make it into 2.

[pseudo rivet]

Trust me, they won't

[narrow tartan]

:(((

[prime spade]

you can probably expect the factions to be more or less the same as previous games I think

[pseudo rivet]

Speaking of, why aren't you interested in eco-stalkers?

It's a neat concept

[narrow tartan]

Eco-S.T.A.L.K.E.Rs?

[pseudo rivet]

Knowing how "AAA quality" games tend to be, I assume they'll be totally overhauled

[pseudo rivet]

Stalkers working for the Ecologists

If you're interested in something more military, I suggest Military Stalkers

[prime spade]

let's just hope this game doesn't end up being like the average 2021-2023 FPS games

[narrow tartan]

Oh, I know what you're talking about then.

[narrow tartan]

I've heard about those guys.

[pseudo rivet]

Kinda fear it will, but with the time put into it, it could turn out pretty interesting

[silent crescent]

Stalker 2 will be on the same map as the OG games isnt it?

[prime spade]

these last couple years have been a pretty big disappointment as I see major series and my favorite games dying off because of lazy AAA studio mindset of pushing it out quicker and worrying about the actual game later

[narrow tartan]

Maybe. Rostok is there.

[silent crescent]

thats the only place i want

[pseudo rivet]

They're soldiers who took special training after service in the Zone or stalkers who were contracted by the army. They study the causes and consequences of the disaster, and also map the Zone.

[prime spade]

it's going to be 60 square km's, so I think it will be that alongside some new places

[silent crescent]

sounds great

lets just hope that big open world wont be completely empty like Ubisoft's recent games

[prime spade]

actually, a lot of new places to fill the landscape, since the map will be pretty large by itself on release

[narrow tartan]

I love Rostok. I remember making my first voyage there. I thought it was going to be a simple little bar lol.

[prime spade]

who knows what their future is for the game, but they do seem pretty committed to a long dev time after release with new additions

[pseudo rivet]

Well, CoP's map doesn't fit into SoC's and CS' map, so I fear they'll overhaul the entire map

[pseudo rivet]

64, I believe

[prime spade]

the bigger the better

[pseudo rivet]

The Zone has grown after Strelok's screw-up

[silent crescent]

i dont have memories like this im kinda new to the series sadly (i started with EFP that made me love Stalker games)

now im playing CS

[pseudo rivet]

CS my beloved

[prime spade]

it's 2023, so the zone is probably already in kyiv

[narrow tartan]

I played SOC from October to December last year.

[silent crescent]

i always heard that CS is the worst out of the trilogy

[narrow tartan]

It is. You can probably just skip it.

[pseudo rivet]

And you've heard that from idiots

[silent crescent]

nah im havin fun with it

[narrow tartan]

I basically got soft-locked.

[pseudo rivet]

You absolute hypocrite, ISG was planned for CS

[silent crescent]

LMAO

[narrow tartan]

Yeah? What about it?

[hazy helm]

I dont know why bc there is no concept to like tbh

[narrow tartan]

Just because I like ISG doesn't mean CS is automatically good.

[silent crescent]

i also need to buy the other 2 games when i'll have sum money

[pseudo rivet]

I demand you to respect my personal favorite game in the series, because I am the local CS gatekeeper

[hazy helm]

my friend,if you want a cool group
use the Shammans

[pseudo rivet]

Shaman Gang

[hazy helm]

become a hermit,be cool

[narrow tartan]

International scientists and soldiers, man! Coming into a hostile anomalous zone, working in secrecy.

[pseudo rivet]

[hazy helm]

LAAAME

[silent crescent]

who are those?

[hazy helm]

a lone dude walking into the nroth of the zone with a dog and comingb back without any weapons?

cool asf!

[narrow tartan]

oh ok

[silent crescent]

me with my dumbahh questions lmao

[hazy helm]

NOW THAST A STORY!

[pseudo rivet]

Duders who coexist with the Zone

[prime spade]

so like mutants with more brain cells

[pseudo rivet]

Mutants don't attack them, nor does the Zone Itself

[sturdy zodiac]

Zona Druids

[hazy helm]

Shammans are those stalkers who can coexist with the zone,at times even without weilding weapons,and walk in it without ever stepping into a anomaly

[pseudo rivet]

Homo Sapiens

Humans, like you and me

[prime spade]

lies

[silent crescent]

no thats me

[pseudo rivet]

Truth, you'd know if you studied the lore of the game

[pseudo rivet]

Wait, you want to kill yourself? Duty moment

[hazy helm]

I hope Chekov finished his research and we get more info on them

[prime spade]

they're always depressed in duty

[hazy helm]

and we get more stories where the UN is dunked on

just absolutely humiliated

[pseudo rivet]

CoP Moment

[hazy helm]

driving the point home that only a special kind of person comes to the zone

[silent crescent]

yes

[hazy helm]

[pseudo rivet]

Nice, one less threat to the Zone

[silent crescent]

ikr

[narrow tartan]

my mommy said i was special so that's why i came to the zone

[hazy helm]

she was right,you special

[pseudo rivet]

She's not wrong

[pseudo rivet]

🤝

[narrow tartan]

that's why i'm also a dj peach cobbler fan

[prime spade]

w0t

[pseudo rivet]

He used to be here in the server, actually

[prime spade]

I understand where the love for peach cobbler comes from, but what is the DJ

[narrow tartan]

DJ Peach Cobbler is our holy femboy god you degenerate

[hazy helm]

well I stopped talking to Peach Cobbler when he deleted his discord

[prime spade]

I will not question the cult further

[hazy helm]

hope hes doin awright

[modern mauve]

[narrow tartan]

He's doing his usual, killing stray cats etc

[prime spade]

[silent crescent]

average Duty impression

[narrow tartan]

Is Monolith actually bad though?

Just thought of this.

[pseudo rivet]

Nah

[modern mauve]

No, we just want to ensure your safety by keeping you away.

[pseudo rivet]

Nah as well

[silent crescent]

or by killing you

[narrow tartan]

C-Conciousness is pretty evil, but at least they're controlling The Zone.

[prime spade]

tbf, if you think about it, everyone in the zone ain't exactly good or bad

[pseudo rivet]

It's just that some are definitely worse than others

[narrow tartan]

Yeah. Even the Military isn't that bad.

[silent crescent]

everyone is bad for a particular person and good for another one

[pseudo rivet]

Like Duty

[narrow tartan]

That's why I love S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

[prime spade]

duty are zone larpers incoming hate

[pseudo rivet]

It's true, though

[narrow tartan]

Fallout 4 could have learned some things from S.T.A.L.K.E.R

[silent crescent]

like?

[narrow tartan]

Making factions, factions.

[pseudo rivet]

The Zone attacked them because they attacked the Zone, then got salted for getting boo-hoo'd in self-defense

[pseudo rivet]

Fallout 4 should first try to be a finished game

[silent crescent]

that would've been just Stalker in a different world after all

and with different faction names

[narrow tartan]

Instead of injecting every faction with flaws to try to create a discussion, they should have done the S.T.A.L.K.E.R route and make what can be seen as flaws as good.

