[hazy helm]

yes I already played Darkwood

[toxic kettle]

did you complete it ?

[hazy helm]

played until the swamp,been meaning to get back to it,I know its good

[toxic kettle]

I just can't muster up the courage

you should try it too third guy

Harry I mean

[amber tendon]

Already have it

[toxic kettle]

yo look like it's a famous game

[amber tendon]

Eastern Europeans and games about self destruction go hand in hand

[toxic kettle]

I get the word play you used there

[amber tendon]

Like divorced mother of 2 and red wine

[toxic kettle]

damn let me write this down

Hey has anyone tried amnesia the bunker yet ?

[hazy helm]

yes

[toxic kettle]

is it as good as they say ?

[hazy helm]

yes

[toxic kettle]

really ?

[hazy helm]

yes

[toxic kettle]

alright I will give it a try then

any advice before playing it ?

[hazy helm]

experiment

[toxic kettle]

experiment ?

[hazy helm]

yes,experiment with the enviroment and items you have

[amber tendon]

I am just getting out of the system

Nothing makes more of the game about self destruction then fighters

[hazy helm]

why don't you build smth instead

Play Shenzhen I/O

[amber tendon]

If anything they make you a sadistic and masochistic at the same time

[hazy helm]

Best work Sim

[amber tendon]

I could apply for IT instead

[hazy helm]

But then you won't be procrastinating

[amber tendon]

Lies

The only job where you can't procrastinate is security guard

Because it's already part of your job

[gilded sentinel]

But you can’t procrastinate there too

Since you will be taken by Freddy Fazbear

[frigid yacht]

Man any grown up could either dodge or run from those animatronics

Theyre slow af they weigh 2 tons they probably cant swing

Can only bite

[gilded sentinel]

yeah but what if freedy fazbear did the hur hur hur hur thing

thats op as hell

[frigid yacht]

Night vision goggies

[fickle umbra]

hello guys i had a question. is it possible to have a vintorez with binocular detection and it shoots quite straight? i mean overall its the most wonderful weapon imo but i would love to play
with that version for once in a decade.

i have the extracted data, how hard it'd be for me to alter the ltx file and upgrade it and use with mod? creating another vintorez solely for the marked one?

[solid dome]

Vintorez with binocular detection?

[fickle umbra]

Yeah, years ago i used a fn2000 with binocular scope. I mean wherever i look it was detecting foes. The guy who created that weapon was a genius imo.

[broken latch]

He's talking about cop upgrades

There's an upgrade that spots all npcs and mutants in sight and marks them in rectangles like binoculars do in other games

[fickle umbra]

well there wasnt any rectangles, it was just the binocular detection on the weapon scope. exact same bino structure integrated on the fn2000 scope.

[toxic kettle]

Hey does dead air have most of the mechanics and features of misery

[hazy helm]

I expect it to its a fork

[toxic kettle]

what is fork ?

[hazy helm]

basically,when someone copies the source of some project and makes an offshoot from it

[toxic kettle]

ohh but from the experience I had so far I can say dead air is more stable amd better version of misery

[broken latch]

I thought you were talking about knight fork from chess

[toxic kettle]

lol, what's that by the way

[toxic kettle]

hey is anyone aware of the THAP project for anamoly ?

[toxic kettle]

oh I get it now

[hazy helm]

no

its anomaly so I dont wanna know

[upbeat kite]

Excuse me Sir what is wrong with Anomaly?

[hazy helm]

its anomaly

[upbeat kite]

I see very in deep exploration 🙄

[hazy helm]

Im not going into my 100th tangent on why I dislike anomaly
I have been 1 year anomaly talk free
that will stay
I will remain anomaly talk free

[upbeat kite]

Ohh fair enough thanks 🥹

[toxic kettle]

I like anamoly

[upbeat kite]

Why? What makes difference from vanilla?

[toxic kettle]

dude what is your question exactly ?

no offense to anybody

[hazy helm]

its a freeplay mod using a Misery fork

[upbeat kite]

If your subjective opinion is positive about anomaly i became curious what is your experience with the mod

[toxic kettle]

oh that what you meant well I never tried it because I don't have a rich kid pc setup but I have seen it's gameplay and I think it's really immersive, beautiful and have some of the most realistic combact mechanics.

[broken latch]

Everything

[toxic kettle]

Another hardcore fan of original I guess ?

[broken latch]

I love mods and other stalker inspired games

So it's pretty much anoamly hate

[toxic kettle]

Oh why is that if you don't mind sharing your prospective that is ?

[broken latch]

Because of youtubers

[toxic kettle]

huh ?

[toxic kettle]

That was really unexpected

[broken latch]

Well the YouTubers are the only ones advertising and showing Anomaly and gamma mod pack to others

[toxic kettle]

well can't deny that

[broken latch]

They are the main source of hatred towards anomaly because anomaly isn't what stalker is, it's just a freeplay mod on a newer engine

[toxic kettle]

well then I guess I should say I like Anamoly rather than "stalker anamoly"

[broken latch]

This is basically what every second anomaly fan is like

[toxic kettle]

you know these thing would never bother me

I like to see the dedicated modders creating amazing content that I think sometime seems better than majority of AAA titles

[hazy helm]

Klean is the originator of this ngl

every game he touches,the entire modding community goes apecrap with EFT style mods for some reason

I mean the community was already saturated with Misery style mods so it stayed with about the same level of bad mods

[toxic kettle]

I don't share the shame view as yours, and I enjoy EFT prospective in the stalker games

[broken latch]

Only cool think about anoamly is how good you can make it look

[toxic kettle]

was there a typing mistake ?

[hazy helm]

OGSR is overall the better engine

OpenXray maybe

[toxic kettle]

I agree with that

[broken latch]

Auto correct keeps turning anomaly into anoamly

[hazy helm]

Anomaly running on an outdated version of OXray certainly doesnt help

[hazy helm]

not even the autocorrect likes it

[broken latch]

Real

[toxic kettle]

alright then let me ask you something, what is the current stalker setup you are playing ?

[hazy helm]

either NS,OP2 or stream NLC7

that is unless a new TL of a story mod comes out

tho I still need to focus on my own TL projects

[toxic kettle]

Sorry I don't understand these slangs can you write the full name please

[broken latch]

I want to play op2 but my laptop says no

[hazy helm]

narodnaya solyanka,Cumulative Patch 2 and New Level Changer 7
they are known as NS,OP2 and NLC7 respectively,act as their names

[hazy helm]

its more than likely Ill just play AlternativA1.4 if I can fix its issue

I rly wanna play that

I REALLY DO

bc it looks amazing

[broken latch]

Can you send a vid or link it

[toxic kettle]

contradicting your own opinion now aren't you ?

[hazy helm]

what?

[toxic kettle]

nver mind send the video link please

[toxic kettle]

damn that's cool

[hazy helm]

[toxic kettle]

hold up can you understand russian ?

[hazy helm]

a bit for now
theres a TL

[broken latch]

Those levels remind me of Dark Messiah and Red Orchestra

[toxic kettle]

well guys I got some work to do I shall take my leave now, it was nice speakin to you all

[broken latch]

Wow, I didn't even know x-ray could do that, also the vid is 4:20

[hazy helm]

[hazy helm]

yes oits a kind of trailer

[toxic kettle]

Hey VASIM you there

[hazy helm]

[fast stratus]

@old jungle hi.

[old jungle]

[fast stratus]

Can I have the name of your channel. I think I subscribed you

[old jungle]

Anomalous Dugout

[fast stratus]

Yes I was right. Your my fav channel. Thanks to you I could make my school project

[old jungle]

Really? What kind of project?

[fast stratus]

History of stalker.

With PowerPoint

[old jungle]

Nice

May I see it?

[fast stratus]

Yeah

But I don't have the project know but I will show it when I have it on my pc

I think it's deleted because we changed the windows

[fast stratus]

I also were researching about sterlok

[old jungle]

alright, feel free to send it when you retrieve it

[old jungle]

and what did you find?

[fast stratus]

About his faction, ghost and fang, his goal and his fate

[old jungle]

[finite dragon]

Stalker Anomaly is objectively the worst stalker game because it doesnt let me drink 5 bottles of Vodka in one sitting

Goddamm "you already have this effect" LET ME OVERDOSE

But Clear Sky lets me black out on 20 bottles of the zones finest shit

[hazy helm]

how can it be that if it aint a stalker game to begin with

[finite dragon]

True

Altough the Old World Addon does make Anomaly a nice addition to switch up your gameplay every now and then

(Atleast it makes it easier to set up videos)

[finite dragon]

"stalker game"

[finite dragon]

Anomaly and its derivatives have been a great disaster to the Stalker franchise

[winged river]

cause the devs dont profit off it?

[bronze sedge]

you don't get the physical preorder bonuses if you buy from steam right?

[grave hearth]

Anomaly isn't that deep but people will never stop crying about it

[winged river]

quick question

is there a key code in the 2nd level of lab x-18

or is the key code brute force of whatever the hell is behind that door

[worthy lagoon]

The secret is in the messages

Or actually, bodies

[winged river]

i found it

what i didnt find is the monolith suit

[wary quarry]

So like I'm sorry to ask this but what does the ego detector do or just the detectors in general in stalker clear

[worldly yarrow]

They detect artifacts.

[grave hearth]

they detect the glowing rocks

[fierce flower]

correct

[balmy forum]

Just out of curiosity, how popular would an extraction shooter thats stalker themed be?

[worldly yarrow]

Where would you extract to?

Who would extract you?

[tulip egret]

Good evening, will there be shipments of the physical edition of Stalker 2 to other countries at some point?

[deep obsidian]

Hello, I recently heard of the stalker series thanks to the song, 1553470665499594756, by frxgxd, where I believe they use an audio sample of "guitar_11.ogg" as the internet seems to call it. I have become very interested in playing the games, although I don't know much about them. Where should I start?