[prime spade]

everyone was so emotionally scarred that they forgot about fallout 76 when they saw how bad it was

I hope starfield doesn't end up like 76 did

[modern mauve]

I redownloades both fallout 3 a new Vegas and want to see how many graphics overhaul mods I can get on them to see if they can look up to date

[narrow tartan]

That reminds me of the time I had a dream about S.T.A.L.K.E.R

[prime spade]

I refuse to believe this man has not been touched by the C-Con

[modern mauve]

I still say 3 is the best, the atmosphere is on point

[pseudo rivet]

Honestly, F76 was released too early. There are a couple of complaints I have about the game, but there are also thinks I definitely liked about it

[narrow tartan]

Hail Monolith

[pseudo rivet]

Fallut 3 and Fallout Tactics GANG

[narrow tartan]

NV and 3 are awesome

[prime spade]

it definitely turned out decent, but the release was absolutely abysmal. If they had waited a few months I think it would have been great

too bad first impressions make or break a game (same way with BF 2042 and BF 5)

[pseudo rivet]

I personally didn't experience any problems at launch, only shortly afterwards

[narrow tartan]

76's environment is too bloomy for being hit by Chinese nuclear missiles

[pseudo rivet]

Enemies regaining health, for example

[narrow tartan]

And 4's

[pseudo rivet]

It's never exactly explained, yeah

[modern mauve]

Nv is good, it feels more alive, whereas 3 makes you feel like your actually alone in an empty wasteland

[pseudo rivet]

NV is literally "follow the road"

[prime spade]

the global warming activists designed the bombs obviously

[narrow tartan]

They said West Virginia wouldn't be a target for nukes despite the CIA headquarters being there

If you're going to behead the United States you go after the CIA

[pseudo rivet]

Well, uh, some nukes did hit West Virginia

Not to mention the constant bombardment caused by the Vault Dwellers

Speaking of F76, seen this?
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/7/7e/Art-bully-productions-free-state-ninja-final.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20230803080632

[modern mauve]

I also bought Atom rpg and the sequel recently, decent games but very Old school and progression is slow

[narrow tartan]

I thought it was pretty genius in 3 to have the Enclave based in Raven Rock.

[modern mauve]

Enclave has cool power armor

Look like Predator

[hazy helm]

I need to ask tho

[modern mauve]

Ask away and the Wish Granter will answer your calls.

[pseudo rivet]

Which version specifically?

[pseudo rivet]

I know it's Atomic Shop, but I wonder where the Free States Vault Dwellers got that armor from

Feels a bit out of theme for the Free States

Then again, paranoid doomsday prepping conspiracy theorists dressed up as a knight ninja?

Ultra Based

[silent crescent]

[blissful ember]

Is it necessary to install mods type one that I hear called complete mod for the games to work well?

[silent crescent]

idk what you mean but i play Clear Sky without any mods

[pseudo rivet]

Uh, could you rephrase that? I didn't get any of that

[hazy helm]

its uncessecery to install mods but,if you need to
ZRP for SoC and SRP for CS
Complete is old and even then it was quite bad

[pseudo rivet]

But in case you want to play Complete, please don't

[silent crescent]

[blissful ember]

So you don't need any mod?

[pseudo rivet]

Not specifically needed, no

[hazy helm]

in case of Clear Sky,you CANNOT play with complete bc it has persistent crashes in Limansk which is not a problem in the og

[pseudo rivet]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/439558334341709839/1141035190647521372/Bolt.jpg

[sturdy zodiac]

Bolt.jpg is out of order

[blissful ember]

at least I'm going to play the first

[silent crescent]

[blissful ember]

According to you, do I install a mod to make it look better or do I leave it like that?

[hazy helm]

aye
if youre still paranoid the only one I can recommend is ZRP,and if you do keep in kind that freeplay after the game is finished is a ZRP addition
if you wanna go complete vanilla,just dont use consumables while looting corpses and you should be fine

[hazy helm]

no visual or gameplay mods

[sturdy zodiac]

!

[blissful ember]

For the record, I haven't even opened the game, but I'll take that into account

[pseudo rivet]

I suggest starting with SoC, then CS and lastly CoP

AKA release order

[blissful ember]

but what is that, I don't know anything about games

[hazy helm]

release order is best olrder yhea

[silent crescent]

!!!!!

[hazy helm]

Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl
Clear Sky
Call of Pripyat

[pseudo rivet]

Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat

[silent crescent]

Shadow of Chernobyl (first game) Clear Sky (2nd) Call of Pripyat (the last one)

[pseudo rivet]

SoC, CS and CoP

[blissful ember]

I mean, for the moment, nothing of the gamma type or anomaly

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, those are mods that should be enjoyed after you've played the original games

To prevent lore confusion

[blissful ember]

i just opened the game and the menu looks brutal like metro

[silent crescent]

which game?

[blissful ember]

Shadow of Chernobyl

[pseudo rivet]

Be sure to use Q and E to look around corners, Control + Shift to low crouch and G to drop your weapon so you can manually switch to another weapon faster

G is pretty situational, though

[worn oar]

I should fire you from duty ranks for this alone

[pseudo rivet]

Are you saying all Dutyers should be heretics?

[blissful ember]

I honestly saw that and instantly did a dance

[worn oar]

Wrong

For mentioning isg and saying he doesn't play abnomaly

[silent crescent]

Duty on top (cant forget tho)

[worn oar]

@pseudo rivet guess he played EFP or gamma and missed some facts. Lol

That's why I want to fire him

[worn oar]

Good spirit soldier

[blissful ember]

Are the military bad?

[silent crescent]

No

[sand crest]

Д.

[blissful ember]

the pistol disappointed me

[silent crescent]

[sand crest]

Шраф

Bolt.

[silent crescent]

Шраф

[worn oar]

The chat has gone red

[silent crescent]

[sand fiber]

depends

[blissful ember]

of what?, and because there are winds that hurt

[silent crescent]

those are anomalies

[silent crescent]

faction

[blissful ember]

how do you get that out

[blissful ember]

Ooohhh

[hazy helm]

you dont get anomalies,anomalies are little pockets on the map that damage you,they come in various shapes and forms

if you hear a beep youre getting closer to one

avoid them

[silent crescent]

you can also see if there are anomalies if you throw around

but after a while bolts are kinda useless since you know where anomalies are

[blissful ember]

So can I just avoid them?

[silent crescent]

yes

you can go around them

[errant canyon]

You can

[blissful ember]

and where do i keep things

[onyx vault]

I keep Q & E as is.
Keep X sprint.
Set Tab to inventory.
Set Ctrl to always crouch.
Keep Shift walk & crouch lower.
Set T to weapon fire mode.
Set Y to swap ammo type.
Set Z to grenade launcher.
Set C to quick bandage.
Set V to quick medkit.
Set N to contacts.
Set G to flashlight.
Set H to Nightvision.

[silent crescent]

well i just keep shit i need on myself and drop what i dont need

[pseudo rivet]

"How can I remove anomalies from the game?"

Lmao based

[silent crescent]

ong

[hazy helm]

press i

[pseudo rivet]

I for Inventory

[silent crescent]

how do i remove Monolith from existence?