[bronze sedge]

i'm hoping on that too

been trying to get it in mexico

[winged river]

damn the moonlight is a god send in soc

i can run like hell now without having to chug down an energy drink every 20 meters

[bitter girder]

is the physical ultimate for stalker 2 worth it?

And do I need an external disk drive for it?

[old jungle]

Hello! I suggest starting with the first game Shadow of Chernobyl.

[old jungle]

If you are a big fan, I would say so.

[toxic kettle]

hey anyone online

I am facing this weird glitch where magazines of my AK74u becomes invisible and you can't see it when your actor reloads the gun.

[hazy helm]

In the room filled with lockers
It's inside one of them

[winged river]

yea i checked nothings there

[hazy helm]

Now why would you wanna do that?

[winged river]

also im past that already

like im to the point wether i should backstab duty or freedom

[hazy helm]

Shouldn't have happened,did you at least find the ak and grenade launcher attachment?

[winged river]

uhhh

[hazy helm]

[balmy forum]

Just day dreaming about mod ideas, not that I know how to make mods lol

[hazy helm]

Those sad items without a home

[winged river]

no everything that was listed on the wiki i didnt find

[hazy helm]

Well you should
Wanna learn LUA?

[hazy helm]

Must be a skill issue

Like did you open the lockers

[winged river]

everything

literally everything was touched

[hazy helm]

weird
Just another case of every stalker copy being personalised

[winged river]

so is there any sort of pros and cons with siding with either duty or freedom?

i mean i know what con with freedom and thats potentially never be able to step south or rostok every again

[hazy helm]

I'd you side with freedom you'll have to fight rostok

Btw

[winged river]

oh that i know

and i already gave the grenade launcher

freedoms gonna shoot me now arent they

[hazy helm]

If you fought them yes

[winged river]

uhh

guess not then

[hazy helm]

I never take a side I just use a chair to jump past the guard and raid the armory
I always use the grenade launcher in the village anyway

[finite dragon]

True. I love using it to set up fumny scenarios for content.
For gameplay, I prefer the original games, but anomaly does have its uses

[placid laurel]

sir vasim...

[rancid pine]

[strong drift]

[drowsy valley]

Sitting here wondering if FireLake will be making stalker 2's soundtrack

[hazy helm]

he wont

[drowsy valley]

NOOOO

I haven't kept up with it much,

[raven raptor]

gsc is doing music by themselves

[drowsy valley]

FireLake was good tho

i go with the fear that stalker 2 won't have the same vibe as the old ones lmao

[raven raptor]

it...won't?

it's a new game, why would it have same vibe as the game from 2007 with odd and long development history

[hazy helm]

they are trying to make a stalker game but things will be different yes

it wont be a 1:1 but it wont be a 0:1 either

[raven raptor]

it surely will keep all it's recognizable features but it will be a new game either way

[raven raptor]

[drowsy valley]

[hazy helm]

I dont think they make music anymore

but they have some good stuff

[drowsy valley]

ah,

[amber tendon]

yea the band has dispersed

[hazy helm]

they are a metal band

[drowsy valley]

Imagine the 2011 stalker 2 wasn't cancelled

I wonder what it would have looked like

[amber tendon]

they changed bunch of members pre 2011 already so

[hazy helm]

a much more RSP game

[drowsy valley]

surprised no one has made a fan game version based on the concepts

Or someone has, and I just didn't know

[hazy helm]

they are making one

dezodar

that is

and some concepts are used around in modsº

[drowsy valley]

ah,

[amber tendon]

pretty sure most of fan games grew into fully flashed out projects that are inspired by stalker

[drowsy valley]

Speaking of mods, someone gotta help me install lost alpha later, I can't get it to work 😭

[amber tendon]

that's how most of it goes

[drowsy valley]

I refuse to ever play stalker gamma or anomaly

ok maybe gamma

[amber tendon]

how's gamma different from anomaly?

[drowsy valley]

idek

Tbh a lot of people who play those, have never touched the originals, and still rant like they're fans of the games

[amber tendon]

same poison

[drowsy valley]

I've had a guy try and convince me I was wrong about stalkers lore when I am the one who actually owns the originals and have played thru them all

[amber tendon]

back in 2007 when I was wee lad I pirated the game and haven't touched it for like 12 years

[hazy helm]

at least you didn't buy a key

[amber tendon]

downloaded anomaly played it had fun, got bored from it and decided to buy og

[drowsy valley]

I wasn't even born when SOC was made, I was released later that year

[amber tendon]

what

[drowsy valley]

would the old stalker games be considered indie?

[hazy helm]

pirating is better than buying keys from grey markets

[amber tendon]

Yea you still get the same malware from both of these

[hazy helm]

if you know what youre doing,nha

[amber tendon]

don't thing 5 yo knew what he was doing at all

[drowsy valley]

I've pirated several games but it depends on who deserves my money, I would NOT pirate a stalker game

[hazy helm]

you knew more than most 5 y olds nowadays

be proud

[amber tendon]

5 yo was stuck in cordon stacking cash from constantly respawning bandits at engine service

[hazy helm]

youre almost a genius!