[pseudo rivet]

I wish for the Zone to disappear

[onyx vault]

Where do I find the Pipboy?

[hazy helm]

lel

[pseudo rivet]

Depends on which model you're looking for

[hazy helm]

wait

you know what

we COULD

[silent crescent]

CNPP

[hazy helm]

make a pipboy model for the PDA

IDEA!

[pseudo rivet]

Which model?

[blissful ember]

no but save them so that it does not weigh

[onyx vault]

Make a FatMan too

[hazy helm]

?

[onyx vault]

Stash or Blue Boxes.

[silent crescent]

just put them into a container at a place where you go a lot

[pseudo rivet]

I like this guy, he makes no sense

[silent crescent]

so yes blue boxes

[onyx vault]

What game are they currently playing?

[pseudo rivet]

SoC

[silent crescent]

SoC he playin

[pseudo rivet]

He ballin' on SoC

[silent crescent]

My honest reaction:

[pseudo rivet]

Dude, go yourself

[hazy helm]

thjis is such a moment

[silent crescent]

[pseudo rivet]

[blissful ember]

Ohhh, to save the 90 pistols of rare guys

[silent crescent]

no i'll you

why would you pick up that many pistols?

[pseudo rivet]

You can't do that, I'm 'd up

[spark zealot]

New game leak: there will be a black screen and two white bars, a ball will bounce back and forth and it will be called pong.

[silent crescent]

[pseudo rivet]

Because he's a PMm collector, just like moi

[onyx vault]

@blissful ember
I just started SoC also. I'm new to the games.
I set up a stash box at the Duty checkpoint at the North Gate in the Garage. I keep 9×18 & 9×19 ammo and weapons there to explore the surrounding areas.
Once you get to the bar then I would keep everything else there.
I haven't gotten much further than that yet.

[silent crescent]

has anyone completed the games with only a PMM?

[onyx vault]

I only collect unique weapons with the ⬆️

We need an emoji with the green unique item arrow.

[pseudo rivet]

Definitely

[silent crescent]

that calls for a

[onyx vault]

What about with only the knife

[pseudo rivet]

And with the knife

[blissful ember]

I keep guns and cans in a blue box in town

[silent crescent]

look at my meme in #🤨┃stalker_memes and that will be your answer

[onyx vault]

What about with only the

[pseudo rivet]

Definitely not

[blissful ember]

And what do I do with an artifact called petrified blood?

[pseudo rivet]

Keep them or sell them

Now, how about retrieving the documents from Agroprom without getting detected and without killing anyone?

[silent crescent]

[hazy helm]

you can use it or sell it
artiacts have up and downsides with most of them giving you radiations which will take away your health

[blissful ember]

So I better sell this thing

[onyx vault]

Has anybody actually killed Strelok tho?

[pseudo rivet]

Depends

[pseudo rivet]

I did

[blissful ember]

Yeah

[pseudo rivet]

I bet you haven't done that

[silent crescent]

moments

[blissful ember]

says it increases health by 200% but increases impact and scratch damage

[pseudo rivet]

In that case, I'd suggest using it after you've been hit

Not during a firefight

[hazy helm]

[blissful ember]

Ok

[pseudo rivet]

Or what about the Pripyat-1 run without a SEVA Suit and only a PMm?

[narrow tartan]

I haven't touched a single mod.

Maybe after COP, I'll play Anomaly.

[worn oar]

Then from where you got the glimpse of the isg thing?

How on earth did you come across long forgotten cut content ?

[silent crescent]

How do I grab an artifact without flying off bleeding in the attempt?

It'd be much easier to safely acquire artifacts from within the proximity of anomalies if we had a Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator.

[silent crescent]

we aint in Fortnite 💀

[onyx vault]

It's from Half-Life 2

[silent crescent]

right i never finished that game

[onyx vault]

I'm trying to get through the classics:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Half-Life
Deus Ex

System Shock 2

[silent crescent]

only the Stalker games are the ones i care about currently

[onyx vault]

System Shock 2 is great

[silent crescent]

i dont really have anything else on my list

probably the Bioshock games

but i love the Stalker universe so that first

[onyx vault]

I'm obsessed with SoC.
It's making my girlfriend hate me.

[silent crescent]

tell her to cosplay Duty soldiers then you'll care about her

[onyx vault]

I'm making my way through the Wild Territory.
About to enter X-16.

[silent crescent]

Stalker>Woman

[onyx vault]

I'd rather her dress up like a Flesh.

[errant canyon]

Funny you say that because I'm like in the same situation lol

When I find something I like I get really obsessed with it for awhile

So each time we call I'm explaining the lore and why it's such a good game lol

[onyx vault]

Yeah, I kinda game a little bit, not very often.
But with SoC it's like every free moment I have I need to push deeper into the Zone or move items from one stash to another.

[onyx vault]

Yeah, I give her updates about what tasks/missions I have to accomplish, lmao.
She doesn't care.

[pearl jacinth]

a what now

[silent crescent]

L gf ngl

[errant canyon]

Yeah that sucks

[pearl jacinth]

"BABE PLEASE, THIS ISN'T YOU!"

"...ok so anyways, after strelok reached the c-con, he-"

[onyx vault]

I'm like, "I just have to drop off this ammo and medkits..." Or "just let me push past these bandits real quick."
But I'm playing with OWR3 so I die after like 2 bullets..

[silent crescent]

LMAOOOO

[pearl jacinth]

"so that's why streloks pda is, ironically, basically telling him to kill himself"

"AND WHY DOES THIS CONNECT TO YOU HANGING UP A POSTER OF KRUGLOV IN OUR ROOM"

[silent crescent]

moment ngl

[errant canyon]

"BABE PLEASE STOP"

"The zone must be destroyed "

[silent crescent]

"BABE PLEASE TAKE THE GAS MASK OFF WHILE HAVING S*X"

"You gotta pay you Merc"

[onyx vault]

I'm trying to decide which faction I like more.
How are Duty & the military any different? Do they work together??
Freedom kinda has the right idea, study the science.
Monolith is a cult..

I haven't met the Ecologists yet

[silent crescent]

Duty on top

[nimble cipher]

1thebadknight has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[silent crescent]

😦

[errant canyon]

Duty basically believes the zone needs to be contained and destroyed

[silent crescent]

isnt the Millitary just existing?

to keep stalkers in the Zone?

[errant canyon]

Basically yeah the military is just kinda there to prevent people going in

[pearl jacinth]

"babe PLEASE can we have normal sex tonight??"

"(in freedom exosuit) no, now please put on the bloodsucker costume"

[onyx vault]

And the military is just letting fleeing criminals come into the Zone to run rampant but nobody is allowed out?

[errant canyon]

Well they take a lot of bribes and known to be corrupt

Many people pay off the guards patrolling to be allowed in the zone

[silent crescent]

i mean after all who cares if criminals go into the Zone the worst case is that they kill a few ppl and die

not like ppl in the zone wouldnt kill each other anyways

[errant canyon]

It's amazing because all factions like have a point and it's so hard picking which one

[onyx vault]

You would think that the military would try to somewhat team up with Duty to crush Freedom & Monolith.
Maybe use the Ecologists scientists to study the anomalies.