[raven raptor]

from what i've seen it's an overdosed version of gamma with tarkov features

[amber tendon]

♿ me rn

[amber tendon]

oh I played it

[drowsy valley]

it's singleplayer Tarkov with a stalker theme 😭

I want to talk about guilty gear tbh

[hazy helm]

who up here plkaying Secrets of Cordon

need to get around to that

[drowsy valley]

That reminds me are there any stalker gun mods that don't make the animations and models look like it was made yesterday while the rest of the game is still in 2007

[hazy helm]

FWR

[drowsy valley]

Just stuff that adds more weapons

[hazy helm]

no new weapons

Kinda funny how stalker is a futuristic game that game that takes place in the past

ok stalker we hear you

[drowsy valley]

huh?

[amber tendon]

kinda like ukraine fr fr

It'd be funny to look at predictions if you can call it that that stalker got right

The INTP acronym stands for “introverted, intuitive, thinking, perceiving.” Colloquially, this personality type is known as “the thinker” or “the logician” type. Famous INTPs include Albert Einstein, René Descartes, Charles Darwin, and Marie Curie.

Let's talk stalker lore theory

Ashot and Jar are definitely a gay couple

[hazy helm]

not many,it wasnt trying to be set in a realistic world

[ancient haven]

Its trans awareness week :3

[hazy helm]

cant a guy do banter with his bro without being gay

whod shoot who btw

[drowsy valley]

"no Ashot, you come over here, I have something to show you~"

[glad temple]

What if I am aware of them every day

[hazy helm]

would ashot shoot first or would yar

I live in California after all

[hazy helm]

you do!

[drowsy valley]

I CANNOT get past the swamp and it's embarrassing

[hazy helm]

whats trroubling you child

[glad temple]

Is it because a squad won’t come to the outpost

[hazy helm]

lemme hear you,I can fix it

[umbral brook]

They are helpless people, always need other people to protect them

[drowsy valley]

Renegades and my NPC mates lot helping me

[glad temple]

Yeah you’re probably gonna need to restart

[hazy helm]

they are scientists not stalkers,they didnt sign up to go to the zone like 99% of them were forced under gov contract

[glad temple]

It’s a common issue

[hazy helm]

reload to a point past getting the notif that help is on the way

or before you started attacking

[umbral brook]

True that

[hazy helm]

should reload the AI

[drowsy valley]

Isn't clear sky like hella buggy

[glad temple]

It’s stalker. They’re all hella buggy

[hazy helm]

could use SRP but most bugs are related to AI Pathing

[finite dragon]

Hello. How are you?

[umbral brook]

Hello everynyan

[drowsy valley]

I also gotta redo my settings kn clear sky to match the ones I use in cop and soc

Example, when I hit 1 I actually get my primary instead of a knife 💀

Also sorry but I toggle running on shift not x 😔

[hazy helm]

shameful secrets being uncovered rn

[drowsy valley]

it's just easier!!!!

[finite dragon]

How are you, man?

[drowsy valley]

Okay look, at least I don't play with a million mods that make it look like a AAA game

[glad temple]

You have no clue how many controls I had to change to get clear sky on my steam deck to be playable

[umbral brook]

Fine

[finite dragon]

Good

[drowsy valley]

Also, I don't have any way of playing the disc version but should I buy the disc versions of the games just for funny

[hazy helm]

I mean,Id say thats a problem you made on your own

[glad temple]

Let me tell ya, the game was NOT made for controller, even with the thousand extra buttons the steam deck has vs a regular controller

[umbral brook]

[hazy helm]

game was never meant to be played with controller and never natively supported it
suprised game plays badly with a controller

[glad temple]

Worth it, now that it’s fixed I love playing it on there

[hazy helm]

man we should talk more metro stuff on tommys cafe bro

ditch this place

[glad temple]

Not surprised, but I just was stating how much effort it took to get it working

[glad temple]

True dat

Especially with slow mode here

[drowsy valley]

fun fact there's s stalker reference in a completely unrelated game I play

BRM5, a Roblox Milsim

[glad temple]

Modern Warfare 3 has strelok in the crappy new “no russian” mission

[drowsy valley]

marked one??? What the heeeel

[glad temple]

I hope they actually give strelok a real name in stalker 2

[hazy helm]

I hope he doesnt appear at all

[glad temple]

I guess we will see….

[hazy helm]

he made an appearance in CoP and that was crap
it should bbe left ambiguous wether or not he is alive,dead or even real at all

a legend,a myth

[drowsy valley]

Do we even know anything about what the story in stalker 2 will be

I have NOT been paying attention

[hazy helm]

we know bits and pieces from the ARG and the trailers

[glad temple]

Good. Don’t look at any of the leaks because there general spoilers in them.

[drowsy valley]

I hope it at least makes sense and connect to the OG's story

[hazy helm]

I hope it doesnt
that the main story is alluded to but left alone

this should be new not borrowing from the old and wearing its skin purely for nostalgia

there is a lot of potential in the zone and you should take advantage of that

[drowsy valley]

It still wouldn't make any sense to start a completely new story

[hazy helm]

why
you dont want a new character whose actions arent connected to the happenings of the trilogy?