[errant canyon]

For me it's either duty or the ecologists that make the most sense to me

[silent crescent]

Monolith "Our god is a rock. How cool is that?"

[pearl jacinth]

loners forever

[onyx vault]

Yeah, Strelok seems more of the loner type

[silent crescent]

Monolith has the best point ngl

[errant canyon]

I think containing and destroying the zone is best for the world

[silent crescent]

yeah

thats why we are Duty

[errant canyon]

The ecologists mostly just study and try to understand stuff

[silent crescent]

Clear Sky does kinda the same dont they?

[onyx vault]

Wasn't Strelok sent in by the military tho?

[errant canyon]

Which I also think is the other best faction for obvious reasons

[errant canyon]

Yeah I guess so

[errant canyon]

I honestly do not know lol

[onyx vault]

I heard that's the start of CS

Explains how Strelok got in

[silent crescent]

idk i play CS at the moment and im not sure if i heard or seen that (i probably wasnt paying too much attention)

[errant canyon]

That is fair

[silent crescent]

actually how long is CS?

[errant canyon]

All depends on if you only do story stuff or not

[pearl jacinth]

gets into zone via military
rushes directly to the power plant, not once, but TWICE
is he stupid?

[pseudo rivet]

Clear Sky researches the Zone to better understand it and to coexist with it

[silent crescent]

thats what i've seen but yeah i might've missed sumthing

[graceful lake]

Scar

[onyx vault]

@pseudo rivet how does one become a Legend of the Zone?

[silent crescent]

💀

[pseudo rivet]

Be very active in the server

[silent crescent]

lemme just delete the evidence of me being actually stoopid rq

[pearl jacinth]

the zone never forgets

[graceful lake]

The Zone will remember that...

[onyx vault]

Only Strelok forgets

[pseudo rivet]

[pearl jacinth]

meeting John Radiation, CEO of Radiation, TWICE, does a lot to your memory.

And how do you plan to destroy it?

nah its a moment

[errant canyon]

How dare you ask something intelligent

[pseudo rivet]

Ez, I'm not Duty

[silent crescent]

Duty>

why does Freedom exist actually?

[onyx vault]

So... ||The monolith isn't a wish granter but just some sentient irradiated rock who's entire goal is to keep the Zone radioactive and adventurers away from it?||

[pseudo rivet]

Former friends met each other back in the Zone, eventually made their own group

[pseudo rivet]

Did you reach the end of SoC?

[silent crescent]

thats about it?

[pseudo rivet]

With other words, finished it?

[pseudo rivet]

Not as dramatic as Duty, yeah

[silent crescent]

well that was a quick explanation if i've ever read one

[onyx vault]

No, I'm about to aid the Ecologists in getting to Yantar. Then I'm entering X-16.

[silent crescent]

sadly im about to join Freedom

[onyx vault]

TRAITOR!!

[silent crescent]

CS forces me to do so

at least im pretty sure i cant skip that part

i dont want to do it but i got to...

i love the menus of the Stalker games

[pseudo rivet]

Barkeep's got a rumor about the Wish Granter. A rumor's a rumor though, so it can either be true, embellished or one big lie

[silent crescent]

they look so good

[onyx vault]

Yeah, I like the menus too.
I'll pause the game to let the music play or just sit at a burning barrel fire listening to the guitar.
Either way, I'm satisfied.

[pseudo rivet]

However, I can also give you the Monolith's view on the Monolith

It's public info, so I can just say it

[onyx vault]

Is there multiple ending options to this game?

Like, I can choose what to do?

[errant canyon]

Are you playing Soc?

[pseudo rivet]

They believe it to be an evolutionary alien crystal, which brought the beginnings of life from other planets. It's also they who claim that the Monolith is able to grant wishes, as the rumor goes

[silent crescent]

he is

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

[silent crescent]

does CS have multiple too?

[errant canyon]

Some endings will be achieved by your play style

[pseudo rivet]

Nah

[onyx vault]

Man, that's a hard choice.
Definitely think the monolith should be destroyed.
Sympathize with Freedom & Ecologists wanting to study but also think the Zone should be destroyed/restored.

[silent crescent]

Duty you mean?

[errant canyon]

Exactly that's why it's so hard to side with a faction they are all right in some ways

[pseudo rivet]

If you ever come across a Shaman, they can explain to you what the Zone is

It is up to you to believe it or not

[placid laurel]

guys duty or freedom? why?

[silent crescent]

Duty

[placid laurel]

dont show the opposites faults, tell why freedom is good ideologically

(or duty)

lol

[errant canyon]

Well with freedom there ideology is that people should be allowed to go into the zone and have it be open to everyone

[placid laurel]

your pfp was my wrist watches wallpaper

[silent crescent]

lol

[errant canyon]

They know the risks going into it and know they can die but if they want to enter the zone then they have a right too

[placid laurel]

i liked how freedom thinks that zone responds to how you behave to it

[silent crescent]

i like how ppl in the zone think of the zone as a god

[placid laurel]

yeah right

[errant canyon]

I mean I probably would

[pseudo rivet]

Freedom for researching the Zone and it's inhabitants, as well as trying to show what happens in the Zone to the outside. Also, keeping the Barrier and preventing anyone from getting scorched by the Brain Scorcher and trying to prevent people from mindlessly killing any mutant that walks in the Zone

[placid laurel]

i agree

[errant canyon]

Duty basically wants the zone to be destroyed and contained

[placid laurel]

does this include not being able to resist your urge to fk a bloodsucker?

[errant canyon]

Yes

[placid laurel]

tbh then freedom is better

also why is freedom called anarchists? isnt anarchism the want to not have leaders?

[pseudo rivet]

Funnily, it's actually Bandit dialogue

[placid laurel]

yeah i know 😄

[errant canyon]

Boooo but in all seriousness I can totally understand that

[civic lava]

They are not wrong, as a clear sky member you should be the first one to know that

[silent crescent]

i mean who wouldnt want to clap some bloodsucker cheeks

[placid laurel]

yes

[errant canyon]

They call them a sucker for a reason

[placid laurel]

also why is this

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, it's the Zone. Everyone who entered the Zone, including Duty, is there illegally and the Military have orders to kill them on sight. It's already lawless, with common sense being the only kind of law there

[silent crescent]

i mean they still dont kill Duty when on sight so the millitary is literally useless

[pseudo rivet]

Are you sure?

[civic lava]

Duty is not illegal, duty was literally abandoned to die

[silent crescent]

everyone in the zone literally commits war crimes casually daily so it doesnt matter that much

[pseudo rivet]

Didn't play CoP, I guess?

[errant canyon]

Because I think it's that they don't want a government controlling it

[placid laurel]

hm ok

[civic lava]

They are abandoned in the first raid

[placid laurel]

🥲

[pseudo rivet]

They weren't

[placid laurel]

tachenko was iirc

[civic lava]

Just like the big military answer to stingray was send only one man?

[silent crescent]

i just noticed that Rostok is basically non existent in CS

[pseudo rivet]

I guess their journalism also kinda comes into this. The government tries to cover up everything in the Zone as good as they can, while Freedom wants to let the world know what happens within the Zone. Also, free access

[placid laurel]

yeah its a kind of shame

[placid laurel]

yeah alright

[pseudo rivet]

Replay CoP, I hope you'll find your answer

[placid laurel]

is there any server you guys know to talk about games, not like a bar place but like about games

[civic lava]

Cop got more plot holes then a stingray chopper

[placid laurel]

spesifically for games

[pseudo rivet]

It still exists, it's just that literally everyone who was there got trapped in there after the big Emission in the beginning

[placid laurel]

how do you get past it 😄

[pseudo rivet]

So uh, nobody in, nobody out

[placid laurel]

oh wait you don im dumbass

[silent crescent]

wild territory?

[placid laurel]

i dont remember the map of cs

[pseudo rivet]

Guess you'll have to stay ignorant forever, then

[errant canyon]

You pray

[placid laurel]

where do you go after cooling down the miracle machine

[pseudo rivet]

To the Red Forest

[silent crescent]

Swamps, Cordon, Garbage, Agropom, Dark Valley, Yantar, Army Warehouses, Red Forest, Limansk

[placid laurel]

hmm ok

[silent crescent]

not sure if you can get to CNPP

[placid laurel]

iirc yes

[pseudo rivet]

Think the stupid STALKER wiki deleted a page again

Kinda sad how it's publicly accessible

[placid laurel]

good night everyone

[silent crescent]

night

[placid laurel]

sorry but why do people say just night

i dont get it is it bout culture or people are lazy or what

im asking fr

[silent crescent]

im just lazy personally

[placid laurel]

ok 😄

[silent crescent]

but idk bout others

[placid laurel]

anyways 😄 good night

[hazy helm]

zone chronicles wiki is clearly superior

just use that

[silent crescent]

oh wait its optional to join Freedom in CS thank god

i wont be a traitor

[civic lava]

You don't need to, you only need to finish their quest against the mercs

mercs almost destroyed freedom in cs, and again they are planning attacks in soc, we never really know why

[pseudo rivet]

Major Zvyagintsev is gone

[silent crescent]

well they can destroy each other for as long as they want idc about either cuz Duty is clearly better then both of them

[hazy helm]

Zhenkov's boys are only a group inside Freedom
my friend,a group of Mercs almost destroyed a group of Freedomers

[pseudo rivet]

I can almost swear I wrote stuff Major Zvyagintsev quoted in the STALKER timeline section, but I can't find all of it

[hazy helm]

could always look at thge timeline

[pseudo rivet]

If that's the case, why are you guys having so much trouble with dogs

[pseudo rivet]

Did

[civic lava]

🤓 freedom would be wiped out without scar help

[silent crescent]

where your soldiers at in CS?

[pseudo rivet]

Duty would be wiped out without Scar's help

[civic lava]

Duty was really chilling in rostok

[silent crescent]

Stalker community moment tbh

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, this guy don't know squat

[civic lava]

They still are actually while freedom, well, we won't see a freedomer in darkvalley anymore 😔

[silent crescent]

Factions arguing over what not classic

[pseudo rivet]

Nor any Dutyers in Agroprom

With the exception of Duty sending Strelok to kill Free Stalkers in the area

[silent crescent]

🗿 🍿

anyone sum popcorn for the show?

[civic lava]

duty leaved after the mutant nest being destroyed

[pseudo rivet]

By Scar

[civic lava]

Handing to the hq, while freedom well, set a new hq after being kicked out from dark valley

[silent crescent]

[pseudo rivet]

Also, we don't know if they "left". There's no mention of what happened

[civic lava]

Bandits are literally anyone enemy and now they are in the darkvalley

[silent crescent]

i got a better idea then arguing lets blame it on Mercs

[pseudo rivet]

And he's missing the point

[civic lava]

Yeah, let's think that freedom will simply leave they major hq in the area to a even hostile place where they are pinned down by mercs, monolith and duty bc fight bandits is too hard for then

[pseudo rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-cat-popcornday-gif-4655908

[pseudo rivet]

The reason why Freedom wanted control over the Army Warehouses has always been to defend the Barrier. Whether Freedom was kicked out or left the Dark Valley is never told in the game

Also, I was referring to Duty and them having their HQ relocated from Agroprom to Rostok

[civic lava]

Yeah, bc freedom have a great goodwill and not bc fight in the bearer is in fact fight for their lives bc they have nowhere to go there

[silent crescent]

i love Stalker lore nights 🗿 🍿

[pseudo rivet]

Could you rephrase that in English?

[civic lava]

They gone to rostok right after being left behind, rostok was their regroup point

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah nevermind, this duder corrupted by fanfic

[civic lava]

Average freedkmer argument

[pseudo rivet]

Tell me, what was it?

Anomaly, I assume?

[silent crescent]

i enjoy this more then any movie tbh 🗿 🍿

[civic lava]

it's literally the game lore

[pseudo rivet]

Where does it say that, though

[civic lava]

Oh, no you missed that?

[silent crescent]

yo guys i left my in Yantar can anyone get it and give it back to me?

[civic lava]

No

[silent crescent]

😦

[errant canyon]

It'll cost you

[pseudo rivet]

I can lead you there for 2200 rubles, seen the distance

[silent crescent]

how much?

u can give you my nuts if yk what i mean 😉

[errant canyon]

20 rubles and a broken pistol

[silent crescent]

deal

[pseudo rivet]

You're Duty, not Caesar's Legion

[pseudo rivet]

With a price like that, expect to get robbed

...of your virginity

[silent crescent]

[errant canyon]

[pseudo rivet]

[silent crescent]

well the Stalker lore arguement night is over i assume

too bad i havent finished my popcorn yet

[pseudo rivet]

So, if the survivors of the Military raid was left behind in 2006 and founded Duty in the same year, with the first known place held by Duty being Agroprom in 2011, how is Rostok their regrouping point after the Raid failed?

Because we literally don't know what happened between 2006 and 2011 location-wise

[silent crescent]

nevermind thank you Crimson

[civic lava]

you also didn't explain why freedom moved to the army warehouses and why bandits are there now, why leaving a safe place to a even hostile place ?

The only answer is that freedom got kicked out

By bandits LoL

[pseudo rivet]

Dodging the question, eh?

We don't know why Freedom is only over at the Army Warehouses, I already told you

Perhaps they were kicked out, perhaps they decided it was better to pull all their forces to the Barrier

Who knows?

[civic lava]

Dodging the shame of being overwhelmed by bandits?LoL

[pseudo rivet]

Believe in your own fanfic, just know it isn't canon

[silent crescent]

Pov: a Bandit wants to rob you to let you trough Garbage but you already have 0 money

[civic lava]

The dark valley is a safe place to keep a suply line, in the army warehouse they are almost completely cut, nice strategy freedome

[pseudo rivet]

Yet they still got supplies. How? We don't know. They simply do

We don't always have the answer for everything

[civic lava]

so good that are asking help to duty

[pseudo rivet]

Again, fanfic

[civic lava]

you're a fanfic freedomer

[pseudo rivet]

Lmao this guy

[civic lava]

"Help us in the barrier duty"

nice strategy, move to place where anyone is hostile to you

The "moving" fanfic makes absolutely no sense

[pseudo rivet]

Can you send me a screenshot of that quote in Shadow of Chernobyl?