[glad temple]

Orrrr maybe it could bring back characters because the zone is a small place and there’s an overarching narrative throughout all four games?

[hazy helm]

the zone changes and will allude to such things BUT dont base it solely around the old is what I am saying

[drowsy valley]

I'm talking about the events that took place in the originals that had an effect on all of the zone,

[glad temple]

It’s really logical to bring back characters

[drowsy valley]

Those shouldn't just be neglected

[drowsy valley]

If we don't get at least a reference to sidorvich I'm not playing the game

[hazy helm]

bringing back characters just for the sake of bringing them back is bad
just like Strelok in CoP

[drowsy valley]

The story in CoP was kinda about what Strelok caused in SoC

[glad temple]

If it’s not a total cop out it’s fine

[hazy helm]

what I am saying is tha the game shouldnt be imprisioned by what was past and look forward while not squandering what was past either
of course its gonna be alluded to but it shouldnt be a crutch

thats what Im saying

[glad temple]

Like strelok coming to save the day for skif out of nowhere

[drowsy valley]

I mean isn't he kinda the main character of the games

[glad temple]

Only the first

[hazy helm]

no
he is one of the main characters

[drowsy valley]

he's the one with the most lore behind him

[glad temple]

But tbf the other two games are centered around his actions

[drowsy valley]

Yeah

[glad temple]

He is single-handedly the most influential man in the zone

[hazy helm]

CoP isnt centered around Strelok what

it is separate

it was smushed in there last second,and it feels like an entire cop out bc of that

CS is tho,since you are a merc trying to kill strelok

[glad temple]

His actions, not himself

[drowsy valley]

It's centered around operation Fairview which he was started cause he managed to disable the scorcher

[hazy helm]

mf what do you mean
Deg never alluded to any objectives even tangentially related to strelok
are you saying that the stashes make the game center around strelok

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitten-kitty-yeet-funny-gif-21938191

might as well say that the entire universe is strelok centric

[drowsy valley]

Strelok is the guy who invented the sun

[hazy helm]

bc he exists and did 2 things

[drowsy valley]

He did some pretty big things which lead to the events of the other games

They're connected

[hazy helm]

where is my SCAR appreciation tho?that mofo managed to knock strelok out!
you wouldnt have SoC without him

HES the true hero

[glad temple]

No bruh I mean operation fairway only happened because strelok turned off the brain scorcher

[hazy helm]

yhea and the zone only happened bc c-con thus making them the true MCs of the entire series

[drowsy valley]

Scar couldn't even keep his VSS in CS

Lame,,,

[hazy helm]

he don need a overpriced GUCCI gun to cause murder

[glad temple]

Strawmanning so hard rn

[hazy helm]

double standards

[drowsy valley]

barges into zond
solves all the problems in the areas in CoP
refuses to elaborate further
Leaves

[hazy helm]

you mean the weakling

he cant stand up to strelok nor scar

the guy didnt even go to CNPP
what a dork

[drowsy valley]

The game named call of pripyat is centered more around pripyat as the end game than the CNPP that's crazy

[winged river]

so if the thing in lab x-16 isnt the brain scorcher

[hazy helm]

jus saying
Deg has got nothing on the body count of Strelok nor of Scar

[winged river]

what the hell is it exactly?

[glad temple]

Strelok, turned off the brain scorcher, and allowed thousands of stalkers to reach further into the zone, he destroyed C-con, he is absolutely the main character of series lol this is not double standards

[hazy helm]

or their achivements

[drowsy valley]

It's the brainschorchers child

[drowsy valley]

He had a mission, he completed it

[glad temple]

Bro started a major faction war on top

[winged river]

so what an experimental version of the scorcher?

[glad temple]

Actually a few

[drowsy valley]

starts a war that possible caused the end of both freedom and duty
Leaves

[hazy helm]

you literally said that he was the MC of the 3 games which,nha man,he barely even appears in CoP and his actions are barely alluded to
if you want to make the argument then C-Con are the true MCs of the series bc nothing would have ever happened if they didnt set stuff up and (alledgedly brainwash scar)

[hazy helm]

Scar and Strelok had one as well,they also completed it

[glad temple]

True Chad

[drowsy valley]

Wanna know how I completed stalker Soc in about 10 minutes

[glad temple]

[drowsy valley]

I went and killed myself by getting shot by military, my PDA told me to kill strelok

Main mission done

[winged river]

literally run into an anomaly and you can cut that down to at least a minute

[glad temple]

Not to mention he brought monolith back out of the woodwork by accident

[hazy helm]

yes
https://youtu.be/ytJKWXORL3k

[drowsy valley]

You didn't rly keep attention to dialogue didn't you

[drowsy valley]

how were the monolith even alive after what Strelok did

[winged river]

all i knew was something about an emission

[glad temple]

Lot of extra brain scorching probably lol

[drowsy valley]