[silent crescent]

im having too much fun reading dis ngl

[civic lava]

Get me the quote where they leaved dark valley first

[pseudo rivet]

Guess you haven't play SoC to notice that Freedom's HQ is in the Army Warehouses

Also, again, I said that we don't know if they left or were forced to leave

[silent crescent]

now im confused is CS happening after or b4 SoC?

[civic lava]

yeah, but they not leaved, they got kicked out from dark valley witch is not included in your freedomer fanfic

[civic lava]

[pseudo rivet]

CS: 2011
SoC: 2012

[civic lava]

Leave this conversation

[pseudo rivet]

And, of course, you've got in-game proof to back this up

[silent crescent]

sorry bro im new to Stalker and i love reading arguements

also this way i get smarter about the lore no?

[civic lava]

literally bandits in the dark valley, literally no proof that freedom even remotely pushed duty or bandits in garbage all we saw is a duty checkpoint in garbage, guess who won?

[pseudo rivet]

You can get smarter by playing the games

[silent crescent]

thats also true

[civic lava]

Just joking on you

[silent crescent]

which is what im doing also while reading this

[pseudo rivet]

No one, seen how both factions still exist?

[civic lava]

who loose they hq in dark valley to bandits?

[silent crescent]

so its actually good that i play CS first okay

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, you can play SoC and CS in any order, but I'd personally say SoC first, then CS

[civic lava]

Duty checkpoint in the garbage is literally the same one where they push freedom in the faction war

[silent crescent]

i only own CS currently

[civic lava]

While bandits are being kicked out by all sides, guess where they go and who was the weaker flank?

[pseudo rivet]

I guess you could say that the Bandits lost their HQ to bandits if you count Strelok as multiple bandits

[civic lava]

your mind are rooting

Is that hard to admit the freedom is weaker then bandits?

We should put bandits in the bearer they hold pretty well limansk

[pseudo rivet]

A Freedomer is definitely stronger than a regular Bandit, both in armaments as in armor. So I don't see this as a fair match up at all

[civic lava]

And why they got kicked from the dark valley? Also renegades got a pretty decent gear, bandits too in cs

[silent crescent]

Bandits got my gear in CS 😠

[pseudo rivet]

Again again, I said that we don't know if they left or were forced to leave

It's never written or spoken in any of the games

[civic lava]

Bandits be like "wow let's thanks to freedom for let behind that impressive amount of guns in the dark valley armory, we really need thoae"

[pseudo rivet]

This duder don't even English fr fr

[civic lava]

leave is a completely illogical reason and the game does not point to this conclusion

[civic lava]

Freedomer coping fr

[pseudo rivet]

I dunno dawg, I know the lore of the Vanilla games and know it was never mentioned

If you want to make up your own fanfic, fine, but it's not canon

[civic lava]

keep dreaming that freedom peacefully leaved dark valley behind and bandits drop down there by pure magic

It's all a coincidence ~average freedomer

[silent crescent]

i mean after all its still possible that the Bandits just saw that the area is abandoned and made it their HQ or whatever

both of you can be right

[civic lava]

Look the faction war, garbage was being overwhelmed by all sides, they couldn't just leaved

[silent crescent]

if the games never mentioned either case then both of them are possibilities

[pseudo rivet]

I know that I know nothing, because it wasn't mentioned in any of the games. As such, it could go either way, with me not caring what happened. All that I know is that it resulted in Freedom taking the Army Warehouses as it's HQ

[civic lava]

Duty, freedom, loners anyone are attacking the garbage and guess who are still there ? Duty and loners and guess who was not there ? Freedom and their dark valley hq

Freedom just given up a conquer is heavily illogical

It was not just a lose, it was a completely lose, freedom was just alive bc they got their hands in the military arsenal at army warehouses and that arsenal is not about to run-out so soon

[errant canyon]

True

[pseudo rivet]

Conquer? Did Duty conquer the Garbage? No. Did the Neutrals conquer the Garbage? No. The Garbage isn't owned by anyone. Besides, you're almost talking as if you think the Loners are a faction

[civic lava]

cordon loners literally joining arms to fight back the concentration camps: no we are not a faction lol

[pseudo rivet]

Even though we're talking SoC's events

[civic lava]

then the military base i also not owned by freedom, neither any of their hqs

[pseudo rivet]

That's simply denying what the game presents to you

[civic lava]

same to garbage

Point and check

[pseudo rivet]

I guess you can be in denial of what the game literally shows to you. That's why it's called fanfic

[civic lava]

Loners literally holding the bandits attacks at garbage: no we not owning this, the cs war was just a fanfic? Valerian who is this guy?

[pseudo rivet]

I guess one could say that Rostok isn't owned by Duty, either

[pseudo rivet]

Again, weren't we literally talking about SoC?

[civic lava]

no one owns nothing in the zone~ freedom fanfic

[civic lava]

Me: talking about the lore
Freedomer: so i just cope

[pseudo rivet]

Lmao the amount of copium this guy snorted is insane

[silent crescent]

i wonder what a devs reaction to this arguement would be

[civic lava]

this is what i was thinking of you

[civic lava]

The devs know less about the lore then you homie

[silent crescent]

i mean are they?

[pseudo rivet]

Despite me literally not making up lore right here on the spot, unlike you?

[pseudo rivet]

Oh, you're so wrong with this one

Unless you're referring to Rock_4

[civic lava]

Not making lore: yeah freedom just leaved, it's totally true, lukash told me before marked one put a bullet in his head

[pseudo rivet]

In that case, yeah 💀

[silent crescent]

arent the devs the ones who make up the lore and make it into the game after all?

[civic lava]

That's not the same team of the ogs

[pseudo rivet]

Damn, Lukash told you? Show me an in-game screenshot as proof, please

[silent crescent]

they still should have an idea of what universe and lore they are continueing?

[civic lava]

yeah he told me that freedomers are loosers

[pseudo rivet]

Yes, but the GSC of the previous games aren't the same GSC as the ones who are making S.T.2

[civic lava]

They do

[pseudo rivet]

Still waiting for the screenshot

[civic lava]

still waiting for you to look the faction war map and look the soc map

[pseudo rivet]

Did

Now what?

[civic lava]

nice, still learned nothing i see

[pseudo rivet]

Indeed, you didn't make a point

[civic lava]

This is called interpretation illiteracy

[civic lava]

I did, you just don't accept it bc of your own cope

[pseudo rivet]

AKA fanfic?

[pseudo rivet]

No, I'm serious. You literally didn't make a point right there

[civic lava]

Freedom attacking bandits from the east and then freedpm disappeared like magic in the garbage in soc and in their hq as well, and bandits appearing there
It's just a coincidence~freedomer

[silent crescent]

[pseudo rivet]

[civic lava]

[pseudo rivet]

Not really a coincidence, as that's exactly what SoC shows us

[civic lava]

good to know that you're finally admitting that freedom lose

[silent crescent]

its still possible that bandits just saw the abandoned Freedom HQ in Dark Valley as Freedom moved out from there for strategic reasons as i said b4 both of you could be right if the game never mentioned that

[civic lava]

They are literally at war, freedom give up their hq to bandits at middle of the war makes no sense

[silent crescent]

you dont know how frequent the attacks of the bandits were on the old Freedom HQ im pretty sure

[pseudo rivet]

I still haven't. Guess your interpretation of what I'm saying is what might make you cope

[civic lava]

Freedom was weak by the mercs war and set a war with both bandits and duty in the garbage, what point did you missed?

[silent crescent]

you also cant know how many ppl were working on moving the shit from the old Freedom HQ to the new one

[civic lava]

They just left a whole arsenal there, but of course just another coincidence

[pseudo rivet]

Duty was weakened after the waves upon waves of mutants attacked them, so the Army swooped in, took their HQ and Duty was forced to relocate to Rostok

[civic lava]

Who is still at garbage ?

[pseudo rivet]

See? That's called fanfic

[civic lava]

At same place they conquered in cs ?

[civic lava]

you can literally see duty in the checkpoint in the game: fanfic
You can't see in the game: absolutely true lukash told me fr fr fr

[pseudo rivet]

Damn, he still interpreting this the wrong way

[midnight tiger]

I resemble that statement

[pseudo rivet]

Okay, how about this. I suggest you to double down on learning English, so you won't make mistakes when interpreting what I said with something you want me to say

[civic lava]

Duty capturing the checkpoint between garbage in cs the same place they are in soc: fanfic man
Freedom leaving dark valley, the arsenal, anything, during a war: it's true fr fr fr

[civic lava]

You arguments: no one talk about, even if it's very explicitly what happened so I'm just blind

No one talks about valerian, still he did what he did

[silent crescent]

Top 10 Anime Battles Moment ngl

dis the number 1

[pseudo rivet]

He's honestly just using gibberish at this moment, so I don't know if this is Top 10

Definitely not number 1

[civic lava]

cope pointed freedomer

You're not about to leave your hq again to a renegade right? You do this too much

[pseudo rivet]

Can't help it you need to fanfic the game even though we don't know what happened

[pseudo rivet]

Huh, funny, I thought you said they were Bandits

[civic lava]

yeah let's accept they peacefully leaved anything behind

[pseudo rivet]

Nah

[silent crescent]

i dont think this question was ever planned to be answered ngl

[civic lava]

They even opened the other side of the complex to the bandits and the storage to then, so nice of then, are you sure they are not friends?

[silent crescent]

i have a feeling that they wanted to make some sort of "cliffhanger" with this or sumthing

and from what i see it worked

[pseudo rivet]

Look dude, if you want me to be right about something I've never said, that's up to you. But it doesn't mean I agree with what you want me to say

[civic lava]

Do you think someone planned something at all?

[onyx vault]

[pseudo rivet]

[onyx vault]

I need to throw a bolt at this anomaly

[civic lava]

Stalker lore is very confusing homie, have you played cop?

[silent crescent]

i only own CS if that answers your question

[civic lava]

best stalker

[silent crescent]

but god damn you 2 have been arguing over this for 1.5 hours LMAO

and im having a lot of fun over watching this

[civic lava]

🧱

[onyx vault]

I had a run in with this guy the other night

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, I'm sorry dawg, but I can't accept it when someone makes up his own lore

[silent crescent]

np im having fun

[civic lava]

yeah you're the crying dude who threats anyone who disagree on you

[midnight tiger]

Why don't we all just kiss and make up

[civic lava]

They leaved hum, let's ask lukash

[silent crescent]

better idea

[onyx vault]

No, I just said you were rude and abrasive and you wouldn't let down.

[dire dagger]

wheres gaj when you need him

[silent crescent]

Why dont we all just pray to our god ?

[dire dagger]

[pseudo rivet]

I already asked for a screenshot a while ago and still haven't gotten one

[civic lava]

i can point you threats speaks for you if you have amnesia

[silent crescent]

okay thats helping a bit more

[pseudo rivet]

Pomidoras 🍅

[civic lava]

Also you're playing in a weid order dude

Cs before soc will make you miss the soc plot

[dire dagger]

he was the lore master

[silent crescent]

i only bought CS like half a year ago cuz why not

[dire dagger]

knew every shred of stalker lore

[civic lava]

If i was you i would stop cs and play soc now

[silent crescent]

no money 🙂

[dire dagger]

game is 5 bux 💀

[civic lava]

[silent crescent]

im that broke

no but seriously im a student so i dont earn much

[civic lava]

😔

[civic lava]

I have bad news for you then

Cs ending is a big spoiler to soc

[pseudo rivet]

Although I do recommend playing SoC before CS, it's not that bad of a mix up

Because, with SoC, you learn way more about CS' antagonists

[silent crescent]

meh idrc

[civic lava]

Soc is like fallout 1, they have the best atmosphere in the series

[pseudo rivet]

It honestly isn't, because that spoiler would probably be the very begin of SoC

[narrow tartan]

Is it true there's a Merc voice line saying "Come back when you learn English."?

[silent crescent]

im literally in a discord server where most of the ppl are talking about the lore i already know a few of spoilers from games

[dire dagger]

how

🤨

the ending tells you literally nothing

[civic lava]

You know some small stuff, the big stuff is about strelok

[dire dagger]

at best it gives you some vague notions of what happened

[pseudo rivet]

Wouldn't know, you can probably ask @hazy helm

[civic lava]

I don't think you have played cs

[dire dagger]

I did

[narrow tartan]

I think 3's atmosphere is the best.

[pseudo rivet]

Funny, with all you've said, I was thinking the same thing about you

[civic lava]

Get out here

[pseudo rivet]

New Vegas' is pretty good. Walking in the desert at night.

[civic lava]

The hub fellas forever

[silent crescent]

yeah i love it

[pseudo rivet]

Literally oof

[silent crescent]

keep going please 1 and half an hour wasnt enough of this show

[civic lava]

[dire dagger]

bro people who say cope unironically are always the one malding

lets be real

[civic lava]

Thanks for getting here in the end of the conversation 👍

[silent crescent]

lets be real for a sec my honest opinion is:

[pseudo rivet]

Ngl, it was kinda funny to see him cope tbh

[silent crescent]

i had the most fun i think

[civic lava]

i was thinking the same about you

[narrow tartan]

Guys, should I play Anomaly?

[civic lava]

No

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, but we know you're more of a fanfic kinda guy, so it's not true either way

[silent crescent]

i had the most fun just looking over it while playing the game and laughing my ass off

[pseudo rivet]

Nah

[silent crescent]

also trolling in a bit but thats just a me thing

[civic lava]

yeah let's accept your fanfic that freedom peacefully leaved

[silent crescent]

i love that you guys dont stop

i'll stay up all night to watch this

[dire dagger]

my point still stands regardless 🤨

[pseudo rivet]

Guess he really has to just take what I say and turn it back to me, because he just doesn't want to accept being wrong

[dire dagger]

by saying cope your saying you no longer are able to make a compelling argument

[narrow tartan]

A fellow Cheez-It enjoyer.