He killed the c-con 😭

[winged river]

i mean i looked around the area when i was in x-16

only thing i concluded was the scientist tried growing a massive brain

and some of the failed experiments led to the controllers and giants

[drowsy valley]

The stalker lore is crazy

[winged river]

i like it

least compared to fallout cause those games are way too patriotic for me

and shoddy game studio

[drowsy valley]

@hazy helm is it normal that a military raid on duty base happens in vanilla soc btw

Cause that happened on my first playthru

[winged river]

pretty sure ive seen a murder happen in rostok

i remember seeing a neutral stalker running at me weapon drawn

i look at the minimap and i saw another neutral stalker dead

[drowsy valley]

I ran into a bandit in a sunrise suit

[winged river]

i kinda hate it how theres no pause on certain dialogues in soc

like yea i know im not supposed to be in this specific area

but christ can you shut up cause i got it the first time and its literally the only path from garbage to bar

if im gonna turn my back on duty thats the first person to go

[toxic kettle]

imagine waking up after a good night sleep to only find out a pack of dogs feeding on your balls.

[gilded sentinel]

sus a-life

[broken latch]

@hazy helm wait why does soc allow you to completely ignore main quests and just go for the win? Doesn't that make soc freeplay mod

[hazy helm]

No it doesn't BC you're still assigned a character with a averarching plot to follow
And it lets you so that BC mission structure is open enuff to allow it

[broken latch]

Okay but why can you get past brain scorcher and just go through Pripyat if it's left turned on

And why does it turn off by it self if you enter and leave pripyat

[hazy helm]

BC when You go to Pripyat it's supposed to NOT be one and so the Devs go by assumption that it is off

[broken latch]

Couldn't they just make it that you needed a item requirement or something so the game know that you actually turned it off

Like they did with true ending

[hazy helm]

You could but they didn't need to
Dev things
How should I know

[broken latch]

Because you are supposed to know everything that's got do with mods and code or something

And sir crimson is supposed to know all lore and cut content

And that third sir that got grey name, idk anything about that guy

[hazy helm]

Bottomline
Someone thought doing such a thing would be unneded
That is really it

Can't know the exact reason without talking to the Dev who made it

[hazy helm]

no,they dont let you record the Gamescom demo

[gilded sentinel]

Should’ve repaired your armor while you had the chance

[hot reef]

U cant 🗣️

[gilded sentinel]

Nah , you just need 5 batteries

[hazy helm]

kek

the game will add durability to your armour instead of removing durability from it if your resistance is higher than 100

btw

[broken latch]

Any resistance?

Also is that a bug or a feature

[hazy helm]

if you have >+100 resistance with any elemental damage and are hurt by said element the bug will proc

its a oversight with how damage is applied,its the formula theyre using

[broken latch]

What was the mod that adds long arti belt

[hazy helm]

dunno but I do know that OGSR combated this by making it so that if any element resistance was higher than 80% it would actually hurt you with that element

so if you had +80% of fire resistance it would put you on fire

that was cool

[broken latch]

So you'd get punished for extra resistance

Doesn't make sense

Like if an artifact that removes fire, it should freeze you

no?

i call them copy pastas, I know you probably dont know what that is because erdogan banned half websites in your country

you cant shush god, just as you cannot kill the sky up above

[finite dragon]

Finally got my Renegade ExoSkeleton fully upgraded

Now I'm broke

[winged river]

im confused so

do health artifacts in soc give you more health or make you regenerate faster?

[finite dragon]

Health Regen

[winged river]

well that stat is a bit misleading

[finite dragon]

I assume you're looking at a Meat Chunk, or Stone Blood?

[winged river]

mest chunk

[finite dragon]

Yeah its Health Regen

I never bothered with those Artifacts honestly

[winged river]

if i can find a soul i can probably solve my hoarding problem

i have 30 bandages

it was 40 once

[finite dragon]

You can find a Soul in the Garbage

Though its in a hard to reach place, near a Bandit Camp past the Vehicle Dump spot

Surrounded by Anomalies

[winged river]

think ive been there already but i didnt see any artifacts

might have to check again

[finite dragon]

One can also spawn in the X-18 lab in Dark Valley

I think I also got one from Bar Keep one time, in SoC, as a reward for a mission

[winged river]

ill just have to see

[finite dragon]

Good hunting, Stalker.

[winged river]

is it me

or does movement in soc feel like ice skating

[grave hearth]

first of all its not a kalas or a kalashnikov as it's properly written, it's a PPS-43 made dysfunctional in order to abide by dutch regulations since you can't just own a firearm in the netherlands. So in this case knowing how to reload it is irrelevant

and even still i know how to reload it because like many russian guns its easy as shit

[hazy helm]

Please
Touch grass

[grave hearth]

already did

why you asking me instead of the guy that literally spams

@old jungle hi. i saw your video. if you see that dev again ask him if there is a physical copy for PC

the stalker OST is all ambience it would be good if we have MUSIC

[winged river]

alright

ive turned off the actual brain scorcher which means the road to the north is wide open

[fast stratus]

I have back up

[winged river]

thank christ i decided to make a b line through the forest

u use the disk drive cuz your work requires it

Never failed on me why

i miss those days like i used to have a whole bag of game disks and software and alot of stuff

what the same one youve been using for what 5 years?

[hazy helm]

Nor like I use it that much but they ain't exactly costly to make or buy

[strong drift]

LG one

[broken latch]

Stalker poetry ≠ Anomaly poetry

[winged river]

i assume story wise

the reason why limansk isnt a thing in soc

the emission that happened in the end in cs caused the teleports to limansk to vanish or move somewhere else

[broken latch]

The same reason why rostok is unavailable in CS is why limansk is unavailable in soc

[winged river]

a case of the main character having amnesia and conveniently the plot of both games doesnt drag them to locations that dont exist in those games?

[broken latch]

Why would a death truck go to limansk?

The job of agents (strelok) was to infiltrate stalker communities, not monolith in limansk

[winged river]

yea i like the idea the zone had something to do with entire location disappearing instead

[hazy helm]

Those maps weren't ready to be put in SoC

Simple as

[winged river]

Thank you. The same to you.

Hey, @glossy blade , this concerns the whole STALKER community so I dare ping you, brother, as Ukrainian media seems to be spreading information Na'Vi has bought GSC, is that accurate or it's the bs as usual?

[toxic kettle]

this is some serious shit

All over Ukrainian news portals

Hey, Pastorazzi commented on the situation here(https://itc.ua/ua/novini/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-grygorovych-krippa-gsc-game-world/), short answer is that nothing really changed.

[hazy helm]

yes

[toxic kettle]

May you be kind enough to explain the context please good sir

[toxic kettle]

expected

[hazy helm]

Maxim Krippa,the owner of Navi,bought majority shares in GSC from what I understand

GSC remains soverign of its actions and IPs

Maxim is the main benefactor

[toxic kettle]

will it effect the game negatively ?

[glossy blade]

One of GSC investors and co-owners also works with NAVI, Maincast and other various businesses.

[hazy helm]

reportedly,as said by GSC,the operations and internals of GSC have not changed with this

no need to worry

[toxic kettle]

feww

anyone got anything intresting to share

[solid dome]

Huh?

[solid dome]

So pretty much confirmed at this point. God. Damn....

I guess you'll put an English announcement soon then

[glossy blade]

I mean... Our cooperation started back in 2020

Nothing new and major

[solid dome]

Still, an announcment for the English speaking fanbase is major

[toxic kettle]

wait who are you sir ?

Reason: Bad word usage

[pine rapids]

If I'm going to add more to my Stalker story, I gotta be in the right condition

[finite dragon]

I dunno, I like both factions equally

And I have a hard time choosing, which I like more

[pine rapids]

regarding factions, I'm torn between Military and Duty

I just found out some spoilers about Duty today and it made me think twice on it

[winged river]

whats the difference both of them are a-holes

[finite dragon]

I like the Military a bit, but Duty has always been a turn off for me

Duty has this air of "I'm better than you, because I'm fighting for a cause!"

[pine rapids]

Duty catches my interest, not because of that, but because a good chunk of them were soldiers who were stuck there

then again, the spoilers I read on reddit today revealed some shit, so...

[finite dragon]

Well the Military are atleast openly a-holes, Duty tries to have its cake and eat it, by pretending to be friendly while acting like absolute dirt bags.

Whys that? Lol

[finite dragon]

I mean don't get me wrong, I respect what Duty does but I hate how they treat everyone.

Lmao

Theres also the issue that no one makes Renegade art

Really?

[hazy helm]

no one likes renegades
suffice to say no one does it

[finite dragon]

I mean thats fair, most people just look at the Renegades as "Bootleg Bandits" who're just a Tutorial Speedbump

[pine rapids]

so, I'm new to the community, and so far all I've done is binge watch operatordrewski videos on stalker, research a whopping amount of stuff in the stalker universe, listen to campfire guitar music, look at memes, and begin working on a story set in stalker

[finite dragon]

Welcome to the Stalker Community

[pine rapids]

yep

yes.

[hazy helm]

Drewski as only ever done anomaly videos hasnt he\

[pine rapids]

yes

it is what it is

I got a gaming laptop, so it should work

[hazy helm]

Anomaly isnt stalker,it based on a stand alone mod based on a stand alone mod based on a stand alone mod based on a stand alone mod that was based on a stand alone mod
and overall its,a very much different experience,its its own experience

just like NS or OP2

[finite dragon]

Shadow of Chernobyl is the start of the series, Clear Sky is the chronological start

[winged river]

if you can run anomly you can 100% run games that were made in the late 2000s

[hazy helm]

100 will work
dont even worry about it
if you get errors try using ZRP

or

zone reclamation project

otherwise you can just play vanilla

[winged river]

man playing a real stalker game made me realize how crappy the other free spinoffs are

[hazy helm]

mhe
there is worth in freeplay experiences
but play one play them all
unless you are doing some HEAVY gameplay overhaul,you are not going to get a different experience from each other

which is why Story Mods are better,since they are better at conveying an entirely new experience,Id say

[finite dragon]

I prefer Freeplay to Story

[hazy helm]

but this is all to say,there hasnt been real innovation on the Freeplay Genre since 2014

[winged river]

the stuff i played before soc were all multiplayer

will to live was absolute crap cause it was a dead end

[finite dragon]

I want to like Warfare, but all my favorite factions suck in Warfare

[hazy helm]

sio Id say that Freeplay as a whole,is a very muich undercooked idea that has potential that is squandered in new mods

[winged river]

and stalcraft was just toxic

[finite dragon]

As the Renegades?