[silent crescent]

i love that even the mod joins in regarding this arguement

[civic lava]

I can literally show what you talked about freedom during after the cs events

[silent crescent]

or whatever im tryna say my english is too bad tbh

[civic lava]

#💬┃en_offtop message

[pseudo rivet]

Not as bad as Fuji, so don't worry about it

[civic lava]

You literally defended the statement that bandits raided dark valley

[silent crescent]

that doesnt mean that they kicked Freedom out

[civic lava]

@silent crescent look the whole conversation

[silent crescent]

raiding and getting someone out are 2 different things

[pseudo rivet]

Again, I said that it could have happened, but also that it could not have happened

[raven raptor]

it is way better to play soc first
it's the first game in the series with it's own long and painful development history that kinda reflects on level-design and gameplay

[pseudo rivet]

We simply don't know

[raven raptor]

also it feels differently from other games smh

[civic lava]

You literally send a counter to the dude, you're saying that you're wrong on what yourself said?

[pseudo rivet]

Remember what I said about interpretation?

[civic lava]

Isn't a fanfic when it's you who are saying right?

[pseudo rivet]

You're wrong again

[civic lava]

double standards hum?

[silent crescent]

gotta make another popcorn i feel like

[pseudo rivet]

Guess you really couldn't take it being proven wrong several times in a row

[dire dagger]

@pseudo rivet gotta go get screen shots of your own text to back up your points in times like these

i'll imbed them for yah

[civic lava]

i don't need you prove it for me
#💬┃en_offtop message

[silent crescent]

love this mod

[dire dagger]

this dude went scrolling back to march

[civic lava]

Thanks for debating with yourself Crimson

[dire dagger]

i gotta admit thats dedication

[pseudo rivet]

Question is, did that actually happen?

We don't know that

[civic lava]

too late crimsom, you already said it yourself

[silent crescent]

bro is way too passionate about this arguement LMAOOOO

[pseudo rivet]

Indeed, I did

[civic lava]

you even set screenshots to back up

[dire dagger]

im sitting here playing lego rock raiders and trying to write a paper

[pseudo rivet]

He can't stand being wrong ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[civic lava]

Thanks for this crimson

[dire dagger]

so i gotta admit i have missed a bit of context lol

[silent crescent]

im not the only one having too much fun with this then

[civic lava]

You just get here with a cheap parachute

[pseudo rivet]

Again, interpretation

[dire dagger]

bro im just falling out of the plane no parachute

[silent crescent]

they started arguing if Bandits kicked Freedom out from Dark Valley or they left by themselves

[dire dagger]

im gonna stick the landing with my knees

[pseudo rivet]

Duder's gonna land like a cat

[civic lava]

Then lemme use your own words
"Except the Bandits literally said they had problems with Freedom, but that Yoga didn't allow them to "take a bite out of them". As we can see in SoC, Dark Valley isn't lead by Yoga, but by Borov"
And those problems are ? Dark valley and the cs war

[silent crescent]

but if you wanna read you got 2 hours of texts to read then LMAO

[dire dagger]

i've seen this argument a million times

not reading 2 hours of text i already know what it says

[silent crescent]

#⭐┃nospoilers_general message

[pseudo rivet]

Sure, they've had problems, but we don't know what happened in that time period

[silent crescent]

here's the start tho

at least it started around there i think

[civic lava]

Are you sure friend ? To make it clear to anyone let me show you what commentary you have replied in question
"yeah bro, they deadass let them have the base, they left for army warehouses, no indication that the bandits raided and killed all freedomers left in the dark valley."

[pseudo rivet]

I'm sure friend, thanks for asking

[civic lava]

You're talking about dark valley, you, literally you

[silent crescent]

god this is just too funny to watch cuz i got no idea who's right LMAO

[dire dagger]

Stalker lore ME the player kill everyone i see because i can face no repercussions epic win

https://tenor.com/view/epic-win-gif-18390652

[silent crescent]

My honest reaction

[pseudo rivet]

Speculation =/= canon, so the answer is "We don't know"

[civic lava]

let me help you homie, today he was talking that dark valley was not raided by bandits but on those comments you can see that he defended the statement that dark valley was raided by bandits

[dire dagger]

considering plenty of events in stalker are optional and it's not always made super clear which of them was cannon or not

I decree that we don

't

know

[silent crescent]

i luv this mod too much for joining in

[civic lava]

[silent crescent]

sort of joining in at least

[dire dagger]

Thank you thank you i'm here all night

https://tenor.com/view/cope-harder-cope-harder-baboon-mentality-gif-22115122

[pseudo rivet]

[silent crescent]

[civic lava]

[dire dagger]

[civic lava]

Crimson is cool

[silent crescent]

now i imagined him doing it LMAO

[civic lava]

We already know that you don't need a reason to mute someone for exist

[dire dagger]

has happened

[silent crescent]

why you had to say this LMMAOOOOOOOOOO

now i imagined that too

[dire dagger]

oh i see

[silent crescent]

STOP LMAOOOOOOOOO

[pseudo rivet]

It was GSC who was ruling the server with an iron fist back in the day, not the EN moderators

[civic lava]

we both know that those wo tried gonne crazy, now it's this hell

[dire dagger]

dude

[pseudo rivet]

Trust me, it's way better now than back then

[dire dagger]

eh

if you go back to 2021

[pseudo rivet]

But we'll never get the good ol' STOC back, that's for sure

[dire dagger]

that was peak era

[pseudo rivet]

Definitely

[dire dagger]

but during the great purge they banned so many high quality chatters

[silent crescent]

i've been in this server for almost a year without knowing it

[pseudo rivet]

For no good reason

[civic lava]

Just like some mods making up arguments to mute people

[dire dagger]

get over your self pal

[pseudo rivet]

Then the weebs took over and the mods weren't allowed to do anything about it, since GSC took over the job

[pseudo rivet]

Let me guess, RU or UA mods?

[dire dagger]

nah hes talking about the time i muted waifu slayer for like 10 minutes

[civic lava]

Ru, what is ru?

[silent crescent]

Russian i assume

[civic lava]

Hours

[dire dagger]

that wasn't me

lol

i can literally prove it

[civic lava]

Yeah sure

[pseudo rivet]

Back in the day, we had Russian channels and Russian mods

[silent crescent]

i mean Jack has rights to the logs of the server doesnt he?

[pseudo rivet]

He should, unless GSC changed it

[silent crescent]

i mean im not sure if he can share the logs tho

[civic lava]

I already saw too much here my dude

[silent crescent]

wdym?

[civic lava]

Mods are bad trust me

[silent crescent]

i kinda like Jack ngl

[civic lava]

Trust only crimson

[pseudo rivet]

😳

[dire dagger]

[pseudo rivet]

And I'm not even a mod

Wait... perhaps that's why he said that

[civic lava]

It's the best example

[silent crescent]

Fuji is just making me more and more confused

[civic lava]