That's actually pretty impressive

I tried to do a Renegade Warzone run, but It was like playing Whack-A-Mole with the Military

[hazy helm]

I will say
Warfare is a lot better at conveying the dinamity and simulation of the world that freeplay wants to be,but its so chaotic its p...hard to make anything BUT a shooting galery with it
BUT that shooting galery ios the best experience I had with freeplay yet

Global War is so real for this

so so real

[pine rapids]

I think the rifles that I'd be absolutely stoked to find would be the SVT-40, the SVD, and an AK-74M

[hazy helm]

there is no SVT in the games

[pine rapids]

I know that's not what their names in-game are tho

[pine rapids]

wait really?

[hazy helm]

yes

[pine rapids]

crap

[hazy helm]

good thing we regulate that now

[winged river]

when you play soc for the first time

oh then have fun fighting enemies with magnets in their pockets

1 bullet out of the 3 mags you dump will hit

[hazy helm]

I have been told that Demosfen is good and that Statsons CoC is the best for normal freeplay
need to play those

at least,until LR1.0.0 eventually releases which

will happen

someday

hopefully

we are talking freeplay

[winged river]

the only freeplay experience that i enjoyed for a bit was stalcraft

[hazy helm]

it is better than a roblox game

[winged river]

yea it legit feels more like roblox than minecraft

[hazy helm]

it has actual netcode

[winged river]

only really amusing part is

of how the mods that are used in the real stalker games become their own standalone game

stalcraft was more or less the same

it started out as a minecraft mod before the devs decided to make it into its own game cause they couldnt keep up with minecrafts updates

only thing i hated about it is how completely bs the factions are

[hazy helm]

the pvp right

[winged river]

not even

[worthy lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/shh-cats-gif-10955612

Shush

[winged river]

its more of like the factions that get the underground part of the map get a major advantage

[worthy lagoon]

Play Goldsphere

Suggesting goldsphere

[hazy helm]

TOO LATE
Im playing ALFAMODDER CoC and there is nothing you can do to stop me

[wary quarry]

I'm getting a bug in stalker clear skies and it's really starting to piss me off

[winged river]

it is from 2007 now

[worthy lagoon]

Burn

[worthy lagoon]

What bug

[wary quarry]

I don't know if it's a bug or whatever but I have a task where I got to defend a stalker that's in a certain area so I went over to go and help him he shot at the dogs the dogs ran off and now they're attacking a base but anytime I go to defend the base or try and kill the dogs before they can go to the base it cancels both missions and counts them as failures

[winged river]

is it a sidequest?

[wary quarry]

No clue but

[hazy helm]

its a emergent quest from faction wars

when the dogs attacked the guy and ran away scared,then attacked the base and got killed,it cleared both quests bc both quests taskled with killing them

keep going,dont worry about this quest

[worthy lagoon]

[winged river]

man after shutting down the brain scorcher i never thought id see my armor go below 80% of its durability

thank god i bought a seva before realizing duty gives you one for free

how rare is the f2000 in soc?

[hazy helm]

its a extremely late game weapon

[winged river]

im hauling around 2 crates worth of grenades and its weighing me down in terms of being able to hoard

[finite dragon]

F2000 is pretty late game, I got one after getting past the Barrier in Army Warehouses

It was in a stash ironically.

[winged river]

thats how i got my g36

[finite dragon]

G36 slaps, solid gun

[winged river]

yea i might go explore red forest now that the brain scorchers off

[finite dragon]

Lots of Monolith, prepare accordingly

[winged river]

they werent that bad

[finite dragon]

Oh they get worse

[winged river]

well i dare them to cause i want a gauss rifle

[finite dragon]

Red Forest in SoC is swarming with Monolith if I recall, and there are few allies present in the area

[winged river]

yea if they arent shooting each other

[finite dragon]

Dunno if any have a Gauss Rifle in Red Forest tho

[winged river]

they only start to spawn in pripyat i think

[finite dragon]

Yeah, they like to camp the rooftops, god those guys were a pain

[jagged gale]

The hell?! You can never get it unless you're in Sarcophagus

[finite dragon]

Swear on my life, I didn't expect to get the F2000, but I found it in a stash right at the entrance of Red Forest

It carried me to the end of SoC

[solid dome]

You for real?

Out of all mods I least expected you to be CoCk fan

[winged river]

is it normal for the military to be in rostok in soc

and if i kill any of them duty will try to kill me

[finite dragon]

I've never seen the Military in Rostok
